Celtics (43-21) at Thunder (51-15) Game #66 3/12/26

[SCeltic34]

Might as well draw up a 3.  Go for it all.

[Neurotic Guy]

Terrible way to lose. But. Got a shot at it with .8.

[satch]

Can't remember C's ever getting a call late late late in the game to win

[tenn_smoothie]

RIDICULOUS

[Roy H.]

Ugh.  Moral victories stink.

[radiohead]

That had a good line!

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Terrible game. So much bad shooting and so many dumb plays.

[ozgod]

Came down to a missed shot at the end, we acquitted ourselves, pretty well though. I have no complaints.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, can't really complain given that we're down 2 starters and another rotation player, but you hate to lose it like that on a dumb foul.

[SCeltic34]

I'm proud of the effort.  Both teams shorthanded.  Both teams defended well.

[angryguy77]

For a twist league screwed us by putting Het at the line instead of sga.

Joke.league

[Silas]

Tough loss but the guys played a strong game against the best in the west...

[Billz401]

Idk why they didnt just double SGA down the stretch

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Ugh.  Moral victories stink.

There are no moral victories, IMO. I definitely don't consider this a moral victory. I know that the Cs were down Tatum and White, but they had so many chances to take control of this game and failed every one. Missed threes galore. Dumb turnovers. Failure to get key rebounds. An ugly loss.

Yep, poor by Sam. Just try a tiny strip, if they score we still have about 1.5 to reply.

I dunno - I'm always loathe to criticize clutch time coaching, there is just so much going on with adjustments - but Joe seems not to have great end of game instincts it feels sometimes.
