That stat about Jaylen not hitting a tying or go ahead 3 in the final 10 seconds is not true. He hit one against the jazz in 2018 and one against the rockets in 2020. Good job Espn.
I’m a Celtics fan but the funniest part about them not fouling is the fact that if they would’ve foul Jaylen brown on the shot, he would’ve definitely missed one of then free throws lol
I'm worried. Indiana is going to clean up those turnovers in game 2. The C"s always struggle at home in the playoffs and we ain't going undefeated in Indiana like we did in Cleveland and Miami.
@@yomamasofat77Why are you worried? Pacers suck on defense unlike Cavs/Heat. Cavs are actually a solid defensive team. Pacers turn the ball over due to Brown and JRue's ball pressure. I think Coach Mazulla is going to give Horford/Kornet less minutes and play Tillman more. Celtics will not shoot so poorly from 3 in game 2. Celtics will do a better job forcing the Pacers to shoot tougher shots. Celtics will clean up their large amount of turnovers.
@@Robin-xt7yo AYYYY! Robin! Yeah, Scal got that one right! The guy has had his fingerprints all over these games - this one in particular. Such a nice change from Smart hoisting up bonehead threes 😂
@@ryanb9305 true but if he and Tatum don’t turn the ball over the way they did, and if JB had hit his free throws earlier then they’d never have been in that spot to begin with.
@@No-cw1psCeltics will play better too. Also game 7 against the Knicks the Pacers shot 65% from the field which was a playoff record, that’s called an outlier game because it’s rare. Good luck shooting like that again. Try knowing your basketball history before calling someone casual.
Holiday is the reason why Boston stole the w back from Indiana........the C's had no business grabbing the victory from the jaws of defeat. But Holiday was the consistent, steady presence that kept Boston right there.
Yea we all knew when we saw who was referring how this would go lol had to keep a foot on their neck because if it got close , you gonna hear that whistle.
Brown hit a crazy banker against Miami to send it to OT last regular season so that stat abt it being his first 3 to tie or take the lead in the final seconds is objectively wrong lol
@@robbie4084They said “believe it or not it’s the first time in his career”, he never said anything about the playoffs, even tho that’s prolly what he meant to say.
Celtics played sloppy after a week off… this game was a win but I’m betting it was a wake up call to Boston. I think Bostons going to come out swinging again in game 2 and play a lot cleaner game
This is what they do. God, it's in front of everyone and no one wants to believe what they're seeing. Not sure I've seen anything like that before although I can't think of anything less important than the opinions of people's random opinions on the ESPN comment section
@@light3181 You must be one of them old head still talking about back in my days 😂😂 you’ve got to admit the game today is more skilled and advanced then back then💯
@@DomonicLacy see how my comment was about the mental and yours skill, this has nothing to do with old head new head ….. I’m bringing it back to just few years when we saw elite mental fortitude of a team like raptors , warriors , nuggets , they had schemes and plays that were just automatic for their team & players(Steph , kawhi , jokic ) , now it’s just pick and roll , drive and kick , repeat …. it’s too erratic
KAT sat in Minnesota for like 8 years before they drafted an alpha dog to get them winning. Halliburton went to the Pacers and change their fortunes overnight. Incomparable.
Man they be doing JB dirty yo and I hate it. He is my Jimmy butler since he came into the league not only is he literally the longest on court employee of the Celtics he is the key player to their Offense and Defense all 7-8 years JT is just a stat padder tbh, if feels like JT is just a shorter KD, and JB is the true baller and alpha of the team don't care what anyone says JT is just a KD type player but JB is truly the Man amongst Men
JB is my favorite Celtic although I do love the first 8. JB is the true dawg, aggressive and is usually the one scoring the team's first points to set the tone.
Reason why KD has 2 rings and Jimmy has 0. You tried to downplay JT by boosting JB and made no sense. JT leads the team in points rebounds assists steals. How is he just a scorer and JB is the alpha? Stop it. JB a dawg for sure but stop feeding into that narrative that he is on the level of Tatum
Even though Hali complains a lot I agree with his TO thoughts. The pacers beat themselves down the stretch. Early through the 3rd we forced turnovers, but they ended up destroying themselves at the end and in OT. Good game. Cs in 5
NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF CELTICS GETTING SWEPT THESE MEN ARE DANGEROUS GOTTA CELTICE GOTTA BRING IT 48 MINS. EVERY GAME/PACERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL....THE BEST SERIES IN THE PLAYOFF AFTER DENVER/MINN. KNICKS/PACERS AND IT JUST GETTING BETTER/BETTER!!!!
