LeBum going hard for the record

Well, that's all he's got for the rest of this year. There's no title hope at all, and they have little chance of realistically making the playoffs.

Also, he's trying to take pressure off of himself after declaring he'd never miss the playoffs again after last year haha

Turnovers cost them the title last year. Still haven’t fixed it

You can't tell by the posts here but we are up 2.

Honestly, at times I find Brown really frustrating to watch.

You'd think after his embarrassing choke the other night and poor overall last month, he'd be less careless with the ball, but nope.

We really, really miss Smart with the ball-handling and taking care of the ball.

What? Aren't the Lakers currently the 8 seed? Yeah there's the play-in tournament but I think LAL makes it

Getting frustrated with Rob’s availability this year, particularly tonight when it would’ve been helpful against AD. Where’d this ankle sprain come from? Don’t remember anything from the last game.

"would’ve been helpful against AD"

I would say Rob would be necessary for Celts to win this game.

TP!  That is what I was going to say too.

And…
Lakers 3 TOs and Celtics 2

Even if the Lakers make the playoffs they are a first round exit

HOLD UP MY BAD. 

I just checked. Wow the Lakers are actually the 13 seed lol. There's a whole crowd of teams between seeds 6-13 in the West, but I was sure last I checked LAL was 8 or 9

They're 13th in the West lol

They're not far behind from making the play-in games, but I just don't trust their roster enough. Very poorly constructed and significant health concerns.

Nice words about Paul Silas.  Miss him.

JB taken some terrible shots

[Phantom255x]

Tatum might just have to carry us in the 2nd half to win this.

I don't trust Brown and the others to get it done

JB taken some terrible shots

The hot start in the first half made it worse, I think. He's like 33% from three for the season now, yet he still hoists up a ton of bad, contested jumpers every game.

Joe needs to reign that in.
