Celtics (4-4) at Thunder (6-3) Game #9 11/15/15

[Ogaju]

Avery Bradley game back from injury... that is all.

That is why we should sell high on Avery Bradley. See if we can get a big for him. There is a log jam at guard on this team. I say sell high on Avery

We have a logjam in the frontcourt not on guards. Only 3 guards that play are Smart, Bradley and IT4.

lol I was trying to get a response from Shak, hence the

i almost messaged you b/c you have been teasing me too much, it hurt my feelings. 







 

Oh no, my bad.

Just a way to compliment you. Your boyz are doing so well. AB,  SMaht, and I love the way Turner is playing. And what about Sully. That was my way of giving you props.

I miss Game Chat !!!!

Houston hasn't been playing well either.  If we win both of these road games I'd  be thrilled.

That's an understatement. Houston has been downright awful, I expect to blow them out.

Houston worry me a little bit as far as matchups go - mainly because of Dwight. 

I know he's not quite as beast as he once was, but still I have no idea who on our roster could possible check him.  Sully is about the only guy strong enough, but he's nowhere near quick enough to stick with Dwight.

Harden worries me less because Smart has shut him down before, so I'm pretty confident in the ability of the Smart/Crowder combo to make his life very difficult.

Harden can shoot tho. Westbrook only has certain games where his shot is falling.

Rockets seem like a team with no chemistry. Playing awful defense and have given up a 100 points in every game this season and their offense is sorely lacking.

I agree with the poster that said our depth is probably just wearing down teams and we take over in the fourth. I love the strategy.

I didn't get to watch the game yet but I'm super excited to do so!  Really happy to see that Marcus had a big game.

(That said, Westy tends to not play defense when he's carrying the Thunder offense)



An aside:  I'm so glad I have League Pass.

The Celts won by 15 and EVERY SINGLE HIGHLIGHT on NBA.com is of something the Thunder did.

Never change, NBA.com.  Never change.

He must never play defense because he carries/co-carry every game... pfft.

I'm talking about when Durant is out.  Last year, he was a complete joke on defense at the end of the year.

I know what you meant, that's why I said "carries" first (Durantless team) but you also said it as a takeaway to Smarts good game.

Well, and Turner at times. But, yeah, I definitely love the shorter rotation at the guards the last game or two.

Nice effort by C's .  To close out OKC at their house even without KD is no small feat . Celtics ARE improving as a team.

I know mentioning how ESPN craps on the Celtics is getting old, but watching the ESPN highlights of the game last night, and it was incredibly pathetic.

NBATV's highlights were decent.  You wouldn't have thought the C's won by 15 from watching them, but you would have though they won.

I assume it's the same as NBA.com, and I thought they were good... at least they showed some love on both sides of the ball for the Celtics/Smart.

I noticed that ......the highlights should go to the winner mostly .....especially given the margin of victory.    Basically it's a stupid love fest of media darlings or stars .......without truely pointing out how awful OKC offense looked.  No passing , just Westbrooke shooting all the shots and ball hogging like Kobe .   Very little team play .
