Lakers (5-5) at Celtics (9-2) Game #12 11/8/17

[Ogaju]

this is  a tough game

[azzenfrost]

Not fun to watch. I'm just hoping they pull out a win.

I think Horford may be more valuable to this team than Kyrie.

Agreed. "Average Al" may finally start getting the praise he deserves...

[CelticSooner]

I think Horford may be more valuable to this team than Kyrie.

He's the anchor of the whole team like KG was.

[SCeltic34]

I think Horford may be more valuable to this team than Kyrie.

I agree.  Horford does it all.  Box scores don't adequately measure his impact.

No one should ever criticize smart when we had jelly olynyk on the team

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

lets make smart choices rest of game team

work the offense every time down

[Eja117]

People still want to complain about Smart when he makes those types of winning plays? He's had a terrible night tonight, but you can still ALWAYS count on him in crunch time.

Perhaps if he didn't go 1 for 8 he wouldn't need to be quite so good in crunch time. It's the Lakers. We're not really supposed to exactly be in crunch time at home.

They're fighting us with two rookies and they're also playing yet another one (Hart).  Jordan Clarkson has absolutely had his way with us tonight.

He has evolved into....

"ABOVE AVERAGE AL!"

smart and larkin and rozier playing hard. but no one can shoot worth a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. tonight.

still, celtics are going to win this game!!!!!!!

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

bench is being severely tested. this is good for them. we will need them in the playoffs to step up when others are off or flat or in tonites case..............OUT!

[CelticSooner]

C's had it worst stretch of the season without Horford last year going 4-5.

[Eja117]

Smart shifting into that extra gear.

Where was that gear the whole rest of the game up till now? It was nowhere. He's very selective with his hustle.

[tstorey_97]

Bench going gritty on LA's...who wants it more?
