I think we can all agree that we have more chance of winning if somehow our players do a JR Smith and don't realise they're missing everyone
If OKC has demonstrated anything this year, its that they play up or down to the level of completion.
I trust the Thunder to play better if Boston’s whole team was healthy and available for the game tonight than I do when they’re injured. No one knows which OKC team will show up game to game.
That’s why their the worst team against the point spread in the NBA.
It happens pretty much every time we play depleted and bad teams. I bet it’s a close one
Celtics looked so depleted against the pels, hopefully we show up and play well
They've got a bunch of guys out tonight too iirc. No Irving, brown, smart, or Hayward
No Hayward, wow I'm surprised.
You do realize he's probably coming back this season right
No he isn't, I think they dialed back his rehab a little
Damn if we lose I’ll be real upset. We should be able to beat the without smart, Brown, and kyrie
TRAP GAME
This one is for Perkins!!!!!!!!!
Celts are struggling to score more than 90+ without Kyrie and without Brown and Smart don't have the defenders to slow down Russ + George. Don't mess around tonight Thunder - get this win and stay healthy.
Whoa, had no idea the Celts would be missing so many key players.
OKC needs to have players in Rozier's jersey coming off the screen for the pull up 3.
Why tf is melo isoing when he missed 3 wide open shots bruh
Oooooo baynes lucky Russ got fouled
And Horford has two fouls already, let's attack.
It's geniunely crazy that Melo just never gets calls, straight up never gets any calls
No matter what just get the job done. In the garden energy is gonna be down due to Irving, brown, and smart being out so it’s gonna feel a bit off, but just get the W is how I feel
Boston gone big inside with Horford and Baynes
Thunder need to attack the rim Foul the bigs out
Hard rims in Boston rebounds clanging around. Gonna be a brawl in the paint.
OKC bench really struggles with defensive rebs. Munroe too big & strong. Its gonna be the same in Playoffs vs most teams.
Hope we don't have a back to back going to be bruised tonight old school 80s muscle hustle ball.
Gotta muscle up here. Get a lead or they'll hang around and maybe cause injuries.
Man Billy really shys away from using more defense when we need it Huestis would have been perfect for some mins here, helping with the wing defense and helping with defensive rebs. Boston already has 9 off rebs.
Because he thinks Ferguson can do those things despite every bit of statistical evidence pointing the other way I lol at the though that Donovan was brought in because he uses stats more than Brooks, that hasn’t been the case at all.
We would be losing by 10 If boston were at full strength
17 - 6 run made by Boston.
Behind to e D/G League team!
PG is extremely bad tonight so far hard to watch
Russ really trying to dunk on a man tying his shoe lmao
Need a GIF of Baynes tying his shoe and getting bulldozed
adams and russ out here tryna kill people. i love it.
I like Morris, plays with passion, doesn’t back down, one of those guys that you usually like if he’s on your team and don’t like if he’s playing against you
Adams and Morris gonna go at it this game.
We have to continue getting Steven involved, they have no answer for him when he has the ball in his hands.
Agree, but they did have Morris Baynes and Horford on the floor to start. Inside was clogged, but we were getting good shots, just didn't drop.
Wow we can’t even outplay a bunch of g league players. Pretty embarrassing
Oh Tatum is in pain, automatic foul, just don’t like the late call
If our offense were a Nintendo cartridge I'd be taking it out and blowing in it
Thunder gonna take the L. Knew they would lose this game
Last thing we need is horford to get going. Leave him open then he will find his rhythm and win games by himself, like last time we met.
Celtics are still a very good team being coach by a VERY good coach. If you expected a blowout then you don't know basketball.
Brad Stevens is a great coach. They still have an all star + potential future all star rookie. We can def play better
Boston commentators lamenting OK3 being 9 of 27 from the floor. That's actually all right for them.
They're missing Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart, Jayden Brown and Gordon Hayward. We're missing Andre Roberson.
Roberson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>All those players
We always scramble a lot when the opponent has a center/PF who can space the floor. Pau did it to us last spurs game
Didn't know Tatum was best player in the NBA.
That was nasty, @jaytatum0 😷 pic.twitter.com/A0v0K1lgA8— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) March 21, 2018
That was the best shot we could’ve gotten out of a timeout?? If brad Stevens was our coach we wouldn’t had an open 3.
BD is a f***ing joke
We need a coach who is willing to say the hard things to these guys. This is unacceptable
Larkin looks like a leprechaun. Tatum's sideburns are ugly.
I love Shane larkin what a shot
Staying with short wings is working tremendously well with the bench. The bench has 8 pts after 3 Q’s and has allowed Boston’s bench to go on run after run. Well done coach ….. U r getting outworked.
Steven Adams used Al Horford’s elbow as a scratching post hahaha
KG tapes his hood to his head. Change my mind.
We had a chance to go into the fourth with a nice lead.. What do we do.. Allow a 7-0 run.
That sums up our night. Please close this 4th out. We were suppose to build a 80pt lead so our starter could rest the 4th, now we need to put them in immediately.
I was joking about the whole Larkin career high thing, pls don’t actually happen
Really think Abrines should be in instead of Ferguson
Their guards break ankles, we don’t want Alex out there lol
As always, refs are garbage.
Celtics getting GODLY calls all ****ing night long
This will be the ugliest win of the season
We are far from looking like winning this.
