The most painful part of almost having been 2-1 is I think we'd do alright against the Mavs

I think/hope we’ll win today but unfortunately we’ll lose game 5

Every game has been heartbreaking for different reasons, so I'll go with us getting blown out today to keep the trend going.

This had better be Rick Carlisle's last game as head coach, or the fans will riot. His coaching has been abysmal vs Boston.  (MY NOTE:  The Pacers had little chance of beating the best team in basketball fully healthy, and they weren't)

Is Haliburton going to try to play tonight, or his he content to watch the season end to he can rest up for the meaningless Olympics?

Anyone who would treat a gold medal as part of the USA team as "meaningless" is disconnected from reality.

I expect the Pacers to win tonite. The Cetics will not be able to celebrate here.

season will not be over today, nor will it be in 2, 4 or 6 days PACERS IN 7

I just want to win tonight so the ecf presentation isn’t on our floor

Mickey Mouse is Jayson Tatum’s father

Tyrese is officially out.

Does anyone know if the Celtics wore black tonight?

They're not stupid like the knicks

WAY too many Celtic fans here. Let’s get loud!!

If we lose this game, I am just going to pretend we won game 1 and 3 and that we lost the series 4-2.

I don't see the Mavs winning more than one game against this Celtics team. The finals will be totally one sided.

Have you not watched Luka and Kyrie at all?

Why do we have Doris and JJ doing commentary. Terrible commentators and so biased.

JJ probably wants us to win, considering in a few weeks he'll be the coach for LA

the one and only bright spot of this series potentially ending tonight is that we no longer have to endure ESPN

Gonna say they close it out tonight, which would make us 0-8 vs the Celtics in our last two playoff series with them. Woof.

Oh cool, they aren't going to miss again.

Jaylen “Pushoff” Brown complaining something is a foul

If these playoffs have taught me anything, it's how annoying Doris Burke is

Anyone else notice the Celtic players are always complaining to the refs about something

It’s obvious Doris didn’t get to talk as a child. Now she’s making up for lost time.

Who is shocked we are 7 mins in and not had a foul yet?

Rick can't be serious playing Doug in an elimination game

McDermott getting minutes for us in the 2024 ECF should be illegal lol

Jrue Holiday has been their best player.

Probably don't want our rookie playing 1-1 vs Derrick White.

Tatum has to be the laziest superstar. So often he will make literally zero moves and just fire a contested 3 for seemingly no reason.

Is Playoff Dougie a thing?

I take back all Doug slander for now

Dougie is MILES better than Hauser.   He's like 5x the basketball player Hauser is.

I see boston has the strategy of just not missing 3 pointers

Since they’re down 3-0 we should focus on takeaways, here’s mine: Isaiah Jackson is pitiful

What a save by IJax. Leave him in instead of Myles he looks like he actually wants to compete.

Take Isiah Jackson out he is pure damage right now

Celtics are not going for the kill. Pretty soft lineups.

As long as the corpse of Al Horford doesn’t hit 7 3s on us again we got a good chance of winning this one

Need to work on that spin kick, IJax, they'll call that every time

Ngl jax mighta did that on purpose lol

Me: Where the f*** was the foul, such a late whistle  Also me watching the replay: oh…. Oh yeah maybe a little

Ijax said hope ya can enjoy the victory with one frigging eye

How did Jackson not get a flagrant foul on that kick to the face ?

I'm not gonna argue after IJax just wheel kicked a dude in the head, but that foul on TJM is a clear take foul.

They may be up 3-0 but I don’t feel good at all watching this series if I’m a Boston fan.  TJ been cooking them all series and they are going to stop Luka/Kyrie.

Myles is just too slow, he can't cheat off and get out to contest Horford

Myles...I'm begging you...please cover old man Al

Take Myles out he's killing us

Miles Turnover

Myles is useless af..

Nemby is just taking whites lunch money

Sheppard hasn ‘t really done anything positive this entire series why is he getting so many minutes ?

That should be the turning point if this team is to win  Tatum flexed after a bs non call that’s gotta fire up the boys

Is Turner injured / sick?

Sick of playing basketball maybe

Who allowed these children to root for Boston?  That’s child abuse

Boston fans always look like House of Pain rejects.

Tatum had time to shoot, fall down, get up, get his own rebound..

How does someone laying on the ground beat you to the ball?

When their player who fell down gets the rebound over 3 of our players that were in position

The amount of ways Myles Turner finds to not get a rebound is amazing.  He is Dennis Rodman of not getting a rebound

Jaylen Brown is the Derek Zoolander of the NBA. Absolutely cannot go left.

Celtics are so freaking boring

This crowd is way too quiet

Jaylen Brown fully embracing the LeBron just run into to people play style

I'm pretty confident the Celtics would be better if they traded Tatum. He has the worst shot selection since Kobe.

And Brown once again crying about the call.

He def cries the most of any of the Celtics, seems like. Tatum sometimes. The other three starters don't seem to say much.

we're winning the free throw attempts battle?!? Is that a typo?!?

I just don’t want to be swept in two straight playoff series against the Celtics

I really don’t like Tatum and I don’t know why. He doesn’t do anything necessarily bad.

Myles got injected with something at half

Where are the Myles haters now

Start of the 3rd Myles turner is different

There’s the classic Jaylen Brown stiff arm

Man Tatum really does forget he’s 6’10

who needs floor cleaners when the celtics will just mysteriously fall and clean them for you?

I need Tatum to keep taking those trash shots

Turner is aggressively bad

I really like Jrue. I want to hate Boston but he’s legit

A tie headed into the 4th is a double digit loss. Get your brooms ready.

