The Pacers coach had the Wrong Lineup in and the Wrong person making the inbound pass. The rest is history.

[@Killa2535]

As a Wolves fan I agree. He did the same thing against the Knicks but finally made the obvious corrections, you’d think he’d be more prepared since you really can’t eff around with games against Boston.

[@Ben77788]

Yeah, Nembhard should not have been in there. Tyrese and TJ should’ve been receiving the inbounds pass. TJ especially, since he’s the best pure ball handler on the team. Siakam/Turner/Toppen or whoever should’ve been making the inbounds pass. After 3 seconds, Rick should’ve called TO without hesitation. He should not have left that on his players.

[@jarydfye3909]

Not to mention we went super small once Aaron fouled out

[@ks1ngh27]

It’s hilarious the pacers wore the Reggie miller choke shirt end of Knicks series, yet they choke next game against the Celtics.

Don't think the franchise has ever thrown a game like that.

[@Uhuru_Askari]

The Pacers were up by like 18 points against the Cavs in a game 7, I beg to differ.

[@masstarvation]

I lost it when he said "Jeyy Teyy" and did the eurostep :P

[@KDLS1995]

To be fair when it comes to the free throws, Boston took 3s and layups, Indy took 3s and mid range jumpers. I mean every foul shot they got outside of the 3 by Haliburton was from actually getting to the rim lol.

[@remy12]

I saw some obvious fouls they didn't blow the whistle. One on Haliburton where the dude chopped his arm on a layup, even the announcers said something and they showed the replay.

[@Johnnybones1]

@@remy12if you’re talking about the Pritchard chop on Halliburton, after looking at the replay yes it is a foul but in that moment, he does touch the ball first so it’s a hard call to make in the moment.

[@remy12]

@@Johnnybones1 You can sugarcoat it all you want, it was an obvious hard foul, the ref was standing right there. The Pacers didn't get their first free throw until 3 minutes left in regulation, 4th quarter.

[@KDLS1995]

@remy12 I mean I get that but it was just they weren't getting fouled shooting jumpsuits. They only had 8 more personal fouls than the Celtics even though they played 3 more people. They just committed shooting fouls and the Celtics did more reach in and loose ball fouls.

[@poohweezyify]

Git gud ​@@remy12

[@behtashbahador6588]

FT difference: Cs #1 least fouls this season. Not fouling is part of the defensive strategy

[@TanisHalf-Elven]

A 5 point loss is worse than losing by 30 to the ICU Knicks? Nah..... Pacers good

[@KV-rg9co]

This is good for the NBA end for the basketball in general when you have Indiana and Minnesota teams playing in conference finals

[@josebillyb.a.8128]

People are leaving out that a Celtics fan that loves the team knows Indiana plays good against us , same could be said about the Hawks , last night was not surprising

[@DonIzNice1804]

The Celtics committed the second least fouls in the regular season, while the Pacers committed the most in the entire league. That explains the discrepancy in falls in this past game. The Celtics for the most part do a decent job and not fouling out in the paces foul left and right

[@nickmay6803]

I think them losing this game will cost them the chance to win this series

[@Jonathan-gk6se]

Probably true, but everyone was already expecting a 4 or 5 games series. Either way if the games keep being that competitive it's good for basketball fans.

[@ronaldluc7740]

I still can not believe how pacers blew that game. Someone please explain to me what in the world Siakam was thinking.

[@MikeKelsoJr]

Man I’ve never seen anything like that !! I hope Indiana can win game 2 !? I hope this doesn’t devastate the Pacers ?

[@donvolio4089]

I’ll never understand why teams only put 2 guys near the ball in an obvious “inbound securely and win” situation

[@Jonathan-gk6se]

Just throw to the guy that horford is guarding 😢😢

[@mattyung8448]

Let it be the other way around it would’ve been oh the Celtics failed the Celtics sold we win and now it’s the pacers should’ve and could’ve win so what was stopping them

[@Uhuru_Askari]

So we blow it and we're getting screwed, great. So true, bro says exactly how a lot of us Pacers fans feel.

[@blakefrancisboggs7526]

Indy was up by 3, inbounded the ball with 31 seconds left. Why are they rushing?? That made no sense to me.

