Celtics (30-13) at Clippers (24-18) Game #44 1/22/25

I've not seen Springer guard this aggressively here in Boston. Love to see it. He's really changed the energy of the game since coming in.

You do have to wonder if playing more of Walsh and Springer is needed just for their defensive energy alone. It seems to have a positive effect on the others when out there, which may just be what these guys need, as they seem fatigued and still dealing with some of the hangover effect.

White is quickly becoming the new Smart with these "No, no, no, yes!" shots. His shot selection irks me to no end.

[blink]

excellent steal by Springer

[ozgod]

They?ve gone up a level defensively, led by springer and his 4 steals

All of a sudden Clips have 23 turnovers and look hesitant on O

That was such a bad shot from Tatum after another Springer/Brown steal.

what happened to tatum mid range shot...it wasnt great but [dang] its bad,

[trickybilly]

Crazy how quiet this building is though, or are the crowd mics just super low??

[keevsnick]

The last White play was very dumb. Had Jaylen on the swing to the corner and just drove into a crowd. Uncharacteristic bad decision from him.

[bello_man09]

what is tatum doing

[jpotter33]

Too much iso from Tatum.

Forcing penetration is not advisable against this scrappy Clippers defense. Tatum and White have both done it and turned it over the last several possessions.

[bello_man09]

Springer like 4 against 5 cant even hit the rim when you are wide open

[keevsnick]

The play making defense is what makes Springer so intriguing. The complete lack of any real offensive role is why he is in a rotation.

[jpotter33]

Atta baby, Springer! Punish them if they leave you open like that.

[Phantom255x]

SPRINGER!!!

[ozgod]

Brown loses the ball
