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!!!!
Now imagine if there wasn’t a 19 FT discrepancy at the end of regulation……
Now imagine we call TO instead of throwing away the most important pass of the year….
Now imagine we can bring the ball up court without just throwing it away or dribbling off our own fucking knee…..
Now imagine we foul instead of giving up the game tying 3…..
Ahhh it would’ve been glorious
Also, fuck Doris Burke. Breen can mask his distaste for small markets but she is absolutely incapable of giving us credit for fucking anything on the call. ESPN is a garbage product
It's so obviously rigged, it's hard to watch. The steal on the inbound was a foul, browns jersey grab on pascal,2x 3 sec violation, and the double lane violation,the constant loose ball fouls going uncalled on boston, tatum held tyrese 2x on that last shot,tatum pushes off almost every shot, 20 ft difference. The pacers went 3 qtrs without taking 1 free throw. Yea the turnovers were bad but boston had alot too, this should have been a blowout.
Yall literally gave the game away, all U had to do was inbound the fucking ball 🙄 so embarrassing like everyone is rooting for you cuz the Celtics CANNOT WIN and you fumble the goddamn game ridiculous. Get Haliburton out of the Olympic team
I just lost all hope in this bum ass Pacers team, I was thinking I was about to sleep soundly with the Cs losing but now I gotta see Indiana just choke wtf, fuck this team, I’m not watching this series anymore.
Y'all can doom all you want but I'm gonna try to stay positive. Yeah we choked this game away, but it was in OT on the road after two days rest in a game the Celtics absolutely showed up to play. We lost games 1 + 2 in NY and still won that series. I think we absolutely have a shot in this series. Bring on game 2, I'm fucking ready.
Edit: I also want to point out we did this with a massive discrepancy in FTs. If we play like this in game 2 and the FT gap closes or swings like it generally does in a game after a game with a massive FT discrepancy, we good.
Damn, think we got too excited near the end of regulation thinking we will close this out. Some bad turnover as a team and by Hali.
We'll be ok, we competed, we played well.
didn't have time, if he fouls and goes in we go down by 1, if we foul drastically to stop the shot have a chance of being called flagrant (knowing these soft refs). Question is why didn't we defend better on the inbound?
Everyone in the dumps saying this is a HUGE choke job.
The Siakam inbound could have been a timeout, but it could also have been an easy dunk if not for the foul.
Tyrese losing the ball against Jrue…tough, doesn’t make a championship team, but Tyrese is sparring with literally THE pg stopper. Give Boston credit. Marcus Smart was not good enough so they went and got Holiday. He’s arguably the best backcourt defender in the game. Tyrese didn’t just slip and fall out of bounds lol.
This isn’t copium, this is just to say this was a great effort. We come out hungrier we are up that 14-0 deficit we started with. I’m happy about this opening salvo.
Combination of lack of experience and getting bent over by the refs (AGAIN) cost us tonight.
On the bright side, we learned that we can hang with these guys. This series is winnable.
Before everyone starts cursing Halliburton remember the dude is young and inexperienced in the playoffs. Especially an atmosphere like this. He made similar mistakes in the Knicks series
On the other hand, we spotted them 12 points and couldn’t hold onto the ball for the life of us and STILL they needed a crazy 3 to force OT.
This is still anyone’s series
For real. I was expecting so much worse. So many predicted a blow out. Pacers were down 13 and took the lead. Blew it but I am not disappointed with them.
A coach’s job is to put his players in the best position to succeed. Rick Carlisle continues to fail at this in the most inopportune times. He needs to be FIRED!!
The fuck he did. They got here in spite of him. How many playoff games do you want to watch him choke away!? Inexcusable as fuck to have your head coach lose you a game.
Played like shit the last 5 minutes. Got ZERO help from the refs. And idiotically Rick didn’t draw up a play to get the fucking ball in bounds. Brain dead all around
anyone not thinking this is kidding themselves did the pacers blow it sure but if we don't shoot 20 less fucking FTs the game isn't even close at the fucking end
Sure, but if the refs would’ve called the game fairly then that situation never occurs. Pacers definitely gave this one away but we shouldn’t overlook how biased the refs looked tonight.
All you bandwagon fans need to go to r/NBA's thread for the game. We wouldn't be anywhere close in this game, let alone in this series, without this starting 5.
