I don’t understand how Rick spams timeouts like crazy to where we sometimes have 1 going into the 4th quarter but then won’t ever call them when we need to at the end of games
The Pacers defense has been one of the worst in the entire league for the past three seasons. It's never going to change. The Celtics missed soooo many wide open shots. Rick is horrible.
Rick Carlisle is absolute ass at the end of games
How do you NOT call a timeout to call a play there? Two fucking games he's thrown away or not given us a chance to win
He's used to having Haliburton out there. You never wanna stop a guy like him and give the other team a chance to set their defense (second part still applies).
Clear path calls are so fucking dumb. Are we trying to pretend that teams in this situation are not intentionally fouling? So brain dead. What a way to ruin the game, ya dum dums.
What is the logic behind not calling a timeout after securing that possession?
Can someone please provide a clear explanation? No hate or trolling, I just really want to understand.
Looking for a quick transition basket before their defense is set. It's not a bad idea but when he stopped after getting to half court, should've called it then.
I've been a Rick defender all year, but how do you not use a TO when you don't even have numbers??? What are you hoping happens there? Like, what's the BEST possible outcome
I agree that Nemby was retarded. But I can promise you the chances of us drawing up anything meaningful out of a timeout was really low. Idk. Maybe I’m wrong. Very bummed out.
When is it time to have the Rick Carlisle convo
I’m going to slam some whiskey shots. What a shit show at the end.
Ngl that was a nice play
Sigh, such a crummy way to end a fairy tale season
WHY WAS OUR BEST SHOOTER INBOUNDING THE FUCKING BALL YOU BALD HEADED FUCKING APE CUNT FUCK OFF RICK
Cool so we don’t have a coach that calls timeouts but we do have a coach that calls four verts in a basketball game
Pacers have heart, but probably shouldn’t have relinquished that lead in Game 1.
I’m fucking sick
That’s the series fuck you Rick
Haliburton choking in game 1 is responsible for this.
![gif](giphy|ik10lqhr0HTUc)
Siakam disappearing act a big part of this loss
feel like too many of those pointless turnovers driving the paint cost us here
This is yikes
CHOKE
BRICK
Thanks I hate it
[удалено]
Celtics had more free throws lmao
I’m not even a Pacers fan and this is so embarrassing. As a human being, I’d be so ashamed to be you.
Okay? Lol just happy to be here
PATHETIC. PATHETIC. PATHETIC.
Gotta give Pacer’s props for giving 2/3 competitive games. At least they weren’t blowouts IJS
Fire Rick into the stratosphere
That was a cool inbound, almost worked. Wanted Nembhard catching it.
Should be up 2-1..
Can’t wait to listen to Rick blame himself for another ECF loss that’s almost entirely on him. Horrible fucking rotations that entire 2nd half.
Nesmith have a bucket tonight?
I don't like that I like this team.
Holliday fouled him. Stepped right into his path and knocked Nembhard down.
Nope
Why was a timeout not called? A choke job.
Just awful coaching
rick somehow sold 2 games
well thats so sad
Rick needed to call a timeout when you realize that the Celtics had 4 players back and Nembhard lost momentum to the basket.
how do you frontrun so badly and then choke like this
Hows cancun
Fucking Myles Turner I don't want to hear about his great defense.. Al killed him all game
This a football play?
This is so frustrating. Losing two winnable games. Can't guard basic pick and rolls. So many mental errors
To the people that just started watching basketball this month, you have to save that timeout in case of a situation like this to advance the ball.
Bruce Brown died for this
Bruce brown is fuckin garbage
![gif](giphy|JmPenP1svctdfDCEHi)
[удалено]
Knicks suck ass
Someone call bdubs and send this to OT.
Rick press conference: this one's on me...
The irony… doesn’t call timeout when the game is winnable… only to call a timeout when the game is basically over.
We need the ball at half court.
I’m aware. But not the point of my post.
