This Celtics bench is literally just three random white dudes who they have to play because they have no one else besides Neemy Queta haha

Keith Smith was questioning the attraction to Neemy over the weekend. Was fun. He looks like he should be way better than he is is the only answer I have. Still rooting for him to figure it all out.

feels like the Pacers might have let momentum slip away here.

big, strong, skilled, very good advanced analytics. Seems to be a smart kid. It’s a mystery to me why he can’t put it together enough to be a back up is a big mystery to me

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I turned on the league pass, am I stuck with these awful OT feeds? I can log into a TNT stream if I have to but wtf am I paying for (oh, an unplayable 2k24, that's right lol)

To be fair, Luke Kornet is like the one random Boston bench guy who might actually be a good role player for what he does (Be big and block shots)

Indy hyped up

 

[Tetsujin]

Quinn Buckner nearly having a stroke out of excitement on the Pacers feed haha

 

[iowamcnabb]

What a game!

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Great game from Indy. They will be a dangerous team in a playoff series. Nesmith looks good

 

[iowamcnabb]

Nesmith could pass for Jaden Ivey’s brother

 

[Tetsujin]

This is why single elimination tourneys are so great.

 

[Tetsujin]

Al Horford absolutely looking his age tonight. Celtics really might be in trouble if Zinger can’t stay healthy.

 

[Tetsujin]

And Tatum randomly dribbles the ball into Buddy’s lap. That’ll do it.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Why did Boston not use the time out?

 

[Tetsujin]

lol Buddy. That’s not going to come back to bite the Pacers in the future.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

For all the talk of no defense,...Brown, Turner, and Nesmith are capable good defenders

 

[iowamcnabb]

They could have drawn up a 3, fouled and then hoped for a miss on the free throw

 

[Tetsujin]

Why did Boston not use the time out?

Joe Mazz continues to be a bad coach. Not a huge fan of Carlisle but he at least has some idea of what he’ll do in certain scenarios wwhile Boston just sorta seemed to be winging it.

 

[burekijogurt]

That was fun. Home team with the explosion at the end to break the tie and beat the favorite.

Tyrese with the 26/10/13. Not bad at all. Celtics are a tough matchup for anyone. Props to the Pacers.

I’m not sure what assets the Celtics have to work with at this point but they really need like one more scorer off their bench because the Pritchard/Hauser/Kornet/Blanton group ain’t gonna cut it in April and May.

[coolhandluke]

How could they miss that kicked ball?

 

[coolhandluke]

Vanderbilt being a menace.

 

[coolhandluke]

Lakers too long for the Suns.

 

[coolhandluke]

Vanderbilt is everywhere.

 

[coolhandluke]

Suns getting abused down below and giving up offensive rebounds. If only they had a big man...

 

[iowamcnabb]

Epic battle between the show and the Suns. Looked like the Lakers were going to run away with it earlier

 

[coolhandluke]

Durant coming alive.
