I'm not sure this Thunder team makes the playoffs without Ibaka.

I assume they gave away their draft pick too?

Not if they miss the playoffs(protected 1-18). I wonder if their fans argue over missing playoffs for the sake of the pick. :)

For Waiters I believe, but I'm not totally sure on that. I see KD leaving next year.
KD should leave. Go east young man


Easier to make the finals, and he knows it



And screw the thunder owners for moving the super sonics
I trust Danny Ainge

I hope we come out in the second half and open up a run on OKC. We've been keeping them in the game with our turnovers. Lets get a 20 point lead going into the third!

More Zeller please!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! Jesus, it hasn't been this awesome to be a Celtic fan in a few years. What's happening here is very real, Stevens is a phenomenal coach. And a very like-able one at that. Let's keep this up, players around the league are taking notice. The possibility of a top tier free agent coming here is getting more realistic by the day.

And Smart. My lord. Talk about stepping up. Just the kinda game he needs to prove to the coaching staff he's ready for a bigger role on offense.

Cut Pressey some slack, he's been great for us recently.  Just having a rough outing so far.  That should have been an assist to KO but that was a BS charge call.

Yes he has but he has never been a 3 point shooter and he should never be taking 3's with 15 seconds on the shot clock

No argument there, but he doesn't deserve all the hate that's being thrown at him just for a few minutes of bad play.
he sure does deserve it. He's a fringe NBA player and should know his role by now.

Then blame Brad Stevens.  He's obviously been telling Pressey to shoot the 3 if he has a clean look.

He may be a fringe NBA player, but he's valuable as a 3rd stringer.  He can completely change the complexity of a game with his willingness to push the ball and make plays.
you are trying too hard

Not sure what you mean.  This is coming from someone who isn't a fan of Pressey.
he should know by now he's not an effective 3 point shooter. Not sure how you can argue against that. Him being a fringe player, he should know he shouldn't be extending himself.

You're misreading things.  Nobody is going to dispute that Pressey isn't a good 3 point shooter.  It's obviously a terrible possession when he launches a 3 without passing the ball first.  But guess what, we have other poor 3 point shooters who launch them up as well - Sully, Smart (this game aside), Crowder.
those guys are no where as bad as Pressey
