    ECF game: i sleep 😴

    WCF game: *REAL SHIT?*

  2. ByronTheBlack

    Celtics really got a cake walk path to the finals

  3. luvvdmycat

    Indiana night life is undefeated.

    This is gonna be an uphill battle for Boston.

  4. waffle-spouse

    Celtics will still find a way to lose this game

  5. ByronTheBlack

    Take any team that made the playoff in the West, put them in the East and they’ll make it to the Finals.

  6. e-manresu

    If the Celtics lose this game, I will eat as many clover marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal as they have points scored tonight.

  7. herbertstan

    I’m actually hype for tonight’s game. Pacers’ backs are against the wall. It’s their home court. Doubt Tyrese is gonna go down not even swinging. We neutral fans deserve more free basketball. LFG Indiana let’s get this series to at least 6

  8. Drummallumin

    No Haliburton almost guarantees Pacers make at least 20 3s tonight

  9. expecting a siakam 30 point game and a blowout loss lol

  10. OkNeighborhood8365

    Love the debates on the Celtics road to the finals. Every single one says “not that it matters BUT” then writes 3 paragraphs on it

  11. Swarthykins

    I’m gonna hedge and say we’re close enough to the finals that these guys can smell it. They step on the gas and take care of business. I’m not saying it’ll be a 20-point blowout, but we don’t fall asleep at the wheel.

  12. Just learned Siakam is currently in a 0-11 run against the Celtics 💀

  13. PeanutButterOtter

    This game is gonna do horrible ratings.

  14. i’m thinking we start sheppard at the 2 and move nembhard at the 1, we need mcconnell off the bench for PG minutes.

  15. Cold_Potato

    Why the fuck does this game need to start at 830 when the west coast game tomorrow night starts at 8?

    Absolutely ridiculous. Pls consider my bed time moving forward. 

  16. small_root

    IT’S A FUCKING SATURDAY. WHY THE FUCK IS THIS GAME ON AT 8:30?

    AND WHY IS THE GAME TOMORROW AT 8PM?

    I hate Adam Silver so god damn much. Fuck you, you money hungry piece of shit. Is the money from al the gambling sites not enough? You got to nickle and dime these time slots for primo ads?

  17. UCLA_FB_SUCKS

    It would of been fantastic if Chris Paul was introduced as “generational asshole Chris Paul”

  18. Either this is a T.J. McConnell legacy game or this series is over

  19. Svettie323

    The East has produced some banger matchups these playoffs:

    Celtics vs Heat with no Jimmy

    Pacers vs Bucks with no Giannis & Dame

    Sixers vs Knicks with no Randle

    Celtics vs Cavs with no Mitchell

    Pacers vs Knicks with no Randle & OG

    Celtics vs Pacers with no Hali

  20. WayOk2354

    The one game I saw at the Garden this year was us against a Hali-less Pacers. Hoping for similar results

  21. Watch this game be inexplicably close the entire way through

  22. Ok_Acanthaceae6057

    Pacers are undefeated at home in the playoffs

    Boston are undefeated on the road in the playoffs

    Someone’s streak will end tonight!!!

  23. waffle-spouse

    I’ve got Pacers in 6 after the Hali injury. I think Siakam getting the ball more is actually an unexpected windfall for Indiana. What about everyone else?

  24. international510

    Myles Turner needs to have a monster game to make up for Gm 2, otherwise the Pacers have no chance. He was completely x’d out by the Celts. Siakam’s gonna do Siakam things, but it’ll be easier for the Celts to focus on him since Hali is out.

    Let’s hope the Celts don’t take them lightly.

  25. first time this season where we have 5 good defenders starting?

  26. One thing I’m excited for when it comes to NBC getting the NBA back: the return of 5/5:30 EST national tv games.

    That was the PERFECT time slot.

  27. FistPunch_Vol_7

    Background noise while we continue grilling. Maybe it will be insane

  28. The last time the Celtics played the Pacers without Haliburton it was a 51 point blowout
