11/1: Pacers@Celtics

[Over Guapo Grande]

The Pacers coaches huddled together before meeting with the team during the TO, Obviously the HC is over his head.

 

[OnWisc]

Jaylen just glitched.

 

[luckiestman]

How long is Jrue Holiday. He reached way up for that board

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Jaylen is so tough when he plays uptempo....amiright Deathofthebambino?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

You're right

 

[benhogan]

Tyler Ford is good for a couple of bad calls/game

 

[Obscure Name]

Looked like a flagrant to me.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

I will never understand when that is a flagrant or not, seems fairly random.

 

[TrapperAB]

Man, this is a track meet.

 

[McBride11]

Tatum does not get a landing zone

 

[dhellers]

Remind me of what the Celts were snookered into giving up for DW?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That's a really awful call on Jaylen

 

[ifmanis5]

DW makes a great block almost every game.

 

[Average Game James]

Bam Adebayo would never make it out of the first quarter if that was called like that...

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Whoever the head ref is, wearing #46, hes been awful. Not sure he's made a call in the Cs favor yet, or this would really be ugly.

 

[JCizzle]

What in the world is that call?

 

[OnWisc]

Let’s play a little refball.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

We;ve seen that end of quarter play before, unfortunately

 

[OnWisc]

Honestly surprised it’s only a 21 point game. Doesn’t feel that close.

 

[TrapperAB]

Yeah, need to figure out something different to do at the end of quarters. That was hot garbage with a full 24. Initiate the play earlier in the clock!

 

[Gash Prex]

We;ve seen that end of quarter play before, unfortunately

you’d think after 5 years we’d have something a little better by now…

 

[Auger34]

With a 5-11 showing, I’m shocked at the lack of Jaylen slander thus far. I was expecting ilol@u to have a page long manifesto about how much he sucks

 

[Mooch]

I’m enjoying this year’s version of Tatum so far. Using his physicality in the post and a much cleaner/quicker three point stroke. Feels like he’s making another leap forward.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Remind me of what the Celts were snookered into giving up for DW?

Pick swap rights to our 2028 Finals opponent.

 

[luckiestman]

Refs bet unders on Zinger?

 

[OnWisc]

Nice to see Tatum getting the calls, but these refs also appear to suck, so….

 

[dhellers]

Pick swap rights to our 2028 Finals opponent.

Ouch

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

This team might be good.

 

[ifmanis5]

This team is a beast already.

 

[gammoseditor]

With a 5-11 showing, I’m shocked at the lack of Jaylen slander thus far. I was expecting ilol@u to have a page long manifesto about how much he sucks

He also has a turnover

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The cutting, movement, and passing tonight is way beyond what we've seen before. It's really fun to watch.

 

[scottyno]

He's been everything they need and more over the last 2+ games.

It's really not fair that someone as good as KP can have a near invisible night and it doesn't fucking matter because of everyone else they have

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Tatum is on one of those heaters that he could score a lot but he won't likely see the floor in the fourth.

 

[JCizzle]

Ouch

Oops.

[joe dokes]

Porzingis looks like a lunk when he runs, but he really glides around pretty smoothly in the half court defense.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

This is what Jaylen should do against every Hield-level defender teams try to get away with

 

[luckiestman]

This shits crazy

 

[scottyno]

This is what Jaylen should do against every Hield-level defender teams try to get away with

How many teams have enough good defenders to cover everyone? Like 2?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its in games like this where you can see how some players get sloppy. I am noting it right now with one of the starters but will refrain from naming them because (a) my perception could be incorrect and (b) I don't want to start any more things in the game thread. We already have the Jaylen ridiculousness - we dont need more.

 

[Average Game James]

Good timeout. Lead down to only 31.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This team is wow.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

How many teams have enough good defenders to cover everyone? Like 2?

How many have enough scorers to put points up against the Celts defense when it matters?

 

[Devizier]

Jrue is so fucking good, it’s nice to see the advanced metrics backed by the eye test.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I just took Pacers +31.5 on the assumption that our garbage squad will completely shit themselves in the fourth again.

 

[OnWisc]

You can go ahead and spend those winnings now.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Yeah - that's why whoever has the stiff has to take advantage of it aggressively!

I am not sure the answer is anyone. Miami can go Bam/Butler/Richardson/Martin (not Vincent anymore)....but not really another guy.

 

[TrapperAB]

Nesmith’s gotten bigger.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Only 13 assists on 33 buckets. Can’t watch - just one-on-one roasting crappy defenders?

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

JAYSON TATUM

 

[ifmanis5]

Tatum is him.
