Yes it is BUT I hate it when people just figure it's automatic and all we need to do is show up. You know any team can beat any team on any given night. You actually have to play the game. The first time we played them AT HOME we won 113-107. Not exactly a mail-in victory. I remember Nance had a big game and Ingram was hitting shots from everywhere. Remember this is a road game in their house and their fans will be loud so we actually have to play and play well. No games are EASY. One good thing is there is no Lou Williams to worry about.

With a week of spring break starting for me after today, can definitely watch even late night!

Nice timing for a West Coast Trip LOL.

Nothing is ever easy for this team.  They have to fight for every win.

Both C's starters and bench are playing at a good level and shaking off all-star rustiness. Bradley is back. The Lakers are awful. We have become a top team. I predict Gino Time. The Lakers would be crazy to not tank considering the pick condition with the 76'ers in play.

It's Stevens' job to keep the players motivated. I'm hoping we steal a game from Golden State, then the schedule starts looking like mostly these kind of potential trap games.

We had just had a big win against Cleveland. Avery looked good for someone just getting back. That's quite a bitter way to follow the time, always expecting the worst. It is just about Gino Time as the game approaches halftime.

I'm not surprised we are pounding the Lakers. I can see how good we are and have been expressing this sentiment all season. This is classic I told you so.

Yeah, but...

Sure the Cs looked great. Jaylen Brown, Ladies and Gents, Jaylen Brown. Still, it's just sad watching the Lakers just flounder and flail like that as the the Celtics prepare for what looks to be a long run at the top of the league. There's some pretty good players there. However, let's face it: Walton is not an NBA coach. Surely there's a college JV team somewhere with his name on it.  And Jesus H.,  MAGIC is going to GM? Crap. Great players (and Earvin was one) generally make lousy coaches and terrible Front Office folk (Bird, as always, was the exception).

Time to fold this team. The Clippers are the pride of the NBA in LA now. Why do they need this sad, has-been organization stinking up the Staples Center? Guys? Everyone? It's over...pack it up and go home...
