Lakers (27-27) at Celtics (35-19) Game #55 2/7/19

[SCeltic34]

Oh well.  We'll beat them in LA. 

They might make more free throws next time, but they won't make nearly as many 3's.

No they won't. They're getting swept by LA lol. They couldn't even put them away at the Garden with an 18 point lead what makes you think they'll beat them at Staples Center ugh. Plus the Celtics aren't even a good road team.

We're going to play better post All Star Break as we always do.  The Lakers had a fluke game today.  It's basketball.  Large leads evaporate all the time in the NBA, everyone who watches basketball knows that.

We will win in LA.

Brad just said the team stopped guarding and started playing passive after the 3rd half and that’s where they lost the game letting the Lakers score 42 pts in the 3rd. Said if you don’t do the right things the basketball gods will punish you which they did in the last 3 min

This team has sucked in the third quarter all season. It never changes.

SO WHY CAN WE NOT PLAY FOR 48??

The million dollar question...

[jpotter33]

Our defense has sucked the last few games. We miss Baynes. We have to toughen the blank up or else we have no shot.

This really is something that has been very present in Baynes' absence.

I'm tired of hearing that they are going to play better after Christmas...after the All Star Break...when the playoff get going.

This team is flawed.

[droopdog7]

And why not run the clock down on the last play??

NO Idea! Why not foul on the last play?

No idea? We were losing.  You shoot eith time to allow for a rebound or to foul if you miss.

[PhoSita]

The Lakers shot 22-41 from deep and won a last second Rondo jumper.

What're ya gonna do about that?

Just shake your head and move on.

It's almost as if we were missing an integral part of our rotation

[celticinorlando]

Lakers will go to Philly Sunday and get blown out. Just watch.

Boston had them down and just do what they do...become passive and just play out the clock.

Just shake your head and move on.

Yeah, I mean, our guys just stopped defending for a long stretch of the game and let them back in.

Anyway, hats off to Rondo, glad to see he's still got the fire in him.

We have played better after Christmas.  Much better.  Yeah we're flawed.  But we haven't reached our potential as a team either.

It's always something...always some excuse other than they aren't as good as we all thought they would be.

I can’t wait until people say this when the Bucks make it rain 3s every game in the playoffs.

Finally. Some logic.

Does it suck to lose? Absolutely. But i'm not ramming my head into a wall over this or wishing for opposing players to get hurt.

[Walker Wiggle]

LA got a lot of lucky bounces down the stretch, any of which could have swung the game the other way. They also shot 53% from 3 tonight and set a franchise record for makes. They were just on fire in the 2nd half.

[CF033]

Triple whammy of a loss lol.

1. We lost to the Lakers at home
2. We lost to Lebron James
3. We lost to a last second shot from Rondo

Blech
