Game 53: Clippers (35-17) @ Boston (31-23)

The Clippers better come to play tonight. Under coach Brad Stevens, the Celtics will compete from the opening tip-off. They'll be particularly amped coming off a last-second loss in Milwaukee last night. I've heard it argued that Boston is a team full of role players headlined by Jae Crowder, but they're a dangerous opponent, especially if taken lightly. ESPN's most recent NBA Power Rankings also have the Clippers actually below the Celtics.

real tough to score on this defense. team is being forced into bad shots but they're also doing lots of little bad things too.

Has it been that bad though? Clippers are shooting 54/43 and have 20 assists on 29 FGA. I think it just looks hard because the defense has been non-existent. The only issue has been the turnovers.

didn't see first half really but 3rd quarter felt pretty rough with repeated end of clock shots that went nowhere. picked up though i think.
