CELTICS' STAPLES...CLIPPED

Cs road trip continues, Clippers tonight.
AB is back! Horford's elbow's not right.
Jerebko is ill. Who starts? Usual Suspects, Four--
Brad's deciding on the 5th just minutes before!

Pierce's last game against the Cs, will he play?
Says it'll be just a game, not like that Boston Sunday ☘🏈
Start: Fearless Brown, Crowder, Amir, AB, IT.
First play AB furious, no help on Redick's three.

IT FOR THREE! Two way-too-quick fouls, IT.
IT, D! Amir, hustle! Special tribute to The Truth, PP!
Fearless Brown, from Redick, DJ, two shots took he.
Long, long review: nothin' there. IT FOR THREE!

Amir, steal! Amir, D! CP3 shooting over every C.
IT FOR THREE! Cs rebounding! SMART FOR THREE!
Cs communicating, ball movement; Amir, block, D, too!
On 43% shooting (vs 50), Cs up 3 start Q2!

Young, in. Olynyk, hustle (at last)!  Smart...smart!
He is 23 today! Count on Rozier always doing his part!
Felton--stayed in the game--his head hit the floor.
AB, D! Rozier, explosive, rebounds like he's 7'4 ;)

Olynyk, rebounding! ROZIER FOR THREE!
DJ shoving Crowder, calls on Crowder we see.
Cs ball movement (pattern 😉)! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Hack-a-DJ. Olynyk, rebounding! Coast-to-coast, IT!

On 36% shooting, good D, Cs up 3 start Q3!
Amir! AB! Why--for a foul, DJ manhandled AB!
More hack-a-DJ. Hard to the hoop, loud dunk, AB!
IT FOR THREE! Fearless Brown, Amir (more) D!

Crowd's yellin' "MVP!" ...for IT!
Olynyk, score! Aggressive, every C!
Griffin flopped, Brad's mad! Crawford. Clips lead.
Cs slowed way down, sloppy, not what we need.

Not pretty. Clips 22-5 run. Cs within 4 start Q4.
Young, Smart, steal! YOUNG FOR THREE! His 1st score.
Awful calls on Olynyk. Ugh, Crawford. Where's our D??
Bold Brad, ATO: FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!

Scalabrine: when you're small,
You have to move the ball.
T on IT. CP3 hurting? Hack-a-DJ. IT FOR THREE!
Griffin goes nuts every foul--just give him a T!

AB gets thrown, no foul. That's not our problem, tho--
We stopped moving the ball, where did our offense go?
IT, steal! Fearless Brown, so athletic! What a shot!
Make a case for the Rookie of the Year we've got!

Crowd's calling for PP, but I'd rather not see
Any more shots against us after his Gahden Three.
Fearless Brown, steal! Crawford alone really won.
Cs within 14 when this game was done ;(
