Not a bad loss. It's going to be a tough week...

[SparzWizard]

If there's a team that's worth losing to, then this is the team. OKC going to be arguably the toughest team to outlast in the playoffs, whoever is facing them.

Just hated that the Celtics played like dog crap in the 3rd quarter.

[Silas]

Tough loss against a good team.  JB with a terrible game.

[Who]

Tatum with 30pts 13reb 8ast tonight.

Porzingis was huge with 34pts and 10reb. He was 12-18 FGA. Super efficient.

Different team this year folks. Championship mentality, never throwing in the towel.

I don’t recall last years team ever throwing in the towel, in fact they almost pulled the biggest comeback in playoff series history.
A terrible 3rd quarter performance just caused them to lose to a legit contender though

[Neurotic Guy]

Nice comeback. Just short. No, this doesn’t tell us that OKC is better team.

[liam]

Night.

I won't put too much stock in this. Bad shooting night combined with them looking like curry from 3 is a hard game to win. The fact we still had this in reach speaks volumes.

[Roy H.]

Too bad.  One lousy quarter did us in.

[Silas]

JT had a good game with 30,13,8

[radiohead]

PP played over Jrue in crunch time. Wow.

[celticinorlando]

They didn’t lay down in the 4th. Cant fart around in the third quarter and expect to win.

This same okc - it's best player blew their doors off.

This team is different by miles.

[Silas]

Tough schedule ahead. 

[Who]

Don't feel bad about this one.

Most nights we would have won this game. OKC had a freaky good 3pt shooting night. And Jaylen & Jrue had terrible games. Most nights that stuff will even out with BOS winning comfortably as a result.

Just one of those nights in an 82 game season.
