Celtics (26-9) at Thunder (29-5) Game #36 1/5/25

I think they can just keep Scal after this today. Guy literally fanboy'd OKC the entire game.

[Who]

OKC won the 2nd half 50pts to 27pts.

Almost doubled up on BOS.

After going 6-21 from 3 in the first half that were primarily shot in the first quarter, we went away from what was working and went 3-25 in the second half and had no alternative gameplan other than shooting and making threes.

That second half was embarrassing an unacceptable.

Mazulla ball at its finest

This is the time when Joe needs to realize that the Cs may not repeat if their game plan is not enhanced. Teams improve while Cs still rely on the old mantra.

[SparzWizard]

Blown out. So much for the gathering together talk the other night

[jpotter33]

Wow - White, Brown, and Holiday were ALL THREE scoreless in the second half. Unacceptable.

This is why I consider OKC a peer competitor.

They are the only team I have on a par with Boston. These are the top two teams in the league.

Maybe so...BUT OKC has "losing a playoff series they should not" written all over them.

That already happened last year. It worked out really well for us because DAL is an inferior team. But OKC has another year of maturity under their belts, as well as Hartenstein and Caruso. If healthy, I?m not sure how they are beatable?and they still have a million ways to get even better if they want to

we got beat by a better team yall- this stuff they did to us in the second half was ridiculous. it wasnt a punch in the mouth it was a slap in the face, 3s are not falling what did we counter with..nothing..no mid-range nothing. This OKC is very well coached and everyone plays their role. SGA that block on tatum, what else can i say...lol on to the next game.   

[celticinorlando]

Regroup for Denver. Need to do something.

if not for that good first half- this was could have gotten ugly...

[Muzzy66]

Wholy crap...White, Tatum and Pritchard between them are averaging 28.3 3PA per game this year.  The entire Denver Nuggets team is averaging 31.1 3PA per game.  That is madness...

The Celtics don't even rank top 10 in 3P% yet they are taking 50 of them per game. They rank bottom 9 in FTA and bottom 14 in assists.  What is Mazulla doing?

I think their only saving grace this year is that they are top 2 in fewest turnovers.

These sunday afternoon games at OKC have always been hard for us. This is the first time i?ve seen the guys this flustered in a long time. Hopefully this loss lights something up on the team as a whole.

[PAOBoston]

Pure emasculation by OKC. On the only game of the road trip that mattered, the Cs were absolutely destroyed by OKC without Chet and Caruso. Just a pathetic 2nd half performance.
