Celtics (39-16) at Lakers (42-12) Game #56 2/23/20

[SparzWizard]

If the Celtics made their free throws, they would not have been in this position.

Still blame Brad Stevens for 40% of this loss. The rest go to the terrible officiating. Reminds me of Game 7 2010

Hayward did great for most of the game, but man he missed some bunnies in the 4th 

[Sophomore]

All available buy outs...we have a championship caliber team! Would you like to help us win a title?

You said it!

Since the 2000's, I've just watched so many blatantly bad calls/officiated games in favor of the Lakers, I just call it Laker BS.

That finish was the epitome of Laker BS.  And I'm still mad about that official who called Jaylen out of bounds when he wasn't anywhere close to being out of bounds.

[Tr1boy]

good game

not the refs faults

learn from this lost

get better

*sippin*

You serious??

Brown out of bounds

Anthony Davis over the back/off pinky

KCP push on Tatum

[Phantom255x]

We lost by two. Two points that we lost from the overturned goaltend earlier

Their free throws AND their layups—Hayward missed two and Tatum missed one, that's 6 points.

Doesn't matter cause Tatum didn't get the shot off in time ... but you can't bail out play acting / bad defending like that in the final moments of a game! That is ridiculous!

The Tech on Stevens for saying "Are you kidding me".... The Langford goaltending call the refs made and then called an inadvertent whistle... Too many crap calls. The ball goes off Davis's finger but we don't get the ball. Marc Davis.... Too much crap...

Yeah, you change that mis call on the AD pinkie fingertip out of bounds and we have a good chance to win.
so close, but our team is legit. 

[satch]

Lebron said last week Astros should give world series back due to unfairness. Sooo...Lebron give this game back.

[Billz401]

Lots of positives to take away from this game but also a lot of negatives. Shouldve won this game but oh well we didnt have our 2nd best player and a few of our guys looked like they left their heads in the locker room including our coach.

On to Portland!

[Chief]

What a joke. Refs completely took over those final 3 minutes as usual... 

[CF033]

Marcus just should've pulled up for that game winning three I thought given the time left.

Tough game, Hayward's blown layup was def crucial IMO. Obviously not the only thing that caused the loss but that was rough.

Regardless good game overall. I believe that JT can be the next Durant at this point, time will tell.

Tommy H having a rant in Celtics PostGame Live, saying the ref who gave Brad a tech at a critical part of the game on a questionable call to begin with should be fired for incompetence. Said the ref should have just walked away instead of engaging with Brad. I agree!

We lost by two. Two points that we lost from the overturned goaltend earlier   

and at least one more of the terrible missed call on the Tatum push and bad tech ( which The NBA will probably reverse....) on Brad....
