I have no thoughts about this game.
Hi, Oliver Fox, professional Celtics writer here. Yes, you read that right. Despite the title of this article being “Lessons from Celtics-Thunder,” I, in fact, have come up with no lessons to speak of. Sorry to disappoint. Article over.
Perhaps that was a bit dramatic. Maybe a better way of phrasing it would be that I have no significant thoughts to add to the prevailing interpretations from Tuesday night’s loss, of which I have identified as:
- The third quarter was killer. Can’t be doing that, but good fight and comeback in the fourth quarter
- Jayson Tatum guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander down the stretch was a cool Tatum moment
- The Thunder are an awesome young team, super happy for their success
- Bad Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday game
I consumed my daily dose of local and national NBA media Wednesday morning and tended to agree with pretty much all of that.
