Celtics (13-12) at Clippers (13-12) Game #26 12/8/21

[jpotter33]

So much for all of Ime's previous success of getting the guys to play hard every night. The last few weeks we've started seeing more and more of these games and efforts.

And I think a lot of it starts with Tatum. The team always ends up playing like this when he plays low energy and lackluster.

Schroder hobbling out there now, and still no Pritchard.

Another TO.  We look like a G league team out there.

G-League guys play harder.

[celticsclay]

At least a tiny spark. Don’t expect us to win at this point. I would like to see us show some heart at least.

Yeah, it's a long season. No reason to have Schroder playing on that ankle in this one.

[liam]

Grant's playing hard!

[Somebody]

Wow tuned in during the third and this looks dicey.

[liam]

Why is the rotation so short on the 2nd night of a back to back?

So far it's a clipper's blowout.

Or maybe it's the coach for not having any plan Bs when Tatum isn't going? Sure Brown is unavailable, but last time I checked Schroeder's entire game is based on his on-ball creation. This is a Clippers team missing both of its stars so we're not getting out-talented here.

[Kiorrik]

Surely just a common foul?

Oh wow.

[ozgod]

Took a nap and checking in why are we behind? Are we playing bad?

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Tatum.

The Celtics are also napping!

[ozgod]

Looking at box score looks like we got blown away in the 2nd?
