[@zolt4280]

You can't lose like that Pacers. Gentlemen sweep!

[@jojopailagaoakut3019]

The Pacers inexperience (turnovers during crucial moments, sudden indecisiveness) coupled with big-time plays from JB and Tatum - handed the Celtics the game. Not putting a bigger guy on Tatum in the extra period was costly, resulting in a pair of 3s from Tatum. If the Pacers can keep their turnovers to a minimum (below 10) next game and consistently keep their frenetic work rate the whole game, we have a series on our hands. This will not be a cake-walk for the Celtics like everyone thought it would.

[@Healthy424]

Pacers aren’t a good team, up three and can’t get the ball in is embarrassing.

[@vipaccess-puertorico4462]

How can the Pacers players can look themselves in the mirror after making two crucial turn overs in the last 57 seconds in regulation in a game they're winning and then lost in OT.

[@JohnnySack16]

The pacers shot the best offense they ever will.. lol

[@gregoryevans8179]

Pacers tend to make mistakes at crucial times in games, after they look great. Why they didn’t call TO when they were having trouble inbounding that ball is inexcusable and not fouling before Brown makes that 3 same thing.

[@mrb401]

They didnt steal it. They earned this win. Lets be real, Celtics made plenty of mistakes throughout this game. Was it the jb 3 to go into ot? Jrue on Haliburton forcing him to lose the ball out of bounds? JB blanket d on Siakam on the inbound? Maybe call a to with 10 sec left and up 3 w the ball. Mike Breen even said you still have a TO if you cant get it in. Nembhard throws it in lol. Couldve wouldve shouldve.

If Pozingis comes back this series, Haliburton will feast on his poor pick and roll defense. I think they should keep Porzingis on the bench.

[@marcelmarshall4240]

Haliburton can’t dribble or create shots. He lost them that game. He is overrated like most of the NBA. They face no defense all season so they compile empty stats….but as SOON as they face REAL defense, they choke up…like Haliburton.

[@donaldshotts4429]

Pacers screwed it up but cant overlook home cooking. Brown holds Siakum clearly but foul on Siakum on a rebound then he pulled jersey again on the turnover with :10 left no call. I guess Boston doesn't foul looking wt free throw totals? Bs

The Knicks had a whole team injured and almost won the series. The Pacers aren't that good a team and were very lucky to reach the conf. finals. The Celtics, on the other hand, are extremely unreliable, especially without Porzingis. So I imagine this being an unnecessarily long series, with the Celtics winning in 6 or 7. Whoever comes out of the East won't be able to win the finals, anyway. The two best teams at this point are in the West.

Neither team from the west is reliable.

[@comradeyellow6781]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Celtics have NO coaching staff. The only way the Pacers are a dangerous team is playing fast paced, and the Celtics literally played in their hands by going fast paced. Has anyone at least bothered to watch the Pacers against the Bucks or the Knicks? Didn't they see how much the Pacers struggled when the game slows down? Umbelievable.
