MY NOTE:  My favorites are in bold.  Which are yours?



I thought the NBA tried to limit playing 3/4 nights, but I guess when it’s the pacers it’s okay

With Dipo playing tonight this should be a blowout win

There's no doubt we are better than the Celtics. Obviously they're a great org but they lost Hayward and are down Kemba. They can't match our size or depth, and sans Tatum going super saiyan, we should get the W.

Rinse and repeat. But blow them out this time.

Why is Brad Stevens wearing a disposable medical mask?

Domas, love ya man, but you need to think about those shoes a little more before you put them on your actual feet

I see the celtics are gonna play prison rules again today

Smart is just foul baiting.

The last game says we should beat them but something about playing the same team twice in a row is giving me a bad feeling about this one

Refs got the memo that the Celtics are supposed to win these games

Can our bigs please stop jumping on Tristan Thompson shot attempts he’s gonna miss if you stand still

Thompson is absolutely destroying us

Always hated Thompson f*** him

Not a horrible start. Just not rebounding well and once again Marcus “f*** the entire state of Indiana” Smart cooking once again.

Marcus Smart hits 100% of his threes every time.

Thompson's defense on Sabonis has been really solid. Domas really having to work when going at him in the pos

Their strategy is just to get us in foul trouble lmao

Dude. Our players are falling

so how many more free throws than us do you think the Celtics will get this game? 15?

Wow Teague actually made a shot

Boston being way more physical

Thompson doesn't look washed up tonight, that's for sure

I'd trade Turner straight up for Thompson. Turner continues to be absolutely worthless... with the random help side blocked shot exception.  (MY NOTE:  Maybe that's why Danny didn't make the trade?)

Vic is f***ing back. Love to see it after so many of y’all gave up on him.

Pacers are better without Dipo. I’m probably wrong but the second he’s “back” they should deal him.

Do you think that the team (Boston) is beginning to suffer from coaching fatigue? Stevens is in his 8th year there and I wonder if he isn't coming to the end of his expiration date. Winning a title extends that date but so far Brad hasn't done it.

The team lacks talent this year. Too many rookies and draft picks.  I know Kyrie didn’t like Stevens system. I’ve noticed a difference in Brad’s demeanor though so i’m not sure he’s enjoying himself anymore. Who knows. Can’t imagine him going back to college.

Their top players are young, and are still a few years from their prime. Experience is big in the NBA, often experience trumps talent.

How long is Kemba out?

they say end of january but injuries in boston tend to last.... until they leave boston

Tatum is overrated

If you remove the name Tatum from his jersey is he really that elite?

I mean 23-7-3-1-1 on 45-40-80 can be defined as what?

Pritchard is tricky. Looking like he’s gonna be a draft steal.

I like him too. Better shooter than what I thought

Get the white dudes off the court dammit!

Our best player is Domas and our best shooter is Doug. Hush down now.

Payton Pritchard reminds me of McConnell

Do the refs not realize that Tristan Thompson fouls on every play?

Tatum just can’t help himself on those step back hero ball threes... lmao

Tatum hitting that game winning step back three has given him so much confidence it that stupid a** shot

Smart again arrghh

So sick of Marcus Smart only playing for fouls

Our offense is way more collected than the Celtics, they just BS it

So we’re only going to call fouls in favor of Boston tonight I see.

Marcus Smart somehow survived the life-threatening charge he took the other night. Looks like he located his shoulder just fine. He’s back at full speed, ready to barrel into the lane entirely out of control and receive garbage free throws for it.

There's that f***er Smart again

Idk what it is but I can’t stand Marcus Smart

Marcus Smart gets so many BS fouls called for him.

I feel like Zach Zarba had a bad experience with a girlfriend from Indy or something; he’s always so one-sided against us. This is terrible officiating.

TT has been doing an excellent job pinning Sabonis down so he can't help on the drives

Tatum and Brown can shot create anyway but without Myles they don't even have to get creative.

Holy travel and push off tatum

Of course we’re going to lose games but I just don’t want to lose this game especially against Celtics. Haha

Man Grant Williams is low key fat

Grant Williams chunky for an NBA player

man I thought my job sucked, but at least I'm not the guy in the Boomer suit dancing to an empty crowd

Boston can score because they're good. The difference from years past is that we can keep it going now too

Finally getting some foul calls

Making up foul calls at this point

Boston is playing the most annoying form of basketball rn

Daniel Theis looks like Rattata without the teeth

Sabonis just punked Williams

So is this team really good or are the Celtics not as good as people thought?

