joe needs to find a lineup that is going to play a bit better defense.  I dunno if Horford is the answer tonight.  What about Brisset tonight?

Would be nice if these fouls went both ways. They're getting away with a lot of contact that we're getting called for on the other end.

Couldn't agree more. All any fan wants is consistency. It's why Embiid gets dragged. If everyone got that whistle no one would say a word about it, other than it ruins the game.

Brown with a dribble into a crowd. A deep contested three early in the shot clock. And an offensive foul.
Three offensive mistakes that got the Celtics out of their groove. Hopefully White is okay.

OKC is not a team to play a double big line-up against. Too dynamic.

Nice play by JT there. Lulled the defense to sleep and made the right pass instead of forcing the iso three.

Agreed. They don't play big and they shoot too well and can take advantage of the double big lineup.

This is a fun game..
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Really questionable use of the challenge by OKC there. Bad decision. It has to be clear as day to make a challenge this early in the game.

4 TOs and they're shooting 52% and 46% from three with the Jays having five points between them? Yeah, I'll take being down 2.

I really don't like the Al + Kornet combo.  Not enough speed defensively.  Bad call by Joe.

I thought the game was going to run away from them midway through that 1st.
