[Highlight] Jaylen Brown hits awesome fade away jumper to tie the game in crunch time vs the Thunder
Hell of a shot
Sheesh that was a great shot. Dort played it perfectly too.
Dort should be suspended. Or banned.
Death row tbh he’s a literal terrorist
Yawn
JB went band for band with SGA. Great Celtics shooting prevented any doubles
ehhhh sga had like 4 in a row and jb bricked everything other than this lol
He had 34, what are talking about.
He missed 15 shots.
SGA missed 5.
He shot 14 free throws.
SGA shot 8.
You can’t miss 3x as many shots, shoot 2x as many free throws and still score less points and be considered “going band for band.”
It was tied on the last possession.
If he’s missing more shots, and going to the line more, it means he’s being aggressive like his teammates need him to be.
You could also argue that SGA should’ve been more aggressive since he was giving it up and his teammates were missing. Maybe if SGA takes 25 shots instead of 18 then his percentage goes down but his team scores more. If Pritchard hits that 3 at the buzzer and they lose by one, does it mean that SGA wasn’t aggressive enough earlier in the game and was too precious with his percentage?
A good analogy is a shooter who goes 1-2 or 2-2 from three every night but keeps taking only 2 threes a night. You’d want him to keep taking more threes until the percentage starts to drop.
Brown played a great game just like SGA did. SGA’s team won by 2, congratulations to them.
That might be one of the most impressive shots I’ve seen this season, goddamn
In crunch time too.
He loves that high arching fade away shot. But this one was so impressive because of the sheer pressure and circumstances he was in
And then we get some very fun FTs for the win for OKC
What a fun watch!
EDIT: Guys, I’m not saying it wasn’t a foul, I’m just saying it’s a terrible finish
End of nuggets game was murray free throw simulator
U enjoyed that i bet
Why do you lie for no reason? Murray was a flamethrower throughout the end of that game. The free throws he shot were on intentional fouls by the Spurs. You lying just for the sake of lying?
Wait, so he was legitimately fouled and shot free throws? Wow, that’s horrible.
Right? We’re being consistent?
The psychosis people on this sub exhibit when it comes to the Thunder is comical. You have people on this sub unironically complaining that the refs didn’t rig the game to prevent OKC from winning lmfao
Shouldn’t have fouled
His own teammate trucked him.
harper jr literally jumped on his back. it was obviously a foul and i know that because if it wasn’t the replay would already be posted on this subreddit with 5k upvotes
Real
[deleted]
Dude I’m a celts fan and they made a fucking sandwich out of him
Wasn’t that an OKC player that jumped up on Chet and pushed him into the Celtics player?
Call wasn’t on Hauser, pretty sure.
It was on Ron Harper Jr, who definitely hacked Chet all on his own.
Edit: call was on Hauser on the court, but Harper def fouled him, so it doesn’t really matter.
A foul is a foul lol why should the clock matter
Let’s apply this logic to Jaylen Brown once lol
He had 14 FTs tonight…
Cool, which one wasn’t blatant?
The man got thrown out of a game just days ago against the Spurs after being blatantly fouled.
Be for real…
He’s the only superstar in the league that doesn’t ROUTINELY get superstar calls
I mean Bam had 40 free throws so I guess he could have more. Keep up the good work champ!
The cope is crazy
K.
Barely squeezed out a win against a team that didn’t even have an 80% (at best) Tatum.
Great job 👏
We were missing two starters…
Keep coping buddy.
Lmao that wasn’t a close call they mugged the fuck out of him
Yeah I want you to watch that call again and tell me that
Just did, still true
Bruh I’m a Celtics fan and Chet got fouled like 3 times in the span of 1 second
Ahahaha. Bro, that was an obvious foul. I was hoping it wasn’t but on the replay there’s no way you don’t call that.
Well one team gets that call apparently
JB got a weak call the play before for FTs
I have fouls calls at the end but that was a foul.
Chet got collapsed on hard, but I don’t know the rules and I would not have been mad if that went uncalled
FTs are awarded when the player gets fouled, are you watching basketball for the first time in your life?
they usually don’t on end of regulation loose balls/rebounds
Free throws are awarded when the referees call a foul. That does not necessarily mean that one occurred. Alternatively, a foul can occur without being called as such.