I'm from the future. We don't win
If you were from the future you would've fixed your spelling mistake. So I call bull****
This is the same knock on George for years. He's streaky. Its like, Melo would have HOT months and months that were good/great. George would have a super hot 3 week stretch followed by 2 weeks of horrible offense, 1 week of good (not great) offense, followed by another week of horrible offense...to then have another 2 extremely hot weeks after that.
This feels like another Russ takeover is coming in a sec
Can you tell me how old Tatum is
We're really shitting the bed right? Why tf do Celtics ALWAYS have our number I swear
PG more selfish than Westbrook, sorry.
Shane “Michael Jordan” Larkin
Shane "Kobe Bryant" Larkin ... Coz he's wearing #8
3 potential HOF players cant ****ing beat Shane Larkin
I bet if Kyrie was playing, OKC wins by like 15 because OKC. But God help us versus a Celtics team missing Kyrie and Smart
This such an embarrassment.
IF we win, it’s an ugly win but a W is a W and we need W’s. We will learn from this.
Thank u Russ and Steven. What a gritty win this will be.
Barely, but I'm happy we won
Ugly win, but hey these were games that we were blowing early in the year.
We ain't win yet fellas..
Lol still not worried
Now 16 secs to go ... 99 - 94
Not impressive at all. Looked clueless from coach down. Couldn't put away G league team at business end of season doesn't bode well.
Wait how do they still have a chance to win this?
If we lose this game when they don’t have kyrie....
If we lose this I'm drinking tonight
Billy should have called time before Anthony could get fouled
Why? Melo is one of the clutchest players in the league
Clutchest in losing games. Can’t make a FT and we end up losing.
This will be the most pitiful loss if we lose, we were up 6 with 24 secs
To all those people that said that we won this game lmao
I blame all you bums for celebrating early if we drop this.
Seriously. Do not let them get a 3
We better foul
They hit a 3
THEY DONT MISS 3’S!!!! ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME!!!
U think a jump from the fifth floor will kill me?
Gave up two 3s in 13 seconds and our BUM of an ex star whiffs on two FTs. Incompetence.
Morris walked. Just a ridiculous, easy to see call that was missed
Here we go, down 1. Who's gonna take a 30 foot contested 3?
Two starters out... No legitimate way to lose this game. FTs killed us
LMAO WE ACTULLY LOST
Super premature I was in counting this win. Damn. Damn damn
These aholes couldn't put away a team with their four best players out, with a ****ing lead with under a minute to go. Damn it Melo
Well deserved win by C's.
I am convinced Melo is allergic to winning.
I really wanted OKC to win this because C's can't even go 1st or 3rd. Literally cemented at 2nd and Thunder needed this game
This loss was as pathetic as my life
Clock didn't start with 16 seconds when they brought it up the floor. Home cooking and **** this
This loss has a lot to do with Russ not guarding inferior players closer, it's arrogance. It must hurt that Larkin got the win
Lost to a team missing half their roster because those chokers can't make free throws or stop a 3 pointer.
I hate Carmelo. What a disgrace of a player.
Should have kept Kanter
He always has that stupid smerk on his face too. Winners get to smerk.
FT's, Russ defense and our benches awful 10pt contribution! While Boston bench outscored and outrebounded ours!
**** the Celtics over rated as ****
I hate everything
NBA this year - teams are 884-0 when having a 5+ point lead with under 20 seconds left. Now 884-1. #melosystem
VS Healthy Toronto: DROPPED 130 ON YALL HEAD VS Banged Up Boston: how do you play basketball again
Pretty bad defense tonight. No way Tatum should've had that much impact. Perimeter defense was trash.
Melo with another solid >.400 shooting night capped off by a choke job at the line. Can't wait to pay him 28 million next year. Must be nice.
I’m more worried about Paul George..he’s not a difference maker..should we pay him max? I’m not convinced
who else can we get in free agency to replace him if we did lose him?
kd
KDs in old age decline..or rather premature old age decline due to poor diet and lifestyle choices
The OKC bench was outscored 35-10 But missing FTs is the worst. Brewer had the ball inbounded and Melo screamed at him for it, then clanks both. Brewer is 95% from FT line, he would have made at least 1
if I was a conspiracy theorist...
…rather than conspiracy REALIST!!!
I’d say melo was in the pocket of betting syndicates and paid to lose that game ???
Teams are 884-1 this season when leading by 5, with 20 seconds left. Guess who that 1 is…
It'll be a cold first day of spring on the eve of the fourth nor'easter of the month before a Celtic team without Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Daniel Theis and Gordon Hayward ever beats an Oklahoma City team on a six-game winning streak.— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) March 21, 2018
Uh, check.
On the bright side: isn’t our goal to be on the GSW side of the playoff bracket? There, I feel all better. Just watch – 6 or 7 seed. A mini tank job, even they are inexcusable

LOL, these were oh so hilarious! I can't pick just one, might be the best yet :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! The fact that they were all celebrating the win with 16 seconds to go made it really funny when they lost.
DeleteThis one felt good, they really thought the game was over!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Yep it felt good to finally be on the good end of a buzzer beating game winner. I loved that they were celebrating their win with 16 seconds to go. If they knew this Celtics team, they never would have. I love that they never give up!
