We’re lucky to be up. We don’t look good
Jrue’s offense is offensive
We’re good at defense
What is the justification behind Kornet, PP, and Hauser all on the floor at the same time
Low scoring quarter: let’s see who settles down first
Interesting. Playoff defense but October rotations
Kornet is Greg Stiemsma with better bench celebrations
Celtics defense is looking really good and our 9-10 players playing
Pretty awful last possession of the quarter. Gotta turn it up
Need Tatum to get into the game doesn’t have to force it but got to at least play with control and make the right reads this Indiana team will let you score
Really fucked up that last 38 seconds but other than that, can’t be that mad about that quarter especially considering the way it started.
Tatums whole energy is off and has been for weeks.
Why bring Tatum in if we are just going to feed the non nba player Kornet ? Do we have a coach ? Man wish we had Ime back
pretty solid defensive quarter. but just two guys having more than 1 FG made is rough, def need more diverse scoring
Without Bruce Browns bs 3, they’d be under 20 lol
The best offense in history was held to 22 points by the Boston Celtics.
Let’s keep that up!
What are you guys using to watch this? NBATNT won’t load for me, and NBA.Com has the horrible camera views.
first 5.5 minutes they scored 15, last 6.5 minutes they’ve scored 7.
great work closing out that quarter.
I just don’t get how are best players consistently get shutout of the offense for periods throughout the game. Like what exactly is causing that?
Teams really see 3 white dudes and think “bbq chicken” but clearly don’t read the scouting report
Omg I put money on Celtics -1.5 Q1 and Fanduel was showing Q1 as 24-23. Thought I lost, but then I saw the score was actually 24-22. Wow
Kornet can’t make a layup lol
If we didn’t miss so much layups, the score would be real good. Other than those not a bad start, it seems like we are answering their pace game well, especially on defense leading to fast breaks. Tatum still seems off, that is concerning if the game stays close. I hope this is the game he is really coming back strong.
Holding these Pacers with a healthy Hali to 22 in the 1st is an achievement in and of itself. I’m mainly worried about the 4th though, our starting center is 37, if the Pacers can make it a track meet they might start getting by Horford down the stretch. Just gotta keep playing tough ☘️
Tatum tells PP to give him the ball on the final possession and he he waved Tatum off hahah
I have a *feeling* that Hauser & Pritchard may have big nights…
When will we finally see Kornet on my favourite team Guandong Sharks? Our fanbase is thrillingly waiting for him to finally sign with us! WHY IS HE STILL NOT HERE??
Play defense for 4 quarters
Why do we have some random brain dead offensive possessions? Holiday should’ve shot that corner 3 off the offensive rebound!!
We need to keep up the defensive intensity. Once l our threes start falling…oof
This just feels like a game that can get away from us if Tatum can’t start scoring and continuing plbeing a negative impact player like he’s been the last few weeks.
Keep them out of transition and it’s an easy double digit win.
get kornet the fuck out of this game please give me queta
So Tatum just not going to hit a jumper tonight? We’re fucked
We just held one of the highest scoring offenses in the NBA to 22. I know we’re supposed to be mad but I’m impressed
Kornet still useless and counting we need a fucken back up 5 so bad
“thats an offensive foul on evan turner” is a crazy call scal
Tatum hasn’t looked good the last few games
Kornet what a beautiful pass wow
They make every shot on Luke
Nice pass by Luke to JT
THAT BOY JRUE
Why stick with this lineup after the shitty end of the 1st quarter?
the stepback ruined the league
