INSTANT REACTION: Jaylen Brown was on fire in Game 2 vs. Pacers, Celtics take 2-0 series lead 

Jaylen Brown reminds me of all the HOF Celtics from the 60s. I am old enough and lucky enough to have seen them play live. BR, especially. He's a combination of Sam Jones, KC Jones, Satch Sanders, all the supposed second fiddles in Boston. At its best, it's a team game.

JB7 for finals MVP💪

He earned that 300 mil salary

And he's not All-NBA???? Voters are nuts man, we need to snub JB from something else before Game 3 to get him going nuclear again.

Great W tonight, JB is playing DANGEROUS ball rn!!!

J.B. MVP! J.B. MVP!😊

Great adjustments by Mazzulla putting Oshea in. He played great with energy, defense, and gave Horford rest. Holiday another amazing game he help also getting Tatum easy shot because Tatum was struggling in the beginning of the game, this is another thing that improved from last year.

Wow amazing performance by Boston Celtics and the whole team that has sacrificed so much for their team and their teammates they totally deserved this win by the way they played this game and this game one . If they keep playing like they played this series and elevating their game to adjust to their opponents they will definitely win the championship this year. And it definitely starts with winning the second round of this series Amazing and good job by the whole Celtics on the defense end and the offense end of the floor.This is what the Celtics is supposed to do if they want to keep advancing to the third and thr fourth and fifth round and when the NBA championship including beating who is awaiting them in the later rounds. This was a great night for Jaylen Brown and Derrick White who lead the Celtics this game.

Jaylen Brown ENTER his 1st YEAR PRIMES 💪🔥💪

My guess is tomorrow ESPN will do the Jaylen vs Tatum "who is actually their best player" debate like we've teleported back to 2019.

When Smart got traded away, the big question was who was going to be the locker room leader. I think we all know who it is after tonight..

Man i can't wait for KP to get back and this team really snatch the chip this year!

Great win tonight. JB was terrific, and big time for us. But people have to understand porzingis hasn't been back for like almost a month. So I don't want to hear it. We would still have beaten the heat and thr cavs even them being healthy and if we were healthy.

Let’s go what a performance from JB making a strong mvp case

One game at a time.

Media is lucky KP isn’t healthy… all of these games would be blowouts

Hopefully KP can come back for game 3 or 4 so he can adapt back into the game before NBA finals against mavericks/Timberwolves

Love JB making teams pay for focusing on Tatum, and when the opposition focuses on Brown, Tatum will make them pay.

Love it Celtics are killing it but the job is far from over

Game 2 win baby! ☘️

2nd team all NBA snubs makes Jaylen angry grrr

Wooooaaaa the choke shirt Reggie Miller… House got no filter DAMN😱😱

The better team won period

Crowd sound was perfect. Nbc needs to help their commentators.

Nice to finally get a G2 win! Mission's not over though. have to go to indy and play with desperation to win G3 as if they lost game 2. on to the things i liked and disliked: liked- 1. JB deserves this #1 spot. he played under control, had great shot selection and played through a minor injury. definitely was an absurd snub for all-nba and to a lesser extent all-def. I pegged white to be the EC MVP, but after this masterclass, i'm changing my call to JB winning it. he has been the most consistent celtic these playoffs. 2 speaking of d.white, this will go under the radar but he was super clutch in this game. Remember that time when indy pulled to within 3? who staved off the run to give the celtics separation? here's 4 celtic possessions that happened after that: a. d.white layup b. d.white dunk that should've been a 3 point play c. d.white drive into a pass for a JT layup d. d.white 3 3. Saw Joe change the defensive coverages and put Al on Siakam like i called last time. sure siakam got hot but we werent getting beat by the others anymore. less 3s too. Good adjustment by Joe. I want to see this continue in G3. it made indy's offense stagnant. bonus: shoutout to brissy for coming in cold and being a pest on defense. 3 steals! disliked- 1. i have been a staunch defender of JTs lack of scoring but this was his worst game of the playoffs. there was a stretch towards the end of the 2Q where he just disengaged on defense, like he let his misses affect his effort on D and the boards. and yeah look at his boards this gam. he had a good stretch in the 2nd half but his defense and rebounding were below his usual standards. 2. X looked lost and disinterested in garbage time. why did we play him? just let him grieve his dad's death for now and play Queta. its garbage time anyway and hes matched up vs. isaiah jackson. i dont want to see X in G3 if hes still not ready to play. play Brissy and queta instead (assuming luke is injured). 3. Carlisle pulled his starters midway through the 4Q. IMO Joe should've rested his starters/not risked injury with a 15+ point lead and the pacers bench in with 3m to go. better to give playoff experience to the bench guys and to get sam, brissy and pp into a rhtyhm. This was all the more important for Jb as he was managing a minor injury. Great to shut up the haters for a bit and have them grasping at straws to fault these celtics. I'd like to see a better start for boston in G3 especially if Hali's out. have to show that killer instinct and not give indy any confidence that they can hang with them. Let's go Cs! Beat indy!

