Tatum is clearly a superstar. Even when he’s not impacting the game on offense, he’s playing great defense. Not so tonight to this point.

I can't remember a better game from Jaylen. He clearly carries last year's playoff loss big time and wants revenge - and it is beautiful to see.

Tatum is not a super star. All due respect, you’re an idiot (yea JMEI i know, I know) Superstars go half a playoff game with 4 points and 0 points in 9 minutes to close out regulation. He's had what, 1 or 2 games where he took over? He does other things to stay effective, but he doesn't perform like a star in the playoffs. Against the vaunted Pacers defense no less.

Tatum coming alive, I don’t hate the heat check. Not much to complain with the quarter overall.

Got to give a hand to Pritchard too - he has solidified himself into a big time, important part of this team. He's having quite a game.

Not sure what the deal is with the refs. They whistle everything the first quarter, let them play the 2nd and most of the 3rd, then last few of the third they are going ticky tack again.

Remember - Pacers are not a good defensive team. We are seeing that - Celts just need to keep the heat on the D and play smart with the ball.

Halliburton out - leg injury. I think they said left leg which is the same leg as that hamstring injury.

LeBron once scored 8 points in 45 minutes in a finals game - take away his Superstar status.

8 point 4 Reb 3 assists +7 3rd for Tatum, good sign It's crazy the criticism he gets, the moment he has a bad half like white on rice, how often does he follow a bad half with a good half, dam near every time. Bird and Jordan had bad halves too. Haliburton out with a leg injury for rest of game. I'm going to change my pick from a 5 to 6 game series to 4 to 5. Without him they are like Miami without Butler with the D replaced with O.

Going after Sam Hauser of all people is how you know Jackson is a fake tough guy.

Nembhard is impressive.
Also, they just showed that replay of Jackson trying to break Hauser’s arm, and the booth said nothing.

Is Horford hurt or are they just rolling with Hauser given the gap? Bill Simmons called this in his podcast, saying Joe Mazz HAD to play Tatum at the 5 at times. We've been getting a lot of that this 2nd half actually.
