Game Thread – Celtics @ Lakers – 10:00PM, Thurs, Jan. 23, 2025

I am so fed up with this team
Stupid, lethargic, dumb stubborn coach

Seeing a lot of bs on the court over the past month or so. It’s actually making me not want to watch some of these games because the effort has been disgusting, the shot selection has been just god awful with the amount of three point chucking. Yes, this team was great shooting threes last season but goddamn is there not a massive difference in the way we shot open threes compared to guys blinding coming up the court and bricking with 15 on the shot clock. When al Horford is doing that **** against a contested shot against Anthony Davis right when he checks in the game, it’s a problem.

The lazy defensive effort, like when is the last time someone has taken a charge or someone on this team been fired up after a great play or anything. Just lifeless with no energy, bad ball movement can’t even make entry passes.

Team has been ass for a long period of time now and there should be some concern.

[Dangit]

I'm usually not so negative on here....
But what an absolute joke of an effort tonight.
They should be embarrassed...
Jaylen is looking especially horrible

[itrsteve]

Slow Joe is so damned rigid with his rotations.

Honestly, I don't see it that way. He's making the responsible party own it.

[Parliament10]

I realize the Celtics played a lot of games in few days but you can't deny there is a coaching issue in games like these too.

Absolutely.
He's got some kinda wacky tunnel vision.

[playa-hater]

Clueless, Stubborn, Idiotic and hasn't an ounce of Balls to motivate his players to GIVE a F*CK.

Isn't a Coach actually supposed to coach??

He does the same shet over and over again and again, with poor results and doesn't change shet!!!!!!

[exculpatory]

Very disappointing

[GrandTheftRondo]

Get Jaylen Brown off.

Honestly sick of watching him and am warming very much to the day he should be traded

[exculpatory]

Very disappointing

[Dogen]

Who else is still watching just to see Springer?

[RondoToKG]

You know what, i'mwatching this train wreck **** it. I've missed so many games this season and just started keeping up and now they're playing like ****. MIght as well enjoy it.

Yeah I'm not putting this on Joe.....
However maybe benching them in the third would wake our guys up a bit.

[playa-hater]

Kornet is so bad on defense. Over and over again.. and Kornet + Al has to be some of the dumbest coaching I have seen in years.

I have never seen a coach look so lost on the sideline.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Seriously this **** reminds me of NBA 2K when some kid is playing and does nothing but shoot horrible 3s

Yes we shot a lot of 3s last year and early in the season but the ball moved around. It wasn’t just a bunch of step backs and desperate heaves.

what the actual **** is wrong with these idiots?

Teams are realising you can just force us into awful 3s

[BRUNiNHO91]

He put Springer and Queta in down 25 in the 4th lol

People defend this **** guy lolol

[Dogen]

Very disappointing

Thoughts on JB?

[itrsteve]

I respect what Jaylen did for the City of Boston from a community perspective and his undeniable run through the playoffs/finals so I don't take the idea of moving him lightly.

But he is a momentum vortex.

I'd trade him for Ben Simmons right now without question

[exculpatory]

Very disappointing

[Bill Lumbergh]

I think he should have recognized early on that some of his regulars just didn't have it/ weren't bringing it. He should have tried to change the energy with Queta/Springer much, much earlier than just waiting until the game is over and inserting them in garbage time.

[playa-hater]

He put Springer and Queta in down 25 in the 4th lol

People defend this **** guy lolol

But he won a title they said.

Because he had by far the best talent. Now even that talent can't save how bad he is.
