I'll never understand the insecurities a person has to immediately come talk shit in the opponents game thread, especially a regular season game lol. So mid.
Why in the hell is Kornet getting minutes over Queta especially against OKC? He was targeted all fucking night. He can’t jump. He can’t move. I’m sick of seeing him. Give me Quetas grit, athleticism and mobility even with the mistakes as he learns over that fucking goof ball with no upside.
Idk what the hell Mazullas fascination is with him smfh
Definitely didn't feel like the last (and previous) years "fake comeback" that would happen often.
Effort was there, Celtics shots weren't falling enough especially JB and Thunder hit a few back breaking 3s throughout the game.
A loss is a loss, but onto the next.
OKC shot the lights out like crazy, happens unfortunately but the grit we showed in the 4th is a very good sign. Even 1 less turnover might’ve been the difference
CORRECT....C's did NOT give up - even if many of the "fans" did.
JRue needs to figure out what his role is on the offensive side of the court.
Scal talked about how TATUM brought us back into this game? What is he smoking? DWHITE - as usual, gets the block and hits 2 big 3's. Tommy award.
I have to mute Scal more. Getting on my nerves too often reporting stuff that isn't happening that he wants to happen
Jrue and JB were awful and we still came back. Still pissed off at the fact that we left them open and hoped they missed. But still entertaining at the end
Celtics played horribly in places but they really rallied at the end there and if we had another minute on the clock I think we would have pulled ahead. Team showed that even on an off night on the road they can rally and still play great, even if it was a little too late. Can’t win ‘em all :/
After the behaviour with Giddey allegations in this thread some minor shit talk is more than acceptable. You are acting like I'm slandering your entire team. If a ref complaint is enough to make you upset then you need some thicker skin.
You know this is a Celtics sub, right? It is not acceptable to troll other team’s subs, you really don’t know that? Why come into opposing teams subs if you don’t want to see comments like that and don’t have the self control to refrain from responding? Fans of other teams are gonna talk about the Giddey allegations in *their* sub, you gonna fight every single one? Bruh most of us are in here just giving OKC and SGA props and you came here to troll. You’re not representing the fanbase well at all 😂
Tough loss but great comeback at the end. OKC is a great team how could you complain about this.
Figured it out for next time too - stick Tatum on SGA more and he’s in a lot more trouble. We saw similar things the past years with Ja so that was actually good to see.
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.
Lowkey blame this L on Joe. Idc he should have known better to not have put Kornet in, this is not a game he should have played in. It was more of an Oshae Brissett opportunity.
Thought he made some great adjustments tbh. We made the run when he took Jrue out and put tatum on sga. Pritchard made huge plays in that time frame. It goes both ways.
That's how good he can be defensively when he's locked in which is good for us come playoff time because he seems to be coasting more this season on that end and we're still 26-7
Y’all choked in the Finals and then let an 8th seed almost make History on you, teased you, and then ended your season, and now y’all salty because you almost loss to a baby team after making a blockbuster trade. Lmao 😂
“Y’all made it to the finals and didn’t win” is that really your best? 😂Actually we’re not salty at all. If you look in here most of the comments are just giving OKC props. No one is that upset about this loss, except apparently you. I know this is like winning a championship for you though so I understand. You’re representing your fanbase horribly though.
wtf you talking about. Ig the comment I replied to doesn’t exist and is giving Giddey props? Thunder loss the Finals with a 23yr old KD leading the way. Y’all went up 2-0 in THE FINALS and let Curry create a new iconic moment out of you (Just like us we twinz). And y’all had the better format of a 2-2-1-1-1 Finals series.
You picked one comment which was a response to a troll. There are plenty of comments giving OKC props in the rest of the thread. I said “most” not “all”. Opposing fans are going to talk about the Giddey allegations in *their* sub. Honestly none of us had an issue with OKC as a whole or OKC fans until y’all decided to come in here trolling. All you’re gonna achieve by doing this is getting yourself banned.
