THINGS I’M LOOKING FOR

1. How Tatum looks: He was very clearly not himself by the end of the Warriors game. He’s had a couple of days off but sprained ankles can be a little wonky so I’m just curious to see if he has the same burst. 

2. Playing fast: This is why I’m concerned about how Tatum’s ankle looks. Because the Celtics can run away with this game if they play at a fast pace. Take the Orlando Magic game plan when they were short handed and apply that to this game. The Clippers play slow, so get them out of their comfort zone. 

3. Defensive test: The Clippers have the league’s best offense over the past 10 games. Things have clicked and they are putting up a lot of points. The Celtics are right there with them scoring-wise, but they're going to have to really improve on the perimeter to slow them down. 

Follow along with my thoughts as the game goes on. They’ll show up below and in the comments section, so hop in and share your opinion as well.
