You can't "steal" a game you were favored to win.

Coach should've called a time out when Nembhard was throwing the ball in bounds. Nuff said. No body was open. No need to force it. Plus nembhard was injured so should've had someone else throwing the ball in anyways.

Totally agree!. Nemhard really should not have been the one inbounding the ball. He doesn't seem to process well. The last thing he should have done is throw the ball to Siakam. The timeout was the right call.

Indy really dropped the ball on this one. As great as Horford is this the Celtics will be considerably better when Porzingis returns. He moves much better laterally than Al so Turner won't have as many open opportunities and can't be hunted on switches with Halliburton/Nembhard as easily.

That explanation of the twirl was great, what a creative play. I thought there were many mistakes by both teams during the game - great teams pull off the wins when they need them.

What’s the source for the Haliburton turnover frequency stats?

Excellent breakdown!

underrated channel... such in depth breakdown.

Excellent breakdown as always

well broken down coach!|

Can’t understand how a NBA team doesn’t have a play to get the ball inbounds….😮

Because a play only works when defense give you such option. When they deny the planned option, you’re left with your player in game reaction and judgement.

What can you say about Tatum?

My hope is that the C’s internalize this game as a loss bc they got outplayed for critical parts of the game… they usually respond well to a loss and I think it’s in their interest to use this game as a wake up that if they want to win it all they’re going to have to bring it for 48 minutes every other night, no matter what.

Celtics break down the moment Tatum sits

9:27 I actually do think this was a foul lol

*how Indi CHOKED Game 1 Even with the poor late game execution, this one wouldn’t of been close without Indi having so many turnovers

No. A win is not anybody's property. You may like how a teams play or not. But nobody steals a win. The Pacers were not able to win. Full stop.

Unfortunately, as a Boston fan, we can't play like this against Minnesota. The Wolves' defense will eat us alive on the inside and throughout the perimeter. They are lengthy and athletic, which is exactly what we struggle with. We need tingus pingus back ASAP

i do not think Celtics stole the game, it was given to them. They will go fishing soon.

As soon as Porzingas comes back it’s not a series anymore….

Good job talking about the main possessions. But don't by scared about talking about the bad officiated ones especially the brown push on siakim with 10secs left in the 4th and the egregious miss of the Pritchard hack on Haliburton. In close game having a two or 3 call stack compounding for one team does deserve to be broken down. It wasn't as bad as game one at Madison Square Garden last series but I think the pacers might feel the same way as the start at this series

Celtics didn’t steal anything. They sucked at their defense. Horford was left there to dry just like a year ago. As Rick said, he fucked up the final minute. Simple as that.
