Lakers (24-25) at Celtics (37-11) Game #49 2/1/24

[celticinorlando]

No accountability on this team

Blown out at home but a skeleton squad

Standing around at watching on defense

At this point stop shooting threes. They aren’t falling

[ozgod]

At least we keep hanging around within striking distance…just need a couple of stops and one run

This is the 2nd time in a week the C's are getting wiped off the floor at home by an LA team
 
People who attended these games need to be refunded

They have been beat down quite a few times recently (Bucks/Clips/etc). Showing some bad signs.

Not gonna come back from trading baskets.

This is where I do miss Ime and Brad emphasizing defense. There are stretches where they get smoked and offer no resistance.

That, and there's just no alternative gameplan. It's just play the percentages and hope you'll eventually make the threes at some point.

That's what you get when you hire a clearly unqualified coach to lead a contender.

[Indocelts]

The Cs must be loving Reaves so much to let him get a career night.

[CelticSooner]

How you going to win a playoff game when you are cold from three?

[SCeltic34]

Hauser is the only reason we're in this.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics showing signs of some serious issues.

Poor defense

Getting killed lately on the boards

Turnovers back

[Goldstar88]

10pt game now…

[jambr380]

Barkley not wrong about the Celtics toughness. It was a given for years with Smart, but we just don’t have that anymore. And he’s right that it starts with Tatum and Brown

[ozgod]

At $2m Hauser is one of the top 10 contracts in the NBA. Prove me wrong

The problem tonight is not the gameplan.

Trading baskets

Refuse to get stops

[Phantom255x]

The C's can still win this with some stops. Sounds obvious but they've been able to score, the problem is Reaves and the Lakers can't miss and the C's aren't really playing stout defense either. A few stops, quick run and they'll be back.

They're still hanging around but again, need stops ASAP

[ozgod]

PP bailed out Tatum on that possession
