MY NOTE:  They're not blaming the refs as much as I thought they would.  Some, that's inevitable, but not all that much.



Bring on the Celtics. Gotta get them early before Porzingis gets back from injury

Pacers win if Hali plays defense. He can’t hide on someone and not worry about defense besides Hauser

Celtics in 5.

Pacers in 6. Celtics are BUMS.

Pacers in 4 leading to the Celtics blowing everything up this off-season.

Pacers in 4. Joe Mazzula is terrible.

These Pacers took the trash out when they played trash teams so far. Time to go to the curb once again. F*** Boston -- Pacers in 4

Going to be a tough series. They are the better team.

Need to run Horford out of the gym   Jrue too. He turns 34 years old next month.


the good news is i get to dust off an old meme




Whoever wins this series gets to keep Larry Bird  (MY NOTE:  Best offer I've had in a LOOONG time!)

I don't think they are going to get swept as Celtics love to choke at least a game per series just because that's what they do, so Celtics will easily win series in 5.

I ain’t scared of Boston’s starting 5. Tatum is soft, Jaylen can’t dribble, Horford old as he**, Jrue can’t guard Hali and DWhite as a starting SG is laughable. These guys have never won anything. Pacers in 4!

as a wolves fan. Please beat the celtics

From a Heat fan- GO PACERS! Lots of heat fans in your guys corner. Upset those b**ch made leprechauns

As a Brooklyn Nets fan, please wash these dudes!!

Good luck from the Heat bros down in South Florida!

Boston is the better team on paper but they don’t play the game on paper.

Just don’t let those Massholes win at our place.

We are playing our best basketball of the year.  Boston has been gathering rust since Wednesday.  We will win tonight.

Celtics fans are getting ready for disappointment  

As a Knicks fan it hurts to say this but I’m rooting for y’all to take down Boston

bulls fan here . f*** the celtics ! go pacers !!!!

Daily reminder to everyone that celtics are a pack of Bums. Jaylen Brown can’t dribble.

Tony Brothers better continue being our good luck charm

Ever since that video of him and Tyrese joking around before the All Star Game (Tony Brothers clowning Tyrese's shot) it feels like he is on our side lol.

Larry bird pacers legend

Love that basically everyone that's not bucks or knicks fans are cheering for us but even a few fans from those teams still are.

Imagine we win in 6, but Tatum get injuried in the last 30 seconds of game 6 and then we have to listen to that narrative all over again

Like most of us, I'm not expecting us to win this thing but it's certainly possible and maybe a nicely placed Nesmith foot under Jayson Tatum shooting a 3 is on the menu?  

It is electric in there

This team is going to sweep us

Myles has legs as cement blocks

Horfords gonna be annoying this series

Refs are trying to help us out tonight and I appreciate it

We look like frauds out there

Another disappearance from Haliburton

WOW we suck

Yeah this sh** is gonna be a sweep

Celtics have 5 all star starters

So Myles just gonna let Al Horford take an uncontested hook shot? Not even gonna put a hand up?

Not saying we can’t win this but man the Celtics are really freaking good

Gonna need defense at some point

Horford is killing us

It feels like he always does

How old is hortford

106

Thought he was a dinosaur

Hotford has been so consistent for da** near 2 decades

It's wild how fast Boston is playing. They're beating us at our own game.

Why does Derrick White scare me more than Tatum/Brown?

Tatum could drop 60 tonight and I would still consider him a fraud

Giving Horford open threes doesn't seem great.

McConnell is eating Pritchards lunch in the short white guy battle

This is my fault everyone. Pacers are 1-6 when I order pizza before the game. I'm sorry

Boston doing to the Pacers what we do to other teams. Getting the ball up before our defense sets up.

Gotta give the knicks credit MSG was rockin. TD garden is not

this is gonna be a lot easier to watch than watching brunson flop at everything.

It's amazing how we never get the foul advantage.

I thought Pritchard was a little taller. This mfer out there looking like a Keebler Elf

Don’t leave him open or he’ll be serving up some cookies!!!

