Celtics (26-6) at Thunder (22-9) Game #33 1/2/24

[SCeltic34]

This is one of the worst games I've seen Holiday play.  He hasn't been good defensively either which is quite abnormal.

[CelticSooner]

OKC are Miami with an offense. They are going to be a nightmare for years to come.

[celticinorlando]

Sit the starters and get home asap

[Goldstar88]

JB and JH need to sit. 5-23 from the field..

[celticinorlando]

I need to see okc in the playoffs. They are either going to be boom or bust.

[scaryjerry]

The Cs do not belong on the floor with OKC

This is the first time I’ve felt like the opposing team is actually a better team then us. At least they’re in the West

Bit of an overreaction. They're good, but they're also shooting way over their heads right now and making some ridiculous shots. Just one of those nights.

Sga is better than our best player and the thunder have been getting better and better almost by the game…they’re better than the Celtics right now.

Lol holy overreaction

Sga is averaging 31/6/6 on almost 55% shooting and is leading a young thunder team to the second best record in the west and only going to be about a game back from us after tonight…where’s the overreaction?

OKC getting away with mauling us on their off rebounding attempts
white and Jrue just getting clobbered

[angryguy77]

Hard to win in the NBA when the best player is on the other side of the court.  Always has been, always will be.  SGA is just filthy.

I love the Celtics roster, but in the playoffs it can be a problem that against a lot of teams we won't have the best player on the floor. 76ers (Embiid), Bucks (Antetokounmpo), Pacers (Haliburton), Nuggets (Jokic), Thunder (SGA), Clippers (Leonard).

Yiles


7 losses.

End of the world.

We're missing open shots and they're making everything.

Brown and jrue are just bad tonight. JT is Mia.

We were due for a loss. We've had a grind of a schedule so far ans still have the best record.

Relax.

[jpotter33]

Yeah, one of those games.  We're missing wide open shots this entire quarter.

Or SGA is the best player on the court and the thunder are playing better right now and the Celtics go up against a legit team at full strength and suddenly don’t look as good as people think they are

Lol you continue to spout this factual non-sense. How many good teams have we beat already this year while playing one of the most difficult schedules to date? We're 26-3 against .500+ teams right now, but, sure, it's just because we're finally playing a "good" team when OKC is shooting 6+% and 8+% better than their season average right now.

Long season. 

Let's see how they look in April

[SCeltic34]

Nice run by the C's, but probably too little too late. 

[PAOBoston]

 :blank:maybe White can save them again

[celticinorlando]

This loss doesn’t concern me. Celtics have been road heavy for the last few weeks.

It’s a game in early January on the road. Learn from it and move on.

[blink]

and like that, 2 threes from DW, and a bucket from JB and we are back to within 10
lets see what happens in the next couple of min and see if we can tighten this up a bit

He's having a season-best night from 3 (75% right now versus 32% on the season). Giddey is also shooting above his head from 3.

Sometimes, these nights happen.
