Clippers (29-26) at Celtics (40-18) Game #59 2/14/18

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Our shooting percentages are ugly

our shooting DECISIONS ARE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!

[TheisTheisBaby]

Our inability to make WIDE OPEN SHOTS is unreal.  Just like the Cavs game the defense is doing nothing to stop us.  We just aren't knocking down shots we've been making all season long.

This is unwatchable... they need to fix this over the ASB

Except 4 players will be at All-Star weekend.

This is just an embarrassing defensive effort. How many 30+ points in the 1st have we gave up already without Smart?

Their front court is what's killing the C's. Their starting back court has 6 points total and Lou Will still has 0 points.

They've been killed in the perimeter in the last few games. Smart's presence is not just limited on perimeter defense. He's also a traffic guy that knows and tell guys where to position. This is also the guy that successfully locked down Porzingis, Davis and Millsap in the past.

For like 2 or 3 plays?

[celticinorlando]

They don't even try on defense anymore. Just no energy or effort

[ChillyWilly]

The positive thing in all of this is... it's Vday so my wife can't have a headache or wash her hair 

[droopdog7]

Boston is so easy to defend...back the paint and just let Boston chuck up lazy 3

This is painful to watch

so why doesnt brad tell them to do something differfeent? i am still waiting for someone to answer lol

NBA is a players league.  They have all the freedom to do whatever their ability allows them to do.  We’re in a funk.  No more, no less.

This team deserves the boo birds. They have played with zero energy or intensity the last several weeks, especially defensively.

It's amazing how the mentality/character of this team is so far off from what it was early in the season, especially since Smart has been down.

Crucial "2 or 3" plays with regularity.

[Rosco917]

The Clippers are doubling the ball and challenging the C's to find the open man and hit the shot.

The Celtics just can't shoot.

NO NO NO, we take stupid shots over and over and over. go back and watch how this team attacked paint with a nix mix of jays early on. now? we look flat out stupid

[celticinorlando]

I am preparing myself now for Boston being down 20 plus at the half. They have done nothing this half. Going through the motions would be an improvement

[Chief]

CBS doesn't like low post basketball.

Teodosić looks like Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap

Well unless he grows another 5-6 inches, I don't see how'd help keep DAJ off the offensive glass with regularity.