Both

Celtics always suck in the 3rd. They will try to bounce back hard in 4th.

Missing Kemba but we always play them close

Pritchard low key causing issues because he’s faster than our guards

Celtics fans said Turner was no better than Theis LMFAO

Im very impressed with this team so far. Keep this up and there is no reason we can't win the east

So far, we’ve only played the knicks, bulls, and celtics. When are we gonna face a top team?

Already seeing the “I wish we had Myles” in the Celtics game thread

Tatum scAred. Tatum scared

Celtics look like butt

You guys? What is this 3rd Quarter sh**?? I thought we were suppose to suck in the 3rd!?

Coaching

Prichard is smooth

We are getting smoked by a rookie

Sigh. I turn on the TV and we go on a 17-1 run and then turn around and lose the entire lead. If this isnt the most Pacers 7 minutes of basketball, I don’t know what is.

These dudes NEVER go away my lord

Pritchard is some rookie

Pritchard is the worst. A mediocre white guy who shoots. The prototypical pacers killer.

Aaron you can’t get beat by this freakin high schooler

Prtichard getting superstar calls smh

They want the Celtics to win. F*** these refs

Refs are letting the celts momentum get to their call making

25-12 in the free throw department. Seems legit

why Pritchard getting all star foul calls right now??

Despite the best efforts of the Pacers and the Refs, the Celtics are unable to pull ahead in the 4th.  (MY NOTE:  Wait for it...)

if the lakers got mauled like the pacers do they’d shoot 100 free throws a game

Refs literally are ruining this game. FTs are the only thing keeping the Celtics even in this one.

Hmm yes Tatum elbows Warren so he must be fouling

This sh**’s f***ing rigged

Yea I forgot the NBA cant let the Celtics go 1-3

Throw a punch at Tatum

Getting cooked by white boys is just in our blood

Somebody stop all star Pritchard, thanks

Kemba is on the trading block now lol

I definitely feel like Indiana would have gotten Payton if we didn't give Milwaukee our first rounder.

Can’t believe you guys are freaking about this game. This is one of the better coached teams we will play. We can clearly hang with them.

The only thing that makes any sense is that we're intentionally losing which makes no sense. Idk what I'm watching

Brad went small and the new Nate didn’t adjust for s***

Pritchard was good guarding Turner and he is like 6 feet tall

I swear we always take leads on the Celtics and always find new and creative ways to blow them.

Refs helped until celtics had enough confidence alone

One sided officiating makes things tough.

If you breathe near Tatum you get called for a foul.

nba cant be having their money makers losing 3 straight

theis in so maybe we dont see a billion alley oops for the rest of the game

The free throw discrepancy is sus. Refs calling a one way game.

Why do we even watch the nba??? The league hates us.

I would be worried to face Boston in the playoffs. Not because of their roster but they way they will ref the games.

We have more careless passes against the Celtics with under 1min in the games then any team in the league

I love Justin but dude... why is he the one getting the ball ATO?

Because we didn't give him the ball last time.

It looked like the first time he’s ever dribbled a basketball

We're a good squad, but we're still the Pacers. The refs can still do this to us.

run out the shot clock, hit a dipo 3, then we win because they'll give the ball to Tatum and he'll throw it in the ocean  (MY NOTE:  "the ocean"?  In Indiana?)

Did the refs just save the game for us with that kick ball?

EVERY F***ING TIME WE PLAY BOSTON THAT HAPPENS

20 extra FT attempts and they can only beat us by 5, what a joke.  (MY NOTE:  Fair enough, but let's not forget all the comments early on about Tristan Thompson picking up fouls on Sabonis and Turner and "just stand still and he'll miss")

This, 20 extra FT attempts is outrageous. I don't feel bad about this loss at all.

You don't feel bad about us choking away a 17 point lead? Refs or not, that's a big choke job.

We lost that game ourselves careless passing too much McConnell early in that fourth

I mean this wasn't good officiating, but that game was atrocious. I'm completely serious when I say that game was rigged.

Refs won this one for Boston.

3-1 isn't bad...and we definitely know we can beat this Celtics team when we are healthy

I’m so tired of shooting ourselves in the foot against the C’s.

Pacers got careless with the lead... and little a** Pritchard just kept fighting and got them back in the game.

We got Pritch slapped


Bob

"We got Pritch slapped"

Last line was my favorite
