Every Boston fan knows the history of the 2008 Celtics championship run, but let's recap it anyway. Star Paul Pierce suffered a stress reaction in his left foot causing the small forward to miss seven weeks of the season. With Pierce sidelined, the Celtics won just three of their next 42 games, including a franchise-record 18-game losing streak. Instead of making a selection with the fifth overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft, then-general manager Danny Ainge sent the pick along with Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak to the Seattle SuperSonics for Ray Allen.
The Clippers had a chance to take control of their series with the Mavericks in Wednesday night's Game 5 in Los Angeles, but instead they stunk up the joint in the second half and got blown out, 123-93, to fall behind 3-2 as the series shifts to Dallas for Friday night's Game 6. The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard in Game 5, as he continues to deal with an injury to his right knee. Los Angeles had won the other two games in the series that Leonard had missed, which makes Wednesday night's performance even harder for fans to understand. × This page requires Javascript.
