On Thursday night the Celtics started out their three game road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Celtics come in off a blowout win on Christmas day against the Nets in which the team was firing on all cylinders. The Clippers own the league's best record at 22-6 and had a 14 game winning streak coming into the night. The Celtics looked to start off their trip ending the Clippers streak but we embarrassed in every aspect of the game getting blown out losing 106-77.
The Celtics came out with their newest line-up featuring Rondo, Terry, Pierce, Garnett and Collins. The team got off to a rough start offensively and defensively allowing numerous easy transition buckets. The Celtics also committed 9 turnovers in just the first half adding to their struggle offensively looking really out of rhythm.

In the Celtics early start on Christmas Day, CSN viewers were surrounded with holiday spirit, including anecdotal stories of KG buying Scal a Louis Vuitton suitcase, and Keyon Dooling dishing out holiday cheer like it he was playing point guard again.

BOSTON — Paul Pierce gave Jason Collins his game ball, everybody clapped and that was pretty much that. A few days later, Pierce’s token of recognition for the veteran center’s hard work was all but forgotten for many members of the Celtics, who were much more impressed with the 40-point performance that earned Pierce the game ball in the first place.
But for Collins, the gesture...

It appears the narrative about Jeff Green is changing from "When will he take over?" to "Here's why he isn't going to take over."
NBA analyst Ric Bucher put up a post recently saying Green "has everything that Paul Pierce has" except Green is a little weaker, which he makes up for in speed. Bucher wondered, like everyone else with eyes, why...

The Celtics (14-15) failed to get the win against the Warriors (21-10) without Rajon Rondo, and looked pretty bad in the process.
Rondo sat out with a hip and thigh injury and the Celtics needed everyone else to pick up the slack, which they didn't.
Paul Pierce, Jason Terry and Jeff Green shot 12-50 and the team as a whole shot 36 percent. While Golden State couldn't miss...