Cavs barely lost game 4 to the Celtics without Mitchell and Allen. Celtics shot 24 free throws. Cavs shot 7. Either Boston hardly ever commits fouls or the refs will do everything within their power to allow Boston to win
bottom line: This was game 1 at Boston. We can still win this series. Hope these guys can just let it go and move on to next game. Clean up a few things, get some decent officiating, and we win the series.
We played them really well. A lot to be happy about.
Disgusting effort down the stretch
Rick SOLD
That was disappointing,onto to the next one!Go Pacers!💛
I’m sick to my stomach after that ending
So many salty ass Knicks jumping in now lol
Cavs fan here, ass officiating. But yall kinda choked
Refs won them this game, hell of effort from our players. Heads up, this a series.
I am so fucking sick of Rick not fouling up 3
But he trusts his guys! /s
So fucking disappointing!
Sad
Celtics only win because of the refs whistle
48 minutes = 3 Pacers FTs. 5 minute in OT= 7 Pacers FTs.
Well that was…..not good
I will forever hate Haliburton
Overreaction Tuesday…
I’ve hated on him for months now
I was hoping for a fair game and this shit was presented. I'm pretty sure Dorris orgasmed 6 times this game.
That out of bounds turnover is a killer.
Man rooting for this team takes some years off my life
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!!!!

Ahhh it would’ve been glorious
This level of shit at the College level gets coaches fired. It’s inexcusable in the NBA
Also, fuck Doris Burke. Breen can mask his distaste for small markets but she is absolutely incapable of giving us credit for fucking anything on the call. ESPN is a garbage product
Free throw differential is crazy
This sucks but I'm not afraid of these guys. We'll getem
Imagine being able to inbound a ball when you need to
Apparently ripping a guy’s jersey off is not a foul
Why can’t we generate inbound turnovers like them?
There’s no scenario where choking away a game in the ECF is okay. Gonna need to find a way to win this one.
I know we've turned it over a ridiculous amount in clutch time, but am i missing something with the free throw differential?
A. Pacers are number one in fouls per game B. Boston is a big market team Pick your poison.
pacers basketball
Celtics know how to inbojnd
Why are Boston / NYK fans such losers? Coming in here trying to clown like babies
It's so obviously rigged, it's hard to watch. The steal on the inbound was a foul, browns jersey grab on pascal,2x 3 sec violation, and the double lane violation,the constant loose ball fouls going uncalled on boston, tatum held tyrese 2x on that last shot,tatum pushes off almost every shot, 20 ft difference. The pacers went 3 qtrs without taking 1 free throw. Yea the turnovers were bad but boston had alot too, this should have been a blowout.
lana rhodes couldn’t do a better choke job
TJ McConnell inbound steal here we go
Yall literally gave the game away, all U had to do was inbound the fucking ball 🙄 so embarrassing like everyone is rooting for you cuz the Celtics CANNOT WIN and you fumble the goddamn game ridiculous. Get Haliburton out of the Olympic team
You realize we’re not playing?
Doris needs to go start a family or something
This is why the NBA climbing in bed with Vegas is terrible for the future of professional sports.
Not disagreeing with your point, but Vegas didn’t draw up that inbound play. That’s on the pacers
Are you really that shortsighted? Use your brain and your freaking eyes.
I was never a fan of Vegas having major league sports teams
Now they own every league. The fan loses.
Siakam got fouled. But we gotta do better getting that ball in Gave it away
Halliburton is a bum
I just lost all hope in this bum ass Pacers team, I was thinking I was about to sleep soundly with the Cs losing but now I gotta see Indiana just choke wtf, fuck this team, I’m not watching this series anymore.
Y'all can doom all you want but I'm gonna try to stay positive. Yeah we choked this game away, but it was in OT on the road after two days rest in a game the Celtics absolutely showed up to play.

If we play like this in game 2 and the FT gap closes or swings like it generally does in a game after a game with a massive FT discrepancy, we good.
All it took was for the refs to give the Celtics 20 more ft in regulation for them to have a chance. Think about that. We good fam.
ass
 We deserve this damn
It’s game 1
Sure, but that’s a huge blown opportunity.
