The starters came out flat as well as cold from outside when the game started, and the team never recovered. Although the players have the ability to score and make plays on their own in spurts, this was where you wish there was a bit more creativity or purpose in the offensive sets.
WHAT I LIKED
Lin's aggression
Lin, along with the rest of the starters came out cold and out of sorts. When the starters came back in, it was minus Lin, as Ellington remained in the game. Rather than get discouraged, he turned it up a notch, driving to the basket at will and finishing. He even showed a bit of attitude as a Celtic player tried to take the ball away from him on a deadball. Very nice to see.
Unfortunately, the coach decided to troll fans around the world by benching him for Price.
Easy E
Ever since the regular season started, Ellington's shot has been on. Today he hit a 3 off a floppy play which was set further out than he usually runs it, which was good to see, rather than the usual long 2. However, on the season he's shooting 39% from 3, and 57% on long 2s, so basically you're fine with him launching from anywhere on the court. Given what he's had to deal with off the court, you can't help but root for the guy.
If they decide to start him, I hope it's at Wes' expense and not Lin's. Or else you can forget about seeing any transition buckets with the first unit.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
Lazy bigs on D
I agree 100% with DB here. Watch the bigs closely in transition or in scramble situations and you see them unilaterally decide to switch or "protect the paint". God forbid they run to their rotation if it's more than 10 feet away. Kobe does it as well from time to time, but when the bigs do it, it always seems to lead to the other team scoring.
Bad Wes returns
I can live with Wes being off with his shot. I can't live with him taking more than one dribble. Whenever that happens, something bad is bound to occur.
