Pacers conveniently positioned inactive players, in white shirts, in the corner as close to the court as possible. Great shot by JB, but how’s this allowed?

The NBA shouldn’t allow this at all regardless of the team. Insane that those guys are inches from JB.

Oh come on… that is some fairly innocent simple gamesmanship.

This is why people hate Celtics fans. You’re whining about this??? Enjoy the shot JB made!!!

Just saw JT angle, he’s not even planning to rebound in case it misses lol

I’m just in favor of moving the sidelines seats back in general, crazy how close all those people are.
Fuckblackhorses
Meh, at least they’re behind the line unlike when we used to play the nick nurse raptors
Kanusian
we were doing the same thing lol

The concentration to hit that shot with Siakam giving him zero air space and clipping JB’s legs was phenomenal.

I was thinking last night, how genius would it be for the home team to give out T-shirts to the court-side seats that just to happen to be the visiting teams colors?
cane_stanco
Who cares? He buried it in their faces.

Perfect position for them to watch JB drain the shot 🔥
simpledeadwitches
They’re behind the line, how do you think this isn’t allowed?
We won, no need to go fishing for bullshit.
PandasareBad
Jesus Christ you guys will complain about everything. The other team is allowed to have gamesmanship too.
subtlemurktide
Absolute not and there is a rule somewhere about standing from the bench for prolonged periods, but ofc it’s never enforced and doubly so not against us.
UtahUtopia
Cheaters.
blinkincontest
It’s simple gamesmanship that I think makes the NBA pretty fun BUT I also think the penalty for one of those guys even grazing JBs jersey on the shot should be massive, unfortunately I don’t think it would be.
millymills420420
those dudes are on the court haha
saturntowater
Sad that’s the closest they got to playing all game
TheSavageBeast83
Bwahahahahaha
Scalills
You’re grasping at straws with this one dawg
TheFirstExecutioner
It’s gamesmanship. They’re not the first to do it and certainly won’t be the last
Uggys
I’m sure red did nothing like this
dubble_chyn
It’s called gamesmanship. If the Celtics did it we’d be praising them
hymen_destroyer
They aren’t on the court.
Let’s not make a huge deal out of this
Flaky_Value6753
Yeah just because they’re behind the line doesn’t mean you need to be right at it. I have an issue with everyone (players, cameramen, spectators) being so close to the court.
Wally450
This happens almost all the time in any close game. Active or inactive players. Right up there tight to the sideline.
A_Saiyan_Prince
Who cares.
Celtics in 4.
morosco
That’s just smart.

Hot take: I love shit like this, and want my team to push limit of what’s allowed. If they let them stand right up to the line, then stand right up to the line. If they let bench players wear distracting shirts, then have the bench players wear distracting shirts.
Mygaffer
They are allowed to be there.

Nick Nurse called he wants his gimmicky shenanigans back
Chino780
Miami does that all the time.

Reminds me of last post season where Niang was able to slap JB on the leg while he was sitting on the bench, and there was no punishment from the league
abadinfluencelol
Isn’t this part of the crew that T’d up Tatum for waving his hand after he didn’t get a call last series? What’s next, Tatum gets a T for rolling his eyes at the refs?
dolo_ran6er
Lol this is crazy to put together.

Pacers didn’t know Jrue was in-bounding. They planned to fail

Knicks fan checking in. In game 7 early when it got chippy a pacers bench player ran on the court and got in the fugaze scuffle. Ended in canceling techs with zero applied or mention to that random bench player on the court. These guys are infuriating, I hope you wax them in 4.
