Porzingus is our glue
I was more hyped to see the Celtics get in to the tourney, than I am bummed about them being knocked out. Anyone else feel the same way?
To be honest I’m just happy we’re getting Porzingis back 🙂 and glad to see Kornet started to play better when a larger role was required of him.
I know it’s just a stupid in season tournament but my god does this team always look the same in big games
Couldn’t hit threes
They could
Turned the ball over
They didn’t
Pain
Nesmith revenge game
Embarrassing
Not much you can do when they shoot almost 20% better than 3. It is frustrating how few turnovers we’ve forced under Mazzulla though, with this amount of defensive talent we shouldn’t be one of the worst teams at it in the league.
Fuck ending games like we did. Just embarrassing to watch us foul our way to an even bigger loss.
Fun game, but this is why playoffs are best of seven. We were frigid from three and they were scorching.
This oil company guy is pretty good
Mental Midgets strike again
The over-reliance on the three and turnovers is what killed us. We had a good game plan of just driving to the bucket and they couldn’t stop us. And we just went away from it in the third quarter, for some fucking reason.
Not to mention the abysmal defense to end the game as well. Couldn’t make a damn stop when it mattered.
I blame the ugly court for the loss. God awful colors.
No need to overreact on this one, Pacers hit some tough shots and played with more energy. Still just a regular season game, tournament is kinda fun tho ngl
File it away guys; we’ll see them again
Single game elimination makes me so thankful I’m not a fan of a CBB team. March Madness would give me too much anxiety.
That non Tatum lineup in the 3rd quarter fucked us
The biggest joke of the night is Tatum forcing the three after Haliburton hit his 4point play. I’m so tired of him swinging for homers when things get tight. Whatever takes the least amount of work to get points is what he constantly settles with in the clutch. Step back three after step back three. The whole league knows it.
Does KP score 11 points? I say yes
Story of this game was the 3pt percentages. Clowns out here saying this team isn’t tough or that the Jays don’t have what it takes need a reality check
Still wanted this trophy, sick of being “the best team in the nba” with nothing to show for it
Aaron Nesmith looking like Pat Bev after winning a play-in game lol.
Yea I’m out on this tournament lmao /s.
Credit to Indiana for coming to play. Insane shot making by them all night and they stepped up there D as well. This is what we you get in single a single elimination tournament. We all know what our goal is this year.
17 turnovers from this seasoned veteran team.
6 from the young upstart Pacers, in case you were wondering.
Sadly the right team won this game. Celtics came out with no energy after halftime thinking they can sleepwalk to a win. I’m hoping they learn something from this loss.
I’ve flipped on the IST. I think it’s good to give teams and fanbases something to cheer about when they haven’t for a long time.
It’s meaningless, yeah. But it makes sense from a marketing perspective. Hali just called it the most important game of his career
Lucky to not lose by more. 17 to 6 turnovers and 29% to 47% three point shooting. Embarrassing.
If we’re not fully healthy come playoff time we are fucked. This was the evidence of that
I’ve been telling ppl haliburton is a legit MVP level player. 26/10/13 and 0 TO’s. He looked like the best player out there. Tatum needed to get more action in the 3rd .
KP is def missed but we had no excuses to lose. Tatum and Brown should’ve brought us home. We usually win 95% of games Tatum and brown score 30 each. Very rare loss
Good game, got beat by a team that wanted it more, and hit big shots. That’s basketball.
Tonight confirmed that the championship aspirations rely on the health of KP.
How does Jaylen brown only get 1 FT all game
Hauser needs to be in the crunch time lineup.
Got punked by a worse team
