Lakers (2-1) at Celtics (1-2) Game 4 6/10

[ChainSmokingLikeDino]

Can KG rebound with BOTH hands?

you'd think he's have learned by now.  just like you'd think they'd have learned to do into KG in the post or drive to the basket or not wait until the last second to shoot.

oh wasn't that a stroke of luck!!!   KG!!!


what is up with Ray getting blocked so much these past 2 games?

Seems like, at least in the last game and is perhaps leaking into this one, that the shot he took to his thigh may have done a bit of damage. Seems like his lift isn't there---as such getting blocked, his rhythm is off, messing up his form leading to misses and blocked shots. something is off. might as well be that

[celticinorlando]

seems like we left about 4 or 5 baskets on the rim

[BigBaby]

horrible half. refs let us have a ton of extra possessions too. can't miss all those easy shots.

[RJ87]

But we just got outscored in a half where we clearly outplayed the Lakers.

Can we outplay a team when we're barely shooting 40%??

[FallGuy]

we need something out of ray. this is starting to get really concerning that he has mentally lost it

He's had like four shots blocked - from the perimeter! - the last 1.5 games.

[fairweatherfan]

Worst stat of the half - Rondo with just 1 assist.  We need more from him.

But we're being outshot by 8% from the floor and 30% on FTs (and have taken fewer) and are only down 3.  We must take advantage of the good shots we're getting ourselves. for the 2nd half.

Gut check time - 24 minutes to determine whether this becomes a 3 game series or we really go into desperation mode.

[jimmehx]

How much longer can we rationalise losing?

No more sloppy play excuses. We need big offense from the BIG four; starting the first second of Q3.

[Rashi]

Huge shot by KG, but i have to **** at Pau getting LeBron type calls. When did this guy start getting superstar calls on the same level that James and Wade gets them!? Am i missing something?

+1

So far the game is going alright. Am requesting the bigs to PLEASE rebound with BOTH hands. Stop tipping the ball the Laker players.

We are getting some real great look...just need to start knocking the shots down.

Come on C's....let have a better 2nd half.


And GREAT shot by KG to end the quarter.

[DinTN]

Attack the rim, draw some fouls, or kick out to open Ray.

[Tenacious D]

Well, the D has been decent--are getting stops. But have got to get the ball in the cup.

[celticinorlando]

rondo missed 5 layups?? wow

[Drucci]

Down 3 when we should be up 10 at halftime... frustrating and worrying. Logic says they will make these easy layups and shots in the second half but... logic wasn't there in game 2. Hopefully tonight is a different story. Let's give the ball to KG to start the third, make a run and never look back!!

Rondo has to make his layups and FTs and Ray has to show up, he is awful once again.

[Casperian]

We´re down 3, the Lakers are impressive but we´re pathetic?

Pff, I hate these analysts

[ejk3489]

Ugh, I do not know why I even bother listening to the half time show. Terrible.

[slamtheking]

I hate Barry on the ABC broadcast but he's dead-on with his assessment of the C's offense.  pathetic.

I don't know what they can do to get Ray out of his funk.  It's not like he drives to the hoop that much and that's not what they really need him to do.