[@johnathancena5067]

left out how the pacers are the most foul heavy team in the league and the 21 pacer turnovers lol

[@heyb6268]

[@michaelbergeron2332]

Pacers fouled, Celtics didn’t (besides the one on Hali near the end)

[@tparker7383]

You sound like LeBron James now...."I guess they fouled and we didn't "

The front office did good job excellent job putting this young team together I'm telling you in this off-season they only need one more experienced veteran player for big games.

[@KV-rg9co]

This pacers team is ready for playing for championship in next 2-5 years. They only need one more veteran player for this kind of type of games

[@IaMmAchInE21]

Game 2 is now a must win for the Celtics. If they go up 2-0 and can comfortably rest Porzingiz for the Finals, Banner 18 incoming.

[@therealbeckboy5325]

[@Thadon36]

Game 2 is wraps, pacers are winning. All they gotta do is clear up the turnovers & small adjustments, they win by 15+

[@marckusduverger9776]

I think they might want Porzingis to play a little (just a little) before the Finals, it’s tough to miss most of the playoffs & then get thrown into the Finals with that intensity.

[@masongreen1371]

Game 2 is not a must win.

[@JWest-so8ok]

McConnell vs Pritchard, One on One for game 2. First one to 51.

[@macmillysoanti4357]

Ppl love fast pace and step back threes but then complain when they don’t shoot free throws 😂. As a Celtic fan you would know it’s usually US without the free throws , we don’t care

[@EmmanuelAniTheSchism]

Let's be honest, the pacers fumbled, but in reality Boston shot worse from 3-point land than they normally do. Given that they also took 30 free throws, I think Indy has a defensive problem when they drive, which will eventually open up the three-point land for Boston. Boston will adjust and indy won't win another game I hope

[@RobertDobert-ey8mh]

indy is typically a low turnover team, 21 of the celtics points came off turnovers. That won't happen again

[@EmmanuelAniTheSchism]

@@RobertDobert-ey8mh even then, that still means Boston wins. If they shoot 40% or even average this playoffs (~37%) from three, plus the would they were generating in drives, it can prove to be too much to handle. I think they need to sort out themselves defensively and bet even better but yeah

[@riffsthatkill2180]

​@@RobertDobert-ey8mhthey also don't typically have their primary ball handler matches up against Jrue holiday or Derrick white most games, so the turnovers should be looked at in that context. Given that Indy has to face the same defense for 7 games, I would definitely expect to see them have higher than normal turnovers

[@RobertDobert-ey8mh]

@@riffsthatkill2180 but a lot of their turnovers had nothing to do with the defense, they were just throwing the ball out of bounds or dribbling it off their legs. so I don't think the defense was entirely the problem

[@RobertDobert-ey8mh]

@@EmmanuelAniTheSchism not really cause they only average 12 tos a game, and they had 22 this game. so if they go back to their average boston's points get cut by a significant margin this game and aren't even in a position to tie it at the end

[@croc313]

They went almost 3 quarters without shooting a free throw 🤔

[@ChicagoDefense]

Hulu definitely ain’t 15 secs ahead. Its atleast 30 secs behind

[@DerrickJohnson-hl2iu]

The thumbnail is crazy

[@tinatringali6529]

Halliburton ruined the game for the Pacers to win and not have to go to overtime with his bad decision at the end of the game By going for a 3 point shot and missing it which he didn't need for the Pacers to win the game. All he had to do was make a 2 point shot by going right up to the basket with the ball and if he couldn't get the 2 point shot then just get the foul have the Celtics foul him to go to the free throw line to win the game by 2 points or 1 point. 1 point is all the Pacers needed to win the game since the Celtics tied the game towards the end of the game. Don't know what Halliburton was thinking going for the 3 point shot and missing it instead of going for a 2 point shot right up at the basket😩

[@bmont170]

They like to bring up free throw but what about the 21 turnovers that led to 32 Boston points.

[@ashokathegreat4534]

Game 2 is a must win for Indiana or else it’s season over

[@iguesss]

Jaylen Brown is the Celtics best player

[@jordanblarson]

Brown is a terrible three point and free throw shooter for a shooting guard. He's not better than Tatum.

[@FreshMatic]

Pacers have a better team, just bad coaching. Now that haliburton is out for game 3 the season is over.
