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

[PAOBoston]

JB is the worst player on the court tonight. Woooof.

[blink]

This would have been a good game to play Brissett.  We needed some energy and toughness.

not too late to have him come in for a boost

[CelticSooner]

we only have 3 FT attempts, that tells you about all you need to know.
We aren't taking it to the rim, and we are shooting about 1/2 our shots as 3.

Lakers have 11 more FT attempts and that + 3 more 3 makes
+ we have 5 more TOs

What is this team like 28th in getting to the rim? I know it’s something horrible like that.

Celtics don’t get the mentality fixed they aren’t winning the title. Just that simple.

Yeah, this is the other stuff that is baffling by Joe. Continues to insist on the two big lineup, even when they're not giving us an advantage on the boards, and the bigs are consistently getting caught being too slow out on the perimeter where they're hitting threes.

Mentally weak core with a coach that doesn’t get the most out of them and motivate them is a disaster waiting to happen come postseason. His wrong doings aside I miss the toughness Imes teams played with.

Celtics don’t get the mentality fixed they aren’t winning the title. Just that simple.

If their offense is only 3-point shooting and playing lazy defense, then no, they are NOT winning the title.

[celticsclay]

I’m literally like too angry to post right now

[jpotter33]

God, JB is atrocious tonight.

[ozgod]

So our bench has scored exactly as much as our starters excluding Tatum…pretty embarrassing for our stsrters

[Big333223]

Christian Wood is awful. No wonder no one wanted to sign him.

[SCeltic34]

Terrible game from Kristaps.  Come on, just go up with it.

[PAOBoston]

Why is JT not back in? What are they doing? JB losing this quarter.

[ozgod]

Got so lucky we got the ball back…horrific possession

Plenty to not like about tonight, but Tatum + Brown + Porzingis with ZERO free throw attempts playing all night at home against bench level wings just screams "zero effort". That should be an automatic 10-20 points on the board, every time.
