That is why you foul. Now it’s going to ot. Can Indiana recover ? They had this game won.

Poor Job of coaching by Rick last 10 seconds of regulation. Pretty sure if he has his guys fouls they would have had a much better percentage chance to win the game. Boston was out of timeouts. Kind of a choke job by the Pacers.

Not poor coaching. Haliburton bounced ball off knee out of bounds up by 3. Couldn't get the ball in with 10 sec. left up by 3. Those cost them the game.

Agree to disagree the coach still could have fouled a Boston player up 3 with 10 seconds left. Boston had zero time outs left. The correct play is to foul. Make them make 2 free throws then you make your free throws and even if you miss Boston would have had to go the length of the court off a miss free throw. At least make it tougher on them.
Yes Halliburton was brain dead the last minute of regulation but the coach still could have bailed his team out.

Get the ball in the rest don't matter. Get it in, foul - just need 1 FT and games over.

Pacers choked choked choked choked. Couldn't believe they lost that game. Multiple costly mistakes by Hali.

Dallas won last night. Feels like a Luka vs. Tatum NBA Finals to me.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I suspect Indiana blew their chance when they messed up last night. About to go down 2-0.

 

[Cam]

Yep, Hali got hurt yesterday as well. Indy is toast.

The ECF is a wrap, and Dallas went up 2-0 last night in the WCF. Hope one of these series is competitive.

 

[biggunsbob]

Indiana just can’t close out games sadly.

 

[biggunsbob]

If Boston doesn’t win this year they may never win with this group.

I'm happy and sort of surprised my Celtics won game 3 after being down by a lot. They are doing this without KP since the playoffs started. The pacers losing haliburton is costing them now.

The mavs don't scare Celtics fans as much as the timberwolves with their bigs.

 

[Cam]

Mavs went up 3-0 last night as well. Both conference finals are pretty much decided, wonder if they'll both be sweeps.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pacers choked again. Hopefully the west can beat Boston.

 

[kalinecountry]

My Celtics are in the finals and aiming for Championship #18. Yeah Baby!!!!

Minnesota getting their asses kicked. Down 29 at half. Way to put up a fight.
