Clippers (21-15) at Celtics (25-10) Game #36 12/29/22

[Csfan1984]

first half hot takes:
- J's are playing well. 
- C's maintaining a lead thanks to taking care of the ball.  need that to continue to win this game
- Clips offense was going about as well as it could most of the half in terms of getting the shots they want and they still trail.  Boston needs someone besides the J's to really step it up in the second half.

and unfortunately for GreenlyGreeny, Kawhi has looked good but he's not blowing us away nor better than Jaylen -- and definitely not playing at a level that would justify trading Jaylen and all our future picks for him.   

Watching Hauser hold his own on Kawhi isn't promising on Kawhi for Jaylen seekers.

Not good...

[hpantazo]

Just would like to note, Mazzulla would very likely have not called a timeout here

Terrible D to start the half. Awful PnR coverage, and we're way overhelping and getting caught ball watching.

We get up and stop playing the right way. Frustrating.

Quick timeout by Damon. Let’s see how the guys react.

Why is Brogdon out ? - I missed that one.

Non covid illness.

TY sir

Thinking the same...

[Goldstar88]

Really kills the bench when Brogdon misses time. Rob is the only non starter that has scored.

agreed.  they'd still be left to figure it out until the Clips built a 10 point lead.

What's a guy have to do to get a TY?

[slamtheking]

Really? our ATO play is a Tatum 3 early in the shot clock?

[jpotter33]

Feels like JB gets beat off the dribble alot more this year than in years past.

[jpotter33]

And we're back to chucking instead of doing what worked all first half long.

[slamtheking]

our offense is just turned to crap.  so has our D
