Can we never play the Pacers again? Brogdon was a treat to watch, but this Pacers team makes the most stupidest of shots against us
What an awesome game
Pesky ass pacers
Smart saved our ass in OT. Ugly but a w is a w
Ah yes, another 30-plus-point off night for Tatum.
Fun game. Good win. Nice to have everyone back.
A win is a win!
Jesus Christ
When 31/12/7 is considered a rough game for Tatum. That’s my MVP
let’s agree not to talk about this game again lol
We all thought that Nesmith there’s was going in, right?
Never in doubt!
Which one of you guys in the game thread called Tatum finishing with 31 after his 6 point half?
Brogdon, Buffalo, and Hauser were huge off the bench. A win is a win.
Not that it would’ve gone through since Jordan overpaid, but I wonder sometimes what it would be like if the Gordon Hayward for Myles Turner trade happened.
Haliburton is the new Middleton Celtics Killer, my god
What a game! Took everything we had.
Candidate for game of the year. Jesus my heart is still pounding.
Probably the most annoying win this season lol
How many teams in NBA history have won a game when their opponent has made 22 threes? I’m gonna guess not many.
Bulls, pacers and the magic i want to be done with those teams
A win is a win, no matter how thin.
Good job to grind out the W
Keep improving, keep learning
6 straight in games where we don’t sit everyone
Very entertaining but was missing more Buffalo plz
Myles with the best game of his life lolol
Pacers are annoying against us lol, Turner with a career performance but we survive ! Tbh not feeling too positive though, hopefully there was just some post break rust because we made a lot of mistakes
Who else was waiting for a Zion-esque windmill by Tatum at the end?
Need a cardiologist after that one
I swear Jaylen is the least reliable clutch FT shooter, unless you rely on him missing at least one free throw in the clutch
Where that guy who said mark my words Tatum will get 31
Defense is merely a suggestion
“JT is having such a bad game”
*Somehow ends up with 31/12/7*
Frustrating lack of defense and turnovers, but still got the dub.
The way I look at it, we all thought they played well vs the Bucks before the All Star Break, but at the end of the day that was still an L in the standings. No matter what happened in this game, it’s still a W in the standings.
Just gonna take a second to take the W for calling in the game threat Tatum would finish with 31 with 2 minutes left in the first half.
Those 4 free throws when we were down three saved us from losing this game lol
Sam ‘Dikembe Mutombo’ Hauser
I think my favorite part was the very end where JT broke away and had an easy dunk but knew it wasn’t necessary and showed off the great sportsmanship
Why no Muscala?
its insane how much reddit is complaining about the officials favoring boston when every foul called on the pacers in OT was the clearest of fouls and horford gets called for the weakest touch foul on a haliburton drive..
Malcom Brogdon now leads the NBA in 3pt%. That’s pretty cool.
