Celtics (6-2) at Thunder (4-3) Game #9 11/3/17

[tarheelsxxiii]

I think Kyrie has missed 4 layups in a row.

Get all the misses out of the system and hit a shot guys. Two in a row would be nice.
13 for 42

Can't get any worse and yes OKC plays D, but they aren't that good.

This is a great early-season illustration of the difference between a 'star' and a 'superstar'.

[Spilling Green Dye]

Turned the game off at half.  A good nights sleep will be better for me tomorrow.  Not to mention I'll save myself having to listen to Hubie Brown announce the game... any by announce I mean spend every second explaining why every call is the correct call. 

[Green-18]

OKC defense is amazing tonight.  The lack of a true secondary shot creator stands out.  We need to work so hard for every bucket.  Let's hope we can hang in and make a run.

OKC are really packing the paint. Celtics are overthinking on offense.

I expect OKC to cool off some, but the Celtics are going to have to make tough shots.

They just need to shoot, especially Kyrie and Tatum. They're both good enough shooters that they should be taking pretty much any open three they get, but both of them want to hesitate and try taking their guy off the dribble first.

Bad habits are hard to break. IT was similar when he first came here, but he learned to take many more of those open threes. Hopefully both of them will in time, too.

Might be lucky if they keep it under a 30 pt loss tonight.

Early season results might have been a little fools gold.

Ya think?

I think. Therefore I am an Irish Catholic Celtics fan.

TP for the Descartes/Celtics quote blend.

I hate this commercial.

The Lonzo commercial? Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous.

[OldSchoolDude]

Watching Adams tonight makes me want Mo Bamma a little more than Ayton for his Defense.  But then Ayton is pretty solid on D as as well, it's just Bamma looks to be more Mutumbo like   

[PAOBoston]

This is the type of game where Hayward would have been key.

[Snakehead]

OKC is playing really well and the Celtics are not.  A lot of guys are off and also some passing up good shots.

Like with the Bucks, the lack of shooting on the Celtics is showing more now.  I think even more than with the Bucks because Steven Adams is a lot better than any big on their team.

I'm hoping they can figure out how to counter the defense.  Steven usually does.

[dreamgreen]

Celtics look like they did in the ECF. Totally intimidated! Complete team break down, no team play just failed one on one.

[Snakehead]

This is the type of game where Hayward would have been key.

Yeah totally.  Against the top teams and better defenses it shows.  The space from his shooting and his ability to create.

No. I'm on the national broadcast. The commercial where the kid grows up and becomes the NBA player. I think it says "Want it all" or something like that at the end. Hate it. But I admit the music sorta gets in my head

they smashed Cs in the mouth and Cs have cowered so far.

[SCeltic34]

Interesting move by Brad to start Morris in the 2nd half.

[SCeltic34]

Just one of those nights for Irving.  And for the C's.

[jpotter33]

Like the switch to Morris. Get the bigs out of the lane defensively with Horford's shooting.
