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

Utter garbage

[Indocelts]

Joe needs to play PP, he sticks to Reaves like glue, though he made some spectacular shots.

Lakers won’t be in the playoffs so this is their playoffs.

Playing the Celtics is everyones playoffs. That's what happens when you have the best record.

[keevsnick]

Nobody out there besides maybe Hauser is playing with any sort of rythm. Every pass is a little off, every rotation a step slow.

They wouldn’t allow this to happen. This effort is deplorable.

Worst loss of the season and it’s not even close. Celtics haven’t been in this game at any point.

Lakers will get blown out in New York Saturday. Won’t be able make anything from 3

Honestly, at this point we're just replaying last season all over again. Perhaps a month later, but we're looking like the exact same kind of ho-hum team that stopped looking dominant as soon as the threes stopped falling at a high pace.

Why the hell did you go out and get KP? All this pick and pop crap was crap. I knew Joe was full of crap.

[liam]

Joe still doesn't go deep into the bench...

[Silas]

LA with 3 more 3s made equals 9pts...that's the game so far.

If I'm playing the Celtics in the playoffs, I'm not even letting my star players suite up for the games. This team is notorious for playing down to their competition, and then losing. I was hoping this tendency went away this season.

[jambr380]

They’re playing like losers. Chance to bring it to 5 or 6 at the end of the 3rd, instead they miss and give up a fast break lay-up. Get it to 6 in the 4th, give up a layup on a made basket. Inexcusable.

With how hot LAL has been tonight, you can’t be giving up free points. Lazy, wussy, frustrating for the supposed best team in the league

Made.3's are less of a problem than the turnovers

[blink]

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

[Silas]

Crazy Cs have only 3 foul shots.

[SCeltic34]

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

[celticinorlando]

Celtics energy level all game has been that of a preseason game