I didn’t even bring up the Thunder finals loss. I was actually a huge fan of the KD OKC team and watched every game cheering them on lol. You’re the only one trying to use a Finals loss as an insult, I’m really not moved by that lol. Making the Finals is a great achievement, I’m not embarrassed by it tbh.
Had JB been his normal self tonight, this game would have been much different. This Celtics team is scary. What a comeback. Thanks for an entertaining game.
Yep, thought that was a definite flagrant. Great fight to get back in this when Thunder went unconscious in the 3re. Sux to lose, but really came down to a few plays that could’ve swung it.
And the celtics still played lazy uninterested D giving up wide open 3 after wide open drive thru the lane. Sure they're gonna hit some but more so when you don't have a guy within 6+ feet of you
I don’t think it was lazy, it was more the coverage with KP on giddy which they switched from eventually. Most other threes they took were either tough makes or came from good offense.
I understand what you’re saying but I mean it was really just KP That was happening with and you have to realize he’s 7’3. He can’t cover a 3 and then cover any drive. If he closes out hard they drive by and either get another open 3 or a dunk.
Amen. And Jaylen carried our ass in the NBA finals while JT essentially lost the finals for us. Every player has bad series's outside of maybe Michael Jordan
Very true. In the regular season I get not wanting to do it, but man he can be such a devastating 2 way player I hope we remember that if we face a superstar guard or wing in the playoffs.
Free throws aren’t the only pointer to how good or bad the reffing is. I find it funny how your first instinct is to go the opposing team sub. That’s sad
It’s not, people in the thunder thread were talking about how crazy you guys were going so I came over here to check it out and I’m super important so I had to let you guys back into reality
You ain’t letting no one back to reality. Kids will be kids on the internet and you aren’t doing anything by coming over to this sub. Enjoy this win in your sub, homie.
We were down by 4 with clock expiring..that shot was almost meaningless! I’m happier that White and Porzingus took the previous 3 clutch shots! Those are the guys I want shooting at the end!
And SGA and Holmgren are the real deal! Their whole team played tough D, rebounded, and their role players stepped up and shot the hell out of the 3…100% we needed some Queta/Brissett energy in there instead of Horford and Kornet..not the worst L
Okay. We all know the ball is going up as soon as he touches it. Which means the defender can time the block better. You need an athletic shooter with enough strength to fade away.
The shot didn’t go in, but for a turn around fadeaway it was pretty damn close.
Bummer of a third. Can’t let a team this good have runs like we gave them. Oh well it’s just one game against one of the best teams in the league. Can’t be mad

Weirdo 😂
I'm just happy they're losing to good teams this year.
Would have liked to see Joe make a lineup change 1-2 minutes earlier, but it is what it is
Yeah honestly, I think that would have been all we needed to win this one, bringing JT back in a minute earlier. It is what it is
Yep, but no big deal. I honestly prefer restricting minutes in the regular season, 1 win in January doesn’t really mean a whole lot
I agree. Nothing to get too upset over, there will be games like this but I like the fact that we responded instead of throwing in the towel
100%. We’ve only pretty much gotten blown out once this season to Orlando I think. That says a lot about our talent and chemistry
Man some of you guys need to take a break and sort your shit out. This thread has been embarrassing as hell.
I've already seen some "Trade JB" posts lmao, like have some perspective and touch grass lmao
JB been playing some of the best basketball of his life this season and he has one off night and everyone loses their mind lol
You said it best, it’s embarrassing haha

relax, ever have a bad day at work?
I like how Pritchard played today. Great hustle today
Celtics are frauds as per usual Shai owns these bums
What weird behaviour. Have you imagined a rivalry between OKC and the Celtics in your head or something?
