Us being healthy is a debatable statement, Smart and thornton would have helped alot tonight. Smart might have held Reggie jackson to less points and Thornton could have possibly shot the thunder's zone defense

OKC have a pretty decent team even without Durant and Westbrook.

Their supporting cast is highly under-rated. Still a top defensive team + rebounding even without those two stars. Reggie Jackson has been great for them.

This.  They're been impressively scrappy and competitive this season.
Regardless, no respectable team has any business losing a game to Anthony Morrow and Reggie Jackson.

Why can't a team lose a game to two rotation guys for a good team?

I only saw the final score, but how does it happen?

OKC won without Durant or Westbrook against Denver and Sacramento this season, so you should probably analyze those games in an attempt to answer your question.

Play soft in the second half.
Against a physical team with size.  The Celtics will continue to get destroyed by any team with size - unless their shots are going in from 3Pt range.  Tough night for Zeller to be a non-factor.

News flash, we are not a very talented team.

Reggie Jackson if he was on the Celtics will be the second best guard after Rondo. Serge Ibaka is better than all our bigs.

This is the type of question you ask in the Paul Pierce KG era, but not when we are a rebuilding team.

Not a news flash.  Reggie Jackson is really good.  We already knew Ibaka was better than any player on our roster.

Typically it's the result of one team scoring more baskets than the other.

Not having Thornton was a killer against that zone - we couldn't hit enough 3s to keep em honest.  Everything got clogged up and we got nothing but low-efficiency shots for most of the 2nd half.

I would've liked to see us run plays to try and free Olynyk for more 3s in that situation, though. Seemed like a weapon we didn't really go to when we desperately needed it.

Don't want to repeat it but if you let Rondo dominate the ball he will drag down whole our team
the motion offense just disappear thus the defense effort
at the end you will find Rondo get's tons of trible-doubles and all others is scrubs/role players

THATS is how you lose.....that FAT BALD Piece of S*** is as CROOKED as they come...
Every Call he made was Against the Celtics tonight....from the CHEAP Fouls to get KO to the bench, to the BS Foul on Rondo's steal, late in the game---to the Ball off Perk--he automatically gave to OKC---When it was Obviously off Perk....That guy should be kicked out of the league----he personally kept OKC in this game, so they could steal it.

I also HATE Phil Pressey----why did we keep that SLUG, when we had Bynum---?

When I saw Joey, I knew we were going to lose.

Rondo sucks the life out of the team.

Jeff Green was screwing around.

Joked around on the alley-oop early in the game.

I hope our young Celts learn a lesson.
