“Indiana plays with great pace”
I guess you could call them…
JJ "Boston has Derrick White so its Boston in 5 for me"
I’m just happy the young pacers core is getting priceless playoff experience. If we lose, oh well. We’re ahead of schedule now
Exactly 😂 They don't understand that context. Can you imagine how this would go with a healthy Mathurin,???
@@Peacekeepa317 I’ve been saying this too. Mathurin being out hurts us as he adds another dynamic to the game when he’s in. Not to mention he plays hard on defense too
Pacers in 5
Gg Celtics in 4
Yeah, you're just like Atlanta when Ben Simmons got scared of Trae. That didn't harm Atlanta at all.
Boston - 2 losses in the playoffs
Wolves - 3 losses in the playoffs
Mavs - 4 losses in the playoffs
Pacers - 5 losses in the playoffs
wolves against champs, boston against injured teams
@@Yungkhalifa14took historic 3pt shooting performance from teams to beat them. Mitchell is a certified playoff performer not surprised he was able to get a game of Boston without Porzingis
@@Yungkhalifa14Boston is injured, just so you know!
@@Yungkhalifa14 wolves are scary, i’d much rather play dallas
5 losses against 2 injured teams. This is embarrassing but people are praising them acting like they did something
Tatum has no time to complain to the refs about fouls for this matchup
Where's Tommy?
Derrick white finals mvp script has been written
Nah. The NBA narrative is about the WNBA promoting Caitlyn Clark and this year's class of women players. They're gonna push the Pacers, mark my words. If there is a fixing or rigging of games, it's always a money grab by the owners and tv networks.
Aint no Way in hell boston beating the Wolves
@@vitorguerreiro3902 keep telling yourself that 😂
@@vitorguerreiro3902why not ant can’t beat the double team and Kat & gobert not cooking nobody lmao
@@vitorguerreiro3902wolves are built to beat nuggets... Boston doesn't just play pick and roll off there center
C's just need to be on point with their transition defense and rebounding.
The agenda against the Celtics at the moment is generational. People hate us so bad lmao
Celtics can’t get out of their own way in the playoffs. Particularly Tatum. It’d be cool to see them be great, but they haven’t shown it yet. If Kristaps is healthy, I think they win the chip. Otherwise, probably not.
No one knows that Bennedict Mathurin exists.
he’s injured
@cotysoliz Exactly. But no one mentions it. People act like Indy is 100%
Swear. He was legit our best iso scorer BY FAR this year. And an absolutely gigantic impact off the bench. Give people a break tho bc this is probably the first time they’ve watched us
@@TheApexPredatorRKO ohhh okay i see what u mean now but nah u ain’t wrong
Brilliant insight, what’s ur podcast?
Pacers don't have Benedict Mathurin - a KEY piece of their team.
It seems like everyone forgot that he’s an absolute dawg.
celtics dont have porzingis
It doesn’t matter lmao they weren’t winning this series if they had Jesus lining up for them. Boston just the better team by such a large margin
Derrick white is X factor this series.
As a pacers fan shoutout to the Knicks , the fact that they were severely injured and took us to 7 games is commendable . Their gonna be dangerous in the East for years to come as long as they keep their core and stay healthy
The fact yall beat a banged up Knicks team is commendable
@@jacksonbragg2742 wasn’t even tryna down talk the knicks dude.
@@jacksonbragg2742 injuries happen all the time we can’t control that. All that we know is the outcome that happened , the same with many playoff series in the past
@@jacksonbragg2742the fact we were cheated of game 1 changed a lot
Fans: This is bs! Refs are rigging games to help big markets!
Also fans: There's no way Pacers and Twolves are making the finals. Who would even watch that?
We deserve a Celtics-Wolves finals with games where neither team scores more than 90. Basketball junkies were tortured enough with no-defense basketball.. we deserve something else for the Finals.
Once you say we "deserve" it, you lose me. lol The two teams who earn their trip to the finals deserves to be there. Celtics and Wolves have to earn it. If you think the last few series hasn't had any defense then I don't know what to tell you. lol If you think them two in a series would be a low scoring finals then I also don't know what to tell you. All the team still in the playoffs can play defense and lock down when needed. All teams can also run up the scoreboard at any given moment as well. As a fellow basketball junkie for over 20 years, I say whoever wins deserves to be there.
People deserve what the earn.
your're written mavs out like they dont deserve to be here. Mavs will beat wolves in 7
@@Stopthecap24 With "deserve" I mean what the hardcore fans deserve to see. Im not talking about teams, Im talking about playstyles. I'll rather watch two defensive juggernauts go at each other and make EVERY BASKET COUNT as if its for their life than watch Mavs go at the Pacers scoring 390 points and the game is decided by who makes the contested 3 point shots more often.
@@zacharyhendershott Im not talking about what the players deserve. Read my comment and turn on your tiny brain. Im talking what the fans deserve.

celtics in 1
Pacers in 14
4-0 on the road
If Pacers have absurd 3pt. outlier games the series will go 6. Otherwise C's in 5 comfortably
Look at the next Lakers HC... So Inspirational man.