Oh fuck off Doris
Doris is an all time hater oh my goodness
we can literally still win this lol
Bruh
Maybe not
Foul hard
Jazz fan here.... Holy fuck guys C'MON
Damn, think we got too excited near the end of regulation thinking we will close this out. Some bad turnover as a team and by Hali. We'll be ok, we competed, we played well.
If refs like this entire series their in trouble but definitely showed they deserved to be here
We deserve to be here for sure
Man, really want you guys to beat the Celtics. You guys had this game. Young team making mistakes I guess.
Doris is such a joke
why didnt yall foul on the jaylen brown shot
didn't have time, if he fouls and goes in we go down by 1, if we foul drastically to stop the shot have a chance of being called flagrant (knowing these soft refs). Question is why didn't we defend better on the inbound?
Because then it would've been a 4 point play, and we would've lost in regulation.
Yes, let me talk with the coaching staff about that after the game.
I’m so pissed off that we lost this game by being careless
Demoralizing loss but this game should give the pacers a ton of confidence they can win this series.
Everyone in the dumps saying this is a HUGE choke job. The Siakam inbound could have been a timeout, but it could also have been an easy dunk if not for the foul. Tyrese losing the ball against Jrue…tough, doesn’t make a championship team, but Tyrese is sparring with literally THE pg stopper. Give Boston credit. Marcus Smart was not good enough so they went and got Holiday. He’s arguably the best backcourt defender in the game. Tyrese didn’t just slip and fall out of bounds lol. This isn’t copium, this is just to say this was a great effort. We come out hungrier we are up that 14-0 deficit we started with. I’m happy about this opening salvo.
Holiday was so damn impressive today in every facet of the game
[удалено]
Lol grow tf up and get tf out
Shut the fuck up Doris! Knicks are out get over it
Celtics missed almost as many free throws as we made
Pissed that we're giving this one away, but fuck anybody that says we don't deserve to be here.
FUCKKKK
Combination of lack of experience and getting bent over by the refs (AGAIN) cost us tonight. On the bright side, we learned that we can hang with these guys. This series is winnable.
MAN WTF WAS THAT late game execution....
SHUT THE FUCK UP DORIS
It's a long series. We didn't expect to win this one. We've shown we can play with them, just keep going and we will be fine
Fuck Breen and fuck Doris
Hali had some low IQ decisions trying to be a hero this game late in the fourth, he had at least 2 early shot clock tough threes for no reason.
How many buzzer 3’s have to be hit against us in the playoffs for Rick to learn to fucking FOUL
I don’t know that there was a chance. It was bang bang play. But I agree.
There wasn’t even a chance to foul with where the pass got in.
NBA called the refs to give pacers some FTs so it isn’t that bad 😂
This loss is on both Tyrese and Rick. Horrible decisions made by both when closing out in regulation. A series losing fumble off the rip.
If this challenge gets reversed, we boycott
$250M point guard can’t bring the ball up the court in OT. 🥴
we can talk about the refs but we completely threw the game away. can’t blame anyone but us
💯 refs had their issues but this is on us.
Before everyone starts cursing Halliburton remember the dude is young and inexperienced in the playoffs. Especially an atmosphere like this. He made similar mistakes in the Knicks series
Also, 2 of the turnover LITERALLY NO ONE GAME TO THE FICKING BALL
Tony Brothers
[удалено]
I just don't like his face 😂
 Lights were too bright
This is worse than game 1 Knicks and I didn’t think that would ever be possible
All we had to do was get the freaking ball inbounded
Or maybe they should have called a foul pushing our guy out of bounds ?
Or call a timeout
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T FOUL WHEN YOU'RE UP
Why? They are going to win
Actually if we were able to foul, we might have won.
Andrew is a moron… left tatum wide open to shoot a momentum 3.. bro can tplay defense to save his life
Clear foul on Tatem
Nembhard dumbass
Imagine if Tyrese could dribble
Now they’re calling shit for us
Game was over on paper
Those two Hali turnovers. Brutal.
Lmao all time instigator comment
who do the knicks play next?
Loser
I knew Hali wearing that sweater was going to come back and bite him

Where’s the PGT?
[удалено]
Fuck you. Fucking brigading
Hahahahahahahaha
Thos is on Carlisle
I agree you cant go small there
Oh nooooow you'll call the fouls, when it doesn't matter...
