[Law Murray] The Pacers failed to score in the last 3:33 of Game 4 This comes after the Pacers made only one field goal in the last 2:38 of Game 3, failing to protect an 8-point lead And of course the malpractice at the end of regulation in Game 1

    Watching Pacers offence in the clutch after watching dallas offence in the clutch is soul crushing

  2. QueasyEntrance6269

    Boston Celtics, clutch time merchants, as we all knew

  3. IcyMission3

    The last 3 minutes of basketball I watched was the equivalent of TikTok brain rot

  4. KrustyKrabPizzaMan

    Hate to say it but I’m sad the Knicks got hurt cause a fully healthy Knicks squad would’ve put up a stronger fight against the Celtics

  5. Noriskhook3

    They couldn’t hit a bucket for a damn thing, they were just giving the ball to the Celtics lol

  6. MoneyMike312

    The Pacers are ahead of schedule and played the Celtics right in 3 of 4 games. Still sucks, but should be better next year.

    This series was over the moment Brown tied it in Game 1

  8. CheekyFifaCunt_7

    So rough for the pacers. They should’ve won at least 2 games but they were just so poor during the late moments. Lack of experience showed.

  9. crimsonconnect

    Kyrie and Luka are averaging like 19 in the fourf good luck in the finals

  10. New_Essay_4869

    They will be back. Add another year of Siakam with a healthy Haliburton and bring back Mathurin and theyre contenders

  11. Elite_Alice

    The pacers might be the dumbest team I’ve ever seen tbh. So many stupid turnovers, running around like a chicken with its head cut off etc. for siakam to be a champion he did some stupid shit as well.

  12. thy_armageddon

    Did Rick remember to tell them they were preparing the trophy? Maybe that would’ve helped.

  13. BananaStandBaller

    Celtics defense is a wagon when it’s winning time

  14. fuzzynavel34

    It’s a young team and this group’s first trip to the playoffs. There will be growing pains. Unfortunate growing pains but boy were they there in this series.

  15. This is the most mind blowing sweep I can remember watching considering how close the games were. Just kept snatching victory from the jaws of defeat against an insanely good offense.

  16. Call_Me_Rambo

    There is an alternate timeline where the Pacers hold onto their leads and are up 3-1

  17. Not just the offense, the amount of miscommunication on defense was diabolical. They pretty much quadruple teamed Brown on that White three at the end

  18. PeanutButterOtter

    Teams have to learn the hard way how to win this deep in the playoffs. Indiana and Minnesota found that out.

  19. Very streaky team. There were times when they’d hit the most ridiculous shots and just could not miss. Then they’d have stretches where they couldn’t hit anything and and their offense looked completely discombobulated.

  20. GhastlyEyeJewel

    If NBA games were only 47 minutes long Pacers would be up 3-1 right now.

  21. JeremyJammDDS

    This is like the WCF, Boston and Dallas have closers.

  22. When your best player doesn’t play this is kind of what happens.

  23. ILoveRegenHealth

    And the Pacers fans keep blaming the refs or the coach or Doris Burke for their losses.

    It’s the players who can’t handle pressure, suddenly picking the WORST TIME to go cold offensively, and make stupid TOs (today, Nemhard made the same foulup he did before, driving hard into the paint and getting stripped in last 2 minutes)

  24. Puppetmaster858

    Honestly they should be up 3-1 right now if they could even remotely get execute in the clutch to close these games

  25. LoWE11053211

    I think this will be the closest sweep of this year. Unless mavs sweep wolves tomorrow

  26. Friendly-Profit-8590

    Watching the game it felt like all the others where Indiana was definitely in the game but there was zero sense of what their offensive scheme was outside of individual players just taking shots. That and seeing Toppin out there for as long as he was doing nothing on offense and less on defense made me wonder wtf Indiana was doing.

  27. This is the most brain-dead performance in the clutch I’ve watched in my entire life. And it’s for the entire series.

    Rick Carlisle sold and choked so hard.

  28. CosmicCoder3303

    Once Boston ratcheted up the defense, they just couldn’t score at the end of games. That’s more a function of Boston being awesome and the Pacers having really no elite scorers, then things such as bad coaching or execution or any other silliness like that.

  29. netassetvalue93

    So much hate for the Pacers and not enough credit for the Cs defense. They really lock in during crunch time.

  30. Can someone explain to me like I am 3 why they don’t post Pascal Siakam in the last 3 mins? The only think I can suggest is that his moves don’t work late in game cause he’s tired? Dude was money every game I watched.

  31. Kinda crazy that in an alternate universe the Pacers could have been up 3-1 in the series xD

  32. imaginaryResources

    I like how towards the end the pacers kept pushing the ball wildly in transition directly into traffic with no help multiple times resulting in turnovers and bad shots.

    Then the one time the point guard waited for the offense to get set in transition and found an open man for a 3 which he made, Carlisle finally decided to call a timeout so the shot didn’t count. Then the play that Carlisle drew up from the timeout was a 1 on 4 iso drive recklessly into traffic that resulted in a block

  33. MadBackwoods

    Well they did not had their main offense guy what yall expect from them lol
