[bostonsportsfan]

im gonna be the first celtic fan of all Celtics fans to say these words.  Not necessary to trade Gerald Wallace Hes always hustling doing what ever it takes to earn his money I trust him rondo sully ko to lead us to a future nba title LETS GO C's!!!!!!!!

[Nowee]

I stayed up till 4:30 in the morning (Netherlands) to see the Celtics. No problem with losing this season but not AGAINST the Lakers AND the return of Rondo.

.edit: Mind the language, no veiled cussing either.

Bench Green .....start Wallace

[slamtheking]

another game where AB showed he's not the SG that should be on the floor at the end of a close game. 

[Snakehead]

Great line for Kelly wow.

[Dog_Lover106]

Kendal Marshall got 19 points. This should not happen.

It wasn't Marshall creating much of anything.

We couldn't guard Gasol in the post, had to double. This meant open threes after a few passes everytime.

Marshall has averaged a double double his last ten games. 43 assists in his last three games.

Kelly shut Gasol down in the second half when he was on him, he denied him the ball most every time, he only got that assist for 3 on Kelly after he torched everyone in the first half... go watch it again. Kelly is a better defender than people know and he will be even better once he can get NBA training this offseason. He was doing everything out there tonight and the passing was a thing of beauty!


That 3 at the end when RR messed up his assignment when LA took the lead, Kelly had done really well to deny Gasol and then he almost got out there to block that ball by running across court to contest it.


I know people think KO is bad but I think you expect too much from a rookie big man. It's not his fault he abused the kids in college and summer league!

Really disappointing loss. Probably the only game this season I went out of my way to wake up early to watch.

Losing to the freakin' Lakers is bad enough. Losing in Rondo's return, and by blowing yet another lead, has me miffed. Should have just gotten the extra sleep. What a waste of my time.

Could've had a chance if the refs didn't eff up that jumpball call..

CLEARLY was off Johnson..

yea that was a BS call the only way it looked off Wallace was from above looking down on the ball, no way you can tell that way. from the cam underneath all Johnson.

The real bummer was watching this game living in L.A.

The NBA has got to change this rule....I have NBA League Pass on DirecTV put was still forced into watching the game on the Lakers network (Time Warner Cable Sportsnet TWCS).
There seems to be some terrible misconceptions of who should be on this team and who shouldn't.
one of the people that doesn't belong is Jeff Green. Hey, if you want a show every fifth game and nothing in between then Jeff's your kinda guy. I will take Gerald Wallace's hustle all day long over Green's, I'll play when I want to attitude, any day of the week.  another guy that belongs is Chris Humphries, the guy is a gamer and these are the kind of players that win games with a floor general like Rondo.  another guy who must learn to "shut it down" when he's having a bad shooting night is Avery Bradley.
I predict that Ainge will make a huge move shortly that will include Jeff Green!!!

[DesertDweller]

Bench Green .....start Wallace

I don't know if you were trying to be sarcastic or what but you hit on an excellent idea. Green is doing nothing to help this team and Gerald Wallace is busting his butt trying to make something happen. I would take five Wallaces and five Humphries before I would take one lazy Green.

how many times has LeBron flopped already..?

[Meadowlark_Scal]

bradley shoots TOO much..and he STILL has a poor avg...
