It was a bad effort. Settled for too many 3s. Got pushed around constantly. Brown was terrible. Nothing from the bench. On to Cincinnati.

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

Game plan by Joey Boy stunk.

This is a bad matchup for us.



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

Different game if they didn't call that Tatum travel ... or if they didn't call all the SGA and Chet flops.

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



You’re a Homer with the pom Poms . This is not the sen team as last year. Not even close.


This dude thinks I'm a homer. LOL.

Tell me you don't know **** about me without telling me you don't know ****.

Too late Pritchard. Should have shown up before the game was over.

Moving him in the off-season should be a priority...he's consistently a no-show against every contending team.

Sga did his thing, but i thought from the 2nd half of the 2nd q we defended him much better. Just have to bother him in the playoffs and we are better, it’s the same with DM.

OKC is just better.

Makes you question Brad's roster construction when guys heralded as good defenders (Walsh,Springer) can't even contribute and Quetas can't even challenge Horford for playing time and we have to pine for this generation's version of Walton who's seemingly only attribute is occupying the IR list.

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


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.

They’ll say Jaylen Williams is out but he was horrific last season in the playoffs.

They have a lot to go through in the West.

Dude it’s very easy to build a deep roster of role players when you completely gut the roster and build around a bunch of young guys.

The Celtics are in cap hell and Brad has still done an incredible job of putting together an elite roster.

**** me some of the overreactions

Watching a good amount of you declare OKC better than us as if it's a insurmountable mountain to climb as they beat us by 6 with Brown playing like dog **** and KP out is pretty crazy.


All that plus 20 more plus free throws and they win by 6.

Good luck in the finals hahahahha

It doesn’t matter the opponents defense, attempting 62 3PTA is a choice
Before this season, the Boston Celtics had never attempted 60 3PTA ever in a game

Lol. They were without their 2nd best player in williams. But i agree, we definitely need KP against this guys and the cavs. Chet is having it easy inside with no rim protection.

OKC controlled the game whenever they wanted to. C's were a dog chasing a car all night.

They got more free throws because they constantly attack us inside, and we mostly jack up 3’s. Plus Shai is a smart player. Knows how to foul bait the refs with his constant pump fakes with flopping.
