Pacers may win this game despite Siakam doing everything he can to give the win to the Knicks

He's adapted his expectations quickly to his recent super-duper star treatment from the zebras

It won't show on stats but a Nesmith did an exceptionally good job on a very tough player to guard..

How many players can you say have played hard 99.9% of their career..the man never takes a play off..

Can we say That about a single Celtic on our roster??

I’m glad we are not playing against either team.

Can we even see air on the replay? :lol:

Looks like Joe is not the only one who doesn't make adjustments in-game.

If only Carlisle put Nesmith on Brunson in Game 2.

He's also their primary defender on Brunson. Not a lot of choices on that Pacers team.

no one could breathe, there was no air! no ghost! no nothing! :lol:

he was really out there tapping his arm and the replay shows no one touched his arm. the only touch he got was Turner on his hip with his hands high in the air, 5 seconds before the shot. unless I missed it, he wasn't fouled and it definitely wasn't on his arm going for the shot.

I'm 100% sure this is what happened in G2 of our 1st round series and now again in the semis.

Been watching these semis after not caring much about the 1st round. Celtics have the weakest opponent in the 2nd round in terms of talent of available players on the roster. Okoro and Strus aren't starter-level players. Mook and Thompson aren't playing on any of the other 7 remaining teams either. Same with Niang.
