Celtics (31-13) at Lakers (23-18) Game #45 1/23/25

[blink]

can we start over?  only 1 team knew the game was starting

I'm sorry - this is just inexcusable. Completely avoidable defensive miscommunication by White and Jrue there. There is absolutely no reason that this team that is the exact same personnel as last year should be this awful defensively.

Tatum with a ferocious 3 points so far 

[jpotter33]

This is such a frustrating team. You come out half-arsed and not playing hard or smart defensively and let a team get going, and now you're having trouble containing them after gaining momentum.

Coming off an overtime game last night.

And whose fault was it that we went to OT when up by multiple possessions with just seconds to go against a team without their top four scorers and almost entire starting five? You reap what you sow.

I don't care put Springer in this game ASAP

[bello_man09]

brown had a wide open KP....refused to pass

[jpotter33]

Finally, JT. Force it to the hole and stop jacking up bad jumpers.

So tough to listen to Reggie Miller gushing over the Lakers.

[jpotter33]

Love that we play with double bigs, yet we still can't secure the rebound and are giving up a ton of offensive rebounds.

[Phantom255x]

No defense. Also we need some scoring from the likes of Jrue, Horford and White. Doesn't have to be 20+ each just a little

[Indocelts]

I don't care about the outcome of this game. 

Clearly the team, except KP and PP, just doesn't treat this game seriously.

And Joe just doesn't know how to motivate his team.

[SCeltic34]

This is embarrassing.  Getting destroyed by an inferior team.

[jpotter33]

So tired of watching Brown half-arse defensively. Knecht is a good shooter, and he just provide a half-hearted close out on him.

EDIT: And then another one given up to Rui. Honestly, I don't think he's All-Star level this year. He's been awful.

[Atzar]

Yes, please continue sagging too far off of open shooters in the corner.  It's working so well. 

[Phantom255x]

This is embarrassing
