They played a team last night that's had their backs against the wall . Deck was stacked.
Celtics match up a little better , they don t have a Godzilla sized Lopez to stop .....so our young players can run with the Clippers .
Depends on who WANTS the win the most I suppose.
More of a battle of coaches.......
Here is a game where Rondo would give us the edge for sure.
They played a team last night that's had their backs against the wall . Deck was stacked.
Am I the only one that finds it hard to give us ANY chance of winning this game? Exhausted coming off that emotional game last night facing the high flying well rested Clippers?
I'm just hoping it isn't a blowout >:(
That standing ovation brought a tear to Doc's eye. Cool moment.
Comcast should have done a much better job covering Doc's pre game ovation moment, should have covered it live. Hope they do better when Kev and Paul come back in January.
It'll be interesting to see how the celtics handle the elite bigs of the nba. Lopez last night. Blake griffin tonight.
Somebody say DeandreIt'll be interesting to see how the celtics handle the elite bigs of the nba. Lopez last night. Blake griffin tonight.
Blake shouldn't be too big a problem for Bass. Doing a good job on him thus far. We struggle against athletic 7 footers.

He doesn't have the offensive arsenal that Lopez has. He's the fourth or fifth option for the clips.
Great recovery and block by C-Lee to create the turnover and transition hoop.

The ball movement has been great so far. This team is real fun to watch

Deandre is still only good for 3 exciting dunks per game. Outside of that, he doesn't offer much on offense. His defense is also not that great....

Didn't Doc promote him this offseason as a "big three caliber player"? That seems silly now.
Unless things change quite a bit in the second half I'm not overly impressed by the Clips. Doc's got his work cut out for him if he's expected to contend for a title this year.

I do think they'll be tougher with Barnes back, plus Reddick and Bullock (if he's developing well at least defensively).
But they need to start replace Dudley with someone better, maybe Barnes can do it. They also need Brandon Bass to come off their bench....heh heh he's ours.
i wonder how our standing would be if doc genius is still at the helm? my guess is wayyy below .500, pressey and olynyk in the d-league, bogans a starter, courtney lee still in the dog house and bass/bradley would be injured by now playing 46-47 minutes a night.lolSounds about right.

You might be right, but if you're counting on your role players to supply that you're not in great shape.
Jeff Green with 15 shot attempts before half time? I can't see the game. What kind of shots is he getting/taking?
Chris Paul is such a whiner, one of those players who knows how to work refs. Plus he always ends up taking offense to guys who play tough defense on him, wouldn't be surprised if he gets into a little scuffle with bradley or lee. I can't stand the guy. Fake toughness for sure. I'll always remember what he did to Hodge in the NCAA.
Look at Steven's guys going toe to toe against Doc's without Rondo or KO.

And dueling him in a game of small ball.
DESTROY DOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DESTROY DOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TP!!!!!!
Flop you too!
This is brutal. Offense has gone to Dante's inferno. I enjoyed Pressey earlier in the year, but he's been rather ineffective the last 2 weeks or so.
C: B.Bass
PF: J.Green
SF: M.Brooks
SG: A.Bradley
PG: Jordan Crawford
This lineup is sooo small ...
lol TP!C: B.Bass

Doc would disagree.
NOT SMALL ENOUGH.
What on Earth is Brooks doing...
What on Earth is Brooks doing...
Showing Celtic nation why he has been buried on the bench all season.
and once more the celtics poor offense haunts them late in the game.
it is so bad stevens is using brooks, who is not impressing anyone tonight so far.
Ugh, those were daggers by Jamal Crawford.Yeah first one was crazy deep to make a close out hard, last one just not getting back fast enough.
Ugh, those were daggers by Jamal Crawford.
Jordan Crawford is simply a dumb defender.
i know stevens wanted to show confidence in brooks and give him a chance...bad coaching...cost them the gameHuh? The C's only lost a point when he was in the game. Not a good stint but it didn't cost the C's the game.

Jordan Crawford is simply a dumb defender.
I agree.
He's an offensive combo/pg type. You don't expect Mo Williams or Jamal Crawford to play good D either. Just have to understand what sort of player he is.Jordan Crawford is simply a dumb defender.
I agree.
Which is one of many reasons he isn't a guy you pay to stick around long term. Hope he's dealt by the deadline. Danny, I'm sure, will find some sucker to take him.

Yeah... that was certainly not the reason why he put Brooks in the floor.
i know stevens wanted to show confidence in brooks and give him a chance...bad coaching...cost them the gameHuh?? Bad coaching wasn't a problem..foul trouble, injuries, and poor bench production was the problem....yet they still had a chance to win.
There is no way on Earth you can come out of this game thinking Doc is the better coach....noooo way.really showed how overrated he really is tonight. glad we have brad.
Trying to match up with the Clippers small line up I guess with another guard.i know stevens wanted to show confidence in brooks and give him a chance...bad coaching...cost them the game

curious time to throw him into the fire

Congrats on the win Doc, you're team was much more composed down the stretch.our guys were just to tired. the starters played too long to cover for the anemic bench.

Is this the most shot attempts Jeff Green has had as a Celtic? Can someone elaborate on what kind of shot attempts he was getting?

Wow. Look at Doc crying and stuff in his after game talk...what a phony. Clippers player. Clippers coach. Celtics quitter. Get lost Clipper.haha totally agree with you. glad it's just a one game affair, get out of town doc you ain't fooling nobody!
okay.lol at bad coaching, look at the lineups then switch the coaches, stevens will win by 30 no doubt.i know stevens wanted to show confidence in brooks and give him a chance...bad coaching...cost them the gameHuh??

Congrats...most ridiculous thing ever posted on this board. Stevens now a 22ppg better coach than Doc? Fair enough you don't like the guy, your constant undermining of his achievements makes that obvious. But this is just lashing out in bitterness at a loss after proved victorious on the day. Get over it...and yourself.

He got to the rim and took in rhythm jumpers for most of the game. He was taking his usual shots just more of them than usual.

maybe. but lee had fouled out and pressey just wasnt getting it done tonight. not many choices left.
sometimes you roll the dice. this is a year to see who can do what. winning is good, but player development is most important.
obviously brooks is not developing. lesson learned.

poor in the sense that he mentally does not play good basketball. he can score and shoot, no doubt. stevens' team was trailing, give brooks a chance. i dont mind that. but the poor play is on brooks.
but do not fret too much. i am sure china or europe have teams that will pay him lots of money to play.

Who else could he put in ...Wallace (let him throw it into the 3rd row) or Pressey who's going to run it into a sea of players? He gave him a chance and Marshon didn't take advantage of it...at least this should get people to see why he's leading the cheer squad instead of suiting up.

Am I crazy to think had we had a legit center and rondo back we get by the Nets and Clippers? Loving the grit and fight of this team
The loss was pretty easy to figure out.....Faverani is becoming useless. he's slowly fading into the background, meanwhile Hump was out so cross out two big guys. on top of that Sully is in foul trouble all game. Lee fouls out which forces Stevens to rely on Brooks who turns the ball over four times. with all of that going on we are still playing the Clippers and actually beating them.
This game was a few good plays away from being a win.
As the season progresses you can just feel the need for Rondo. the defense will improve considerably when Rondo is directing the offense and our shooters don't have to set up shots for themselves. Rondo doesn't even have to be 100% to make this team better. his presence alone and passing skills will help considerably.

Serious question - How much better would a Rondo coming off an ACL injury play than Crawford right now?
