The Boston Celtics caved in a second-half meltdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, scoring just 27 points in 24 minutes of play. On today’s episode, Billy and I discuss the lessons we can take from Boston’s loss and the adjustments the Thunder made to shut down the best offense in the league.

We also touched on Jaylen Brown’s struggles, Jayson Tatum’s chances in the MVP race, and what was real or fake from the Thunder’s performance. We then turn our attention to tonight’s game against the Denver Nuggets, where the Eastern Conference Player of the Week (Tatum) faces the Western Conference Player of the Week (Nikola Jokic.)

Can the Celtics bounce straight back into the win column? Will Denver have some ideas on how to keep the Celtics from getting hot from deep? And can the Nuggets find some cracks in the Celtics defense? We try to dive into all of these questions in today’s episode.
