Thanks for being even handed. Celtics hate right now in the media is way overdone. There's reasons to be critical for sure, but media as a whole acting like they're a shit team when they're 9-2 in playoffs and Vegas favorite
it's just because basketball discourse is trash. Every team is called a "fraud" or "soft" or doesn't have "the killer mentality" or "the will to win" or whatever unscientific bullshit they limp to the barn with. Ant went from "the next MJ" to "a garbage role player" and back again in like 2 weeks.
@@coleslawcollagedsure, but the scrutiny is contradictory because the same people who hold the Celtics to an unrealistic standard are the people who don't believe they deserve that standard because "they're not really that good".
I don't know what the Celtics want. Everybody said you'd sweep the Pacers and you were odds on fav to win it all all year. I'm a Pacers fan ... THATS hate. The whole NBA world was praying for Celts Knicks. Please.

@benjaminschocket-greene5629 it really is, but honestly I think more so among fans than the media. Basketball fans in general have become incredibly stupid.
This is probably the ideal game for Joe Mazzulla. He gets a win but also a lot of failure tape he can use. The only thing that would have made it better for him would be Rick Carlisle challenging him to a fight.
Great job Jason. You did your homework and you're on point. But I contribute most of Boston's bad defensive execution to lack of ball pressure and laziness.
As a Celtics diehard the last thing I wanted is for them to think this would be easy, I don’t like that mindset. Indy are a great, athletic and young team and will punish you by outscoring you if you slack off. Nearly losing game 1 will cement the proper mindset for the series going forward and I’m all for it 🍀👍
You think the Celtics got blown out at home in G1 with that title but I also get the overreactions with the game being so close and how this should be an easy cruising series for the Celtics, but honestly give the Pacers their credit. They're a high powered fast paced offensive machine with depth.
I think Porzingus is the Key for the defense as well. Hes more athletic, longer, and taller than Al. I feel like KP wouldnt get cooked on a switch onto a guard because hes long enough to recover. I think KP and Al have similar quickness but just vastly different tools. Al is better at guarding bigger/stronger match ups than small/ fast matchups
Jason, I've followed your work for about 2 years now and you are the best in the business. You really give some hope in the NBA media which is mostly unwatchable. Obviously, as a LeBron fan you cover the Lakers a lot because it also generates a lot of clicks but you are still incredibly subjective to any topic. Continue the great work, people that actually care about in depth analysis and breakdowns of the sport rather than listening to a bunch of hot takes on ESPN etc really appreciate you! Thank you!
Maybe Hauser can be absolved, based on this. This also shows that you must: have feet set seeing ball seeing man, don't switch over the top, jam the screener, and have some kind of back side help in drop coverage among other things. Nesmisth is very chippy watch it, we don't want are bigs getting hurt anymore than they have been already.
Boston could use some Tillman minutes before Porzingis can return. That plus the Nesmith adjustment should give them much better ball screen defense, which was their biggest peoblem in game 1.
Why Mazzula is not using Tillman is a mystery, though he was not available for the first game. He moves his feet and plays tough against the big....and can also shoot inside and out....with him on the floor there are no weaknesses
I don't get it... How do people claim media hate for their teams when they are literally All thats talked about. Whereas the Pacers are rarely mentioned and expected to lose. They was supposed to be swept by the Bucks... they were supposed to be swept by the Knicks... and now swept by the Celtics. Its old now... Give my people credit
Media are biased. Most normal fans like myself definitely giving the pacers credit and actually wonder why they were 6th seed. They're a lot better than the record shows.
Celtics probing, playing with their food. In the process almost lost. They had the lead majority of the game. If game two is this close then we have something to talk about. If Boston smokes them? Conversation is over...
Pacers did what they have been doing all season. They are entirely capable of beating Boston. The Celtics just need to be more focused and disciplined on defense. Indiana gifted them sufficient opportunities to steal this game, and to their credit, they took advantage of them. On to Game 2.
mailbag: what are your thoughts on scottie pippen being tatum's player comp? they both are great at defense and rebounding, good at scoring and passing, and both are inconsistent offensively.
@@ThePh4ntomHammer reread the comment... the Celtics would dominate running the same offensive scheme. Also you clearly are just replying to reply.. I stated that the Cs currently don’t move the ball enough either.
@mt_2330 no it sounded like you were saying the celtics don't pass the ball around enough they definitely do in fact they had a few turnovers due to passing to much

Are you a Boston fan? I mean I don’t understand why the overwhelming favorites need a vid on how to play as such. It makes no sense. THE PACERS LOST; how do they win. Disregard if you’re a Boston fan tho because that will track.

I do not think the players think any series is going to be easy or that a team is going to play down. You take these wins one game at a time.

Hoops “Oh Shit” Tonight 😂
I remember hali said their switching on the mic. So i guess that was a game plan.
And why celtics were better the few times they went into zone.
excellent work by Timpf here

Boston came from vacation. And they looked it. They definitely dodged the game. WoW
Soooo...how much specifically does Indiana have to win to stop getting treated like a non-entity?
2 games
Boston garden nowhere near as hostile as MSG. As a pacers fan I'm giving them 40% chance to beat boston. They matchup well
you sure they goin to beat the Pacers next game, they dont seem to match up well...
Pacers have to win game 2. To have a chance at this series
If Celtics win game 2 i think it'll be another gentlemen's sweep.
Did Celtics go zone in this game for a few possessions?
Celtics would dominate running this offense but there’s not enough ball movement with the Celtics currently
The pacers had 4 more assists lol
