Yeah I'm concerned moving forward with this team this year after this beatdown.

Can't win without interior presence.

we need bigs?

What an absolute abomination of a defensive performance. This team should be embarrassed with the lack of effort, energy, passion, discipline and intelligence they showed on defense.

They gave up 140 points ....IN REGULATION!!!

The Clippers shot 61.6% from the field and 46.4% from three.

The Clippers outrebounded the Celtics 47-29 and secured 10 offensive rebounds.

The Clippers turned 13 Boston turnovers to 24 points.

The Celtics gave up 68 points in the paint.

The Celtics left LA wide open on the perimeter and the Clips shot 46%. The Celtics acted like they had never seen a high low pick and roll in their lives and so gave up tons of points in the paint as LA went to the basket at will.

Not one player can say they played good defense tonight. Not one.

On the bright side, nobody is going to claim we're better off without Jayson Tatum.

And the people advocating for Jaylen Brown to be put back in with the starters got some ammo for their case.

[Ogaju]

what happened to JT?

That means don't trade for Anthony Davis

You mean missiles, we're already well stocked on ammo

Agree with most of your post, but Jaylen Brown imo played good defense this game. He made a few very good steals off of very solid defense on LAC's guards (stayed in front of them and stole the ball) and put in the effort for most of the game.

I hate reading these posts how JB as a starter and JT out, is the reason we were blown out. Sorry guys. It's another one on Brad. Just try to count how many blow-outs and out-of-reach games we had this year. Waaay too many... I just didn't see some CBS's magic for so long.

We're better off without Jason Tatum.

Seems like every time I miss watching a game live they end up losing

I will force myself to watch my DVR to see how bad they were but I think we would all have taken 3-1 before the trip so it's been a good trip overall. Toronto got hammered by the Cavs and GS lost to the Suns...can't win every game.

I know you love weird contrarian posts, but how does this one even make sense in the wake of being absolutely beaten down by the Clippers?
