[Kiorrik]

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

Yeah, no effort on D.

Boston wouldn't even see the court for the Celtics.

The Celtics are also napping!

Looks like it  they’re getting paid though I’m not

Yeah, no effort on D.

Bad on O also.

[footey]

Zubac is killing us on boards.

[ozgod]

Mini comeback on the cards?

[Kiorrik]

This is why you leave your starters in.

Good run.

Keep going. Leads disappear point by point. Keep chipping.

[liam]

I guess you can just play half the game...

[Goldstar88]

Here we go!

Mini comeback on the cards?

They have caught my attention with a defensive effort the last 5 trips. We have so much more talent than what the clippers are playing right now.

Good run.

Keep going. Leads disappear point by point. Keep chipping.

Yeah, just run the starters the whole rest of the game.

Yeah, no effort on D.

Bad on O also.

Well, turnover-wise I agree. Otherwise, we shoot and assist just fine.

So, where has this driving/penetrating Smart been all of his career? Don't have the data to support this empirically, but it seems to me that he is driving and getting good shots at the rim at least twice as much as he ever has in his career. He's so much more valuable offensively like this for us. Is it really just because he's the stating point guard now and doesn't have someone in front of him?

Big boy layup from JT

If it gets us the dub? Sure.
