Not a great end to the 3rd quarter but up 25 points heading into the 4th quarter should be no problem

Garbage end to the quarter. That Pritchard blown layup leading to the Theis open three gives the clippers some life

I might be the only one, but I want to see some Banton minutes in the 4th quarter.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Nitpicking, but Tatum jacked up a bad three, and then threw a lazy pass to end that quarter.

Even if you are a fan of Kornet, you have to admit. Every time we see queta he's looking more and more promising.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Celtics don’t need Westbrook blowing off JT and JB only to take a ridiculous shot. No thank you

Cs could've rested the starters in the 4th.

Tatum has to be done for the night. You don't want him back in there with that ankle.

But he can get to the rim.

and surrounded with shooters is ideal for him.

Extend him.


Didn't he already get a 3-year contract just this year? Can he be extended right away?

EDIT: My mistake. He signed the 3-year contract last year.

Yeah only 1 more year on his contract, 24-25 season, a team option which will obviously be picked up.

Pretty sure he's extension-eligible this upcoming summer.
