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

[Surferdad]

Just like the Celtics, I am gassed from that late OT game. Cannot watch this one anymore.

How does AD not get T'ed up there? This is the inconsistency crap with the refs. JT would've been thrown out for that.

[Phantom255x]

Honestly I might go to bed if they start off the 3rd poorly

[blink]

really needed to get a stop there uggg

[jpotter33]

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.

This has become exceedingly clear this year. Doesn't really feel like they respect him. Feels very 2021/2023-esque.

Is Joe watching this game? We are playing tired guys trying to dig out of a deep hole! WAKE UP JOE!

[radiohead]

Big Al was right there to get that rebound. We?re getting outplayed and out hustled.

[Atzar]

Thank god we got one chip, because it looks like the hunger is gone.  Too satisfied to get another unless something wakes this team up.

[keevsnick]

Celtics have taken 20 threes, made 6. Lakers have taken 20 threes, made 11. That's 15 points of the deficit in a 19-point game.

[Donoghus]

Well, that half sucked

[SCeltic34]

C's shooting poorly from 3 as expected.  Meanwhile the Lakers are shooting uncharacteristically well.

[jpotter33]

Yes, let's keep playing double bigs so that we can just continue to give them offensive rebounds.

Such a frustrating team. As enjoyable as last year's team was to watch, this year's team is just as frustrating and unenjoyable to watch. Some of it is high expectations and potential just coming off the championship, but everything from the coaching to star play to role player play has been super frustrating with some small exceptions.

[tenn_smoothie]

Hate, Hate, Hate losing to the Lakers, especially with that fraud Lebron James.

[blink]

if this was last year I would say, we got them right where we want them.
over confident and those 3 point %'s are going to come down a lot.
this year, not so sure we will even make a run.

[liam]

Play some energy bench guys Joe. He just sticks to the same rotations every night. Everyone can see this slow assed offense coming from a mile away!
