Thunder (52-23) at Celtics (59-16) Game #76 4/3/24

I'm not too concerned whether we win or lose this game.  We've shown that our defense can clamp down.

Against a team without there 2 best players…really?

Once OKC figures out their center situation they are going to be a freaking nightmare to deal with. They are the Pacers but actually play defense.

I'm watching this game on ESPN3 on Sling through my Roku. There are no announcers or replays, just a feed from the arena. Is this normal?

I assume you are watching the in arena cam.

I didn't know that was an option on ESPN3. I'm not being given a different option.

Oops. Figured it out. The game actually is on ESPN, not ESPN3.

Nice D from JB.

Yes really.  It's a meaningless end of regular season game since we've already locked up the top seed.

OKC is still a solid team without SGA and JW.  Sometimes teams come prepared for the task even without their best players.  You saw what happened when the Lakers played us in Boston this season.

I thought you already knew that lol

Why is everyone ignoring that JB is clutching his left hand after every play???

Get him outta there.

I'll be very interested to see how OKC fairs in the playoffs when the games slow down... Good game so far tonight...

[Silas]

I think that Perk has passed Stephen A as the most obnoxious mouth on sport TV.

[Vermont Green]

Good Half. They stuck to the eight man playoff rotation. Wonder if that will change in the second half. I am glad to see it. The core rotation needs to play some together before the playoffs. Get back in the groove.

Fair enough. Celtics do have a tendency to play down to teams without their best players, I appreciate the Celtics compete in a meaningless end of season game but I can’t be impressed. Thunder second night of a back to back without their 2 best players….id prefer some of our starters get some more rest to be honest.

JB and White have had several miscommunications about Giddey tonight defensively.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, Brown is just off tonight. If he's not fully healthy he doesn't need to be playing.

[liam]

Bad start to the the third!

[Vermont Green]

Brown looks off for sure tonight. He is slow and sloppy.
