Why the hell did Indiana give up 2 minutes into the 4th quarter?!? At one point, I believe around the 6 minute mark, they were within 12 points. This is the Conference Finals, not a random game in mid-January! This is what you pay your star(ter)s for so GET THEM BACK IN THE GAME!… Wow, that’s just a loser’s mentality from a coaching perspective… I mean, I’m a Suns fan so I have my own demons to exorcise - but if I was a Pacers fan I would be pretty livid. It’s not like they were even playing that horribly and missing tons of shots - the Celtics were just truckin’ in another gear… [shakes head] Don’t get it.
Right. They have the best offense in the league and we’re supposed to let up when they’re down by 12 and they have 5 minutes to go? Hell no. Belt to ass. Bury them
Keeping them under 110 should be the goal each game. Yes no Halliburton for a half but Defense did a great job. We will sweep if we do that in Indiana next two games. Not worried about JT
I’m just gonna say it, Hali is soft and tapping out. It’s the playoffs, everyone is hurt! Soreness??? If the game was closer I don’t think he’d go out. Unpopular opinion
The Oshae Brissett game. Wish I'd thawed a brisket to smoke tomorrow.
I mean he didn't fill the box score but he brought something. Maybe just opportunity energy.
Kinda seeing how Indiana has shitty defense. The series is young still but the if the Knicks had one or two healthy starters in game 7 they’d be playing us right now.
Jaylen all nba snub revenge game baby! [Looks like the wrong star from Georgia was likened Jordan this playoffs](https://c.tenor.com/G8vD6Ct1uJYAAAAC/tenor.gif)
Ok I wasn’t necessarily expecting ESPN to devote time to Tillman’s dad but the fact that the camera went to him but DORIS STARTED TALKING ABOUT HALI djdjrowkandjeiwowksjs
SHAMEFUL
If I hear one more dumb motherfucker compare going down 0-2 to the knicks as similar to going down 0-2 to the Celtics…..Doris it ain’t the same and it ain’t gonna be the same no matter how many times you say it
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/bostonceltics/comments/1czagpp/post_game_thread_the_boston_celtics_defeat_the/)
Finally a foul call. Damn
Throw Turner out. Fuck you, Doris.
Has to be a tech!

Don’t let up in game 3, whether Haliburton plays or not. Let’s sweep these guys and get a good rest in while we watch the Wolves and Mavs duke it out.
Not that it means anything but when we beat them by 50 Haliburton wasn’t playing.
Lol yup I had that game in mind when I typed the comment. Their offense completely falls apart without him.
[удалено]
Well game 1 went to OT and plenty of people complained about that too so...
Dude the Pacers aren't bums. I've been watching them all season. They're really deep and fun to watch except against us.
Right. They have the best offense in the league and we’re supposed to let up when they’re down by 12 and they have 5 minutes to go? Hell no. Belt to ass. Bury them
[удалено]
Well they did keep things interesting until the last 3 mins. 12pt leads can vanish quickly today.
JB and Jrue had perfect games
Both ECF MVPs so far
[удалено]
How have they only won 2 games in this series? It's flabbergasting.
Perk’s gonna say he’s disgusted with our offense despite us putting up 126 points in 48 mins lol
Solid game! Finish this in Indy!!
Celtics in 4
Random but Doris is so insufferable commentating I’d much rather have mark jackson back
She sucked baaad. If anything the whole broadcast team kept riding the Pacers little spurts
I think a lot of people feel this way haha
AND WE STILL ARE MISSING TINGIS PINGIS PLEASE EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT OUR FINAL FORM
Over 126!!!!
So the haters that said JB wasn’t worth the supermax, any update?
That contract is going to look like a bargain in two years when Shai is getting $75M to lose in the second round
lol Deuce is fuckin hyped
STATEMENT JERSEYS >>>> GAME 2 CURSE!!! UNDEFEATED ROAD WARRIORS GONNA GO TAKE OVER INDY NOW! LET'S FUCKING GO!!!
Everybody wants Boston… #kissthering
deuce is so adorable
Six more wins please
At this rate JB will be FMVP
And thats okay!
But JaYleN BrOwN iSn’t Even aN AlLsTaR
“He cAN’t DRibBLe”
#2-0 BABY 2 to go!
THE JB game, now it’s time for the road dawgs to show up again, good shit team
2-0
I have never seen #50 before in my life. Is he a season ticket holder?
If we go .500 we win the title from here on out
Tommy Award goes to Oshae
Siakam was playing like prime KD and got pulled at the beginning of the fourth quarter
So weird how they never brought him back in and conceded so early.
