Oh well. Can’t win them all. The thunder are a good team and we just sucked for 90% of the second half
Pretty irritating that we’re 26-7 and only have a 1.5-game lead on the conference
Love the hustle but maybe dont go down by 18 pts in the 3rd quarter
In before the “Jaylen’s a bum” smooth brains take over.
It’s literally one subpar game. And he’s not even the biggest reason we lost. Chill with that bullshit. He (and we) will be fine.
I love the fight to get back in it. Our 2nd best player had his worst game of the year. Awful defense at the point of attack all night and it was still a one possession game in the last minute against one of the best teams in the west on the road. We’ll be fine
JB with one of the worst games you’ll ever see. 4 for 18 paired with horrible defense all night and 3 terrible turnovers
I’m glad we didn’t give up. Last year’s team gives up
Just gotta comment how spoiled I feel that I’m disappointed we have our 7th loss of the year, away, against one of the best teams in the league right now, with two of our starters having uncharacteristically bad games. Yes we lost this one but wow we are truly feasting this year.

What a frustrating loss. If only we could play with the effort all game instead when our back is to the wall. This is just as much on Brown and Holiday being extremely inefficient.
Great effort from Porzingis and White to keep it close.
Why is Pedo Boy allowed to play still?
That’s a regular NBA loss. OKC has been on fire, they were at home and the Celts haven’t played against a good team in a while. It was all tee’d up but it was nice to see the Celtics fight back. This OKC team ain’t ready for it in the playoffs. They looked like us a couple years ago that last 10min.
Well you’re just not likely to win many games where a guy goes 4/18
This loss is on Jrue. Full stop worst game in a Celtics uni. Tatum was insane in the second half smh wasted comeback.
All you can ask for is a chance to win each game, and this team gives us that every night. Was always going to be a tough one, onto the next
People we will lose to this season who all had good games:
A homophobe
A wife beater
And a pedophile
But WERE the bad guys lmao
Seems like Joe figured it out at the end, guys just have to execute better
Chet and Giddey won’t shoot like that their next game. Sliders always up vs the Celtics
Eh not the end of the world
Inb4 people say we collapsed in the third quarter again. Thunder just shot the fucking lights out of the ball.
Meh. Just not our night, love to see the boys fight back and make it a game until the very end instead of just throwing in the towel after the third.
Props to OKC, and Chet is a fucking beast.
If Jrue and JB had average games we win that.
Still believe in Jrue but he has to get his head out of his ass
I swear Josh Giddey balled out knowing his name is on Epstein’s list
For a loss it was a pretty fun game.
Good fight and come back at least
OKC not being able to miss in the third fucked us. We did play it awfully but they also hit almost everything what can you do.
Honestly a valiant effort at the end there.
What was the deal with Kornet over Horford in the first half?
Shai is fucking good.
Not even mad about that one, hard fought just didn’t have enough to pull it out. I am however baffled that they didn’t call that a flagrant foul. How on earth is that a common foul?
SGA/JDub/Chet/Giddey:
33/54 FG, 12/19 3pt
Gonna be tough to beat when they that efficient
Disaster game from JB and Jrue
Can’t win em all. Great Tatum game though
OKC got a squad
KP’s foot on the line perfectly encapsulates how it felt watching this game
It’s a tendency to lose to terrible people. Edwards, Bridges and now Giddey.
Win some lose some type of game. Good fight. Onto the Jazz and get that dub
We were trying on defense, we weren’t mindlessly meme chucking, our offense was flowing acceptably…and JB’s shots just weren’t falling. Jrue may have played his worst game for us all season.
Guess what? It took maybe the best game I’ve ever seen Giddey play and they still only beat us by 4. It happens.
what a game.
Appreciate the tingus pingus, putting in the work!
The long toes strikes again at the three
This Thunder team went into Denver a few nights ago and won by 26.
Boston had Jrue and JB go a combined 6-26, watched OKC bang a ton of contested shots and make 45% of their 3s…and the Celts still only lost by 4 and forced OKC to make all their free throws in the last minute.
If you’re overreacting to this loss, I feel bad for you.
Loved that they fought to get back in the game. Pritchard was putting in a lot of effort
Really wholesome post game thread. Thanks guys ❤️
