Reggie Miller Breaks Down The Pacers Devastating Game 1 Loss To The Celtics | 5/22/24

Turner Sports NBA analyst Reggie Miller joins the Dan Patrick Show and discusses the Indiana Pacers devastating game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals

[@peterwoodaman5936]

The Celtics are not fully healthy. I’ve heard that theory like 50 times day.. as long as porzongis isn’t active the Celtics are down a major piece to their team. Period.

[@brandonthomas4175]

Yes they are healthy!

[@tatumwebb1543]

The Pacers aren't fully healthy either, lol.

[@MattSwift1988]

​@@tatumwebb1543 both have people out, but KP makes a MUCH bigger difference than Mathurin.

[@Braylenc123]

mathruin is more important to the pacers than porzingis is to the celtics… call me crazy but it’s true and numbers don’t lie

[@Braylenc123]

@@MattSwift1988no he doesn’t, mathruin is the only player on the pacers that can get a bucket and to the line when the game slows, besides siakam occasionally in the post… they were 20-3 when he scored atleast 15

[@Ross5252jkvdd]

😂😂😂😂 a reggie led team didnt do anything

[@Jive33]

He didn’t win a title, but his teams were always relevant.

[@carlfrye1566]

They need better coaching at the end to tell Haliburton not to take bad shots or turn the ball over. Siakham getting his jersey grabbed so he couldn't separate on the inbound play turnover was beyond their control. Letting the tying 3 point shot was terrible defense, he was allowed to take 2 seconds to get the ball and set himself before going up for the shot....plenty of time to foul. They certainly threw thst game away.

[@marloninquirer]

freethrow discrepancy didnt help either imagine gifting them more than 20 freethrows when pacers could only get 8 in the whole ball game

[@ricsarmiento661]

REGGIE MILLER is on point. ENDGAMES, where pressure is at it's peak, is the most crucial part, especially in a close BIG GAME. The TEAM/PLAYERS who are focused, confident, can negate pressure with mental toughness/strong will to win, maintains composure, will be able to execute their OFFENSE and DEFENSIVE SCHEMES, and WIN the GAME. PACERS made a SERIES of MISTAKES. RICK CARLISLE didn't call a timeout. HALIBURTON choked and made a turnover. Then, he made a crucial turnover on a terrible inbound pass. That's a WON GAME and THEY LOST IT.

[@79glane928]

Hes right you just cant give games away to good teams. Now theyd have to win 4 out of 6 to a team that probably hasnt lost 4 out if 6 all year. Huge loss.

[@robertl8429]

This is the Halliburton Pacers' first year getting this far. This is the Celtic's 5th time or so in the 2nd round and beyond. So if the Pacers of this year went against Tatum's Celtics of his 1st or 2nd trip to the playoffs, Pacers would have won. But the Pacers don't have the steel and experience that the Celtics do. They are 4-5 Playoff chances from Boston's experience. Hence the nerves and choking. IF the Halliburton led Pacer's do this in Playoff attempt 3, 4, and 5 in future years then yes they are ultimate chokers. But sadly they gotta go through these growing pains. When did any champs do it in their 1st iteration in big run number 1?

[@genarogilormino2139]

I'd love to see the Pacers get swept.😂The Knicks were the hobbling walking wounded and it took Indiana to beat them in 7 games. They blew leads against NY in games 1 and 2 and got their doors blown off in game 5 against a very short handed Knicks team 😂