Like why do you need to shove white to the ground you’re a foot taller and getting bullied

Ngl kinda hope they eject myles

Jaylen Brown is a fake tough guy with no left hand

Are we allowed to play with four players? It's better than having 5 if our 5th is Ben Sheppard

Never realized until I watched him in this series how much Horford assaults people in the paint on rebounds.

refs hate us

White is a menace

celtics could literally murder someone on the court and it wouldnt get called

White’s career highlight was shaving that horrific hairline

Just foul out Myles we know you don’t want to be here

Turner's a real throwback to the days where basically all Centers were Mentally Ill

pacers really struggle to rebound when Celtics miss 3's

All joking aside they’re missing em so badly it’s hard to rebound

I think our only hope is for Tatum to force, and brick contested threes. We cannot guard Boston when they are aggressive.

Even Tillman is complaining this is a Boston culture

Thank you! Refs finally called Tatum for pushing off with off arm

Tatum almost decapitated him

Celtics just been fooling around for 2.75 quarters just like every game and will lock in for the end of the game and just shut down our defense.

Does Turner have intellectual disability?

Doris doesn’t even hide the fact she’s a Celtics fan

I wonder if the media will sh** on the Celtics if they close us out without Haliburton. Cause you know wins don't count if a star was hurt

Who the f is that bench warmer bumping TJ after the buzzer

Oshae Brisset, he used to be a Pacer

I love Toppin I hate Myles

Really hope the mavs beat the Celtics lol

Celtics are so mid. Tatum and Brown both rely on that off hand so much to create separation it’s freaking lame.

Did fans give up or is it the holiday? Comments have been slow enough to read them all tonight.

Think people gave up

Jayson Tatum is convinced he has never committed a foul in his life

The year is 2044 and we’re all watching the 30 for 30 about the pacers coming back from 0-3 against the best team in the nba

Now is the point y'all tell us they let us win.

Brown is gonna make us pay for any little mistake.

JB is so much better than Tatum it isn't even funny

Brown is way better than Tatum

THATS A FLAGRANT 2 COME ON

Dirty play by Brown, wtf was that

this racist **** JB

He already has a Tech so even a flag1 would be an ejection right?

Ridiculous he almost killed the guy

F***ing brown man. Got to be ejected

I didn't know it was common to smash a player's face while they were in the air. Nice to know, thanks NBA!

That is the most BULLSH** call ever.. regardless it should have been a flagrant 1 PERIOD..... I hate these refs

If the commentators can't acknowledge the flagrant nature of clotheslining a defenseless player in air and taking vision away...get them off my TV.

F*** everyone win by 30, win the next three games, demote Boston as a city in its entirety

Zarba deserves literal sh** put on every dinner he eats for the rest of his life.

what is wrong with these psychopath referees

This is mad, but it's absolutely the right call. It's 100% incidental.

Tatum looks like the Heisman every time he drives

Obi is a liability this series man.

Obi has been terrible man

Toppin has got to be one of the worst defenders in the league....

6 point lead with 5 to go, so that's down 4 once you apply the Rick factor.

Just cannot shake the feeling we’re gonna blow this lol

Imagine a world where browns ejected and Tatum gets his 6th foul.

ESPN odds say 100% chance of Pacers loss

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

The Celtics are just lazy. They wait as long as possible to start trying every game.

Obi and myles being abused on defense

Obi Toppin getting outmuscled by Holliday on the block? comon man

Jrue and White stay bullying our bigs

I have never seen a team become the reggie miller choke meme like this one ever. What a complete joke

🧹🧹🧹🧹

This team is an embarrasment.

Pacers really choked for 4 straight games

Did the Pacers really "choke" again or did Boston not try until the last possible minute?

Celtics are great, our closer is out, Nembhard will be better, you guys were mad at the refs about the flagrant but refs were outstanding Tonight

Refs controlled ALL momentum every freaking game in this series ... Like I said before , there needs to be an investigation on the whole ref association .. Silver and company already had everything ready to celebrate the sweep , and they didnt wanna have to fly everything out to Boston

I expected absolutely nothing from this game and, somehow, I am still disappointed.

in games 1, 2, and 4, we had espn win probabilities of 97%, 94%, and 89.8% in the 4th quarter. should be 3-1

Celtics ability to just take over the last 3 minutes of the game is just insane.  I felt like I saw that same ending 3 times this series.

At least I don't have to watch ESPN anymore

Why do I ever bother with this sport

I’m glad brown can just punch players without getting a tech

Should've had that flagrant on TJ. Refs totally ended the season

Man we didn't score in the last 3 and a half minutes. Blaming this on the refs is absurd.

On the brightside, I don't have to listen to Doris Burke anymore

They come alive at the end of games. We generally wilt.

Good luck to the Celtics in the Finals. If they play anything like they did in this series, boy are they going to need it.

Congrats to the Celtics, they're going to win it all.

I was actually ecstatic tonight about the refs, they did an outstanding job for once.....

what about when jaylen brown tried to turn TJM into Ichabod Crane

I was OK with the call, Jaylen is not a dirty player and I don't think it was intentional, I was so peaved with the refs in game 1 and 3, but I think tonight they got most calls right (not all but most)

the Celtics in my opinion are the best team in the league and although we deserve to be here cause we are better than the Bucks/Knicks, Boston is way way better than us as well as the rest of the conference....i think they will beat the Mavs because they have been a team all year, however, didn't think the Mavs would dominate the Wolves so I could be wrong

Unless Boston plays up to their competition I think Dallas could make short work of them. Maybe Boston was playing at like 75% capacity against us and will turn it up in the Finals, but they aren’t winning playing like they did in this series.

He must have meant - shut down our offense.

How amazing was the Celtics defense for the last 3:30 of Game 4? Remarkable.
