Celtics (13-22) at Clippers (24-13) Game #36 1/8/14

[D.o.s.]

Ridiculous.

That Jamal Crawford 3? Yesh.

[Beat LA]

I catch myself really pulling for KO but he just does not have it.

Sigh.  I agree (especially after that brilliant foul on Crawford near the end of the half - that was lovely.  What intelligence!  ), but I would like to at least see him on the block just one time in a game before we can call him a bust.  Not that that would necessary yield positive results, but that was supposed to be his forte, along with his passing (which has been pretty good).  I think the last time he got in the post was in garbage time against the Pacers in Indy, where his turnaround jumper attempt was stuffed by Chris Copeland.  Chris Copeland!  Wow.  Any sliver of hope I had for the guy was completely extinguished at that point.  He was almost as bad as I was when I used to try and play haha.

But hey everybody - we're outrebounding a Doc-lead team!  Woo.  Does that even count as a positive?

[Celtics18]

Take care of the ball, and get back on defense.  I don't care if they score another point in this half. 

[D.o.s.]

We're outrebounding them, and we're still losing. That could be telling.

I don't trust anyone who thinks Olynck is a competent basketball player.

I don't trust anyone who can't learn to spell the names of Celtics players.

Incorrectly spelling a strange name like Olynyk is far less troubling than the people on this board that don't see that this guy has all the trappings of yet another Celtic player that you guys will be high on for a few years before finally throwing in the towel. If he played smart basketball it would be a different story but I can't think much out of a guy who has a classic college game that doesn't translate to the pros, hasn't shot well, is timid and hasn't even shown a high BBIQ other than with his passing. And if he did happen to be good offensively he would get Steve Novak minutes on a good team because his defense is so bad.

[Celtics18]

You can't stop Brandon Bass, you can only hope to contain him.

[D.o.s.]

In other news, Bass for the and-one. Four point game.

And you should spell it KELLLEH OKLYNKYKNK.

To you, maybe.  How would you feel if I spelled your strange name something like A-N-E-D-E-R-U.

Lol at  Bradley staring at Griffin.

[D.o.s.]

Avery Bryant and-1 for the lead!

Well he missed the FT. but still!

[Celtics18]

Avery is getting intense now.  He's actually searching out Blake Griffin on defense.  "Put me on him, coach."

[D.o.s.]

Sorry Kris, but that was quite the poster.

[fairweatherfan]

Sorry Kris, but that was quite the poster.

It's a good highlight but I hate how much explosive jumpers get away with using the off-arm to climb up on a guy.

[Nerf DPOY]

Is there any team in the league that hasn't had an on-the-court beef with Blake Griffin?

[Celtics18]

Good timeout, coach.  Don't let them self-destruct here. 

Maybe, now would be a good time to give Jordan a little breather and let him cool down.
