Clippers (11-7) at Celtics (14-3) Game #18 11/25/24

[Neurotic Guy]

Great to hear KP in the post-game interview. His mastery of English I find remarkable.  He uses colloquial language, slang, aphorisms, metaphors, like he grew up in the heart of America. He must have a knack for language as I think he speaks a handful, but his vocabulary in English is crazy. Guy is brilliant.

TP's for everyone!!!!
that was a nice old fashioned butt kicking.  more of this!!!

Wow what happened in the first half?

51-2nd quarter points? That an all-time record for the Celtics? Can't wait to clown on some Clipper fans at work tomorrow

The Celtics tied the record for 3 pointers in a quarter with 12.

The Celtics scored 54 in a quarter in 1969.

KP makes it so easy for the rest of the team just being on the court mess the opponents up . Other four Celtics destroy the single coverages .

But he does need to remain upright.

PP led the team with a +30, Q next with a +29, and Sam next with a +27....that is one helluva good bench.

PP is a real weapon, and we have him locked in for cheap. What a luxury to have him off the bench.

He has been really amazing with squelching opponents' runs.  He's been reliably coming in hot.  If both he and Hauser are feeling it, then the bench is pretty much going to be a net positive.

Yeah, and then we'll have Horford coming off the bench, too, which should help.  Queta has his place, too.  It's a solid group.

That is exactly right.  People seem to think of Horford as a stater, but when we have Porzingis, Horford is part of our bench.  Our 6-7-8 are Horford, Prichard, Hauser.  We get kind of thin after that be we are unbelievably strong 1-8.  So if Queta can emerge as a playoff rotation level bench piece, that makes us even stronger.

Law Murray: James Harden on Boston tonight: ?They got shooters? obviously defending champs. We?re coming off a b2b. They?re a great team. Didn?t really have time to game plan. They hit us in the mouth, and it was one of those games? had an OK start. And then 2Q, they kind of blitzed us.?

Sure James, whatever you say....

This makes zero sense. The Celtics were coming off a b2b too and we had it worse playing the Wolves. His squad should've have zero issues dealing with a dysfunctional 76ers team. Plenty of time to game plan for them.
