We are f..ed. Kawhi out. He just cant stay healthy. He barely fell. Hes definitely made of glass.

With or without Leonard hopefully the Clippers can pull out a W since the Celtics are missing key players as well. But, if they don't, the Clippers have a pretty favorable schedule coming up and should be fine.

A marquee matchup with a 12:30pm start time. Our new arena can't come fast enough

I too am unhappy about this. I was hoping we had a new Kawhi. He has not played more than 60 games since 2016-17.

The cheers are too damn loud for Boston.

Praying that Kawhi doesn’t have something worse . I didn’t even see the hip get hit. He grabbed more at his knee. Harden is going to have to get more aggressive and score more.

Russ should go to rim instead of stepback jump shots when defended by freakin Sam Hauser.

We look like a different team without Kawhi. Russ is off today. Mann’s shot is ugh. Our defensive rebounding is killing us.

Percentages are about even but Celts killing it on the boards 22-12.

Not piling on at all but Mann does not look ready to play

After the Celtics made their millionth consecutive three, I gave up and changed the channel to football. Somehow, after trading all our picks for the next decade, this team is still hopeless without Kawhi.

Game over. Cant defend/ Cant rebound. We are getting assaulted, giving up offensive rebounds and wide open 3s. PG making buckets but nothing else. Queta who is a scrub is just standing there getting rebounds. Embarrassing.

First game back after a road trip is usually a mess. Not really like a real home game. Getting settled back in, family, etc.

To repeat, 4th game in 5 1/2 days and of course it's a matinee, which we are terrible at. I'd rather be the visiting team staying in a hotel a few blocks or miles away than driving in from home at 9 or 10 AM.

They're just not there today. Not making excuses but these are the facts. They're human beings too.

Been watching boxing all day, looks like we are a .500 team without Kawhi. So we don't really stand a chance against BOS.

all you did was make excuses for why they suck today

How does Bones not get a look in this game? Coffey with only one shot attempt? Russ and Mann are bad. Can't play Harden the entire game. If this continues with Russ and Mann not scoring and Coffey not stepping up, next man up in Bones and Boston.

Reasons. Not the same thing.
