The Celtics are not fully healthy. I’ve heard that theory like 50 times day.. as long as porzongis isn’t active the Celtics are down a major piece to their team. Period.
@@MattSwift1988no he doesn’t, mathruin is the only player on the pacers that can get a bucket and to the line when the game slows, besides siakam occasionally in the post… they were 20-3 when he scored atleast 15
They need better coaching at the end to tell Haliburton not to take bad shots or turn the ball over. Siakham getting his jersey grabbed so he couldn't separate on the inbound play turnover was beyond their control. Letting the tying 3 point shot was terrible defense, he was allowed to take 2 seconds to get the ball and set himself before going up for the shot....plenty of time to foul. They certainly threw thst game away.
REGGIE MILLER is on point. ENDGAMES, where pressure is at it's peak, is the most crucial part, especially in a close BIG GAME. The TEAM/PLAYERS who are focused, confident, can negate pressure with mental toughness/strong will to win, maintains composure, will be able to execute their OFFENSE and DEFENSIVE SCHEMES, and WIN the GAME. PACERS made a SERIES of MISTAKES. RICK CARLISLE didn't call a timeout. HALIBURTON choked and made a turnover. Then, he made a crucial turnover on a terrible inbound pass. That's a WON GAME and THEY LOST IT.
Pacers beat themselves in Game 1: the majority of the adjustments that can be made are on their side. Boston played their game and honestly should have lost the game if not for INDIANA mistakes (coaching and mental)!
Hes right you just cant give games away to good teams. Now theyd have to win 4 out of 6 to a team that probably hasnt lost 4 out if 6 all year. Huge loss.
@@emeraldcrowley9837 weird how all the great Coaches are home . Must have a lot to do with coaching and yet Carlisle is the one who choked Like a dog and gave the game away. I watched enough to know Brad didn't win any rings and the great Ime embarrassed himself against an old Warriors team. So what coach do we need 😂
I'd love to see the Pacers get swept.😂The Knicks were the hobbling walking wounded and it took Indiana to beat them in 7 games. They blew leads against NY in games 1 and 2 and got their doors blown off in game 5 against a very short handed Knicks team 😂
we can bounce back on tomorrow's game.stick your gameplan no more turnovers bring the intensity of the road game.let's go pacers fight and revenge then silence the whole crowd🔥
This is the Halliburton Pacers' first year getting this far. This is the Celtic's 5th time or so in the 2nd round and beyond. So if the Pacers of this year went against Tatum's Celtics of his 1st or 2nd trip to the playoffs, Pacers would have won. But the Pacers don't have the steel and experience that the Celtics do. They are 4-5 Playoff chances from Boston's experience. Hence the nerves and choking. IF the Halliburton led Pacer's do this in Playoff attempt 3, 4, and 5 in future years then yes they are ultimate chokers. But sadly they gotta go through these growing pains. When did any champs do it in their 1st iteration in big run number 1?
If I’m Boston, and I hear Rick Carlisle say what he said about the loss being on him, I am salivating. I am doing everything I can to make him and the team regret all of the mistakes they made in G1 bc right now Indiana is weak and has shown blood, and Boston needs to respond in dominating fashion for G2, which I expect from Tatum.
@@jamesknoblett236 A game that Boston had no business of winning, and stole from Indiana. The Celtics up to this point, have been sleepwalking throughout the playoffs and now that they got a taste of what death could be, they’re not going to let that experience happen again. I know I’m being hyperbolic here, but I don’t see how Indiana will be able to recover for G2.
Y'all need to STOP SUCKING ON JASON TATUM & BOSTON NUTTS. ITS ONLY GAME 1. CAN'T WAIT TO MY PACERS TURN THE TABLES, SO I CAN COME BACK HERE & LAUGH AT THE BOSTON CELTICS FANS.
A lot of ppl talk about what the Pacers didn’t do to close the game instead of what Boston DID do to win the game. A lot of hate towards Boston out there after a hard fought OT win.
How Reggie gunna break down that loss without even mentioning JB causing that inbounds pass turnover OR him hitting that huge corner 3-pointer OR Tatum dominating in OT?? 🤔🤔🤔
Rick has helped the Pacers lose a few games this year by not calling a timeout in the closing moments. We lost every single one. Reggie is speaking common sense. Take the time out. Advance the ball. Put in TJ as the in-bounder, NOT Nembhard. All common sense.
Always the coaches fault, Rick made some horrible passes and dribble the ball off his foot, not sure what Rich was thinking, glad your smart enough to see all this
Celtics also played injury riddled teams although they woulda beat them anyway. Celtics and Pacers are the healthiest teams left in the east. Everyone else beat up. Lol
I can't wait till Haliburton makes this dude a secondary face....Reggie is NEVER at a game, even though we are good, unless he works. Reggie was done wrong by some moran and I think he has held it against the city. Reggie acts like a GOD in a place he never shows his face. Love what he did for us and was happy he stayed.....WTS just like this answer he always hides in the shadow's.....Haliburton WILL win a title and no more we have to listen to him because he told Spike Lee off. #hater #doubter #wheresReggie
Obliterated? I don’t think you know the meaning of that word. Indy shot really well but it’s not like they shot 60% like they did vs the Knicks in game 7. And if you obliterate a team, you’re not losing the game. 🤡
@@Andy_Babb But you fooled me. My bad. I'm partial to Reggie because I dated his ex, and he gave us courtside seats whenever he and Ricky came to Boston to face humiliation by Bird, Parish, & McHale. 🙂
@@GB-ez6ge oh, dude… you won’t hear me saying anything negative about miller(short of the rings). I think he was GREAT. I was just busting balls lol I also think Reggie is a good person, so no disrespect
Here is how I explain it, NBA sucks, the refs blow ( saw at least 20 fouls not called, 15 by the Celtics), stupid defense at end of game for PROs???? Its all laughable. NBA is the worst pro league in America, 65% of the players are mediocre at best. But DP just keeps talking NBA. I'll watch hockey.
@@GB-ez6ge Bruins LOL Just watch hockey no matter who is playing 1000% better than 10 guys walking down the smallest playing surface in Pro sports and nine watching one shoot from 33 ft out...Laughable
@@jakepb27 delusional. It took the Pacers 7 games to beat a Knicks team with only one all-star and half their starters out or banged up. SMH I swear some fools make predictions not based at all on facts and contrary to all logic.
@@GB-ez6ge The Pacers, their fans, and their coach know that mistakes were made. Having said that, a 20 FTA differential (30-10) for the Celtics to win by 5 points also shows significant help in scoring in favor of the Celtics.