Boston in 5 or 6
JJ!
If the cers can steal one on the road with tingus out they will be very hard to beat at home that place is rocking during the playoffs don’t sleep on Indy now
stop it. celtics beat pacers by 51 this year.
The Celtics are 4-0 on the road in the playoffs
I would guess celtics between 5 and 6 games. The pacers are better than the previous two teams. Ill be surprised if it's a sweep
No they aren’t lmao they played injured teams and shouldn’t have even made it past round 1. They are gonna get cooked
did Ps beat Cs in mid season tourn?
#Celtics need to go deeper and TAG TEAM to maintain rhythm and health. Celtics bench needs to be utilize by #Mazzulla and the Jays need to be efficient. Payton, Sam, Xavier, Neemias & Luke should be called to step up in prevention of exhausting the starting lineups. Indiana has a good team and it is a good test for the Celtics to keep their feet on gas while playing team ball!
This series is gonna go 6 for no good reason. Celtics are just silly
Hahaha so true
Pacers are good enough to get one but if KP comes back the title is a wrap
I do think this series will be slightly tougher for the C's, but still pull it out. C's in 6☘️
Pacers are still the #2 offense in the NBA just saying.
@JKeemTV and dead last in defense…..
All 3 of you sounded so heartbroken during the broadcasts last series.
Don’t sleep on the Cers. Porzingis out the first 2 games is huge
The cers? Is that like a thing people call the pacers?
@@liampowers8570😂 hell no
@@Don_ZelleThaCreator it is dumbfuck but wouldn't expect a casual fan to know that
@@liampowers8570 yes
Wheres Tommy?
I'd be very surprised if the final was anything but Boston - Wolves. Mavs match up even worse to Wolves than Nuggets with worse players. Pacers are fine but if Boston gets everything they have on the court, it's not close. Question is - will Boston be able to perform this time around? Will Porzingis be healthy?
They announced KP back by game 3 but I say keep him out until the finals, why risk it?
I’m a Celtics fan who lives in Canada so I always got the raptors games so I know how underrated pascal siakam is before he got traded to the pacers and yall are sleeping on him. Hes gonna make it tough on JT and/or JB on defence, he can also shoot pretty well from mid range.
jj dyu think you can talk about your name being linked with lakers coaching job?
"keep you cards close to your chest". He's got nothing to gain from talking about it and only would open him to criticism in the media with people twisting his words and whatnot.
If the Pacers play with pace, they can beat the Celtics.
Pacers in 7
If Joe loses this series the Celtics will have a new coach next season
And it should be Sam Cassell
The Celtics and pacers series will boil down to two things who wants it more and which bench shows up more. It won’t be a sweep as soon as the Celtics take the pacers lightly that’s when they will lose
Lmfao 🤣 sure
I hope JJ gets a proper offseason/summer. Bro looks tired, rightly so
Will Kristaps get back though?
By game 3
Be carful backing Boston as a gambler in this series, they’re aren’t disciplined, they take bad shots, everyone is a streaky shooter but more importantly Indiana size on the board will be a factor. These quarters, halfs and games are going to closer than they should.
ISO ball will lose 2 games for Celtics this series. They need to run offense to get through this series
The pacers don’t even run offense like that so wtf are you talking about
so glad Marcus Smart is gone, all the Celtics fans crying and over hyping that dude. no drama, no stupid comments, no broken picture frames without him.
Jj scribbling hearts over LeBrons name.
☠️☠️☠️
Pacer haters in the chat 😂
Pacers overachieved, and did it against injured teams.
@@MrE_ the teams were injured because they had to overextend themselves against the much faster, younger, more athletic Pacers (with the exception of Giannis who was injured before the series). And the Pacers are also injured - Benn is out, and Hali played through back injury during the Bucks. You're just wrong, and you'll see why in a week.
Are u high the injuries had nothing to do with the pacerss
I love it. They'll make excuses for Boston as the series unfold like they did for Bucks and Nickerbockers. Keep sleeping on them. Keep basing your theories on the past and you'll miss what's happening today.
I was the 11th like
I’ll make sure this is on your grave stone
@@chazhasman7208 I appreciate it
That’s so fire bro
The only thing that can stop Boston is them imploding again.
or...ya know...that the Pacers have a deeper team, better bench scoring, better offensive rating, faster pace, and better coaching....that could also stop the Celtics....
@@TheFrygar we stopping all that nobody on the Indiana can stop jb & JT Celtics in 4
@@TheFrygarand all this to go 7 with the hospital knicks 😂
@@TheFrygar and they lost.
@@TheFrygar apparently not 😂😂😂😂
All the pressure is on Celtics , Pacers will just go there and have fun and I think they will be handful for Boston , hey they beat them 3 times this year so don’t get to cocky on these Pacers
We beat them 3 times too twice by 20
The pacers only beat them twice while the Celtics beat them 3 times. 1 being but 50 points
I believe game 1 will go to Pacers! Boston will not expect much from them. Everyone is saying Boston will clinch in 5 - for those who believe this, thier first loss comes today!
