OKC Blue Set to Open up G League Finals Against Maine Celtics
The Oklahoma City Blue head to Maine to take on the Celtics in game one of the NBA G League Finals on Tuesday night. The game will tip-off at 7 PM CT and be broadcast Nationally on ESPN News.
The Blue and Celtics have matched up twice this season with Maine taking home both games. The Oklahoma City Blue fell by six points and 11 points back in December. This has led to the Celtics owning home-court advantage in the best of three G League finals. The Blue will host game two in the Paycom Center on Thursday at 7 PM CT.
Jordan Walsh and JD Peterson will be tough for the Thunder to handle as Walsh in the first matchup against the Blue went for a near double-double and Peterson led the way with 20 points. Walsh came back in the second matchup this season against the Blue to post a 23-point 10 rebound outing.
The OKC Blue can create an advantage down-low in the form of Olivier Sarr, who only played in one of the two regular-season games against the Celtics where he dropped off a double-double.
Former NBA Draft Lottery pick Ousmane Dieng posted one of his better scoring performances against Maine back in December going for 25 points, five rebounds and three steals.
Just as they relied on him Sunday to punch their ticket to the Finals, the Blue will lean on former second-round pick Jahmi’us Ramsey who posted 23 points off the pine on 60 percent shooting back in December against the Celtics.
These two teams have come a long way since December with loaded rosters to boot that feature 13 players with NBA experience.
This is the second trip to the NBA G League Finals for the Oklahoma City Blue, falling in their first appearance to the Chris Finch-coached Rio Grande Valley Vipers back in 2010.

The recent rain in Maine is easing the drought that parts of the state have been experiencing since the fall.
Scott Dean, a Spectrum meteorologist, said much of Maine has been at least “dry” for several months. Parts of the state, including Portland, Bangor and Bar Harbor, are under a “moderate” drought.
Much of the country is also experiencing a drought, Dean added. The Southeast is seeing extreme levels of drought, and the West coast has been under a drought for years. There are many factors that go into this, including climate change, weather patterns like El Niño and La Niña and other factors.
And, when an area does experience drought, it can become a feedback loop. With less moisture in the ground and atmosphere, the drought can “feed upon itself,” Dean said.
“It takes a while to get into a drought and it also takes a while to get out of one,” Dean said.
But, the rainy days in Maine have been alleviating the drought, Dean said. And, the trend is likely to continue — the forecast is predicting above average levels of precipitation for the next three to four weeks.
“Hopefully, we are continuing to head in the right direction as the drought has eased in these areas,” Dean said.
In fact, if these rains do continue, Maine could come out of the drought sometime this summer.
