The Official NBA Thread: Pacers-Celtics Game 2 on ESPN / Celtics Lead 1-0

Of course you can’t bench gobert. After everything you gonna ride this out

But did naz even play in the 4th? I legit don’t remember noticing him

Joker had 16 in the 4th. Just waiting on the highlights to get posted

(KAT is probably my bigger concern if I were Minnesota. His ability to short-circuit and be detrimental on both ends is astonishing.)

Hali really pulled up like this

then proceeded to run those guys out of the gym

Pacers in 6

Yea this is less of a Gobert problem and more of a KAT problem

He's not a legit #2. Unreliable. This 2 big lineup wont work.

[Vincent Van Goat]

The KAT slander been brewing all year

He was always gonna be their scapegoat

Sucks how they did him, considering how much better their season went when he wasn’t hurt and could actually play

Guess those Google Pixel magic editor commercials are working.

Can't allow the Nuggets to be plus while Joker rests. You're dead meat if that's the case.

That was the game right there. Not sure why the convo is around Gobert.

I think I wore something similar on Easter when I was a kid in the 90s

Some runway looks are meant to stay on the runway.

It’s very similar to what my theater troupe and I were wearing for Shakespeare in The Park After Dark.

jokic gonna get his. You can’t have AG drop 27 cough cough Lakers. Jamal is back making plays.

But mahn that 8 point swing in like 25 seconds to end half was a killer.

all denver needs is one of them. now they waiting on the MPJ game. nuggets role players starting to show up

 

[picasso swerve]

I think Nuggets gonna win the next 2. Pressure on the Wolves now to win on the road. Murray got some rest for his calf and now he look springy af. They have all the momentum.

Potentially Mavs vs Nuggets would be another very entertaining series.

West playoffs so much more lit than the East.

27 bench points is HUGE. Feel like when I check boxscore on past games the bench colletively will have maybe 12-16 points. If they get 20+ thats ball game.

BBQ chicken.

pressuring Jokic works when you have Gobert shutting down the rim.

Here’s tape from this series, Naz in ISO (Slow-Mo), no help, Gobert is not playing. I want Naz on Jokic. Playing Naz against non-Jokic minutes doesn't help because I want him on Jokic. Theres no one who's really slowing down Jokic (not Bam, not AD), but Naz has been doing as good as a job anyone.

people saying he needs to be benched for Naz reid, when the non jokic bench units are roasting the no Gobert line ups

that's just crazy.

I want Naz Reid in Jokic minutes. Zero Naz Reid in non-Jokic minutes, get Gobert in, he'd be great vs AG in non-Jokic minutes.

 

[elpablo21]

Yall trying to turn Naz into the new Rui when it comes to Joker

[Vincent Van Goat]

Keep in mind KAT DEF RTG tonight: 116.4 and Gobert's was 120.9. Jus sayin

 

[Brownstone]

Ooof, tough loss. Call me Sway cuz I have no answers

Our bench is shrinking, theirs is expanding. I don't even like Towns but I can't hate on his performance, he was due for an off game. Walkers confidence has taken a nosedive on offense. McDaniels needs to come with it man, he supposed to step up on offense, but this has been him all season tbh.

I will say this though, If Denver keeps shooting like this I can't even hate on us losing Our defense has been good, they just hitting everything. Tough to sustain over 3 straight games, but these the champs. Should be a great game 5

Coppin pleas We saw it in Utah, we're seeing it now.
