Celtics (26-11) at Thunder (15-21) Game #38 1/3/23

Up next is a Dallas team who’s probably itching to get back at us. I’d like to think that his team shows up. If they get blown out of that game that would really be concerning. There should be no way to go but up after this dismal performance.

Dallas has won 7 straight.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if they blow us out.  Our defense is nonexistent.

If we lose against the Spurs, then we'll know just how badly we're slumping.  As if this embarrassing loss tonight wasn't bad enough.

First time in years that I turned off the game before the end. Turned it off at the end of the 3rd. Worst game I've seen in ages. Shame on these guys.

Think Ime watches the games and laughs?

almost did the same thing.  only watching to see if OKC can hang a 40-point loss on us.

[slamtheking]

wow, this is Bizarro game.  Jackson hits a 3

[blink]

all I can think at this point, is that first 20 games really wasn't who this team is.
they over-performed, and we just have reverted to who we really are.

as another 3 gives OKC 150 for the game.  they might get to 160.

the opposite most likely.  probably wishes he had this roster and be able to build off that momentum to get to a title this year.  no doubt shakes his head watching Joe's lax defensive philosophy turn a potentially great team into what we've been seeing the past month

[Silas]

God I'm glad this fiasco is over.

[Atzar]

Abysmal.

Next.

God I'm glad this fiasco is over.

Hopefully, it is...

[celticinorlando]

150 points. My god.

[slamtheking]

has there ever been a game before when every single player that got in the game posted a '-'?

But it's worse than that. Not only was that not who we are, but we also created significant bad habits while doing so. We stopped knowing how to win games defensively and consistently putting in the effort on that end.

Now that we've come back to Earth, we don't have an identity, and Joe seems to have no clue where to go from here.

One thing's certain...Brooklyn will be overtaking the #1 seed very shortly the way the C's have been playing.

Feels like the Nets are pulling a 2022 Celtics, suddenly flipping the switch and playing team basketball and rallying from sub .500 to being a top 2 team in the East currently.

[CelticSooner]

Hate to say it but this roster lacks athleticism. Brought in a lot of guys that disappear if their shot isn’t falling. That toughness they had last year is lacking. They don’t win with defense like last year.