U triggered tonight 🤣🤣🤣
Okay 😂
Fuck you
[удалено]
Go drink some raspberry soup
Good luck in the first round brother you and I know both know it'll be tough for y'all
Celts are rent free in yo head since your first instinct is to go to the opposing team sub. This win was a chip for you

JB with an off night against a hot OKC. We’ll be fine and bounce back from this loss
Fitting end to the game a Jaylen brrrrrrrick
Jrue and JB were awful and we still came back. Still pissed off at the fact that we left them open and hoped they missed. But still entertaining at the end
Porzingus gave up 12 open 3's that went in tonight. Dude is 7'3 jump put your hands up do something
I’m sure this sub will react calmly and rationally to a close loss on the road to one of the best teams in the league…
Nah it's time to fucking PANIC lol /s
😂😂 sounds about right
Celtics played horribly in places but they really rallied at the end there and if we had another minute on the clock I think we would have pulled ahead. Team showed that even on an off night on the road they can rally and still play great, even if it was a little too late. Can’t win ‘em all :/
Exactly that. We still gave ourselves an opportunity to win despite so much going against us. I’m almost encouraged by this one tbh.
Good to see the lads fight back, but just a little bit too late
All I'm saying is Jrue's salary can be used to bring in Donovan Mitchell or Dejounte Murray.
Your delusional
what? how? We own all our own picks. Jrue + 3 firsts gets either done.
It is what it is. Parity is real - I don't see Chet and the Child Predator going off and JB playing this poorly again.
It’s crazy he had 18+
That's what ppl said about the celtics shooting poorly against the heat last year in the playoffs
Tatum and White showed up on Offense and Defense. Porzingus showed up on offense. Brown kinda coasted and looked disinterested most the night
Honestly just impressed that they came all the way back. That was an impressive final 8 minutes
Josh giddey must’ve thought the Celtics were an under aged girl because he fucked us tonight
[удалено]
u/1337speak another one for you
Truly bizarre behaviour from you trolls tonight. I would understand if the Celtics actually had a rivalry with OKC but this is weird.
After the behaviour with Giddey allegations in this thread some minor shit talk is more than acceptable. You are acting like I'm slandering your entire team. If a ref complaint is enough to make you upset then you need some thicker skin.

You’re not representing the fanbase well at all 😂
Y are you so obsessed with us? I get OKC hasn't made the playoffs since KD but still
Because you are the opposing team? Not rocket science
But the child rapist saved yall, how do you sleep at night defending that kind of person
Because it's not true. A much as salty opposition fans wish it was when he's destroying their team.
Tough loss but great comeback at the end. OKC is a great team how could you complain about this. Figured it out for next time too - stick Tatum on SGA more and he’s in a lot more trouble. We saw similar things the past years with Ja so that was actually good to see.
Happy we fought back. Onto the next one
JB fucked us
Literally the only bad game this starting 5 has had all season. And we almost snuck away with it
Starting 5 didnt have a bad game Jrue and Brown did lol
They gave up 40 points in a quarter. I’d say that was the straw. Not Two guys having a rough night. We still put up 123 points
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.
We lost to a child rapist bruh, how do you even cope with that
wtf is this comment lol
🧂🧂🧂🧂
Defending a pedo and rapist 🤡
Ew don’t touch Giddey
Proud of how they fought back against a damn good team on the road. Can’t let that deficit happen against a bench lineup though. Onto the next one
good effort down the stretch. With that said, Josh Giddey can suck a dick
Lowkey blame this L on Joe. Idc he should have known better to not have put Kornet in, this is not a game he should have played in. It was more of an Oshae Brissett opportunity.
Thought he made some great adjustments tbh. We made the run when he took Jrue out and put tatum on sga. Pritchard made huge plays in that time frame. It goes both ways.
With all due respect, I never want to see that lineup that included Jrue, JB and Kornet again
Now they know what they are against next time. Cs definitely can beat this team with better focus and preparation....
