The Celtics rolled over for the Lakers in pitiful fashion last night, so I fully expect them to look like the greatest team ever tonight. Al Horford will turn into Steph Curry.

Good to have Batum back but PG now questionable.

Scratched Loss

Without George this season, Clippers are winless. The sitout he took vs. Kings (due to rest) gave Clippers their first ever 3-game losing streak and reduced title chances. Consider this game a scratched loss.

People forget PG's also our best defensive player, and burns the candle at both ends. And Reggie's been performing well, being pressed beyond his ability and ideal role as our second option @ 17.2 ppg. And BB getting NBA rotation minutes after just turning 20 should NOT be happening in freaking DECEMBER.

Time for the rest to step up BIGTIME, like Norman frigging Powell did the other night. I'm getting a little irritated at some of these guys. Percentages and PERs are nice; PRODUCTION is what counts on the scoreboard.

T-Mann came to play, thank you

Schroder is far from a perfect player but we could have had him instead of the unplayable Justise Winslow

GREAT CLIPPERS MOMENT:

BB takes it to the hole through Marcus Smart, a plus defender. Then gets T-ed up for taunting. :lol:

We've been waiting for an athletic kid to play this game without fear We have plenty of role players to cover up on D, many more than we had in the Jamal days.

Clips outscoring BOS 22-11 in the 2nd quarter. Make that 25-11!!

this kid is just so much fun. how did we get this guy? we are so lucky lol

also gotta say, really smart decision by lue to keep boston in for the rest of the half. he was hitting everything, and letting a super young player build his confidence by staying in the game will be huge for his growth. definitely not something we'd have seen if doc rivers were still around.
