See, the team is playing great basketball right now. Actually defending and moving the ball. Why they can't do this against marquee opponents or in clutch time is baffling to me.

you'd like to see Zu [2 points, minus-10] and Mann [0 points minus-13] contribute something here

Lou can't do everything [7 points minus-5, 3 assists]


Lou sticks a 3 to open the 4th :-D

I've seen enough of Luke for the season, honestly. What a disaster of a contract.

It would be nice if the Clippers got some love from the refs when they attack the basket...

They've been fouled on multiple attempts

Lou can't go for a steal like that unless he's sure he's coming up with the ball

This team is so far from actual contention, it's not even funny. And injuries aren't an excuse because the same **** happens against any decent opponent even when our whole roster is healthy.

It doesn't even really make that much of a difference to me if we somehow come back and win (don't see it happening with our awful clutch time offense, though). The Celtics aren't even that good and I'm just seeing postseason liabilities up and down the roster.

Playoff P and Luke's contracts are going to be the reason why this roster gets broken up without even making a conference finals. I hope I'm wrong, but I wasn't wrong about Lob City.

I guess the Clippers really have to start flopping to get calls because I don't know what else they have to do while Boston is getting phantom whistles in the paint

The refs have seriously been garbage every game since the first Nets game. I don't get it.

7 free throws the last game and only 9 so far this game. As physical on defense the last two opponents play, that's REALLY absurd

This team isn’t getting the best shot right now

George really did not need to force a 3PT shot there, I understand the thought to get a three so that if Boston makes a two, it's still a one possession game, but no need to force it up.
