31 minutes though when Shamet only had 3 points in the entire second half. It’s not like he’s a major defender, rebounder and as a playmaker he had zero assists and 3 turnovers. Doc seemed to just go through the motions with this one Shamet probably had his worse game with the team and there is a reason all the rest of the starters finished on the negatives as well.

They won fine enough just need to cut down the turnovers and Doc needs to stop playing these little mind games with SGA





If Shamet's to be the new whipping boy, well, stay tuned. He's not afraid to shoot, and had two 3-balls go all the way in just to rattle out. He takes good shots and helps the spacing a lot more than Shai. He is not a problem.

People should be worrying what's wrong with Shai rather than what's wrong with Doc. He's way too passive and behind the action.

Put a gun to my head and I guess I’d rather miss the playoffs, but I still mainly just want to see us play well.

Beat case scenario is we keeping playing well and winning, but either Kings or Lakers go on a streak and eventually pass us.


Exactly where I'm at. But hey, we could even get to the 7th seed and knock off Denver to get to the 2nd round. That would be a helluva lot of fun, don't you think?

Just getting the 7th and knowing we have a shot to win in the 1st round would be awesome- win or lose.

I would expect us to be competitive. Plus at that point the better we do, the worse the pick gets for the Celtics!

Huge win. I liked how smart they played to close it out in the 4th.

Before the season did anyone think the Clippers would be a game out of 5th with 22 games to go?

Nice win but why is was Shai held to only 15 minutes in this game?? He had a nice all star break. I'd ride his momentum if I was Doc

The boxscore looks funny with 4 starters in single digits. I think SGA, Shamet, and Bev all can make a case to start but should the team continue with that lineup? Hats off to Bev who is rebounding well. Will Luke or Wilson start if they are activated?

Another thought is do we really need both of these guys? They're basically the same player at this point in their careers imo. Luc hasn't contributed at all this season.

LOL.

With the Lakers getting skunked by the New Orleans Walking Dead tonight, and us holding the tiebreaker over the Sacs, the playoffs are an increasing possibility.
