Lakers (34-8) at Celtics (27-14) Game #42 1/20/20

[nickagneta]

Great energy and intensity. Great 1st quarter. Let's play better D and put together a big lead

[slamtheking]

definitely going to need 3 of Kemba, Jaylen, Jayson and Gordon to hit consistently from outside in this game to stay with the Lakers.   only way to open the paint for drives

What is it about mediocre shooting guards having big games against us?

We do not have BIGS so we try to gang rebound...this leaves guards wide open. You are welcome.

You have statistics to back you up. You are welcome.

There three types of lies... lies, dang lies, and statistics. You are very welcome.

The earth is flat too.

DeAndre Jordan is the flat earth's Bill Russell and Garrett Temple is a core player of the flat earth!

What happened to Kemba? Saw him walking back to the locker room as soon as he checked out of the game

So you mean the guards go for a rebound before a shot is taken? Sorry but that doesnt explain it.

they cheat off their assignments.... this is not that difficult people.

[Phantom255x]

I'm stunned.

1st quarter over...... and we're leading 

[mr. dee]

Jaylen really struggling with his shot but playing with a lot of energy.

This is the type of energy I want to see in Tatum when he's cold.

It's never happening lol, the Ricky Rubios of the world are busy running circles around his man defence

[Ogaju]

Tighten up that off-ball defense some.  Aside from that, I love a lot of what we did in that quarter.

Let’s keep it going.

Sorry, but you cant keep that level of intensity for 4 quarters. Get some BIGS we need them. We could have had McGee or Howard but Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Freaking Lakers are dang good.  Team always ends up with their top 5s. I hate them. Just hate them.  I don’t see C’s able to keep up  this pace, but hoping.

Agree on all points.

The Lakers don't even have to try to rebuild, just wait until big-time free agents become available.

[tstorey_97]

Celtics 41.4%...bench 16 minutes..11 points
Lakers 54.5%...bench 25 minutes ..7 points

James has 7 assists...the rest of the Lakers have 0 assists.
Kanter has 6 points in 5:14 on the court

Agreed.  It's one of the reasons why Smart and Brown are my two favorite players - they contribute in many others ways when they're having an off night.  Tatum has gotten better at this - his defense this season has been good.

TATUM!

Yeah, really annoyed we didn't have the recurring locker-room problem that is Dwight Howard

And no, we couldn't have had McGee.