M’lady tips fedora
Are you stupid his own teammate ran into him and pushed him into the Celtics player
Didn’t know Ron Harper Jr was his teammate
Wasn’t it Dort that jumped on Chet’s back? I need to see a replay of it
Sir, I’m afraid it is you that is stupid. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
He got fouled, you could argue it wasn’t a shooting foul, but they might have been in the bonus anyway.
They can’t all be step back threes.
More NBA bullshit lol. another Thunder player hits Chet and they blow the whistle. Stupid ass sport
Ron Harper Jr. hacked the shit out of him but okay
You’re not right about this one.
That’s how you know OKC is the third reich of basketball you’ve got lakers fans and Celtics fans agreeing
Glad you enjoyed the MVP putting up a masterclass to lead his team to victory!
If you don’t like that you don’t like OKC basketball
Bro I’m so confused how was chet not fouled there
Delusion. Narratives are a strong drug.
They don’t know they just complain
I think Chet was fouled, but he was also pushed in the back by his own teammate, so I say play on in that situation
Don’t foul?
Lol. Lmao even.
… after Jaylen Brown got thrown out against the Spurs just days ago for arguing a blatant non-call.
Which your team was lucky to have happen.
You would have lost otherwise
STILL CRYING
I respect the Celtics so much but damn do some of y’all whine a lot.
It’s probably a new culture thing ever since the whiner Jaylen Brown took over your team. Cannot wait for Tatum be your no1 again.
Typical /r/nba nephew. Misses SGA dominating and only knows one thing to say.
Classic okc flops
Heck of a game.
Crazy ass shot
34/6/7 and 3 stocks showed why he deserves to be in MVP convos tonight.
No Tatum and White and we right there with OKC
Great player. And ik Tatum is Tatum but OKC are missing JDub and iHart
JDub has been terrible when he has played this season, Tatum White and Vucevic are much bigger losses
jdub had been slowly gettig better after coming back and before he got injured again he was actually playing insane. went 11⁄11 then got injured
Yessir he had like 27 points that game before coming off due to his hamstring. He was straight up balling.
JDub didnt play like 20 games in a row this season. Im not worried about him, he went for 40 pts with a bad wrist in the finals. Our defense and attack will be so much better. Not to say OKC has the best player in the court
JDub has been terrible when he has played… Tatum, Vucevic are bigger losses
No way you set up your own guys like this …
no ihart is definitely a blow but jdub has actively made the team worse when he played this year
But what were his on/offs?? /s
You played noticeably worse any time he was on the court.
Not /s.
If you honestly think we don’t get blown out without JB youre crazy
You don’t tho. I watched the game from minute 1 to 48. No JB means the ball probably gets into the hands of your other players, which were incredibly more dangerous than him in this game. Your bench was the reason you didn’t get blown out.
You’re trying to force it. I don’t know how you watched this game, watched him stink it up, watched him go 2⁄8 in the 4th, and concluded that he deserves to be in convos with SGA lmao.
Come on man, this is fucking stupid.
What’s stupid is denying the reality. The reality being is that Jaylen Brown is a negative impact on the Celtics, was out-performed and outclassed, and deserves to be nowhere near MVP conversations.
I’m excited for JT to get fully healthy again, so I never have to hear Celtics fans try to force a B-tier player in S-tier convos ever again.
34 points on 13 FTs, 10⁄25 FG and 6 TOs. His team noticeably played worse when was on the court as well, further proven by his -10.
Struggled to defend Shai anytime he was on him as well.
If this game is anything to go by, it showed why he deserves to be nowhere near them. Shai’s the better player, by a mile and a half.
Damn, that was tough.
How can he pick up his planted pivot foot and choose a new pivot foot? Am I trippin?
Your comment is the first I read mentioning this and I scrolled down a lot
Same I scrolled the whole damn thread and was like well shit I guess I’m the only one gonna say it
NBA rarely calls travel, especially in the clutch. They let the players decide the outcome unless it’s the most egregious violation.
Wack and even more wack when you consider this game was won on Chet FTs. Refs are more than happy to decide a game via points at the line. And taking multiple steps to the hoop is one thing, but straight up switching the pivot foot when you picked up your dribble is as clear cut a travel as there is.
