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

[RodyTur10]

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

I don't think anyone is questioning whether SGA is better than Tatum now. He's a superstar.
This game is not a fluke.

OKC is shooting 50% from 3....16/32.

Good D and end of clock 3.  Thunder booming tonight.

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.

Just not our night.

We missed a ton of open looks and played lazy defense.
It's not a talent issue.

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.

Can only comment on what we are currently seeing. OKC just dominating every aspect of this game and the more veteran team has no answers defensively.

I don't know what Joe expects to accomplish with the Al + Kornet combo.  It didn't work in the 2nd quarter and it's not going to work now.

[Atzar]

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.

Lol holy overreaction

This was always going to be a loss. Celtics have been flirting with disaster for several games. Cant do that on the road vs this team.

They need a good arse whipping to get refocused. Come home and take it out on Utah.

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).

Stick a fork in them

Pull the starters. It's over.
