Celts Get Caught in a Thunderstorm! Loss vs OKC 1/2/24

[BK_2020]

On the bright side we improved our defense against them by 23 points compared to last year.

Time to stop pretending White is anything less than our third best player.

Most consistent role player in the history of the league.

Jaylen is expendable.

[Bar Fight]

SGA continues to move up the MVP ranks. Another road loss to one of these young, up and coming teams. The changing of the guard in this league is upon us. I just hope we can sneak in a title or two before it arrives

Tatum / Zinger / White

...


Everyone else

[jumblin]

Its good for Tatum to lose to a younger star who is quickly becoming higher profile than he is. He needs something to kick him into taking the next step of leadership of the team.

[Red2]

Brown and Holiday sunk the ship.crappy games from both of them

[Ben-N1ce]

Game flipped when Tatum decided to guard SGA, but the stretch to start the 4th really did them in.

I guess you didn't watch the 3rd quarter.

[playa-hater]

Jrue had his worst game by far since wearing Celtic Green and Brown was just as bad. But we only lost by 4... Am I doing this right??

But truth is I don't trust Joe in a close playoff series deep in the playoffs.

Sorry.. Not sorry.

I don't either but like...this is the game you pick? Lmao like come on man common sense here

He doesn't bench Jrue when he did, this team loses by 25 tonight

That was a sign of "Accountability" I have been screaming for. Problem is it's Tatum and Brown who get away with murder..

[Shak_Celts]

if jb decided to make the trip we win. okc did all that and still struggled to get rid of us. jrue didnt show up on either end. jrue and jb have to walk to the next arena.

I was already way into the hype. And he lays a goose egg. Way to have my back, bro.

I’ve said it 30 times. At any given time, White is our second best player and our first is a three-seat game of musical chairs on any given night. But D White always brings it, no off nights.

[Kalela]

Jrue and Brown did not show up tonight. It felt like Jrue was playing through an illness or something. Anyway I can't figure out why Mazzulla didn't adjust when whoever KP was guarding kept making threes.

[bucknersrevenge]

Lame performance tonight. This team continues to struggle on the road. It's a good thing they're undefeated at home because if they were losing games in Boston too then their record would be in trouble.

You know we're tied for the most wins on the road in the entire league, right?

[Riverwalk2021]

White should have started the 4th. Mazzulla needs to adjust his rotations when guys are hot/cold. Brown/Jrue to start the 4th was a disaster. In the end, it was a good comeback but couldn't make the necessary stops. OKS made the big shots shots but the defense was too loose down the stretch.

Without sleep, they probably make it in time for our matchup against the Lakers on February 1.

Our first is absolutely not a three seat game of musical chairs lol.

[Red2]

I thought holiday had turned the corner but this was a really poor game from him. He’s not playing up to his ability. Brown was playing better but you cant go 4-17 and not try and change it up. He forced wsy too many shots

[GrandTheftRondo]

Firstly, OKC are really good, may be scary good in a year or two, the Clippers have basically gifted them a potential dynasty. Shai, J-Dub and Chet may well be a better big 3 than KD, Harden and Russ.

Defence was absolutely awful in this one until late. Holiday looked lost on both ends. Tatum on SGA really changed things.

Brown was awful. Tatum got going a bit late but he simply didn’t assert his authority on a game like an MVP level player should. SGA did in the third and it won them the game.

You just have to laugh at some of the shots Giddey was making. Certainly isn’t his thing at all usually.

Good to see Joe actually had the balls to bench a starter late in Holiday. Smart played late far too many times in the last two seasons when Derrick White should have been in.

I’m glad these guys are in the West because I’m seriously convinced they could give any team in the league serious issues in a 7 game series

[Green89]

I blame Sam Cassell. If he hadn't gotten sick, he would have been here to remind Joe to send someone to post up SGA, as soon as he got 4 fouls.

[KillahGhostface]

Jaylen had a rough game, it happens. Not going to read any further into it, he just can’t get tunnel vision like tonight against the best teams.
