Daily Discussion Thread - May 02, 2024

The Boston Celtics have been eliminated from the playoffs after falling to the Indiana Pacers in the knockout stage. The Celtics fought hard but were unable to overcome the Pacers' defense and lost the game by a score of 112-98. The Celtics finished the regular season with a record of 55-27 and were the top seed in the Eastern Conference. However, they struggled in the playoffs, losing to the Miami Heat in the first round and the Pacers in the knockout stage. The Pacers will now advance to the semi-finals against the Milwaukee Bucks or the New York Knicks. The Bucks and Knicks are currently tied 2-2 in their series. The Celtics' loss is a disappointing end to a season that began with so much promise. The Celtics were considered one of the favorites to win the championship, but they were unable to live up to expectations. The Celtics will now have to regroup and prepare for next season. They will have a lot of work to do, but they will be determined to make a deep run in the playoffs next year.
