Celtics (11-2) at Clippers (9-5) Game #14 11/20/19

[Chef Parish]

This could be one of those games where we say only if they hit 1 of their 30 misses from the 3 point line

[BringToughnessBack]

 nice end to futile offensively challenged half!

They're better than the Clippers. If we can unleash Kemba, we can win.

The thing is we're actually playing well.  Most of those 3's were great looks, just one of those nights where they're not going in.  And if you told me that we'd hold the Clippers to 40 points in a half I'd be thrilled.

With that backdrop I'm really concerned for the 2nd half, even if we have a small lead.

[CF033]

If we make up for all our missed threes in the second half we might blow out the Clippers lol

[Ogaju]

I hate Brad's offense. Stop shooting 3s. Try to get a layup.

OTOH, our ugly play drags other teams to our level on nights like this.

You can't just stop shooting open 3's. Your offense is ruined when you have no spacing.

Si se puede

yeah that was a whole lot of grit and balls out there in the first half.
at times really great team def, scrambling cutting them off, switching.

we need to attack the paint and start shooting more free throws and stay aggressive

[NKY fan]

Incredible defense by both teams but Celtics defense is championship level this game so far. Maybe this is preview for what’s to come in June

[Rosco917]

This one strange contest of NBA basketball.

yeah there weren't a lot of bad 3's taken.

[Atzar]

Playing well.  Disruptive on defense.  Clippers have made some dumb mistakes, but we've also caused a lot of them.

We're struggling to get to the rim in the half court, but we're getting great shots from outside and just not hitting.  I have to think that we'll see a little bit of positive regression to the mean in the second half.  Hopefully the team collectively finds their stroke.

Ok, who had Wanamaker as our leading scorer at the half in the pool?  You get a free coke!

[tstorey_97]

Celtics 36.7%
Clips 37.5%

The ocean's right over there....we know you can do it guys

[ETNCeltics]

If Kemba could get hot in the 2nd half we could steal one.

I had Poirer...I was trying to retire on that bet
