Contrasting styles, huh?

When OKC needs to ISO, they can't do it because they love to move the ball.

Now that the Cs stopped their great ball movement, OKC can't do **** because they can't ISO.

Personally don’t want to see Al or KP play the rest of the regular season. If they do, limited minutes only please.

Is it possible because OKC has such a thin front court and KP cannot be muscled as much??

That's a huge factor yes. I think he had 34 in the first matchup.

Unreal

Tatum, Zinger & Al carry us while 7 is awful, & Derrick & Jrue are quiet.
OKC comes back at us.
And then 7, Derrick & Jrue literally explode!

Wow, beautiful basketball over the past few mins.

Good ball movement, nice flow to the offense..everyone locked in, playing as a cohesive unit.

Looking like champions.

JUst don't want to get too carried away, since this is OKC without their 2 best players..

Like I said, you just have to wait and this bunch of Celtics will get there.

It took them a while, especially JB, but when it was winning time, JB showed up.

This win solidifies Joe's chances of winning coach of the year.

First 60-win season for the Cs since 2009.
