Celtics guarding Holmgren likes he's KP. Not sure thats a good idea.

Chet won two loose ball duels after getting blocked and i have no idea how he got those loose balls

All Celtics points until now came from 3s, they have one point from a free throw and it’s 8 minutes into the quarter.

with 3:51 to play in the 1st, the C's are 7/16 from 3 and 0/2 from 2. 1/2 from the line.

Crazy.

Celtics are the way the nba does not need to go. Like 90% of their shots are 3’s….

Either great hands or pure luck.

Yea but too be fair i think the passing amd ball movement have been solid. Seems like they are intentional in making safe effective passes because OKC is an agressive defense

Crazy.

They need to let players defend the 3 point line. You can hack players close to the basket without getting called for a foul but the slightest contact on a shooter and they go to the line for 3 free throws. It’s a game exploit.

Since when is 2pts better than 3pts? Warriors have success on winning shooting 3’s so what’s the problem?

For the Celtics, it's usually when the other team shoots 56%+ from 2. OKC is at 57.1% atm.

After 1, the C's are 9/22 from 3, 0/2 from 2, and 3/4 from the FT line.

Started watching late. WHERE IS JAQUA92???

I need to know why OKC losing this game is undeniable proof that OKC is toast in the playoffs...or why it's a meaningless game and OKC winning is also proof they're toast in the playoffs.

OKC is giving them 3 pointers

Refs gifting a flopping 3 there

Triple M · Post #35 » by **Triple M** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 12:09 am

OKC defence is nasty. They are making it difficult for the Celtics to get into the paint

Kalela · Post #36 » by **Kalela** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 12:10 am

That was a BS call.

The Boston 3 point chuckers ruining another great night on this beautiful planet

Are we watching the same game? Craig clearly hit him on the arm

After the shot, where he did a star jump in the area to try and get any sort of contact.

It worked, but it’s the wrong call.

KP has been upgraded to questionable with his viral illness. Tatum and Brown are questionable as well but I think they play.

Update: KP out. Jays wil play.

Read on Twitter

Good about KP. Hope he gets better soon but in the meantime nobody with a viral anything ought to be around others. Just for in and of itself, but also you don't want any of that crap flowing through a team wearing everyone doen just before POs.

Who wins?