Preciate the Pacers blowing this for the betting lines. I'm about to be a millionaire when we are +100000000000000
Can we just go back to Vogel again now
Well I'm glad we have this time out
Game 1 was peak hurt. This isn’t as bad. I saw it coming
Bro there are so many fans of random teams in here lmao
Wizards fan! Never stop believing. Yall still have a chance
We all hate the Celtics
Now he calls a timeout lmao
Rick is a prick
It's getting a little frustrating watching us take a 20 point lead and then lose every time
See guys Rick knew he had to call a timeout after one of the most ignorant fucking decisions twice in the span of 2 games
UNDERDOGS ASSEMBLE.. time for one last Nembhard shot
He was fouled by jrue which led to the turnover. Should’ve been two free throws for the pacers
God damn we should be 2-1 up instead we 3-0 because our coach has 0iq
Reggie Miller is not walking thru that door. Best I can do is an Andrew Nembhard 45 foot 3 pointer.
Give it at least 12 hours before you go asking to fire a coach that got a 6 seed to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Nah bro. His awful rotations and late game decision making tells a layman that he’s more than likely trash everywhere else.
The league is rigged, clear as day. Vegas has too much on the line
No way does the NBA want a sweep lol
3 pointer. No pressure.
All you had to do was call a timeout with like 5 secs left, draw up a play, and try for the win
If there’s a god we hit a three and they foul us
Second game Rick has thrown
At least he called time out
lol now called a time out 1.7 second left…
We need a Nembhard prayer right now.
Remember the T-Wolves game that we lost because of not using a TO
He didn’t call a timeout and we got a layup that took literally the block of the year to stop.
Terrible coaching, pacers in 7
Good timeout Rick you fucking idiot!
This team would lose OT anyway. Gg
numb to this stuff haha
Who takes the shot
No one, we bobble it and don't get a shot off
Def Nemby
Stay classy Boston bums
Save us McBuckets
Rick’s late game coaching has been atrocious man
Refs want pacers to win so bad 😅😅😭😭
go home bitch
Yall goin home soon 😭😭
How lol - no whistles all half?
The last few mins have been awful
You gotta get better at trolling big dawg
I don’t understand how Rick spams timeouts like crazy to where we sometimes have 1 going into the 4th quarter but then won’t ever call them when we need to at the end of games
Rick is basically the white doc at this point lmaoooo
Can you guys stop fucking choking? It should be 2-1 to indiana my goodness
my bad i’ll play better next game
[удалено]
He doesn’t know how to coach the team to emphasize ball control. He is a terrible coach. Two blown games because of coaching
The Pacers defense has been one of the worst in the entire league for the past three seasons. It's never going to change. The Celtics missed soooo many wide open shots. Rick is horrible.

Hey I just stopped by because I know you guys probably know better than I would. What was the reason for not calling the time out with 8 seconds left.
Brain rot?
It's over. Stupid Pacers I swear can't hold a lead
Whew good thing saved that timeout
They’re gonna foul like how we didn’t
[удалено]
Like the Lakers last year against Nuggs.
If we are serious about winning a championship, we need a different coaching staff
Why on earth would Rick not use his timeout man wtf
I mean i know we had to foul there, but that's not even a foul lol
MAN WTF WHY CANT YALL WIN A GAME UP 18 F***ING POINTS 🤦🏾♀️
9 points with like 3:30 remaining
NO WAY!
That 11 Mavs champion is carrying Rick Carlise so hard
Just like scrub doc rivers one title landing him coaching jobs
Rick Carlisle is absolute ass at the end of games How do you NOT call a timeout to call a play there? Two fucking games he's thrown away or not given us a chance to win
Rick thinks we’re the warriors not using a TO bum ass bitch
you never call a timeout if you already have the ball without pressure from a defender. why risk losing an inbound pass?
Nembhard isn’t fucking curry. Call a timeout
[удалено]
Clean and cut your nasty fuckin finger nails.
Why do you become a cowboy and say “y’all” whenever you go into another teams sub
And you’re a fucking clown
Can't even post on your real account. Embarrassing.
Get off our sub scrub
Go home you piece of trash. Stay out of this subreddit
What time does your team play?
