I have my TV muted and yelled And-1 when SGA made that shot, only to realize they never blew the whistle. Been watching the league for over two decades and I have no idea what a foul is anymore.

Well then tell teams to defend the 3pt line better. Basketball is about who gets to score more at the end of regulations no matter how they do .

Wrong. Basketball is about entertainment and the Celtics are doodoo to watch

I thought basketball was about winning/trying to contend for chips.

If it really annoys you that much, you can always switch over to another game.

All these complaints about the Celtics style of play is getting really tedious now

Rockets and Suns both playing 2-3 zone with twin tower lineups if you consider KD-Bol Bol towers.

Except it was clearly a foul even though SGA certainly sold it

Nah, you want entertainment? Go play video 2k. I’m enjoying the game so far. I don’t blame you for getting bored specially if your team is not winning or going anywhere soon.

Let's go OKC!

Honestly the reffing has been good, there has been missed and wrong calls on both sides, and as expected it’s pretty even at half time.

Great defense by both teams.

Great game so far in Boston, both teams really fighting hard and the refs are letting some play go, not so for others, its the inconsistency that gets us upset but overall I really like seeing the Celts and Thunder compete. Could be a great series if we get it.

The half time shot, yes it’s a foul, but the Brown one off the ball wasn’t, he just fell over to milk 2 FT’s, and it worked

Boston will need Z to have a chance of beating this OKC team. Chet is just shooting over them.

What? We watched Brown pushed SGA through the chest with full arm extension. Its a clear foul, and being irritated that SGA made it obvious to the refs doesn't change that.

Thunder fans, how's Caruso been for you guys? I know he's been out a lot, but he hasn't looked all that impressive in the games I've watched him.

Wolfgang630 · Post #75 » by **Wolfgang630** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 12:56 am

Reading Celtics fans complain about their depth is hilarious considering they just had multiple guys go for 40 points and 30+ points from the bench. Like stop whining you have a great team and bench

doogie_hauser · Post #76 » by **doogie_hauser** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 12:58 am

How was the foul on Chet ? Looked clean to me.

These refs are turning to ass now

Roger Murdock · Post #77 » by **Roger Murdock** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 12:59 am

Every Celtics game is basically just a flowchart

‘Are they hitting their threes’?

Yes - win
No - loss

The most one dimensional team I’ve ever seen. They leaned in too far this year. Last year they were more dynamic

rockmanslim · Post #78 » by **rockmanslim** » Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:00 am

Not sure why Adams got ejected. Looked like that was all Plumlee. Need to see a replay though.

Edit: nvm Adams wrapped him up and took him down lol

Horford grabbed Holmgren on the elbow. Not swiped, literally was holding his elbow as he shot.

Ahhh… maybe rewatch that sequence, it’s clear SGA flopped and the refs bit on it, no big deal though, it’s a really good game

Who wins?
