I think it's just because we've watched this celtics team in its different iterations do this for the last 3 years. For whatever reason, they just do this. They get big leads and squander them. The play clunky and seemingly half asleep. You can basically count on them not showing up to at least one game a series. They had the sweep on the Brooklyn Nets 2 years ago, the year they went to the finals. Otherwise it's been weird. On their finals run, they basically lost to the Heat except Jimmy took the three and missed in game seven. Last year they dropped two to the hawks and let a 76ers team without Embiid win the first game and then take them to seven. They dropped three in a row to the Heat and then won three in a row, only for JT to roll his ankle and then basically give up. This year they let a cavs team without Donovan Mitchell hang around, though they did finish them off in both games he was out. They dropped a game at home to an 8-seed Heat without Jimmy Butler. It wasn't because the Heat set a franchise record for 3s, it was because they just stopped closing out for no apparent reason. Time and time again this team loses games and then responds by dismantling their opponent. And then loses again. And repeats. That's not Xs and Os, that's not talent, that's just...dumb shit. This team, like no other, just does dumb shit sometimes. No other way to explain it.

Tucker, they weren’t flat. The other team played well. Give the other team credit without giving the Celtics shade. Quit acting like Boston hasn’t beaten both of those teams in the West.

Cs need to figure out how to play without JT on the floor

Missed their chance? This game showed me this series should be very competitive and fun to watch. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes 6-7 games at all.

My only gripe with this video/take is that while these 4 conference finals teams certainly played injured teams, the Celtics are easily the most 'injured' team left in the playoffs, even if it's only one player. It seems like the only notable injuries on the remaining teams are Mathurin and Porzingis and KP just simply brings more value. Not knocking Mathurin who was awesome last year

Last year Marcus Smart would have been hoisting up bonehead threes and blowing the game in the end.

you sound like a celtics hater here. its a bunch of compliments for the losing team and just tons of shade towards the winning team. like why arent we devoting at least 10s complimenting the celtics execution in the clutch? or how they are beating a healthy team while missing their 3rd star? you sounded like all the other national media just moving goalposts for the celtics, refusing to give them credit/praise and thinking they should win is a foregone conclusion (which takes away the actual praise when they do win).

Respectfully, I’m more afraid of Indy than Minnesota or Dallas. Western Conference lacks the playoff experience, and Boston is a great defensive team as well, but Indiana has an all-time level offense, points matter the most and when they shoot 60% it makes it more pertinent to be perfect

Agree with your takes!! Very true

Kornet and horford were getting exposed last night by turner and siakim. Would love to see how tillman matches up to those guys.

Funniest part of all this is the showboating and taunting that Halliburton was doing…. Just to fumble the ball away in crunch time… Karma moved quick this go-round.

Jayson Tatum had more free throws than the entire Pacers team. It's actually funny how much he gets superstar foul calls for him at home. It's been like that every time I tuned into a Boston game. Indiana did have some bonehead turnovers, like why is Obi Toppin doing isolation dribble moves with the game ending soon? Why didn't they just inbound it into the frontcourt on their second to last possession? Worst case is a steal and Boston would have to run the floor with what I think was 11 seconds or so left and then you can actually set a defense on a transition 3, but there's also the case of them not expecting that and you get a good inbound. Why did they go Haliburton when it was clear nerves were affecting him late-game. Should've gone Siakim who was automatic from the free throw line. Hell, I would've rather had Hali pass to the guy (I forgot who) next to him who did not have Tatum on him... I just hope this doesn't absolutely kill their morale. I can smell a sweep, but I hope I'm wrong, I like watching the Pacers play.

I don't case Porzingis is hurt, but who is hurt on Indy?

7:50 Do you know what comes after someone says "No Dissresepect claim" ??? *"DISSRESEPCT"* (Charles Barkley 2024)

Indiana was better than Boston in this game. they have been the entire year when they matchup with each other. however, a 30-10 free throw disparity and two clear missed fouls in the finals 10+ seconds of the game is what cost them the game, not the fact they didn't call a timeout. If they did, yes they probably would've won anyways, but Jaylen Brown fouled Siakam twice on the inbound pass, which led to the outofbounds on Siakam. You cannot miss that. The refs have clearly screwed this for Indiana and its not even close.

While I understand that the Celtics had an amazing regular season, I don't agree with holding them to a higher standard. They're a contender just like the other teams even though they're expected to advance to the finals.