Changes his pivot and then slides it like half a foot before jumping lmao
He never picks up his pivot. He pretty much slides into a stopped position where his right foot is his pivot.
Technically it’s a travel when he spins and the heel of his right foot lifts up and then the toe of his right foot lifts up
Either way they don’t really call that as long as you only do it once.
The rest of the shot is just a step thru with his left foot. That’s legal.
ngl ive been sleeping on jaylen brown. That block on Chet + the fast break dunk was really good
still glad the thunder won tho lol
A great ending was ruined by the refs taking over.
Dort fouled Chet
100% thank you. Last Shai shot was a full extension push-off too.
He never gets called for that, often I’ve seen the defense whistled for a foul
Right, that’s the issue
The sooner you accept that he won’t get called for an offensive foul on that the easier these games against OKC will be for you
It’s terrible to watch. Maybe enough of us can choose to stop
Too bad refball came in coulda had a amazing OT
Chet is making the putback if he isn’t fouled though lol
Dort shoved him 😭
I 100% agree with this take. We lose either way., but goddamn do I hate watching Dort do some fuck shit and it go his way.
Well luckily everything is called a foul for you guys
I guess we’ll never know
We will always know the thunder won against the celtics on March 12th, 2026
Nobody will remember this game huh lmao
Normally you’d be right but a wilt record was broken tonight
Celtics were only able to be in position for that because of bailouts on that weak foul JB got
Then the zebras come in :/
This guy got the biggest zebra for someone who complains so much about it. Fuckin annoying ass guy
Dude probably doubled the his single game free throw attempts on the season tonight
Raptor fans talking about Zebras, yo got a whole series extended to 7 games because of the zebras.
Zebras forced the Celtics to foul Holmgren :(
Even our broadcast team said it was a foul right away, and it definitely was. It was on us for letting Chet get the rebound regardless
You dont make that call in that moment man that shit is terrible
Why did the refs not rig it for OKC to lose:/
I’m sure u weren’t part of the group who thought brown got shoved out of bounds last game right… right. If that was brown u would be begging for it to be called but since it isn’t ur team it isn’t a foul
Okc fans are so annoying/sensitive, give it a rest
such a bs foul call, at that point just send it to OT
“It was a foul but i dont like the vibes :( let it go to ot”
For real lmao these people have a psychosis against OKC.
you and I both know that was a weak ass foul call be so fr
He got hacked what r u saying
I think most of the contact was Dort pushing his own guy from behind. Would like to see it again tho
Are you fr bruh lmao. He got hacked by 2 people
Clutch
Okc fans didn’t believe when I said the refs making bread tonight
and soft ass foul to ruin it,this why nba is dead i checked espn to see that jb made a clutch shot I turn the fucking game on and dude is on the ground and wins bc of fts
LMAO Payton Michael Pritchard
Great offense beats good defense. Just insane footwork and an insane shot.
Such insane footwork that nobody seems to be able to see that he completely switched his pivot foot with all that jerking and spinning around
“you shouldn’t call blatant fouls if it’s the final possession” crowd out here tonight
This year he’s greatly improved the smoothness of his jumpshot (no more holding at the top) and also non-coincidentally increased his arc on tough shots.
Okay you’re right, this is fine actually
Nothing but net
The finals matchup we were robbed for two seasons in a row. Excited for a healthy series if we get there!
Thunder definitely didn’t deserve to make it in 2024, they got smoked fair and square in the 2nd round
That was pretty. The prettiest move sequence I remember seeing from JB to be honest.
Great game ruined by OKC getting bailed out by refs. Sick league!
It should be impossible to win a game off free throws. Change the rules to ALL foul calls with 24 seconds left do the following
24 seconds or less, tied game: side out
16 seconds or less, tied game: clock reset to 16, side out
And then if you are down 3 and get fouled you get 1 FT and a side out. This can repeat until the game is tied.
Cool play. Definitely a travel though. That pivot crossed timezones
And… the game ends with a foul. Gotta love NBA basketball!
Then don’t hack Chet
Someone give Dort the memo, no idea what he was doing there
End of a great game fucking ruined. This one had the potential to go multiple OT and be an all timer. Neither team was blinking
You don’t call that foul. Chet pushed for the rebound and then dort and Harper ran into him. Get why they called it but it was the wrong call
