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

LeBum and AD going to go hard in the 2nd half we need to be ready

Anyone know what AD's minute restriction is?

No restriction imo, it's a built in fall back excuse for them. He took multiple games off for falling on his but, it's not like he sprained any ligaments or tendons or had a concussion or broke a bone or anything.

Don't get me wrong, this is an exciting game and I'm excited for when we play playoff basketball like 3 months from now. But good lord I'm not excited for this same commentary (TNT + ESPN) and having to see who the refs are before every game (especially with the likes of Tony Brothers, etc.)

Great half.  Do they have another in them? 

Brad seriously shortening the rotation.  Just Enes, Marcus and 10 minutes of Semi. 

Lebron and Davis are just gigantic humans. Add McGee and Howard - man they are big and strong.  Amazing job by Kanter so far. 

Did I mention how much I hate the Lakers?

Celtics 7 for 14 from three
Lakers 3 for 9 from three

Former Celtics
AB 3 for 4 > 6 points 2 assists
Rondo 2 for 3 > 5 points 1 assist

Turkish political malcontents? 18 freaking points and 8 rebounds...yikes!

[SparzWizard]

Pair Kanter up with another big man and this team can be very deadly inside.

Come on Ainge, do your work. It's time to move on from the small-ball and go big!

You're not wrong, but he is also quite soft. Often misses time for what seems like innocuous knocks, so I don't necessarily dismiss it that quickly.

Charles talking crap about Rondo

Charles "this isn't 2005".   Rondo wasn't even in the nba in 2005
Chuck needs to do his research.

As funny as these guys are, the truth is they are bad analysts lol. I mean, Kenny is pretty solid. But Shaq and Chuck are clearly there for the entertainment factor

Semi is on James when he's out there. He was defending Davis also.

Davis has 12 minutes. I wonder if in the second half he'll get more than 12.

Yeah, some of their analysis is truly cringeworthy.

I do enjoy a good Shaqtin though

I still remember once Shaq came on First Take and legit thought Lebron had 5 rings (when he really has 3). And basically he went with it the entire segment and so while he was making points, the whole argument was flawed

Oh I love Shaq and Chuck, but you at least got to be in the ballpark when you throw out statements ragging on someone..