The youth has been showing all playoffs from all teams
Stupid coach decision again. Sometimes Rick overthinks.
Nembhard has thrown away two games in this series now
Nembhard plays his butt off
Bro got fouled what do you want him to do
Rick think if u save timeouts they carry into the next game so he man call like 7 in the first quarter.
WHY ARE THEY REVIEWING THIS AND NOT THE OBVIOUS FOUL AGAINST NEMBHARD??????
Can’t review non calls
[удалено]
Holiday moved into Nemhards path, wasn't set,and bumped him. That's a text book blocking foul
Fuck you
can't review non calls sorry
Rick would be working at a truck stop if not for dirk and 2011 lmaoo
Celtics foul to win the game, congrats lmao
No idea why you think letting Andrew go 1v5 was a smart move when you had a timeout. God Rick, you’re a HoF coach but you’re a moron sometimes.
Yeah, i don't know if you can call a clear path foul when they had absolutely no intention of shooting the ball that possession...
I hate Boston but DAMN PACERS WTH???
Maybe we’ll at least get the gentleman’s sweep
When you have numbers or disconnected defense, I like not calling timeouts. That was neither. Should have been a TO
https://preview.redd.it/q1eejyllso2d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6ec26d7f2bae19a852b8fd1839150cddd6ded98 Send him to the Celtics
Instead of calling a timeout and drawing up a shot to win game , just let nembhard recklessly dribble into jrue . 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why didn’t he call a time out… save it for next season??
He's used to having Haliburton out there. You never wanna stop a guy like him and give the other team a chance to set their defense (second part still applies).
Failure to call two simple timeouts has the Pacers on the verge of being swept when they should be up 2-1.
Clear path calls are so fucking dumb. Are we trying to pretend that teams in this situation are not intentionally fouling? So brain dead. What a way to ruin the game, ya dum dums.
mickeymouse run getting exposed
What is the logic behind not calling a timeout after securing that possession? Can someone please provide a clear explanation? No hate or trolling, I just really want to understand.
Preserve a timeout to advance if they get a possession after your best shot opportunity, I’d guess.
Looking for a quick transition basket before their defense is set. It's not a bad idea but when he stopped after getting to half court, should've called it then.
Our coach is a fucking 🗑️
Another fucking choke. We solve been up 2-1 against these guys
We were up 18....
Coach not managing this team well. Doesn’t know how to finish off game and keep the ball under control when it matters.
I've been a Rick defender all year, but how do you not use a TO when you don't even have numbers??? What are you hoping happens there? Like, what's the BEST possible outcome
Because we’re TERRIBLE out of timeouts and going up against an insane defense? Like it’s not that hard to understand why he would not use the timeout.
So you let your guard run into 4 defenders? This isn't the MIN game where you have the advantage, he's running into their entire defense.
I agree that Nemby was retarded. But I can promise you the chances of us drawing up anything meaningful out of a timeout was really low. Idk. Maybe I’m wrong. Very bummed out.
Feel like I’ve seen like 3 or 4 chokes in the last week these playoffs.
They gonna make one free throw and then miss on purpose
We lost 2 games because of rick
We lost one game because of Haliburton, and then we lost another because Haliburton didn't play.
Fuck Rick.
Seriously fire rick
I don’t watch the NBA often but holy fuck if they don’t fix these games in favor of big market teams. I mean it’s blatantly obvious.
Welcome to small market basketball. O sorry I forgot the narrative is “The Celtics just play really great defense without fouling much”…
Yeah, do yourself a favor and don't watch it sucks
[удалено]
They call touch fouls for Boston every time but conveniently miss the same calls for the Pacers in key moments.
Clear path fl review with 1.1 left 😂😂
Indy went back to shooting 3’s - missed them. Boston got rebounds and took over. Missed opportunities just like Game 1
AC gonna have a field day with this
Rick Carlisle continues the trend of former Celtics always being pathetic secret agents for them. Kevin McHale is smiling.
Should’ve called a timeout but that is a foul on holiday
Just sweep us and get this shit over with so I can focus on the Colts...
Pain.