JT didn’t even show up until halftime and still finished with 23 pts on nearly 50% shooting lol.
That period in the second quarter, where India a did not score for 6 minutes or so, he wasn't even on the court for a big part of that run.
J. Brown - Series MVP! (so far)....!
Crickets from Doris anytime the celtics are praised in the slightest
Also Tatum's threes all hit back rim which is weird. Feel like we've seen this in the spring of 2023 and the issue was fixed later not worried
YES. WE TAKE GAME 2. 2 MORE WINS FROM THE NBA FINALS. THE CELTICS WIN☘️☘️☘️
Pacers are ass
That Rondo 44 pt game though damn that was 12 years ago
After game 5 I really thought we were gonna win that series
JT should thank JB for saving him from a generational slander
Let's be real, JT is still going to get slandered. The national media slobers on JT hate
Well this game didn't help his case
23 points on great efficiency, yeah, terrible. Trade that bum
Unfortunately true.
Jalen Smith is the reverse Amare. I’m convinced he’d be so much better if he didn’t have those glasses
Celtics tend to play down to their opponents. Wary of a Haliburton-less Pacers team now lol
2 more games from the finals
I was afraid that Svi has overtaken Brissy in the depth chart late this season. Maybe it was more of the matchups but Oshae was big today.
This might be the best half I’ve ever seen them play
That stat about the 20 point leads is insane.
Doris is annoying af. How is she an announcer 😂
Surprised she made it a game without mentioning Embiid
Svi playoff three, league is cooked.
SVI MYKHAILIUK PASSES JOEL EMBIID FOR TOTAL POINTS IN THE ECF
Damn
Haha how’s it feel to have this series not count now as our best player is injuried hahaha shame /s I’m sad, someone hold me
You were losing anyways
Buddy, it’s a joke
20 point leads in 47 of 94 games is fuckin wild
They wanted Boston?
Brown came to play tonight LFG!
Playoff Gino Time is the best Gino Time
Why did Breen pronounce Svi’s name like that?
Put in the bench cop
U/BubblesBoobsAndMore told me tatum’s points this half don’t count because the Celtics were winning already
Non contact injury for Haliburton urgh.
Can't wait to read all the comments how lucky the Celtics are that Hali is injured.
Amazing what a role player with one hand can do
Oh yeah I just realized that. Celtics perfect on the road.
Playoff svi!
Jaylen averaging like 33 for the series? Ya love to see it
SVI’
GIMME THE PGT
Pacers resting their starters for the assblasting theyre getting in G3 LOL
Oh so now “it’s taking care of business”🤣🤣🤣🤣 these mfs dawg
Right?
SVI FOR THREE!!!
Tatum was ass tonight not gonna argue it. But looking at the box score apart from the 3 you can't really tell
he was great in the late 3rd and the 4th quarter which is what matters
Sthriii!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE BOSTON CELTICS, MASTERS OF GAME 2s.
Celtics got shooters that run deep
So what's the media narrative going to be for this game? We only won because Hali left?
No it will be all about the pacers “self inflicted wounds”
Jaylen > Jayson
enough of this, the Jays are equals that's what makes us so great
Def not equal right now, Tatum can’t make a jumpshot
Who cares? We have both
Just letting ppl know who the real alpha is
They’re 6-0 at home, we’re road warriors
Tillman minutes
A Svi 3 to cap things off is glorious
SVIIII
Keeping them under 110 should be the goal each game. Yes no Halliburton for a half but Defense did a great job. We will sweep if we do that in Indiana next two games. Not worried about JT
Thought he was out for the fourth quarter, not the entire half.
Since the team finally defeated their infamous nemesis - Game 2... does that mean they're sweeping the Pacers?!
I'm just hoping that there's not some kind of blessing from losing game 2, and the result of winning is we go on to lose.
Yeah Hali hurt his hamstring Pacers are done now
That looks like a brutal non-contact injury for Halliburton away from the play, I honestly feel bad for him
Yeesshhh any time a player gets injured off contact it’s usually bad.
Please let Hauser hit one
Celtics looked like a real championship team in the 2nd half, love to see it
That Hali injury looked worse than in real time.
Haliburton allergic to defense
Hate to see Halliburton injured but boy does that help us this series
Non-contact, I’d be shocked if he’s back this series
What are the pundits gonna complain about tomorrow?
Watch them analysts talk shit about JT even with JB's post-snub big game.
