If we stop hitting threes this could get really ugly.

Sga is the new Harden to the refs

My money is on the C's in a 7-game series.

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.

We were 100% in OKC earlier and they looked dominant in the second half

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

Ageeed

I hope some people around here stay away from trading stocks if they live in an apartment building with more than 3 floors.

These dudes don’t miss

this might be too many 3s

Worst part is our bench has to come back in eventually

Real danger of this game getting away from them. Spamming threes isn’t going to work this game

Oklahoma City just wants it more. Much smarter team and more physical. Better shot selection etc.

Setshot33 · Post #230 » by **Setshot33** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:03 am

No ball movement. Too much watching one guy dribble and jacking a three. Celtics need to make the defense move.

Yes I think they are a bad matchup for us.

They’re like a souped up Miami from 2022/2023 who play the sort of physical defence that gave us fits and their offence is much better.

I still don’t know if they survive the West though.

Who knows what happens in the playoffs but tonight OKC is a more disciplined offense and they’re executing what they need to do defensively. Fouls baiting doesn’t hurt.

That’s who they have been this whole season and people thought i was crazy. Last year they were more balanced and took more 2 point attempts.

Jakeopp · Post #234 » by **Jakeopp** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:04 am

This team isn't good enough outside of JT and White. Horford is too old to be starting, Holiday still isn't healthy and JB cant help but contribute to the other team.

Shamrock23 · Post #235 » by **Shamrock23** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:04 am

OKC is just a smarter team. They know when to pass or shoot.

Against this team, I'd rather have Sabonis over Brown because the Celtics are getting killed down below and they have Jalen's number...

This Celtics team is pathetic. Nothing like last year’s team. Again i can’t stress enough the lack of being a 2 point team.

Now that OKC has taken away the three, we got nothing.

Brown a no show.

Completely CLAMPED lol. This is a special OKC defense
