This officiating display is embarrassing. It's completely one-sided now with them mugging us every time down the floor with no call.

It's a shame.

[Larry for 3]

If the C?s don?t hit a ton of 3?s they don?t win. Period

[Atzar]

OKC's ball pressure has been incredible in this second half.  We can't drive against them.  If a team is able to shut off our driving game, we become reliant on mediocre looks from three to score and those have been bricks tonight. 

Inconsistent officiating of physicality doesn't help - that moving screen on Al is called but the last three drives by JT and JB were not - but really this is more about OKC than anything else.  That team is legit.

[Silas]

Refs killing us and missing 3s.

It's the refs that changed this game.

Wow, had to go away at halftime. From up 10 to down 10. The offense must have flat lined in the 2nd half.

They inexplicably went away from what was working and went back to chucking bad threes, and Ole Second Row Joe reared his ugly head again and was clueless about how to stop their run, refusing to even call timeouts.

[johnnygreen]

I'm debating on whether to watch the rest of the fame, as it seems the referees already determined who should win.

SGA still has the 2 fouls from the 1st quarter and then he just got free rein!

[jpotter33]

My God, Jaylen. Grab the freaking rebound. It's not that difficult guys. This is one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.

[liam]

OKC get to push anyone out of bounds with no calls all game!

Yeah, the refs have clearly been protecting him. He's had at least three obvious fouls on him that they let go to not give him the foul. Corrupt officiating.

[SCeltic34]

lol 24 to 8 quarter.  on to the next.

[Roy H.]

Apologies to all Celtics fans that watched this game.  Terrible loss.

[liam]

Brown just gabbed and no call!

[jpotter33]

For as good as JB was in the first, he's been atrocious in the second half. Just awful BBIQ and trying to force it all himself. Poor BBIQ JB showing up yet again when it matters.