The problem is Boston has a habit of “playing with their food” and we just saw from Denver that you can’t do that with these upstart teams, no matter how much better you are on paper.
Denver was down in the series we not the nuggets 4-1 both series and we finna get another 4-1
pacers in 1
It kinda feels like JJ is interviewing Steve Jones for an assistant coach role. Anybody else getting that vibe?
Everybody hates Joe Cronin
Pacer are not ahead of any achedule ur not gonna get two teams completely injured again next season
It’s crazy you can listen to this 100 times and literally none of it is useful for dfs or gambling lol like literally nothing you can take from this and apply to win money with
Just tell Indiana to stay home.
Pacers will win the finals.
Put money on it
😂
Celtics in 6
In 4
Jj please don’t take the lakers job 🙏
Rick Carlisle has more wins than Red Auerbach, name 5 NBA coaches Joe Mazzula is better than.
whats the point? quinn snyder, steve clifford, monty williams, mike malone, tom thibodeau.
Boston are winning but no way they sweep. 3 point reliant teams are bound to have a bad shooting night and the pacers will shoot lights out at least one game. Wouldn't be surprised if it went to 6 games, but the ones where Boston wins will be blowouts.
2 high scoring teams. Pacers have the most ppg right above Celtics. I see Boston winning in 6. Pacers take game one
that’s a ridiculous take they take game one yea u are tripping the pacers just got down with a six game series then a seven game series they mentally and physically tired they are losing tonight
@@cotysolizThey are not tired at all. They don’t play crazy minutes, not even high minutes. They waltzed to their last two wins, they were easy. I predict they win tonight as well.
@@zacharyhendershott yup - the Pacers have the best bench in the league, which lets them rest their starters. That's why the Knicks all ended up in the hospital trying to beat them. People simply don't understand this.
@@TheFrygar They don’t watch man. They just had the best shooting performance in the history of the playoffs. Obviously that won’t continue at that level, but the Pacers have a historic offense, and a massively improved defense. I’m not even saying I’m picking the Pacers to win the series, but they have a real shot to do so. This is a way better matchup than casual fans realize.
@@TheFrygar And the point about them having the best bench is super crucial. They are by far the overall deepest team left in the playoffs.
Boston sweep
Facts
Pacers need another year of roster development but they’re coming
No they ain’t. Next year with all the other teams healthy they ain’t making this kinda playoff run. They have only faced badly injured teams
Pacers had the real Mickey Mouse run. Injured bucks and injured Knicks
No, they'll be like the Hawks. 1 and done.
@Mirage475 Indiana missing Mathurin.
@@TheApexPredatorRKO Are seriously trying to compare Mathurin to Giannis and Dame. Or 4 of the 5 Knicks starters being injured.
I wish JJ would mention d white, it seems like he doesn’t like him
Tryna match Indie’s pace is what got the Knicks in trouble, if the Celtics stick to their game this series goes to 5 games max
I disagree I think that’s when they actually found success when they tried to play slow they got fucked because pacers pressed them etc
Celtics avg 130 points vs pacers in 5 games this season lol 😊
Told ya
Better put JT on Tyrese or it’s gonna be trouble
You do know Celts have Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, two of the top defensive guards in the league? Or are you saying that the two of these guys can't check Hali?
Why would that even be a matchup lol, they’re only seeing eachother for switches.
Pacers v. Wolves
This’ll be another genetlemans sweep for Boston
It's likely to be much closer. Indiana is the top offense this season, but are mid-table on defense, while Boston is top 6 defense and 2nd on offense.
@@gabrielstorm3536 Boston are better than people want to admit. Indiana are playing well, but I think Boston will take a game in Indi and close it out at home
if porzingis comes back than it’s a sweep otherwise boston in 5
If Boston stays healthy they win but any injury to there bigs and they fall. I think Boston loses game 1 75% of the time regardless
That would me you’re wrong a lot considering they haven’t lost game 1 at all this year
Boston lost 1 to a banged up Cavs
Boston lives by thev3 ball
Pacers can win 2 games easily
So does Indy. Lol
@Holyisthelamb26 true but they're #1 offense all year tooo
Let's pretend that the Knicks weren't banged up!
@@victorabreu0825 Celtics were the #1 team in offensive rating this season, Pacers were #2.
@@JKeemTV pacers #1 offense ppg I meant
So Pacers got lucky with injured teams. But not the Celtics? Lmao give me a break
It's gonna be a good series, hope everyone is healthy
The pacers went 7 games with the injured Knicks. Celtics lost 2 games this postseason. You see no difference?
Name someone hurt on the Pacers because Porzingis the starting center and borderline All-Stars is injured
@@otislamar8613 Benedict Mathurin.
@@seththomas6727 i want whatever you're smoking if you think Mathurin has even 1/10th of the impact that Porzingis has
Pacers break teams. Pacers will break the Celtics. Celtics will fail again. Pacers in 5
With what defense 😂
Whatever pack you’re smoking off I need that
Can we get an update Jon? 😂😂😂😂😂
