Kevin McHale got caught on a hot mic during the Celtics game
Under Brad Stevens, the Celtics are 27-15 (64.3%) ATS when playing on at least a three-game ATS losing streak, profiting bettors 10.8 units.
One game after the Lakers rallied from 18 points down to win in Boston - and six days after the Patriots beat the Rams in the Super Bowl - the retooled Clippers erased a 28-point deficit on Saturday night to beat the Celtics 123-112. It was the biggest comeback by a team in the National Basketball Association the past two seasons, the largest in Clippers history and Boston's biggest blown lead since December 5, 2003, coming two nights after the Celtics spit the bit on an 18-point lead in a 129-128 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.
Embiid finished the game with 23 points and 14 rebounds but was called for five fouls on the night.
The Celtics are still in decent shape at 35-21 on the season, but they look far from the team many expected to show up during the 2018-19 season.
Also, the Celtics have now surrendered second-half leads in each of their last two games at home to borderline playoff teams in the Western Conference in the Clippers and Lakers.
Celtics' fans are breathing a collective sigh of relief over this injury news, as the last thing the demoralized squad needed was to be without their superstar point guard.
Backlash against Modi offering citizenship to settlers who fled to India
Slogans like "Modi Go Back, ' "Scrap Citizenship Bill, ' 'Joi Aai Asom" and 'BJP hai hai" were hurled at the Prime Minister. Members of state employee associations, social organisations and student organisations will also join the fast, it said.
The Celtics next take the court Tuesday at Philadelphia. We didn't get too high or too low.
"Like I said, that's on me".
But Morris was not in the mood to make excuses and complained that it was not fun being on the team at the moment. Even though we're winning, it's still not fun. The force everybody played with and we just let it go. "We have to genuinely want to win, that has to be the first goal, whatever that change is, I'm with it".
"I should've kicked it out or took it out and shot it", Embiid admitted. If you want to take me out the lineup and get some juice in it, I'm with it. That's a win, I guess.
Garrett Temple, Ivica Zubac, JaMychal Green and Landry Shamet all made their debuts for the Clippers after being acquired by Los Angeles at the trade deadline.
Clearly, the Celtics have some issues that they need to iron out before they can reach their full potential as title contenders. We're going to have to play with the same kind of goal.
