East Coast road trip
"schedule loss"
they even have to go through customs!

could be a preview of the Finals

Clippers seem to be ready to take them on
PG and Kawhi playing b2b
and a loss won't be fatal
in fact without Zu, meaningless

a win would be a huge statement, though

This one is rough, hope Porzingis doesn't play to even out us not having Zu. I do expect us to come out swinging since we got blown out in our house without Kawhi. Shooting poorly from 3 in TOR could be a blessing cause they might have the touch for this one. Overall I think we need to put up about 120 points to win or be close to winning. Hope BOS comes out cold from 3 (since its their whole offense). Winning this one would be huge! Let's go Clip Joint!

I would love for us to make a statement and beat the Celtics so I can talk more smack to my Celtics buddy about his team living and dying by the 3

Not feeling a win here but let’s show out.

Porzingis is out.

Hate these B2Bs. If the Celtics start blowing it open, the Clippers should just get ready for the Cavs on Monday. Don't want to see a two game losing streak.

Good thing we won last night, because this has "schedule loss" written all over it. Hope I'm wrong.

My head tells me it's a loss. My heart tells me we can win this one.

Rebound the damn ball. Sheesh.

Leonard gets no respect from the refs. It’s unreal.

Haven’t said this often this year but Westbrook is hurting us right now.

Mann got better.

Pretty good start all things considered.

I swear I thought the refs only took care of LAL. Guess they're told to take care of BOS too. :crazy: :noway:

PG TO city. I wish Ty Lue knew what it takes to light a fire under guy. Apparently playing against the best team doesn't make him pay attention to detail :banghead:

Leonard barely touched the ball in the second quarter after his hot first quarter. His only shot was a prayer at the buzzer. Inexcusable.

after three bad possessions, watching pg prance, dance, cross his guy over, then make a pass to plumlee for the bucket is probably the equivalent of watching a child run into traffic and then make it out to the other side lol

When the 3s aren't falling, this Celtics team ain't anything special. I expect them to shoot better in the 2nd half.

So far so good. BOS is cold from 3, but I really like the defensive intensity today. Good rebounding, good switching and scoring in the paint. Need another strong quarter to put this away. LET'S GO!!!!

Good first half overall. Couple of suspect stretches from Russ & PG but we managed. Exceptional defense. Those Theis minutes were huge
