  1. crackdup

    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

  4. HailKyrie

    Smart saved our ass in OT. Ugly but a w is a w

  5. Pete6r

    Ah yes, another 30-plus-point off night for Tatum.

  6. NervousPervis

    Fun game. Good win. Nice to have everyone back.

  9. Barrwill29

    When 31/12/7 is considered a rough game for Tatum. That’s my MVP

  10. BostonKarlMarx

    let’s agree not to talk about this game again lol

  11. srstone71

    We all thought that Nesmith there’s was going in, right?

  13. __TB12__

    Which one of you guys in the game thread called Tatum finishing with 31 after his 6 point half?

  14. 1337speak

    Brogdon, Buffalo, and Hauser were huge off the bench. A win is a win.

  15. WarPuig

    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.

  16. HawkingSucks

    Haliburton is the new Middleton Celtics Killer, my god

  18. GonePhishn401

    Candidate for game of the year. Jesus my heart is still pounding.

  19. bailey_benz

    Probably the most annoying win this season lol

  20. NotLow420

    How many teams in NBA history have won a game when their opponent has made 22 threes? I’m gonna guess not many.

  21. Lightingfast31

    Bulls, pacers and the magic i want to be done with those teams

  23. Brad-Stevens

    Good job to grind out the W

    Keep improving, keep learning

    6 straight in games where we don’t sit everyone

  24. amanda82101

    Very entertaining but was missing more Buffalo plz

  25. rhinotmane

    Myles with the best game of his life lolol

  26. stargazing1111

    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

  27. BurnerAcct42105

    Who else was waiting for a Zion-esque windmill by Tatum at the end?

  29. downlooker

    I swear Jaylen is the least reliable clutch FT shooter, unless you rely on him missing at least one free throw in the clutch

  30. Moodapatheticz

    Where that guy who said mark my words Tatum will get 31

  32. DieYuppieScum91

    “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.

  33. srstone71

    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.

  34. Abstract__Nonsense

    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.

  35. AirJordan6124

    Those 4 free throws when we were down three saved us from losing this game lol

  37. id-rather-be-sailing

    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

  39. JesseJamesGames449

    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..

  40. soup_and_sandwich_

    Malcom Brogdon now leads the NBA in 3pt%. That’s pretty cool.