Tatum came to play this time yall But he needs to calm down alittle..started getting to rushy anxious at times BUT I can see the hunger in all of them really HORFORD balled on both sides too....Holiday playing like the Holiday he is Jaylen is the man for awhile now too.White finally stepped up..Need more from him GOOD GAME KNOW ITS GONNA GET BETTER/INTERESTING!!!!!!!
Great analysis on the in ball..I dont know why he didnt hv McConnell in those last 4mins..at least..he makes smart & quick reads..& can stay in front of guys as he has good defensive ftwk.
last 3 years tatum in crunch time 2021-22 season 37.2% Ranks 37th out of 47 2022-23 season 35.1% Ranks 50th out of 57 2023-24 season 31.9% Ranks 28 out of 29 this season: 5-21 fg (24%) game-tying or go-ahead fg in 4th quarter or OT And they wanna say brown isnt clutch ? 😂
That out of bounds call on the inbound pass…. I haven’t heard any one talk about how Siakim touched it after the ball bounced before it went out. I think it was off Pacers anyway but it wasn’t even close if you watch it back. I think the ref standing there saw that and that is why they didn’t replay it. At that point of the game, if they had a doubt they would’ve taken a look at that.
GOOD GAME!!!!!! They both play so much alike on D&OFF. Pacers just play faster thats how they play Celtics got to match their pace or slow the game down BUT no surprize Pacers is no joke yall they got a big three Haliburton/Turner/Siakam anddd goodddd role players These boys are dangerous/very confident I love the way Celtics played as far as moving the ball Didn't give fully to playing one on one offensive game cause when yall did yall started turning it over KEEP moving the ball/play TEAM BALL!!!!!!!!! Keep tight defense tight those boys can shootttt the whole team and yall can pull this out Celtics IT'S gonna be a dog fight all the way PACERS DO NOT QUIT!!!!!! CELTICS CUT DOWN TURNOVERS AND STOP THOSE OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS!!!!!!!!! THEY GETTING GEEESSHHH!!!!! CAN'T PREDICT THESE PLAYOFFS THESE TEAMSSS ARE BALLING/HUNGRY MAY THE BEST/HUNGRIEST TEAM WIN SO MANYYY GOOD AND UPCOMING TEAMS CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE TEAMS THAT MADE THE PLAYOFFS/ESPECIALLY TO THOSE THAT ARE STILL IN IT!!!! IT IS VERY TOUGH/HARD TO GET TO WHERE YALL ARE ALSO TO ALL THE COACHES/GM'S COACHING STAFFS IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE UP THESE PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Points in the paint: 58 boston to 56 Indiana 25ft boston to 3 Indiana 48 mins. OT Boston 5ft to Indiana 7ft in 5min. How do you go a whole game of 48 mins and only get 3ft. To then go in OT and double it in 5 min? NBA is unwatchable at this point.
Well because Pacers basically had zero attempts to drive to the basket, they were all fadeaway jump shots, mostly smaller guys targeting the switch with Al Horford. They also played sloppy defense and used the fouls to bail out easy buckets that the Celtics would have had which quickly put them in the bonus.
@@KingJerbear Indiana had 41 drives to the paint and the Celtics had 46 yeah makes sense for a 20 ft differential. And the points in the paint were 56 to 58. Tell me again how all they shot was jumpers lol
Watch the game next time instead of looking at stats. You clearly see Boston was in the bonus a lot because of the careless fouls by the pacers. Meanwhile Boston stayed composed on defense stop looking for excuses
Known for their intense defense, the Celtics seemingly fell asleep on Indiana. They're lucky they came away with that OT win. This is going to be a long and rough,series if Boston plays around and doesn't make their statement and take care of business like they should. Celtics in six. 3:33 3:34
I mean, they could. They lost Game 1 to themselves and Boston had trouble keeping up with their pace. If they play smarter and make slight adjustments , they could take it back next game.
@@triggatrey2112 ok...it's not fair that I can comment in hind sight, but now the Celts are up 3-0, and the Pacers don't have Tyrese...unless he risks serious damage to his reoccurring hamstring issue. If the Pacers don't pull off the Red Sox miracle, Celts are playing Mavs/Wolves for the big enchilada. Good luck.
With all the TO and FT disparity the Pacers still could have won this game. When you’re the underdog and you have a win in your lap you can’t drop it. What happened to Myles Turner in the 2nd half?
