Celtics (25-7) at Pacers (17-13) Game #33 12/18/17

I wish Brad had subbed in Kyrie for Rozier on the final play.  Instead we get a Rozier prayer that had .00001% chance of going in.

That shot should be the end of Rozier's night if there was any justice.  Just awful tonight

[liam]

A LOT of phantom fouls tonight!

Oh okay, lets just play the blame game here... 

 

OK ghost fouls!

[CelticSooner]

Why the H is Rozier taking that shot?!

[Snakehead]

I'm annoyed with Stevens for having Rozier bring up the ball in these situations and with some of these lineups.  Why would it not be Smart??  The dude can't pass or score.  Basically all Rozier is good for reliably is hitting an open jumper.

Lead goes *poof*

12 points is not a lead??

Now back to 17. No need to worry.

2nd Quarter has been horrible for this team. Hopefully not today.

Celtics outscored by two point. Not horrible,though not good either.

[Phantom255x]

Really Rozier... SMH.

But overall great end to that quarter. 

[Vox_Populi]

Trash refereeing tonight. And I typically reserve my complaining for the Celtics players.

Starters stemmed the tide. Refs have not been kind to the C's either.

16 to freaking 7 on fouls. Like, seriously, do they not recognize the huge disparity of fouls that they're giving out?

And just watch - now they'll artificially change their officiating in the second half to make up for the disparity. It's just insane. There's literally no objective, consistent standard.

One, your calculations are off.

Two, Kyrie has three fouls. If he got another here it would be a problem in the second half.

Geez Louise jp, make sure your head doesn’t explode.

This has been Marcus Smart's weirdest game this season. He's shooting lights out but his passing and defense have been suspect. I'm not sure if I like this kind of game from Marcus Smart.

I saw the 3 fouls.  Kyrie is a smart player.  I don't think he'd do something reckless enough to risk getting his 4th, and at the same time could have created a good look for himself.

I'm ok with it for the moment
