OKC just got a lot better shots and run a lot better offense.
The idea of run a middle screen up top every time for a 3PTA
And hunt matchups every other time
Is just way too predictable and them knowing what we’re gonna do is what let’s them be so physical because they’re never off balance

Not if Oklahoma City is in the final.

Dude we get it.

You hate the Celtics.

Off to the OKC board, Knicks board or whoever the hell you actually root for

I was waiting for someone else to ask what this dude deal was.

So you’re saying they need the matchups to be right? That’s like yoo saying the Celtics caught a break last year with the matchups.

No I’m saying this game means nothing. Period.

Oh, Brown, Holiday, and the bench out classed, and there goes the ball game...

ConstableGeneva · Post #466 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:57 am

We have the better team man-to-man but OKC is very well-coached and are the more disciplined team. From the start, I thought they're the team that can knock us out in a series. But we'll see if things change when we have KP, if we ever get KP back.

Celts shoot 21-31 from 2 but jack up 61 3's at 31%. Stupid.

Only got to the line 10x vs OKC's 31 because of all those jacked up 3's.

Game plan by Joey Boy stunk.

Just a couple of months ago he was telling everyone how **** we are and how the Knicks will beat us.

He’s clueless

60 3 point attempts. That’s not basketball.

My bad I didn’t know you have the final say in all things basketball. Forgive me your highness

So basically Brown has to be dog **** and KP has to be out just for the Celtics to lose the game in the final 3 minutes of the game.

That doesn't sound like something is bank on in the finals. We all know the ref whistle goes to the veteran team and not the rookie. See 2022 finals for example.

Celtics in 5.

It is but I think in the playoffs OKC going to be officiated a lot differently

That first game we missed a bunch of open shots and still came close.

Call me when they beat us when KP is in there.

They can get away with hosting up 60 3s against other teams.

Nothing wrong with the passes. Whoever's in the post can't hold their spot for whatever reason. Defenders can't go around you to tap ball if you're demanding it inside. Refs also allowing A TON of contact on those.
