Time for the Leprechauns to meet The Big OklaHolmgren

My little brother has always been a fan of the Celtics, so I’m taking him to the game to convert him

We probably lose. Tatum and Brown are going to still be salty about that drubbing, which happened to be on January 3rd. Going to be tough.

Game of the season for us so far I would say, this is a huge test for the lads

Call me arrogant or jinxer, but i think we match very well against Celtics. I know they are the best team in NBA but if both teams play close to their this season's averages with their playstyles, i think Thunder win is much more likely than a Celtics one.

I haven't been this hype for a Thunder game since the last Thunder game.

i want this win so bad

If Micic plays meaningful minutes I’m going to strategically place LEGO blocks in Mark’s floors.

If we beat the Celtics then we the best team in the nba

I love Derrick White but he got an egghead lol

Man that Celtics starting five is scary

just looking at their starting line up is scary. I feel like the benches will determine the winner of this one.

I respected the Celtics because they had Marcus Smart. Now I don't like them so much anymore. (MY NOTE: Oklahoma State)

Kinda hilarious watching Porzingus shoot his threes in almost a straight line because of how tall he is lol

This is basketball utopia

150-143 final score incoming

Yeah cheat off Holiday if needed, just don’t let Porzingis get clean looks.

Why am I actually nervous about this game? It's January I'm worked up like this is playoff ball

What do we need to do to have 99% of the house cheering on the thunder? Might just be the tv but feel like the cheers for the Celtics are unusually loud for a visiting team. I get the Celtics are one of the most popular franchises in the country but still

This Celtics team is just very hard to guard man. Like who do you even give "less attention" to? Jrue? Lol.

If OKC lets the Celtics get settled in they will lose, they have to follow the Pacers game plan of moving the basketball quickly and not letting them play in the half court too often

Big daddy Al!

They lied about White being an elite defender. He’s nothing compared to Herb Jones or Jaden McDaniels.

Big a** forehead. That should’ve hurt Shai more than White lol.

Brother has a cranium of a forehead hope he’s fine though

Horford can’t guard Giddey

Just don't get why they traded Marcus Smart away lol

JB getting locked up by J-Dub/Dort/Kenrich

Didn’t realize in full how deep the Celtics are.

No one’s beating them in the east

Must be Tatums first time playing Chet, he won't try that again Thst block was bullying

Why they leave horford open mannn

Outside of Porzingis, I think this 1st quarter was a really solid performance all around.

As long as we're competitive over most of the game I don't care too much about the result here. They're years ahead of us and probably the best team in it

Yup unsuccessful challenge, no surprise tbh.

F*** these refs

The fact that he said it like it was a fact instead of saying the call stands or something makes me want to punch him in his smirking face

Refs probably saw they were wrong and made some bs up

So far they're easier than the Nets lmao

celt fans are still complaining about the refs even after that

Even if you ignore the contact on tatum’s kickout, Wallace was in his landing space, easy foul and idiotic first quarter challenge

Don’t forget Pistons we’re up by 22 against this Celtics team at the half, then got out scored 35-16 in the third. Can’t let your foot off the gas against this Boston team or they will pound your face in

Pritchard looks like an older version of Sid from Toy Story

Big Al is a guy I'd like to see us make a move for, if he's available. Boston loves him, but he's the type of vet big that can play our style, knows our system, and gives us some physical oomph if we need it in the playoffs.

lmfao PP flopping after elbowing a guy is peak celtic behavior

They really bailing tatum out. Cant handle our defence

Horford was grandfathered in to hand checks

Why is Chet getting locked up by Al

Kriztaps only good as a 3rd option

Jaylen Brown is one of the most athletic wings I’ve ever seen, dude is fast

One of those games the refs are the mvp.

Has there been a game where refs didn't f*** okc?

Porzingis showing he's the OG Chet out here lol

Pritchard is what I picture when I think of who runs those Twitter accounts with SGA's face in the profile pic

Why don’t we get the same calls? It’s literally every single game

That's quite a few weak calls going Boston's way already

Their racist idiot fans will still whine about it in the nba thread though

Refs pulled Celtics back into it

Brown is shocking with the basketball

have to stop porzingas ngl hes cooking out here

Funny how they give kp no calls but tatum gets everything

Kriztaps really threw his 7 foot self to the floor lmao

Are they actually hiding Jrue away from Shai?

So… Porzingis is definitely their second best player.

