Crazy part is that they can build an expansion team on draft picks too. It’s an Ainge wet dream.


Can they defend? 55 percent is ridiculous.

Jaylen 1-7 from the floor, I really hope he’s just struggling and not hampered by the knee
This is a BiG second half for Coach Mazzulla
I’d love to see Joe throw out a wrinkle or two in the 3rd, a three guard lineup or a double big, or Jordan Walsh to guard SGA full court or some tactical wrinkle … rather than just sticking to the script !!

Celtics bench being out scored 18 to 6, and that's with OKC missing quality players.
This is on Stevens, who didn't really improve the team at the trading deadline.

Our depth is being exposed because our best big is completely unreliable and Jrue has regressed.

Bench usually is great but it’s been weak against tough teams lately.

Jaylen has always struggled against handsy defences

He had some awful games against Miami in those playoff series we had

Anyone else beginning to worry Porzingis has some sort of serious health problem?

We haven't even seen them yet with all their big guns healthy. This just feels like a bad matchup for us.

We don't have our starting big either.

The beauty of only occasionally popping up in the game thread is that you can watch the game differently. We're down by 3, for crying out loud. Not sure why the pessimism, probably some toxic noise in this game thread.

Leaving now, enjoy the game guys and gals. See you on the post-game thread.