Tried to watch this but the live audience in pretty annoying....

6 to go! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Thats my guy, Eddie "making big shots for a pay" House! I love love that guy! Also, Scal, great to see you happy!

JB 🔥🔥🔥

Boston - Dallas: Finals Tatum & JB vs. Luka & Karie. What a series this will be. Tatum gets Finals MVP as Celtics win game 7 in OT at home. Each game will be decided by 3 or less possessions. No disrespect to Indiana or Ant Man I just think experience is the conference finals X-Factor.

I want to watch this after every game, but the live fans behind the desk is a terrible option, i get it for the hype but you can hardly hear anything! Get in the studio post match lads

Six wins away from banner 18🎉

Round 1 Butler, Round 2 Mitchell, Round 3 Haliburton injury report wow!

Kornett injury makes Celtics fast

And most people say that he's not worth the 300m contract smh 😆😅💪🍀

JB is our MJ

Had to give up watching. Can’t hear what they’re saying with the fan noise. Especially when Chris Forsberg was in the stands. Ridiculous. Fix this. 😢

The Pacers are actually worse than Heat and Cavs on defense, especially on Pick and Pop situations. Those open 3s that Derrick White and Jrue Holiday had this game had not been there for the Celtics at least for the past 1.5 months. They are lucky KP is not available cuz that's what he excelled.

This dude brown is a monster man how tf wasn’t he a all nba member ts really sad for the league to do that to this apex predator

Eddie and Scal please be honest about Tatum’s average compete in this game, that’s all I’m asking!

JB I will go fire on game 3 LFG

JB is the senior partner of the JBJT Boston Law Firm.

WHERE IS KP ??????? We need him back now.

JB was POed regarding the 3 All NBA teams’ voting which was beyond nonsense. There were 9 players on 2nd and 3rd team All NBA Teams which JB will wipe the floor with all the time. This was in the Words of the great Johnny Most “A Travesty”. ☘️☘️☘️☘️💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀🍀 #18

#NBA how does BROWN make 2nd team a year ago plays better this season leading his team to a possible Championship and don't make none of the teams. NBA award voting is becoming full of crap, they have Haliburton on their and he can't even play both sides of the court! #7uice putting them on notice clearly the biggest SNUB!

🔱⚔️💚⚔️🔱

The Celtics only came this far because of an easy road once again. They have a clear path to sweep.

JB7MVP 💪☘️☘️💪

Sam Hauser another zero from his 4 3-point attempts!

KP is the real looser here.. he watching his team winning without his help...

Please don’t struggle in Game 3!!! #NOCHOKINGPLEASE

I hate to be a downer but can the people in the back shut up so I can hear what they have to say better

We gotta kills this format of Shout Over A Crowd of Rubes. It's never been a good thing for any show, going back to the days of public hangings. It's moronic.

U clowns r funny 🤡haters will regret what there saying rn

Those ppl in the background suck

Trade Tatum while his value is still high. Need another dangerous big like the Timberwolves. Giannis

Trade Tatum for a real franchise player. Giannis looking at you. Embiid