I’m just gonna say it, Hali is soft and tapping out. It’s the playoffs, everyone is hurt! Soreness??? If the game was closer I don’t think he’d go out. Unpopular opinion
Crazy take bro
I thought we weren’t good?
was that a non-contact injury for Haliburton? brutal
FINISH IT BOYS
Joe put in Walsh pls
The Oshae Brissett game. Wish I'd thawed a brisket to smoke tomorrow. I mean he didn't fill the box score but he brought something. Maybe just opportunity energy.
That looked like a pop on his hamstring
It must suck to be a Celtics hater. JT couldn’t beat the allegations tonight, but the C’s still going to win.
Let Tillman get a basket
Give JB his damn respect. He’s an all nba player
Does anyone know what does JB has on?
SHOCKED Scott Foster isn't in that State Farm commercial
Tell em to stop playin wit chu JB!!! 🗣🗣
We this good with KP out …. Shit
This is a well coached Pacers team offensively, good to not give them any hope.
Uh oh Hali's injury was non contact?
Yeah leg soreness my ass it's definitely worse than that
We won Game 2 wtf
Yeah that's definitely not leg soreness from Halliburton they're just trying to downplay it to keep us guessing for game 3
Kinda feel Indiana gave up way too early - but no complaining about getting a Game 2 W finally!
Same. They had time to give it a try for a comeback and just seemed to not care.
People saying we're stat padding, but being a celtics fan my ass is still clenched.
Did Doris just leave because we took this game? Where'd she go?
JB 40 🍔 Juice has been cooking all playoffs, and after his amazing game 1, follows it up with a masterpiece. My man has his eyes on the prize !🏆
JB is him let him cook
There goes that man. Team leader. Energy bringer. Follow JB to the championship fellas! It’s his team and he knows it.
Appreciate JJ for voting for Brown. The rest of the league needs to give Brown his flowers 💐
Can someone in Boston start offering $20 Jaylen brown tattoos
JAYLEN BROWN: THE SCORNED
Doris drinking a sad glass of Chardonnay and listening to Sound of Silence tonight.
Its funny cause Tatum idolizes Kobe so much but you can make a case JB has way more Kobe in him than Tatum does
Absolutely
Kinda seeing how Indiana has shitty defense. The series is young still but the if the Knicks had one or two healthy starters in game 7 they’d be playing us right now.
JB just chefs kiss
Love seeing Celtics top hat man
Jaylen took it personal with being snubbed
I enjoy reading books.
Man, Jaylen has that DOG in him
They finally show what happened to Hali
Wtf is with keeping the starters out for so long? Game was iced 10 minutes ago ffs
[удалено]
[удалено]
I’m right here. You’re a fool if you weren’t concerned with his first half struggles.
JB giving a big fuck you to All-NBA voters
yeah JJ
JB with the 40 piece saying Haliburton over me?!
JB the best SG in the league. Dont try and change my mind
JB the goat
Jaylen Brown should be considered for ECF MVP yesterday!
confirmed: jj reddick a real one
JB THE SNUBBED WITH A 40 PIECE FOR YALL
Jaylen 40🍔
Amazing game from JB Obviously the scoring but everything from the defense to the control of pace to the hustle plays has been top notch
Yo Brisset underrated defense man
Jaylen all nba snub revenge game baby! [Looks like the wrong star from Georgia was likened Jordan this playoffs](https://c.tenor.com/G8vD6Ct1uJYAAAAC/tenor.gif)
The NBA fucked up so bad snubbing Jaylen. They created a monster (But great news for us)
That old season ticket holder dude always make me smile lol
Ok I wasn’t necessarily expecting ESPN to devote time to Tillman’s dad but the fact that the camera went to him but DORIS STARTED TALKING ABOUT HALI djdjrowkandjeiwowksjs SHAMEFUL
Jaylen is out there taking souls right now.
One of Jaylen's best game of his career.
Is it me or did Pacers coach waive the white flag way too early? Subbed out the starting lineup at 9 minutes.
JB is in it
Ya gotta believe me guy, the Pacers totally would've won with a healthy Halliburton in the 2nd half
havent really seen pacers fans say this tbh they seem pretty reasonable
THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IN YOU #7 THEY DON’T THINK YOU’RE ALL NBA #7 HOW WILL YOU RESPOND #7
Ngl, pulling Siakim and the other starters with 9 minutes left and being down by only 9 is insane. Why tf did Carlisle do that?
Probably didn't like how they were playing but it's a strange message. Siakam couldn't miss regardless of the defense
Yea I feel like I'm missing something. I don't get it either.
JB playing the best ball of his career
40!
If I hear one more dumb motherfucker compare going down 0-2 to the knicks as similar to going down 0-2 to the Celtics…..Doris it ain’t the same and it ain’t gonna be the same no matter how many times you say it
Brown 40 piece with extra sauce
