It turns out March Madness extends to the NBA. No, I’m not talking about the crazy Celtics comeback in the final minute of play. I’m referencing the utter ugliness that we experienced for virtually the entire 48 minutes of Tuesday night’s matchup in Boston.
Like TNT’s announcers said after the game, Oklahoma City should be embarrassed by their play tonight. Matching up against a Celtics team without two starters and a key bench piece should have presented the OKC Thunder an opportunity to rest their starters by the end of the game. Instead they played down to their competition, much like we’ve seen all season.