Anyone else notice that it’s like silent there? What is going on?

Boston crowd has been very bad this year

rick is stupid for sitting siakamm  We are thriving in spite of Rick because of the players

not a good coach

Shep with the block on Horford! Get up there, Boy!

That was a clean block

100% clean block

Horford is bleeding from the bridge of the nose. Shep got him good

I'm so sick of playing 8 vs 5. F*** these ref

Pacers just can’t afford to miss because they play zero defense

Does the city of Boston really need more championships  (MY NOTE:  Yes, especially basketball ones)

no there a toxic fanbase also.

That ref must be new, he gave us a call on accident

the difference right now is 4-5 horrible calls towards Boston. Should be tied right now.

Tony Brothers is the crew chief tonight. I'm OK w that. He's alright

The Boston stadium is so quiet. Even when they score. It seems like no one in Boston really gives a sh**

im so over Tyrese not showing up for half the playoff games.

Starters getting thoroughly outplayed so far but they just need to score enough to keep it within the 5-10 range.

Luke Kornet looks like that guy at the office who spill used coffee grounds after taking the last cup and doesn’t clean up after himself

Celtics fans are so weak

Derrick White is beginning to look a little fishy

Tatum just threw a fit because Nesmith handed him the ball. What a b**ch. Biggest cry baby in the league.

Tony brother not having any of Tatum’s sh**

There’s no way it isn’t the audio. TD Garden is literally a library.

Brown is a wannabe foul baiter

We are so for real.

Carlisle's defensive approach and inability to take advantage of lineup mismatches is absolutely atrocious.

you should to apply for his job since you are so much more tactically sound than rick.

If the Celtics keep just trying to iso we got a good shot, when they move the ball they slice us up. Can only hope Brown keeps trying to iso

Aye only reason Boston is up rn, refs giving them everything smfh

Brown figured if they don’t call a travel might as well keep doing it

Horford ain’t great but we can’t just let him shoot wide open

And the crowd goes mild

This half will set the tone for the series. If Indy punches it out with them and win the game Boston will fold under pressure. Tatum and Brown are habitual chokers.

Are there even fans in the stadium?

they really do just let Tatum shove his defender away all the time don't they

Is anyone else stunned with this crowd? MSG makes this crowd look like they’re watching my grandpa hit a 8 foot putt

How did the Bucks trade Jrue Holiday. I still can't understand that move.

On what planet is that brown move not a travel. And the announcer "beautiful use of the pivot foot"... Pretty effective when you can pick up your pivot foot and take two steps lol

Didn’t you know that the Celtics are allowed two pivot feet?

It's a step through.   He never put the pivot foot back on the ground

Refs are more of a challenge then the Celtics

We've given them free throws 10 possessions in a row

And theyve been the correct calls. We're letting them get to good spots

Toppin can’t even catch a ball tf   Obi Droppin

Siakam is straight a** today

Cannot put into words how much I despise that team and its fans. Will be so sweet to see them choke in the finals again.

if Nesmith were Windows he'd be displaying a bluescreen error    Open file defense    File not found.

If this isn’t the most rigged game I’ve ever seen…

I understand Pacers are #1 in the league at fouls per game, but watching it is another level. You can see the youth and inexperience here

the celtics are dirty af

The Celtikkks had to sweep the leg on McConnell

Go on a run and put these guys in the panic room. They'll fold, they're only good with the lead.

Really not okay with old a** Jrue Holiday doing whatever he wants

Pacers are CLEARLY the better team. Refs keeping Boston in it.

As a Detroit Pistons fan ( ), go Pacers. Beat Boston.

i would say f*** the pistons but i genuinely feel sorry for you.

Go f**k yourself holiday. Average offensive player his whole career and decides to turn into kyrie in G1.

