Celtics (36-15) at Thunder (32-20) Game #52 2/9/20

[RPGenerate]

Celtics 42.5%--bench 42 minutes -- 9 points
OKC 46.8%--bench 47 minutes -- 20 points

OKC bench is tough and their defense is takin' away da paint for C's.

Celtics from three 9 for 23
OKC is 5 for 13

You think Stevens and his staff of 9 coaches can come up with something for this predicament?

Celtics 3 offensive rebounds
OKC has 8

Offensive boards are probably the least important concern right now.

Offensive rebounds are not really a story. Adams, in one possession got 3 ORs and missed three putbacks on the 2nd possession of the game. Since then only a 5-3 lead in that category for OKC.

Credit Thunder. They out played us first half. Their perimeter defense was excellent. Really hurt our 3 point shooting in 2nd quarter.

Why is a Kemba ending up guarding Gallonari every time? Crazy.

Gordon needs to take to hole more.

Romeo should probably sit out next half

I am not one to complain about the refs, we have others in this thread for that, but that half was an absolutely terrible job of officiating.

Especially that play where SGA (I think) went into Langford's chest and they called a foul on Langford. I've never understood how offensive players can initiate contact but the foul is on the defender.

Nice ... Smart gets a T before the second half even started.

[jpotter33]

And it starts already with this atrocious young ref.

[RPGenerate]

And that's how you start a half. Good job gentlemen.

[RockinRyA]

I hope to see Semi get Langford’s minutes in the second half.

Yeah langford had a couple of iffy calls against him and it kind of snowballed.

That Gallinari pushoff was particularly baaaaad

[jpotter33]

Way to come out aggressive, guys.

[footey]

Jays ward with first 10 points. Way to go!!

[bopna]

Refs really trying to get the Cs in the penalty early by calling ticky tacky fouls..

No question they want OKC to win this.

What was T for? Okc broadcast didn’t say.

You may have something there. Jayward sounds good for our Wings.

C's stepping up D
