If we manage to chuckball our way to a win here then the other NBA fans aren't gonna be very happy

They‘re smarter team. They don’t chuck 3s . Do we have anyone that can take it to the hole? Maybe post up? Ball movement?

I'm far more worried OKC is shooting 60%

They made it to the playoffs with the 3ball last year. How is it surprising we are capable of shooting 50+ 3’s when we want?

I will say this isn’t anywhere near the energy they had against the Lakers or the first half against the Cavs a couple weeks ago. Don’t know if that’s all OKC’s doing. The vibe is just different.

It's a weird game stylistically, with all our threes against their twos. Seems like they're way out playing us and yet we're only down two.

C's need to get more stops imo. OKC shooting almost 60% from the floor.

Who said anything about surprising? People moan and complain about Celtics shooting 3s all the time so it's no surprise.

I don’t think how Boston is playing is sustainable for this game. They go cold from three they’re gonna be down 20.

Wheeling and dealing

What a move by Tatum.

We’re shooting 100 3’s tonight! Lol. We can’t out muscle these guys? We need to get super physical with this team in order to break their defense like the 80’s Celtic team

Who gives a crap what anybody says? They’re NBA champs

Holiday losing his shot isn't ideal

Why does Kenrich Williams do that thing with the hair at the back of his neck? That's weird right??

X2

Also they’re playing the old brand of panic ball.

I normally don’t care about KP being out but this wouldn’t be a bad game to have him. Queta needs some burn as well

Wait, so if the gameplan is shoot the 3ball and they win that’s not good enough?

great floater

I like that we're not forcing our offense. Just taking what OKC is presenting us with. Turnovers are down.