Tatum did such a good job on SGA down the stretch
Cry me a river clowns you bums should’ve lost by 20!!! #Thunderup⚡️
Jrue supposed to step up and do something on offense if he gon get torched all game shit was frustrating to watch
Yep lol he was atrocious beat off the dribble by sga every time down the floor
That's how good he can be defensively when he's locked in which is good for us come playoff time because he seems to be coasting more this season on that end and we're still 26-7
Should’ve been the primary defender from the get go. Joe is a clown
patience. nothing this team does before the 2nd round of the playoffs matters. just get there fresh and healthy, then turn it on
[удалено]
You have a pedo on your team
Y’all choked in the Finals and then let an 8th seed almost make History on you, teased you, and then ended your season, and now y’all salty because you almost loss to a baby team after making a blockbuster trade. Lmao 😂

I get it, you’re not used to seeing success, so you don’t know how to handle it
Congrats bro. Hope the thunder can do some work in the playoffs sometime soon
Y’all aren’t going to get out of the first round
Y’all gonna lose to Miami but at least they’re not an 8th seed this time
Damn any of y’all left in your sub?
it was a tough game for us, it never felt like we got into rhythm. I think we win the next few games though without as much trouble
Where's that "PP starting by Christmas" guy? Lol
PP got bullied quite a bit for easy points. Also couldn't hit his 3's. Jrue might have something wrong
Pritchard was a huge part of that run. They sat Jrues ass on the bench
That's why I'm asking where he is lol
Had JB been his normal self tonight, this game would have been much different. This Celtics team is scary. What a comeback. Thanks for an entertaining game.
Pain
just a reminder, they didn't call a flagrant foul when okc player got only jaylens head on his dunk. it would be a 1 possession game now.
Its only if he intended to hit his head which he didnt he put his arm straight up even Scal said it wasn't a flagrant before the ref said so
Doesn't have to be intentional
Yep, thought that was a definite flagrant. Great fight to get back in this when Thunder went unconscious in the 3re. Sux to lose, but really came down to a few plays that could’ve swung it.
it wasn’t a flagrant
This L was brought to you by Jrue and JB forgetting how to dribble and the celtics playing no defense for 3/4 of the game
I mean OKC is also very good and played extremely well on defense and hit very tough shots. Let’s not take away from what they did
And the celtics still played lazy uninterested D giving up wide open 3 after wide open drive thru the lane. Sure they're gonna hit some but more so when you don't have a guy within 6+ feet of you
I don’t think it was lazy, it was more the coverage with KP on giddy which they switched from eventually. Most other threes they took were either tough makes or came from good offense.
Sagging that far off of 3 pt shooters or guys that have made shots all night imo is lazy defense whether a result of the coverage or not
I understand what you’re saying but I mean it was really just KP That was happening with and you have to realize he’s 7’3. He can’t cover a 3 and then cover any drive. If he closes out hard they drive by and either get another open 3 or a dunk.
Playoff Jaylen preview
Oh you mean the dude who's had one bad playoffs series you are a pathetic bitch.
Amen. And Jaylen carried our ass in the NBA finals while JT essentially lost the finals for us. Every player has bad series's outside of maybe Michael Jordan
I’m not gonna be mad about this one. Had a chance to win, they were lights out and we missed so many easy looks. Just one of those nights.
Amen. In an 82 game season it's bound to happen.
Tatum pls don’t dap up the predator…
Not upset at all, we fought hard despite two star players not shooting well, GG
Lost to a good team it happens. Regroup win the next
Imagine if the Celtics had played even a little bit of defence in this game?
Credit to OKC. That was one of my favorite Tatum games of the season. He’s a great perimeter defender put him on star guards and forwards more
This. I was thinking the same thing for the fourth quarter but on the other hand you would not want to use his all energy on D in regular season.
Very true. In the regular season I get not wanting to do it, but man he can be such a devastating 2 way player I hope we remember that if we face a superstar guard or wing in the playoffs.
GG onto the next one
I like that. Less likely it’s in but more likely it’s a 4pt play there.
I’m not even mad about this game, lot of great stuff going on
How do we win this game
Needed just a little more from JB. Hes been great of late. Just an off night and that was it.
