1/2 - Clear the Skies of Thunder

[benhogan]

I felt like that was still semi-contested?

contested mid-range jumper, you kind of live with that when SGA is getting downhill

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Didn’t think they played that well, especially on defense, and are only down by 2. Good sign.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I felt like that was still semi-contested?

I also thought Sam did about as well as you can. Not nearly as bad as that first Jrue roasting.

 

[SteveF]

So, SGA played the whole first and we're just down by 2. You kind of have to take that.

Edit: I agree, Hauser played SGA much, much better than I was expecting. if SGA wants to shoot fadeaway midranges (which, sadly for us, he can make) then you have to live with that.
Honestly, I think SGA has been the MVP to this point in the season given the number of games Embiid has missed.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Why does Tatum look so gassed

I thought the same about Jaylen when I saw him on the bench. Maybe sweating out some New Years booze. At least, that would be my excuse.

 

[Helmet Head]

Being down 2 after OKC shot lights out isn’t bad

 

[HomeRunBaker]

The next time anyone feels the need to criticize Joe please remember this challenge by Daigneault first.

 

[jablo1312]

SGA is going to be such a weapon in the playoffs w/ his ability to get buckets 1x1 whenever he wants.

 

[dhellers]

It was about as good as Hauser can do, but SGA has spent his NBA life searching for that shot. Unless you physically block it or block his view of the rim, he's gonna make it.

Hauser has been surprisingly good defensively for awhile now, but he's still gonna get roasted by the actual elite scorers in this league.

Being roasted by elite scorers is nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Imbricus]

I thought he played it pretty well actually? had a hand up in his airspace when the shot came off

Yeah Hauser played that about as well as you could.

 

[mikeot]

League Pass feeds from both Boston and OKC keep crapping out, fuck.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

KP keeping us in this game. Wouldn't be surprised if it got ugly soon we didn't really seem to show up to play tonight.

 

[slamminsammya]

KP keeping us in this game. Wouldn't be surprised if it got ugly soon we didn't really seem to show up to play tonight.

and okc looks pretty amped for this game

 

[Euclis20]

Being roasted by elite scorers is nothing to be ashamed of.

Certainly isn't, but if Hauser repeatedly has to match up with him it will be bad for Boston.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

and okc looks pretty amped for this game

Yup. They are getting to their spots with ease while everything seems to be difficult for us, crowd into the game, etc

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Did Scal have to explain to Drew that at some point in the before times there was a store called KMart that was famous for their blue light specials or is Drew blissfully ignorant?

 

[McBride11]

PP got pushed into him by Dort

 

[JCizzle]

That should be a no call or on Dort. Whatever.

 

[Mooch]

Fucking League Pass isn’t working again on Xfinity. So tired of this bullshit.

 

[McBride11]

PP being short paid off!

 

[jablo1312]

if theyre gonna use al to space chet out, they need to get to the hoop more

 

[dhellers]

Jrue is a real good player, but he really is not good at finishing near the rim

 

[SteveF]

Kornet + Horford just does not work as a lineup.

 

[Helmet Head]

Losing with SGA on the bench. Not great

 

[Manzivino]

Brown's having a rough first half, that was a mental error

 

[osori]

Jrue is a real good player, but he really is not good at finishing near the rim

This. He has zero natural touch at the rim.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Porzingis is single-handedly keeping this close.

 

[128]

Jrue is a real good player, but he really is not good at finishing near the rim

He was aware of Chet near the hoop, no?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This game could use some Oshae energy.

 

[ifmanis5]

4 stitches for White.

 

[jablo1312]

love jb attacking the rim like this, esp w/ no chet

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Didn'ts how up eh? Tied game.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This game is awesome

 

[Helmet Head]

White really is the straw that stirs the drink .

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

They’re so good their B game is good enough to hang with the best.

 

[osori]

DWhite does it all.

 

[dhellers]

White really is the straw that stirs the drink .

And KP is able to take a game over for a few minutes.

 

[OnWisc]

Celtics can piss away leads but feels like they sometimes erase deficits even faster. They really can score a bunch in a hurry.

 

[benhogan]

Tyus Jones
Gallinari
Muscala
2nd round pick

Then get KP to extend for 2yrs at a discount

How the hell does Brad get that done?

 

[OnWisc]

That guy came about as close to making the halfcourt shot as you can without it actually going in.

 

[ifmanis5]

White really is the straw that stirs the drink .

A very rich man's Gerald Henderson.

 

[SteveF]

It's a pretty fine line. They only really need to shift up a gear. I assume SGA is back in, so we'll see how this goes.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Hey Jaylen, White is out there. Don't initiate

 

[OnWisc]

Oh, Jaylen.

 

[slamminsammya]

Celtics can piss away leads but feels like they sometimes erase deficits even faster. They really can score a bunch in a hurry.

this is just the NBA now

 

[ifmanis5]

Might be nice if the Jays showed up.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

JB come on man.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Two bad turnovers by Jaylen

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Kornet just stopped Joe cold. Impressive

 

[128]

Why are the C's doubling on Holmgren late clock and leaving Joe wide open?
