Lakers (14-6) at Celtics (10-7) Game #18 1/30/21

[Atzar]

Dumb play, Kemba.  Better to let the Lakers take it side out than just give Lebron an uncontested three.

Trade kemba for a draft capital and depth pieces. We are much better off being a lottery team than watching Kemba's game and value deteriorate with each passing game.

We would have been better getting rid of Kemba and keeping Hayward.

Whoa! Take a step back from the ledge man! He’s not Jeff Teague!

He's obviously not bad, but what's his meaning to this team? He's not good enough to get us over the hump and he's not valuable enough to net us a big star. Get what you can while he's still valuable imo. He's obviously not worth his contract

[slamtheking]

have we set the league record for "saving balls under our own basket by throwing it to the other team" yet?

[esel1000]

If we lose by 4 or less...

Yeah exactly.

This team is terrible at closing out games and making the correct plays in crunch time so brace for it

[RPGenerate]

Is it just me, or was that so obviously off of the Lakers? Why did Kemba go for that? C'mon man!!!

[NKY fan]

When Kemba went for that hopeless hustle save I knew the lakers will score . Now Kemba , Timelord and Theis account for 9 lakers points. It’s hard to compete when you do that ourselves

[LilRip]

Whats the point of saving the ball??

I don’t know. Scratching my head with that one

[PAOBoston]

Why do players try to save the ball in those situations? Just let it go out. It’s better that randomly throwing the ball to an unknown location.

[liam]

Can we stop tapping all these Lakers balls.

[Alec14]

When PP comes back he might be our best point guard

[Ogaju]

that basket that Theis scored for the Lakers is it a two or a three??

[knuckleballer]

Lebron has a very punchable face

You’d probably just hurt your hand.

[JBJT619]

Tough to play against your own [dang] team. Kemba handing it to AD and Theis tipping in for the bad guys. Wild. Our asses would be running in college for that stuff. Unbelievable that NBA players are making these plays.

[liam]

that basket that Theis scored for the Lakers is it a two or a three??

Should've been a two.

Yep. Isn't there an old basketball rule that you never save it underneath your own (defensive) basket due to that very reason and setting up a 4 on 5 like that?
