NBA Playoff Games 2025, Non-Celtics

[OnlyTheTruth]

You guys think this will hurt NBA ratings ?

Tell me again how you don't need a real MVP caliber for games like these.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Seriously, there are two separate sets of rules for how you're allowed to defend in any game involving OKC or Orlando and anyone else.

I love this new era of parity where one team just rips through the league unfettered from start to finish.

Well I loved it a lot more when it was the Celtics doing it but still.

OKC defense feels like it was built in a lab. Or it must be AI. Our stagnant stand-around one-pick-up-top, one-pass offense would've been its kryptonite though. They're lucky to have not faced us.

OKC whopping that ass.

SGA is a heck of a player. Wish we had a guy like that . That’s not one dimensional just shooting 3s.

[Fierce1]

OKC whopping that ass.

They deserve it.

OKC is not a flashy team, but they play the right way.

They are the new standard now.

We won the chip before okc, but congrats on your congrats to them!

We have one.

Our guy is just not utilized for optimal performance.

You really think if Daigneault is coaching our guy, our guy would jack up that many 3s?

What we have is a product of the Brad Stevens coaching tree.

It’s like C’s fans forgot about Banner 18. Talk about a bunch of spoiled/entitled brats lol. Anyone watching the C’s knew JB wasn’t right. KP. Non existent and JT’s injury was the nail in the coffin. That being said , how sweet it was last year! We’ll be back

Idk. Like Fierce mentioned we have to change our style of play.

They are lucky not to face us from one perspective (assuming we were healthy). That is, every first time finalist says it's different and it hits you mentally. They are lucky they will face another first time finalist and not the Celtics who have been there twice.

True that, we def relied on the three ball too much. Not sure our Head Coach is doing anything to improve our chances on the sidelines either. We can tweak some things but I’m banking in a reload not a rebuild like many fans have mentioned. Warriors had a different roster each title run, we can do the same.

I still believe we played that way because we were tired. We won a chip and had been playing late in the playoffs most of the jays careers. The injuries didn’t help matters, but honestly I was saying the same thing earlier in the season. The players looked tired all season. Short offseason and all that winning/celebrating will take you down a peg.

Given real time to let the body heal and rest, real time to ramp things back up and I bet you will see us playing well again. Without Tatum, who knows how far we can go, especially with a revamped team. I really think players will look more refreshed next season.

[Fierce1]

If the Cs are a top 4 team in the east next season, my money is on JT returning in March and we'll be on our way to another deep playoff run.

Joe just needs to tweak the offense.

If it's "same old, same old" Mazzulla-Ball, I don't think Banner 19 will be in sight.

Pacers-OKC should be really fun.

[Fierce1]

Pacers-OKC should be really fun.

Have to agree.

[London2Boston]

I don’t understand the finance part at all. How soon will the CBA screw over this OKC team?