Jrue always has amazing games vs us for some reason

Boston crowd is soooo bad. You could hear a needle drop in the TD Garden

As a Lakers fan, let’s go Pacers! Tonight America is all Indiana fans

Just die Boston

Horford literally grabbed Siakim's arms and pushed him. I really want to say that I hate Doris but I think she might be blind and I don't want to commit a hate crime

Mavs fan. Pacers are dogs f*** Boston

Celtics are frauds. We are the better team

Pacers have no composure. Problem with every game being a blowout win or lose

Carlisle is an actual moron. Call a timeout on the inbound? No. Foul when up 3 if you don't? No. Blow the game? Yes.

Haliburton again not here when we need it.

The fact it's Boston fans makes it so much worse

why can’t haliburton be good on defense

Absolutely rigged. Indy choked but I haven’t seen a game this rigged in a long time.

Andrew nembhard you moron wtf are you doing leaving tatum open????????

imagine if this dumba** team knew how to inbound the f***ing ball? its always middle school sh** with this team. Trash handles.

I don’t trust Hali anymore

You need playoff lumps. This is a playoff punch in the face.

Celtics only win because of the refs whistle

Refs weren’t helpful but you cannot lose when you are up 3 with the ball in the bonus with a timeout and 10 seconds left

This game is 100% on Rick. 100%. I don't care about the turnovers. I don't care about the Brown three. I don't care about the Haliburton turnovers. Rick DID NOT call an inbounds play on either of the most important inbounds plays of the entire season!!!!

we can talk about the refs but we completely threw the game away. can’t blame anyone but us

Andrew is a moron… left tatum wide open to shoot a momentum 3.. bro can tplay defense to save his life

Up 3 with 10 seconds left, the ball, AND a Timeout.  Losing there is inexcusable.

That game is completely on us, but that foul differential is completely absurd.

This loss could be the motivation that pushes them to the finals, like game 5 was against the Knicks.

Frustrating as he**, but excited for game two. Need to be so good the refs can’t kill us with foul disparity

We had them, and choked.  Flat out choked.

Ive been waiting all game to post this... The Celtics commit the most full arm extention, offensive fouls ive ever seen.

These Celtics are the best road playoff of the 21st century

As a certified celtics hater I am bamboozled.

Can we please win in 6 so this doesn’t haunt me for the rest of my life

I smell blood. Pacers in 6

Awesome game from the Pacers, unfortunately all good vibes are dead from the way that was choked.

Feels like a series losing game 1

That’s the worst loss in a decade man. Just zero excuse to lose that game. Tyrese dribbled the ball of his leg twice in the clutch. Just choked the game.

This loss is on Carlisle, why let the best 3pt shooting team, shoot a 3?

Aaron Nesmith: 5 turnovers. 6 fouls. 1-5 from three. WHY IN THE HE** IS HE PLAYING 40 MINUTES?!

Who woulda thought we'd be playing against a bunch of nuns I guess they don't commit sins (fouls) F***ING JOKE.

We gave them like 8 opportunities to bury us and they finally obliged

Rick had the most turnover prone idiot inbound the ball and Boston took full advantage

I question if the Pacers will ever win a title. 45 years old and nothing.

In positive news this Celtics team ain’t beating Minny or Dallas so there is that

Celtics are winning the title this year. I guarantee it. 110%.

This series won’t be the same when Porzingis comes back, need to go back to Indy 1-1

I didn’t think we were good enough to be able to get in a position to choke so badly.

This is why having hope kills  

This could be the most cataclysmic, series altering choke since JR Smith dribbled the ball out in the Finals. Underdog with virtually no shot on paper kicks the door in and flips the table on the (vastly) superior team’s court to open the series…but then, suddenly, doesn’t.

There's no winning the series after that. We probably weren't anyway, but there's no coming back from this.

Now I have a headache  

I'm just gonna go lay down in traffic.

Probably less painful than this loss was.

It could be worse. At least we're not the Pistons.

.

These Celtics are the best road playoff of the 21st century.

That's why we should win Thursday. So we can close out in Indy.

worcester,

Something has to give in these next three games. Up first is the G2 Debacle. Then we can settle the undefeateds in IND. We're taking all three.
