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

[celticinorlando]

Lakers have two guys playing that are buried on the bench and the Celtics can’t even guard them

[Surferdad]

Comical.

Criminal

[RMO]

JT been sleepwalking but I love him diving for the ball on the floor there

Unfortunately it was followed by a dumb shot

[Indocelts]

Joe needs to tell Tatum that it's PP and Hauser who keep us in the game. Give them the ball.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics with a chance to get it to 4 and Tatum takes a predictable step back 3

Lakers then get up by 10.

This might be the worst loss to the lakers I have seen.

[satch]

As far as an NBA championship is concerned-This may be a good dose of reality.

Everyone knew JT was gonna go for the heat check there. Why can’t we be unpredictable with our offense sometimes.

6 point game, chance to cut into the lead, and Tatum dances around the top of the arc and takes a horrible shot. He’s trying to heat check when he literally just hit one 3. How about you don’t be a dumbass and drive it on that possession?

[keevsnick]

I don't know what the record is for when your opponent's shoots >50% from three on more than 40 attempts (which lakers are on pace to do), but my guess is it's not very good.

[SCeltic34]

Too many missed open 3's.

[Phantom255x]

Porzingis should be feasting tonight but he's getting outworked and also is a passenger on a handful of possessions.  THEY DON'T HAVE ANTHONY DAVIS GUYS

[angryguy77]

Chuck might be right.....

[jpotter33]

I think one of our last eight shots has been inside of the three point line... Despicable.

EDIT: one of last nine now.

[PAOBoston]

Stick a fork in them. That was their run.

[celticinorlando]

Back up to where it was at the half.

Getting nothing from the top 6

Can’t defend

[Big333223]

Russell keeps thinking PP can't guard him and he keeps being proven wrong.
