Celtics (13-25) at Clippers (27-14) Game #39 1/19/15

[Chief]

I think it's time to trade Sullinger, Zeller, Turner.  Or have them come from the bench

It's like every game we have to comeback from behind.   KO, Bass,Thornton, Smart have to do the dirty work to try to get this team back within 10.  Just start them so you don't get into a deep hole in the 1st place

Have you read page 7 of the tanking handbook or not? Lol

Oh okay, I thought I was going crazy... Scal said we lost because of their starters coming in and im like heck no... you guys agree we lost as soon as turner came in. i was p---ed b4 he stepped onto the court.


just screwed us. totally screwed. ty stevens.

[mgent]

he is a walking turnover - his pull up jumpers hardly make up for all the lost possessions he causes around the 3p-line. Those nearly always lead to easy buckets.

Yup, not to mention those pull up jumpers are complete offense killers.

You have Zeller listed in both places.  If I was coach my starting 5 would be 1- Smart 2- Thornton 3- Turner 4- Sully 5- Ko  with Zeller, AB, Crowder, and Bass off the bench

Scal also said Bass was the best 1 on 1 player in the NBA.

[soulman]

Turner is soft.

i just hope he will be traded until the trade deadline...

Stevens is a bad in game manager. Hopefully he gets better since we're stuck with him for another 4 years.

It's because the Celtics are one of the worst teams in the league.  There's no difference in talent level between our bench and starters while on most teams there's a drop off - in the case of the Clips a big drop off.  So these runs we make against 2nd units aren't totally surprising.  Talent wise things are a little more even once it's bench vs bench.

LOL I did laugh at that but I think he is okay otherwise, hope he gets tommy's job when he retires.

That would take a miracle.

[kozlodoev]

After watching Turner for a bit, I'm at a loss how he averaged 17 ppg. for half a season not that long ago. He can't control the ball on the dribble drive, is not particularly deceptive or particularly athletic, and his shot is spotty at best.

Seven whole pages?  I had no clue tankers had thought their strategy through that much (or even for 10 seconds).

[TheFlex]

cannot understand Stevens substitution

Why bring in Turner??  It's like he is instructed to tank or something

Sullinger comesback and the lead widens.

Good job Stevens

Lol, you're right, it's because Sullinger came back in and not because Blake Griffin and CP3 came back in.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

Got dang it stevens son of a gun!!! A loss for us doesn't make or break our lotto/playoff position... clips losing as a WC team is bigger for them. WHY DID U DO IT???


Tayshun didn't score but our defense (offense without him shooting) was clicking, yanked him for turner and boom...


SON OF A... man, this isn't the first time either!!!!!

[SHAQATTACK]

Ha ha ...looks like I missed a classic game
