132-109 Boston.
29 3's made, and missed their last 13. Even if the 3 ball wasn't there tonight, Boston would of won.

Bridges and OG overrated for what they're supposed to do

OG has the offensive skills of a 6th man but thinks he is a 4th option

Bridges thinks he is a 3rd option but is actually a 4th

Can't pay someone 42.5 mil to play defense and only shoot 3s when given an open look.

A big like KAT who cannot impact the game defensively and doesn't even demand a double team is not the recipe to beat the Celtics offense.

Nobody can play with them rn really. People keep saying OKC but it's not that close past SGA. Still fear Jokic or Giannis with how they can command attention but not sure the other pieces can keep up.

Jay bros look more ready than ever thanks to the disrespect they continue to receive even after silencing doubters.

Kat is overpaid no doubt. Giving up Dante DiVencenzo in a deal for him was ludicrous. Kat played hard vs the Nuggets last year, but I doubt he will be effective at all vs Giannis or a rested Embiid. Kristaps will outshine KAT in a series too.

you're underrating OKC. they have elite POA defense which is critical to countering the main thing the Celtics want to do which is make clean passes and shoot 3s

OKC has speed, depth, and rebounding which are all core to beating the Celtics

also their salary cap is at 159M while the Celtics are at 200M. the Thunder can still make moves to add more pieces while the Celtics are probably as is

The jay bros silenced doubters??? No, let's clarify there. JB silenced doubters (you guys who hated him). JT's stock fell. Guy shot like absolute trash in the finals (again) and watched his teammates surpass him winning every postseason MVP award available. Then JT was like the 11th man on the olympic squad and sat the bench while his teammates got more playing time than him.

JT didn't silenced shit. He just further cemented his status as the most overrated NBA player.
