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

Those kinds of Holiday threes we've simply got to cut down on. Just awful shot selection, especially given that we've come out cold and given up some of the lead already.

Gee Joe, how did the Clippers just make a 13-2 run ?
Horrible shot selection and 4 sloppy turnovers.
Will this team EVER learn ? No.

Tatum will excuse this with his, "the opponent will make runs" quote.

Scal is so annoying. Yeesh

Yep. He is wandering into cringe-worthy territory.

There you go, KP. I like seeing more of an emphasis on the post ups and taking it to the rim this half.

Yep, they will never learn. If only they did, might have won the championship last year. Oh, wait.

Came out flat in 3rd quarter

Tatum does not look like himself.

Absolutely putrid third quarter. Cs going to find themselves in a close game late 4th quarter. Just letting a marginal Clippers team hang around and lull them to sleep.

[jpotter33]

That's the problem with the extreme three point philosophy - very streaky. Our 29 point lead has already been cut in half because we came out in the third and continued to jack up bad threes and didn't adjust when they stopped falling.

Buckle down and look for better shots and not just the first three that we can jack up.

Doesn't change the fact that they play very bad offensive basketball with regularity. 
Think how dominant this team could be if they played smart, disciplined basketball most of the time.

[SCeltic34]

PP balls of steel.

[jpotter33]

While Tatum's on-ball defense has still been really good this year, I feel like I've noticed a slip in his off-ball defense, as evidenced by getting lost there ball watching.

Al with the "Pritch please"

It might look ugly when the shots aren?t falling, but it works more often than not. C?s are 3rd in the NBA in PPG. Second best record in the league. That?s without Porzingis.

The bench is making a huge difference tonight....PP,Sam,& Q.
