Celtics went from 20-0 at home to losing two in a row in a pair of potential Finals previews. Clippers win 115-96 in what was a massive blowout before garbage time. Clippers defense just stifled every single facet of the Celtics offense.

Do we actually suck? /s
Sure; after getting the ass handed to them in LA, the clippers wanted it more.
The way this is framed makes it sound so fucking badš , but srsly doomers letās relax until we have a consistent indication that we should worry pls and thx
Weiss framed this horribly considering the defense didnāt lead to us bricking every open look early leading to their big lead
But it was a back-to-back! Oh wait, for the Clippers.
Looks like they had a good time in Miami
The āclippers defenseā is ranked like 12th in efficiency. They arenāt some elite defense. It was an anomaly
Alarmism get this the fuck out of here. Itās a 2 game HOME losing streak not even a 2 game pure losing streak.
The fact people are making this sound so dire shows how much of a stretch the media need to get drama clicks, and how much the league is praying on our downfall bc of how dominant weāve been this year.
Stifled? I just watched the Celtics brick 3 after 3. If we were feeling good and still lost then sure. But we werenāt. Just couldnāt buy a bucket and gave up
People in NBA and NHL subs love to forget that the seasons are long, some would argue overly long, and any particular singular game (especially against a non-divisional, non-conference opponent) has a very high chance of being completely unimportant and indicative of absolutely nothing whatsoever. On to the next one.
Did he watch the game?!? We bricked a ton of open looks in the first half, and then it got out of hand.Ā
Obviously not great, and Iād love to see us adjust faster on nights the deep ball isnāt falling, but calling it stifling defense by the clippers is absurdĀ

Celtics went from 20-0 to 20-2. Sounds like it was written by someone expecting them to go 41-0.
We’re not bricking this many shots in 4/7 games come the playoffs. We’re still handling any team in the league in seven games.
However, the sky is not falling.
Remember ANY 3 the Celtics take is a good look. Whether its a pull up 3 on a 3 on 1 fast break or a step back with a hand in our face. We will continue to live and die by the 3 regardless of what the defense gives us. Not sure how that will work shooting 30% but hey in Mazzulla we trust
Fuck yeah. Go Cs. Glad it isn’t May!
