Kawhi: “Played 2 games to start. Went out. Played 3. Got hurt again, went out. And I’m able to build… 4 games… It’s only my 9th game of the season. That’s after going through a whole ACL year. So, can’t rush it. Just got to keep moving.” – 2:14 AM

Celtics finally made it all the way to the west coast and forgot how to build their sandcastle. Second straight loss as the Clippers knocked them down 113-93. Kawhi Leonard has maybe his best game of the season while Jayson Tatum once again looked uncomfortable all night. – 12:59 AM

#Clippers sending their deep bench into the game before the #Celtics is strange, indeed. Tatum up to 36 minutes ahead of a back-to-back. Looks like Kornet, Vonleh, Hauser, etc. are coming in with 3:16 to go. – 12:53 AM

My guess is that never going back to Blake Griffin was very intentional. Celtics will need him to give them 20-30 minutes or so tomorrow night.
The good news? You can play drop coverage a lot more effectively against the Lakers than the Warriors or Clippers. – 12:52 AM

Bad stretches happen. Even the 72-10 Bulls had two tough losses in a row on the road. It’s far from panic time for the Celtics.
But the last two games have been messy and some bad reminders of last season have creeped back in.
Gotta get the next one and finish 4-2 on the trip. – 12:50 AM

#Celtics will never be a post-up team, but it wouldn’t hurt to get Grant looks around the rim more often especially against teams like the #Clippers, #Warriors who move toward wing-based lineups.
He made it look relatively easy to score through Kawhi there and is great inside – 12:17 AM

Tough result after a great initial defensive effort from Grant on George there. #Clippers are really spreading the #Celtics out, forcing them to switch and getting to the basket as they start 11/19 FG. – 11:06 PM

After playing arguably his best game this season Saturday, Marcus Morris Sr. called it a product of Kawhi and PG’s return, which in turn allowed him to not have to do as much. His offseason was spent focusing on being as efficient as possible as a scorer. He felt it pay off Sat. – 11:03 PM

Little rotation wrinkle from Mazzulla:
Tatum out early, as per usual. But instead of bringing in Grant with Brogdon, Mazzulla is running a three-guard lineup with Smart and White staying in.
Could be a sign this is a two-big night with Grant backing up Griffin. – 10:57 PM