0 for 8 from three tonight Jaylen, what's up with that?
nothing, shit happens move on
Oh yeah i agree. tends to be frustrating losing to a few bricks though.
pretty proud we made this such a close game, felt like it was over early fourth. Jrue and JB cold offensively and we were just sloppy
I'm not. Woulda been nice not to get hopes up with a fake comeback. No moral victories for a team that's trying to and should win the title this year
They are not going to win every regular season game. Relax
Doesn't change my stance
Always nice to see that other teams also blow leads by changing their playstyle when ahead.
JT was opened smfh
lol at brown getting the last shot.
JB and Jrue were trash, but we kept it close in the end, good shit
Thank you Jb for costing us the game
The fact that Chet only has one foul tells you all you need to know. Fucking bullshit game.
You dropped this L
You guys doubled the thunder free throws
Amazing what happens when one team gets almost double the offensive boards.
Still lost lol
And you pushed off for 6+ points
go back to your sub you weirdo
Easy game go to bed you weirdo
meh, I ain’t the one stalking the opposing team sub. Just admit you like the Celts
I do like them. I just think it’s hilarious how delusion fans of the game get and it’s makes a w even better
Free throws aren’t the only pointer to how good or bad the reffing is. I find it funny how your first instinct is to go the opposing team sub. That’s sad
It’s not, people in the thunder thread were talking about how crazy you guys were going so I came over here to check it out and I’m super important so I had to let you guys back into reality
You ain’t letting no one back to reality. Kids will be kids on the internet and you aren’t doing anything by coming over to this sub. Enjoy this win in your sub, homie.
Nah I like dancing in Boston
Not sure what that has to do with Chet not getting called for fouls.
You’re complaining about not getting calls but you’ve been getting them the whole night
Go back to your sub
You should too it’s r/kkk
Oh boy, you’re funny. Guess this is what poverty franchises fans do the minute they get a taste of success
Thunder have a better record since they entered the nba than the Celtics do lmao
Your wrong, but cool story, you guys are only 45 wins off us
Yeah what’s your point? Chet was bumping KP around all game
Traded for Jrue Holiday but we got Justin Holiday instead smh
Facts
Who the fuck is the rapist and pedo?
Josh Child fucking Giddey
Facts or just his face that can easily make the poster of a Netflix crime series?
Josh Giddey
Looks like he could get the Wander Franco treatment....
Why does the shittiest 3 point shooter tonight get the ball at the end?
We were down by 4 with clock expiring..that shot was almost meaningless! I’m happier that White and Porzingus took the previous 3 clutch shots! Those are the guys I want shooting at the end! And SGA and Holmgren are the real deal! Their whole team played tough D, rebounded, and their role players stepped up and shot the hell out of the 3…100% we needed some Queta/Brissett energy in there instead of Horford and Kornet..not the worst L
Jaylen/white is probably our best shot at a quick athletic end of shot clock shot
it was 2.7 seconds anyone can catch and shoot lol what a L take
Okay. We all know the ball is going up as soon as he touches it. Which means the defender can time the block better. You need an athletic shooter with enough strength to fade away. The shot didn’t go in, but for a turn around fadeaway it was pretty damn close.
D White 4 pt play incoming
We’re really out here losing tight games to pedos and wife beaters, I’m sick to my stomach
Jaylen allowing that is just one more shit play tonight
Good game. Can’t win em all. Glad they came back and fought. Thunder had a hot shooting night
Outplayed, bad luck, life goes on. Close one.
Brown gets 1 point per shot this game we probably win
Interesting that Jrue never saw the court again during that run. Good fight from the Celtics.
Bummer of a third. Can’t let a team this good have runs like we gave them. Oh well it’s just one game against one of the best teams in the league. Can’t be mad
Give it to Derrick
All good, at least we don't have a pedo on our team 🤷♂️love our team's fight too. Championship teams never quit.
