Pushing off with your off arm extended is always an offensive foul. Jaylen will need to come up with a different move if the refs start to watch him carefully.

Going to go out on a limb but I don’t think the Celtics can win with Tatum and Brown scoring 0 points. Just a hunch.

Yeah, these refs are garbage. Rough start for the Jays too.

Take bad shots and turn it over this is what you get against a team that loves to push the ball.

I dunno, you could tell the C's were skittish and not playing composed from the beginning imo. OKC definitely looks like the team that's more prepared and ready to go.

As soon as brown shot that 30ft 3 I knew the Cs were in trouble.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

Cs just need to find their rhythm.

Although j b has been playing better team basketball, he should never be the one to initiate the offense.. Especially when it's to himself
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Joe is running that stupid make or miss offense. Not attacking the basket, no back cuts, they are too damn stagnant.

And on the opening possession (maybe second) that grounder Tatum threw between Holiday’s legs was brainless. Should have bounced it higher.