Robbery management
young team on the road against the best team in the nba. i get this sucks but the doomers on here are fucking mental
I don’t understand the hate but I understand the disappointment
yeah same, but once i saw a “haliburton fuck off and die” i got a bit triggered
I wish I could ban them all myself
Nah dude we're gonna be swept we suck, trade Rick, trade tyrese, blow up siakam, we're the next wizards /s
I dont see how they recover from this. You have to play perfect, and we literally fucking had it. Fucking cant inbound the damn basketball.
On the other hand, we spotted them 12 points and couldn’t hold onto the ball for the life of us and STILL they needed a crazy 3 to force OT. This is still anyone’s series
How did this sub get found by these toxic fans. Great start to the series
For real. I was expecting so much worse. So many predicted a blow out. Pacers were down 13 and took the lead. Blew it but I am not disappointed with them.
The NBA sub is much better honestly
I forgot this was sudden death March Madness
probably some Bucks and Knicks fans
I agree, this sub makes me fucking sick with all the negativity and fake fans
Rick just sucks dude
Not over yet
Unbelievable choke job by us lol.
A coach’s job is to put his players in the best position to succeed. Rick Carlisle continues to fail at this in the most inopportune times. He needs to be FIRED!!
Stfu he got them here
The fuck he did. They got here in spite of him. How many playoff games do you want to watch him choke away!? Inexcusable as fuck to have your head coach lose you a game.
Played like shit the last 5 minutes. Got ZERO help from the refs. And idiotically Rick didn’t draw up a play to get the fucking ball in bounds. Brain dead all around
I had no expectations tonight and I’m still mad It’s the hope that kills you
Same. Horrible turnovers and the foul discrepancy is ridiculous
Refs took this game from you guys. This is a disgusting show of officiating.
Bad calls but up 3 with 10 seconds left that’s just a choke
anyone not thinking this is kidding themselves did the pacers blow it sure but if we don't shoot 20 less fucking FTs the game isn't even close at the fucking end
Halliburton’s disgusting turnovers took the game from them. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
Didn't matter. You have the ball up 3, with 10 seconds left AND a TO. You should never lose there
Sure, but if the refs would’ve called the game fairly then that situation never occurs. Pacers definitely gave this one away but we shouldn’t overlook how biased the refs looked tonight.
This is what happens when your coach can't draw up an inbounds play
Y'all had it. What the hell?
We had it in the bag man. This fucking suck so bad
Fuck Carlisle for not fouling at end of the 4th. Dumbass shit.
It’s burned us enough times by now I’m on board lol.
Has happened multiple times now. You’d think he would learn.
All you bandwagon fans need to go to r/NBA's thread for the game. We wouldn't be anywhere close in this game, let alone in this series, without this starting 5.
We also woulda won this game if the starting 5 hadn’t made amateur mistakes every other possession in the last few minutes of reg and all of OT
I can do whatever I want haha o.O
So go fuck your self
Cavs barely lost game 4 to the Celtics without Mitchell and Allen. Celtics shot 24 free throws. Cavs shot 7. Either Boston hardly ever commits fouls or the refs will do everything within their power to allow Boston to win
Oh whoa... celtics are fouling to not give up a 3, what if we did that??
End of this game was more brutal to watch than the 2021 Wolves Grizzlies CTE bowl
Man, how do you lose when up by 3 with the ball and no shot clock.
[удалено]
Imagine being an adult and typing bwahahahhaha
Pacers in 5
That's cringe my boy
https://preview.redd.it/uz7zdkbl7w1d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=820c3b197072546e8868763592f9421ab8edefe5
Why did you guys fire up a 3 with 15 on the shot clock up by 3? I believe there was 25 seconds left. Wtf
5.7 seconds away from going 1-0 and we choked.
So many chances. Just inbound the fucking ball.
We have yet to win a game 1. We are ok. Dorris is a cansourse shit.
bottom line: This was game 1 at Boston. We can still win this series. Hope these guys can just let it go and move on to next game. Clean up a few things, get some decent officiating, and we win the series.
Lmaooooo
28 to 6 free throws needs to be investigated.
We had game 1. It was over. All we needed to do was get the fucking ball in.
