As a Celtics fan, finally seeing this team be clutch is deadly. This team has expirience in big games. Tatum, Brown, White, and Horford were in the finals just 2 years ago, and Jrue was a big piece in Milwaukees run in 22. Today's win showed how this team has matured, even since the very first game of the season against the Knicks. Banner 18 is 5 wins away...
As a fellow Celtics fan, we are very VERY fortunate that we figured out how to win in the clutch because we struggled with that a bit during the regular season. We have to be better obviously, but clutch wins in the playoffs are far more exciting than blowing out the Pistons or something. And a 3-0 lead with 2 INSANE wins in a series where if we werent clutch in 2 of the games, we'd be down 1-2. But at the end of the day, we are five wins away from 18 🍀
A behind the back pass In that situation is insane😂😂😂 me and every other person in Celtic nation from the owner down to our newest bandwagon fan would no longer have hair, a tv, or a voice if he messed that up😂😂😂
Well yeah cause the pacers aren’t actually that good. They had the real Mickey Mouse run and 2/3 games now they’ve played a boston team that clearly isn’t trying their best and are missing Porzingis
@@frankie3791 I swear I have done this, regrettably the Celtics Nets round one, when Tatum got the game winning layup. Told myself I wouldn't miss out on one again lmfaoo
@@justanobody0 oh c'mon man. Loo at who the pacers have faced (injuries included) versus who the nuggets lost to. One liner's that sound cool but lack context don't mean anything.
Why are some people in this comment section treating the Celtics like nobodies? They won 64 games during the regular season and are the #1 seed in the East. They beat the Heat 4 games to 1. They beat the Cavs 4 games to 1. Why did people think this series would be any different from the first two rounds?
Because Pacer's fans won two series against injured teams and it inflated their egos. Them making it to the conference finals might as well be a ring in their eyes with how that franchise has been since Reggie.
Because the western conference finals are supposed to have the best teams in the east play against each other? Plus the heat and the cavs didn’t have their best players. The Celtics lucked out.
What? Pacers are the 6th seed going up against the #1 seed. This series is playing out exactly how anyone should have expected it to, considering how much better the Celtics are to the rest of the East.
@@poptropicawilliam Late turnovers and blown games are not uncommon in basketball. Especially against a far superior team like the Celtics. This ain't the "choke" you think it is.
Wow, how do you blow a 8 point lead with 2 mins left? These moments are going to haunt the Pacers for years to come. They should be up 2-1, now they are down 0-3. Shagrin.
@@clarkness77 it is when the clock is running down low... nd all you have to is either stop the other team from scoring, or run the score up until its no more time
that's the celtics game plan. they can all hit an open 3 so you can't sag off anybody. everything he hit was open 3s so no surprise at all. i guess the pacers just chose to double off horford as their defensive game plan and he made them pay.
LFG Celtics!!! Big AL deserves a ring I want this man to get one, KG came here and got one with Pierce and Allen and now it's Brown and Tatum...Nembhard balled his heart out, he forced 3 bad plays at the end though
Cs defense was tight all game. just the middle part nembhard and mcconnell were making ridiculous shots over bigger dudes. but that shit's not sustainable and it came to an end in the 4th.
i would say they just cooled off their ridiculous shooting in the middle of the game. cuz i seriously doubt nembhard and mcconnell are that good. how they closed the game is probably more representative of the gap between the teams. Cs stick to the game plan while the pacers need ridiculous heatcheck nights just to lose a close one.
@@EshDerp1425_Monke Yeah, and Pacers are up by 18 in the first half, had held the lead in the entirety of the game until the final minutes when Jrue became a defensive genius. Just because Haliburton isn’t playing is not a good excuse when the Pacers have the advantage.
The Pacers have a very good future if they keep this core intact, win or lose. Their main star have been out because of injuries but they did battle against a Celtics (without Porzingis) and had a good series.
I don't think Tatum receives enough credit for his passing! He made several behind the back passes that turned into valuable 3 point shots, like from those that Horford made. Had Hauser been shooting the way he normally does, we would've run away with it.
Hauser has been shooting like crap all post season man. I think we need to let him go soon because his legit only job is to shoot the three well. If he isn’t doing that he does nothing for us.
@@Nick-sr4fehe’s just on a cold streak and he’s been playing great defense. He had the 7th best defensive rating in the regular season, so no need to get rid of him 😂
This was a good win how they came back from being down they are a very smart team and mature remember celtics been here before i see why they got rid of smart and got jrue that pass he did is nice
Announcer says "there's plenty of time for the Pacers." With 2 seconds on the clock and Celtics shooting free throws on the opposite end of the court. Oh....OK.....
It’s so nice to see the Celtics perform like this down the stretch, usually during clutch time they’d be making stupid plays, having miscommunication, stupid turnovers, and bricking but here even though the Pacers were up they just kept playing great. Shows how much they have matured, last year Celtics would have probably just given up.
"Only reason Pacers got close is cause they was basically hitting everything" "got close", they were up 18 and yea, if a team is hitting everything, usually they should be competitive they also were hitting everything against New York in game 7, shot like 80% early on
Offensively and Defensively, this is what you can almost expect to see a healthy Jrue Holiday do in clutch situations. I think the saying is, "He is not new to the game, h's Jrue to the game......"
Celtics have proven they have the mental toughness to get the job done in the Postseason. It doesnt matter who comes out of the west this is their title to lose. They can only beat themselves at this point

I love when Al Horford makes those "annoying 3s". Those 3s where it hurts because the other team thinks he's too old to hit it
what i have learnt in this playoff so far: which team had the big lead, which team would lost the game.
