Lakers (14-11) at Celtics (14-10) 2/9

[JoT]

Why, oh why, can't we grab a rebound?

I'm trying to wonder this because I don't understand that and I don't understand how they don't know how to box out. Where's that Red video from YouTube when you need it.

[Kiorrik]

our rebounding is horrendous, just horrendous

It's absent. Something that does not exist, can't be horrendous

harharhar

how does mike brown have a job?

I am surprised Pierce can't create more separation from Artest when running him off picks.

I get why it's a difficult matchup off the dribble or in isolations but I can't understand how Artest can stay with him coming off of picks. Artest is so vulnerable there nowadays and Pierce is a lethal catch and shoot player.

[PosImpos]

Bahaha . . . every time we go ahead on a jumpshot, the Lakers take it close inside and get a tip in.

Serves the Celtics right.  If you can't get a single basket inside you deserve to lose.

And yet sometimes even games you deserve to lose...you win.

If those prayer jumpshots keep going in, sure, we will, but those could just as easily go in the Lakers favor (Kobe game winner).  Lakers have guys who can take and make the high percentage shots, and they can drive inside and throw it up near the rim where their big men will tip it in.  Celtics are at an enormous disadvantage.

Bynum has Sideshow Bob numbers.

[PosImpos]

Die by the jumpshot.  That's that.

[Redz]

[Roy H.]

Tough night for KG. 

[nickagneta]

GET RONDO OUT OF THE GAME.

Seriously, just put Pietrus in.  He can stretch the floor, and we're running the offense through Pierce anyway.

Didn't Pierce run the show to end regulation...how did that work out?

[bruinsandceltics]

We got one play. We going to go with a Ray ISO again? 

[PosImpos]

Down to the last 6 seconds.  If the seconds can get a prayer jumpshot to fall, they win.  If they don't, they won't.

Celtics deserve to lose.  They've had enough prayer shots go in just to stay in this game.

[vinnie]

The way the offense is running, I wonder if they will even get off a shot.