Can Chet not guard KP? We have no answer for him

Imagine how good Tingus would be if he had a healthy career (MY NOTE: How many Comments From The Other Side have we seen fans calling Kristaps Porzingis "Tingus Pingus"? I had no idea that was his nickname around the league)

Celtics holding Chet to just 2 field goals in the half is wild. They read the scouting report.

Chet has to guard KP the same way KP is guarding chet

These refs are trying my patience

Celtics fans are complaining about the whistle so far. I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.

Is that one ref that was exposed for being a Celtics fan working rn?

Celtics game plan is to always leave giddey open made shot or not so he's there on defense for the Celtics to attack on

Refs gotta keep it competitive somehow

Refs going to be harder to beat than the Celtics.

Ridiculous shot from Tatum da**

Tatum is a bad dude

Bro does Tatum kick on every shot? Wtf

Courtside fans needa trip the refs

free throw merchant tatum getting 90% of his points from the line

when ISNT it free throws for the celtics? lmao

Shai is getting as much contact as Tatum is but a quarter of the whistles.

I feel like Boston fans are some of the angriest in the league, sheesh

I haven't watched Boston much at all over the years, but I didn't realize Tatum was so annoying. He's as bad as Harden about just trying to bait fouls and flopping

Derrick White looks like an Ewok
*Bald Ewok

What kind of a last name is porzingis

Irish

Celtics fans are delusional

Tatum kicked his leg up even on a layup lmaoooo

Foul merchants gotta merchant

Tatum should change his sport to karate

Is Chet’s ceiling a better porzingis??

Refs are blatantly calling it in Celtics favor lol

Someone tell the Celtics they are supposed to get it in the basket

White is nothing to Shai. Nothing.

Credit to the ref for not falling for White’s OBVIOUS 5th foul bait on Shai

Jaylen Brown 1 from 10 , is he on ridiculous money?

I'm tired of having to pretend Giddey isn't literally the best player in the league

Holiday is so buns offensively lol

The east is a joke, just farming the bottom 7-8 teams

Can Kriztaps stop crying every time he shoots

you can’t tell me shai isn’t mj reincarnated

Maple Jordan

Derrick white is a practice cone to shai

Tatum steps into the lane early as a distraction every time on those free throws

Celtics are crybabies... Gettin the whistle in their favour all night and still b**ching

Why does Kristaps Porzingis eyes always look like the undertaker.

Awww. How does it feel when calls don’t go your way Celtics? Bad huh

Back in your box Mazulla

Giddey playing like a white Dirk Nowitzki

Celtics put in their garbage time lineup when?

Thought that’s what they’ve had in all game 🥱

Pray for the wives in Boston tonight their fans are FUMING and we look legit

Jdub >>>> Brown

JDub is locking down JB

Jrue getting punked by Cason, how poetic

Nice to see Horford still be able to dunk. Hope that’s a nice consolation for Celtics fans

They got White for literally nothing lol

He’s so good x4

How does Derrick White look both like a newborn, and in his mid-40s at the same time?

Dwhite always makes the most random clutch shots it’s crazy, every Celtics game I swear. Can’t believe spurs traded him for nothing

Boston trying to foul out Shai

It’s a good strategy.

White can't win with these cats

Jaylen Frown

Are the Celtics hiring soccer players?

Jalen Brown wants an excuse for his horrid night

They're trying to rig this game

These refs are doing everything they can to give the game to Boston

F***in refs they can’t stand to see there golden boys Celtics losing

Do you think that ref has his "I <3 Tatum" shirt on under his ref shirt or did he leave it at home?

The amount of celtics jerseys I just saw in the crowd ew

Derrick white is mj in the 4th it makes no sense, that bald head gives him powers

no other answer, it has to be the bald head

Unimpressed, first round exit at best. Tatum’s a scrub

Derrick White should be the Celtics #1 option lmao

White and KP the real all star duo in Boston

Bro how is that not a foul for SGA wtf

Because he doesn't play for Boston lol

No wonder the celtics have a good record, when you get calls like that how is anyone going to beat you?

The amount of green in that crowd embarrassing

Ref fans are crying right now

See you again in the Finals!

Tank years were so worth it

Great game, u just knew Celtics were going to come back. They are excellent and very well balanced. It’s good to get one over them

Thunder will be 2024 NBA champions

Irish” had me laughing out loud!
