Celtics were +3 offensive rebounds and +7 opp. turnovers in a game they won by 5 in overtime
Jrue Holiday: 5 offensive rebounds, 3 steals
A guard in his 15th NBA season, and will turn 34 next month. – 11:32 PM

Wild, wild win for the Celtics as they were left for dead late in regulation. But they stun the Pacers in a 133-128 overtime win in Game 1 to take the 1-0 lead in the East Finals. Jayson Tatum had 36 points while Jrue Holiday had 28. Game 2 is Thursday at the Garden. – 11:02 PM

The Celtics finally get an insane win in this postseason. Jayson Tatum still is ice cold shooting, but he hit the big one to clinch the victory and his aggressiveness and composure in overtime was massive. Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown had some major defensive moments to get them – 11:01 PM

What an insane game.
An unbelievable pass by Jrue Holiday to Jaylen Brown in the corner, Pascal Siakam has a chance to foul – but doesn’t – and Brown fires in a missile to tie this game with 5.7 seconds to go.
Indiana, once again, does not foul up 3 in the playoffs and pays. – 10:36 PM

Reece Beekman: “I like guys like Derrick White. He’s pretty good. I think TJ McConnell for the Pacers, he’s a pesky guard who gets in the lane, makes plays on offense, and defense just picks it up full court. Just making it hard on the other teams’ guys. Just trying to learn different stuff from them so I can use this offseason.” -via HoopsHype / May 21, 2024

The executive said that James belongs on every team’s top 100. Is he a clear top-58 in this year’s draft (two selections have been forfeited)? That’s subjective relative to a front office’s player evaluation preferences, but it’s reasonable for James to end up on an NBA team next season via draft or as a two-way player. -via Bleacher Report / May 21, 2024
However, James is not getting attention exclusively because of his father. One former Eastern Conference executive noted that James is a significantly better prospect than Kostas Antetokounmpo was in the 2018 draft (selected by the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 60 on behalf of the Dallas Mavericks). In that case, he was chosen more because it might curry favor with his brother Giannis Antetokounmpo, and his NBA career was appropriately brief. -via Bleacher Report / May 21, 2024
Bronny’s freshman year at USC was underwhelming from a scouting standpoint. He ended the season averaging 4.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 27.3% from behind the arc. There’s hesitation in his 3-ball and he didn’t assert himself on offense enough this season, playing alongside two ball-dominant guards in Collier and Boogie Ellis. Where he’s most impactful is on the defensive end. Bronny can defend both positions in the backcourt, keeping players in front, and is an excellent rebounder for his size. He’s gotten stronger since last year and does a good job at establishing position when the shot goes up. “He’s a very smart player and has a solid feel for the game,” one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports. “He needs more time to develop, but the fundamental mechanics are there.” -via Yahoo! Sports / May 21, 2024
