so much for getting folks rest

[misha]

Wish they wouldn't let these so-so teams keep hanging around ... can't give mediocrity a foothold, it will take advantage every time.

So true.

Why wasn't Ray utilized that quarter? Our best shooter took 9 shots, and sheed 13 shots. C'mon man!

We have all seen this scenario before (76ers at home)  C's get a nice lead and just kind of start going through the motions.  Poor teams such as the Clippers will fold if you keep the throttle down but the C's refuse to do it.  Then they give them hope and wind up in a dogfight.  Not sure why this team lost it's killer instinct that it had during the championship year and even quite often last year.

C's gain only 2 points on the Clippers there and it's definitely a ballgame.

Looks like the Clippers are going to make Scals beat them while he is on the court. His man is doubling Sheed in the post every time.

kaman 11 points in the quarter...awful

[Bahku]

If they tighten up the defense inside and start attacking the basket more consistently, they can open this up and secure a win ... they just look so flat right now ... that's what I love about guys like Big Baby, they can energize the team at times like these.

The Clippers have played a pretty solid game against us. I'm not too concerned about how the C's have played. Its clear that they miss Pierce in the rotation, though Rondo has stepped up his offense nicely. Scal is just non-existent on that end. The sooner we can get him on the pine all game the better.

[Fafnir]

If we win this game Big Baby's offensive rebounds are a big part of it.

[Chief]

Telfair is only 24 years old.

C's should be able to comfortably beat horrible teams such as the Clippers even without Pierce.  
Especially after losing to this Clipper team last year in LA which was one of the worst regular season losses last season.

House thought he had that one big miss there.  Should be time for Ray and especially KG soon.  KG has had plenty of rest tonight and should be ready to go.

too many jump shots

Ray Allen not getting enough shots. Give him the dam ball

[jadams5214]

TA please please please stop taking the ball one on one and shooting jumpers.  Will he ever learn???

[Change]

What the hell is going on? TA taking jumpers. Use Ray, Doc
