Celtics (21-7) at Lakers (11-15) Game #29 12/13/22

[#1P4P]

I’ve been getting on them about the offensive rebounding because it’s one of the keys to beating the Warriors. We had only 10 the last two games and already have 9 tonight!

Make it 10!

Crashing the boards will get you killed on the break though. The Lakers are also a different team from the Warriors.

It won’t; not on a good defensive team dedicating 1-2 players to it and 3-4 to getting back on defense.

Also, Lakers are a bigger and better rebounding team than the Warriors. I’m also not interested in reasons why they couldn’t replicate it against the Warriors. No offense 👍🏾

It will. Getting back on D with only 3-4 players will put your defense in scramble mode for the rest of the possessions coz of cross matchups.

Our team doesn’t care about cross matchups, it’s a defense built on the versatility of switching everything. While the rebounders trails, there’s usually only 3-4 players on the offensive break anyway so scramble mode isn’t a given.

Find Curry on the break and hold the fort for the extra second(s) it takes for the additional players to make it down the court when the attempt fails. For this team, the extra possessions will outweigh the any fast break points given up.

Our offense has completely fallen apart.

Dang clowns. All of them. Going through the motions thinking they can coast to a victory when coming off of two straight losses.

[Silas]

Blake needs to stop shooting 3s tonight.

[angryguy77]

Atrocious

[Goldstar88]

Need Griffin to stop shooting. He’s 3-11. Killing them.

[SparzWizard]

This team is so undisciplined

[jpotter33]

Call the dang timeout, Joe! Stop your dogma, settle us down, and get us a good look to curb this run. We're clearly out of sorts.

[G-Bones]

Let’s see how we respond

[blink]

How can Davis just run our players over trying to get a off rebound.  Really letting AD get away with whatever.

[Yuckabuck33]

No TO Joe

[Silas]

Well this sucks big time.

[SparzWizard]

Mazz, it would be nice to CALL A TIMEOUT NOW instead of pointing your finger across the court

[Kuberski33]

How many timeouts has Mazzulla called to halt this run?
Maybe not so fast on removing the 'interim' label.

Also the starters have logged a ton of minutes the past two games - many more than they should have.

Time to put the best lineup in I think
