I'm very surprised how easy this game was for the Celtics. Yes, we pissed a 20 point lead away, but I felt as if the Celtics were just killing this team all game.
Ray Allen may have led the team in scoring but the real story of the game is that bench saved our ass. The Celtics bench outscored OKC's second unit 33-12. Daniels, Davis, Robinson, and Erden each chipped in with 7 or more points. Including a crazy 3 by Nate to end the half, and big shots from Davis to swing the momentum back our way in the second half.
Durant is a hell of a scorer, he ended the game with 34 points with 11 of 22 scoring, but I think he really needs to learn to pass. The difference between him and guys like Kobe, Pierce and Dwayne Wade is that they can pass, but they realize there are others on their team. He seems to not trust anyone on the team. The Thunder remain a cute team, but even when Jeff Green comes back if Durant continues to only be a scorer, this team is going no where.
Either way, the Celtics are having a hell of a start to the season.
