I'm not watching another game this year. Playoffs included.

That's the first game I've decided to watch in forever and we lose to the Celtics D-Team on a bunk, contested, one-dribble three-pointer by Marcus Morris.

Of course we should've been up by 20 at that point against this **** Celtics squad, but we suck, so of course it came down to losing on a last second three pointer.

We couldn't even break 100 points against the Celtics without bleeping Kyrie, Brown, or Smart.

Why did I decide to watch? I hate this feeling. So much.

Fire Billy Donovan.

You know this is going to start another backslide that causes us to miss the playoffs.

We had the Celtics D-Squad on the ropes. Up six with under a minute to go and we freaking lose?!?!?!?!?!

What the damn hell?!?!?!?!

It shouldn't even have to come to that. They were playing a G-League squad and were flat all night long. Thought they were great again because they went on a little streak.

I would blame the players first. Westbrook played so well 2 days ago with a very high BB IQ (he didn't take any bad shots and only a couple of 3's I believe) and tonight he was pathetic.

The only thing worse than this would be blowing a 6-point lead with under a minute to go to the Warriors without Curry, KD, Klay, and Dray.

This is an inexcusable, pathetic, top three loss of the season. And we have plenty of losses to sub-.500 teams to chose from to be in the top three over this one but no more than two of them are worse than this horrible loss.

There is no way they miss the playoffs even though it’s what I want to happen at this point. Eight seed is possible but the will still make the playoffs.

Glad we are only playing good teams now, otherwise we wouldn't make the playoffs.

Even worse! This starts a backslide that ends in a 7-seed or 8-seed and we have to endure four games of this pathetically disciplined, pathetically coached team lose by an average of 15-20 points to the Warriors or Rockets; the two teams I think most Thunder fans hate more than any other team in the NBA.

The free throws were only one part.

Trash lineups. Boston took advantage of our switching. Trash shots. Couldn't stop 3 baskets in 24 seconds. And does anyone think Boston would be taking a deeeeep pullup 3 with 1.2 seconds left out of a timeout...

At least we could/would bench Kanter. We’re just stuck with Melo.

Do what I did, disengage emotionally. Tonight I watched about 5 minutes and shortly plan on watching NFL network til bed. I just can't anymore.

Melo was a team high at +11 and probably played his best defensive game of the year. The main issue was the offese and again just trash rotations by Donovan. He's in his 3rd season and still hasn't understood that 'UH, LET ME THROW A LITTLE SOMETHING OUT THERE' is not coaching.