I’m a Celtics fan, but they REALLY benefitted from home court advantage (aka the refs) in this game. Without their help pacers would have won in regulation
@3:50 i dont believe it cause he had 1 game tying three against Houston Rockets a tip rebound by Marcus Smart to Jaylen Brown and drain the three to tie. So I dont believe it.
If I'm the pacers in taking this L with a grain of salt. They literally fumbled near the end but played a great game overall. Make some adjustments definitely have less turnovers and you can definitely pull out a game 2 dub. I'm not even a pacers fan I just like to see good competitive basketball and once again if I was on the pacers squad I wouldn't hang my head too low because of this. Go get some rest and watch the game 2 film of every Boston loss so far and see what you can exploit going into Thursday. Great game great shot by brown great defense by jrue. Need to catch game 2 at a bar or something😭
Carlise apologized for his errors. Where was Mazzulla's multiple apologies? Stupid time out toward the end of O/T which gave the Pacers hope to emulate the miracle save that the Celtics pulled out via the Jalen Brown play (1st forcing turnover and then hitting the 3 pt shot) Best bench in the NBA and he had them sit - tiny minutes or outright DNP Celtics got a double digit lead every quarter but starters too tired to keep it. Luckily Pacers hit the fatigue wall and made mistakes at the end.
Big props to the Pacers not being afraid of the Celtics and playing a great game for the most part…. But they just ruined their chance of having any hope of winning this series. Celtics in 5
Browns game tying or win 3s just off the top of my head was. Against Indiana, his 2nd year. Had 1 againt the rockets with James harden. Had 1 againt the knicks in their seson opener in 22( deep 3 by the way). Had 1 against the heat last season over jimmy Butler. Those are just the 3s that come to mind. He has plenty of drivrs and middies to tie the game in his career. This tatum agenda push is just out of control. The nba media will not give this dude any type of shine if it will make tatum look bad. I dont think I've ever witnessed this in my life.
How are they not a team that doesn't force T.O.s? They forced over twenty this game and he only named 3-4 that were unforced. He might have to rethink that.
You gotta foul JB, he's been throwing up bricks at the free throw line for awhile, for some reason. There's no way he's hitting three free throws in a row, but he can hit 1 three if you put your hands behing your back. 😂
IT'S JUST ONE GAME PEOPLE'S...THEY WILL M😮AKE ADJUSTMENTS!!!!!!! BOTH TEAMS MADE ALOT OF MISTAKES REALLY AS FAR AS TURNOVERS/ OFF. REBOUNDS WAIT AT LEAST TILL AFTER GAME THREE THEN IF YOU LIKE TOO THAN JUSGE/PREDICT CAN GO EITHER WAYYYY....LOOK HOW PACERS PLAYED LAST NIGHT AFTER COMING OFF A TRACK MEETING GAME WITH THE KNICKS ...THEY'VE PLAYED SOME REAL GOOD GAMES BUT LAST NIGHT WAS THEIR BEST!!! THEY MIGHT BE LIKE NUGGETS NEAR THE END EXHAUSTED!!!! AND CAN'T PULL IT OFF. BUT I SAW CELTICS EXHAUSTED LAST NIGHT TOO AFTER RESTING LONGER THAN PACERS BUT THIS IS THE WAY PACERS PLAY PERIOD AND CELTICS NOT USE TO RUNNING THIS FAST/CONTINUELY THEY NEED TO SLOW THE GAME DOWN. YOU CANNOT PLAY REAL HARD DEFENSE CONTINUELY AND PERFORM OFFENSIVELY AND CONSISTENTLY RUNNING IN TRANSISTION.THAT'S HOW THEY BEAT NUGGETS MADE JOKIC/MURRAY PLAY DEF./OFF. AND DRAINED THEM REALLY ALL OF THEM NUGGETS WASN'T USED TO PLAYING THAT WAY PACERS ARE THAT'S THE WAY THEY PLAY ...THIS ERA THAT'S RISING UP NOWWWW YOU GOTTA BE IN TIP-TOP SHAPE THESE YOUNG MEN ARE FULL OF ENERGY AND PLAY THE TRANSISTION /RUNNING GAME!!!!! HIT THE GYM JOKIC&COMPANY/ZION/LUKA EVERYBODY IF YALL GONNA HANG WITH THESE UPCOMING LEAGUE &STARVING YALL KNOW HOWEN ARE WHEN THEY THEY HUNGRY NOT TO MENTION STARVING!!!!!!!!
