Holiday locking down the center was Vintage Smart

Celts getting outworked (outrebounded), Pacers with lots more assists - and points in the paint huge disparity. After a hot start. shooting fell off. Got to kick it into better gear in the second Q.

Pacers are trying to turn every live ball situation into a fast break. Can we stop going for offensive rebounds and just get back on defense?

Pacers piling up fouls which is great. Losing is bad. Not hitting free throws is bad.

Ball movement has stopped on offense.

Boston shooting 33 percent since a 6 for 6 start. Got to weather this run.

The real problem is the defense. Some of that is hot shooting but a lot of it is sloppiness and letting the Pacers out effort them in the paint.

I have no idea how to judge these close out fouls anymore. Feels just they judge it more on how much the shooter purports to be in pain.

Terrible call on that White foul by the ref. Ridiculous.

Turner won't kick his right leg out again for the rest of the game, unreal.

Somebody other than Tatum and Horford need to start to score. Terrible sell out by Brown on D on that jumper. Wake up, boys.

White is a weird defender - capable of making highlight plays but also gets regularly toasted by the Nembhards of the world.

It's still so early - Indy will cool off, Celts should eventually get their shit together.

Jaylen did what Jayson should have done. Jam the thing.

Hey Joe, you see how you can win games without hitting 3s?

Jayson right there for the jam - why kick it out to Al for the three? I don't understand.

Some of this is unsustainably hot shooting. Need to weather the storm.

Some of this is unsustainably hot shooting. Need to weather the storm. Some of it is also tepid/mediocre switching and defense. This is the G2 effort the Celtics showed in the last two series, but in G3.

Pacers are hitting everything, they got to cool off at some point, don't they?
