[Atzar]

Kicked our ass!

Onto the next one.

Q1 = 35pts
Q2 = 30pts

Q3 + Q4 = 27pts

They scored less in the 2nd half than in either quarter in the 1st half.

27 points in the 2nd half. Yikes. OKC is pretty clearly a better team than the Celtics. They?re missing two of their top five players and we went into this one really wanting to win. They missed a number of easy looks, too.

Yeah, our shooting was horrendous, but they were just always lurking out there. Nothing easy. And physicality destroys us

[celticinorlando]

Onto Denver and another loss in a place they never win. 2-2 road trip is disappointing.

1. JB has been dreadful. Just awful

2. Shot themselves into this loss. This team cannot figure out when the 3s aren't falling then they need to stop chucking

Embarrassing second half.

They drove the ball a bunch and got hammered and the refs swallowed the whistles. I wouldn't mind as much but we NEVER get home cooking like this!

[blink]

well this was really disappointing after the 1st half.  It is like we didn't even compete in the 2nd half.

[celticinorlando]

27 points in the second half is what middle school teams do. What a clown show.

That might be the worst second half I have seen from them.

[Larry for 3]

lol @ blaming the refs. How bout get a defensive stop or getting as good shot instead of turning it over or jacking another 3? Gimmie a break. Terrible basketball. This jack 3?s crap ain?t working this year.

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.

OKC seems the be the league's darling. Same thing the other night vs the Knicks

When I saw Scott Foster was the lead ref I should've sat this one out.

They're comparing SGA to Jordan and treating him like he is.

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

JB literally went scoreless with multiple turnovers in the second half.

Good night Scott.
