Just sit Brown and Wanamaker at this point. Both have been major negatives out there today on both sides of the ball.

Imo, Brown has played great defense. Even on AD.

Disagree. Hes had maybe 2 or 3 good defensive possessions against davis but every other time hes literally looked lost out there. There was 1 play where he turned and started walking out of bounds on the baseline with the ball 3 feet behind him lol

Credit for the Lakers D.
Kemba would have been nice right now.

Yeah, I think he started really well, but the last two quarters have not been that great.

Hayward has really struggled in a lot of big games this season.

Someone mentioned that before and it was disproven, it’s in one of the threads in the Celtics forum

I guess it depends which opponents you're including.

6 for 21 against the Clippers
1 for 11 against Philly for 4 points (in the game we won)
1 for 10 for 7 points against the Bucks
4 for 11 for 8 points against Philly
3 for 13 against Toronto
4 for 8 against Indy for just 9 points against Indiana in our loss

Tonight just 4 for 12 in a game when we need him to step up with Kemba out.

He did have 1 strong game against Philly, Mil, Toronto, and Miami.  But you can't sit there and tell me he hasn't had his struggles against good teams.

You got in reverse. He's had about 2-3 bad defensive possessions but most times he's played really well on D.

So, as much as has been made about LA's size, I think our size, length, and quickness out on the perimeter is a bigger advantage for us than their size is for them!!

[BitterJim]

That should be a flagrant

[esel1000]

Omg Theis!

[Chief]

Nice help defense Lebron

[ETNCeltics]

we're like 2 pieces away from being a legit championship team.

We lead the West's best team in the 4th, without our 2nd best player. How is that being 2 players away?

[ozgod]

Lol what an epic dunk by Theis so unexpected

[jpotter33]

Oh my LORD! Theis!

They should be checking that for a flagrant. Howard pushed him while in the air.

[Ogaju]

Okay I take it back..... Theis can put ball on the floor from the 3 point arc.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

I love Theis!
