Game Thread – Lakers @ Celtics – 7:30PM, Thurs, Feb. 1, 2024

Pretty sure losing a 1st round game on a Trae Young half court iso is worse lol And literally all your posts are making soft excuses about why this team isn’t a fraud, coached by a fraud.

Life eh.

Bucks just got rid of their coach and they have like 3 less wins than us. You either get it or you don’t. It’s very simple.

All I’ve said is we will find out about this team in the playoffs.

They have two different starters to last season.

You can rant all you like until then but that’s the reality.

Mazzulla doesn’t come close to Adrian Griffen in terms of coaching ineptness

You need to watch more ball if you actually need to see them play in the playoffs to realize they will struggle BADLY. This 3pt offense isn’t sustainable against elite competition, which is why we are under .500 against the top teams. The defense is also not as good as it looks. The bench is crap. Simple issues to see.

Mazzula isn’t close to Griffen? And you say that based on what exactly? Both guys were separated in the standings by 3 wins, yet one has a lot more two way talent in his hands.

I watch plenty of ball.

Every team has its flaws. There’s not an elite team in the NBA that will win in the playoffs if they can’t take and make a lot of 3s. That’s how the NBA works these days.

I’ve asked you like 50 times what your alternative to shooting 3s is.

Sounds like someone hasn’t watched much of the Bucks if you think Griffen and Mazzulla are comparable. Griffen was coaching an absolute pathetic defence that was consistently abused game after game. Giannis and Lopez out of position, dumb switches etc. He has two offensive cheat codes in Dame and Giannis yet they weren’t working well together. Meanwhile we have one of the best offences and defences in the league.

The Bucks have Giannis and Dame, if you think the Celtics should somehow be many more games in front of the Bucks then you really need to lower those ridiculous expectations

I feel like our bench could never win a game like this

Consider yourself fortunate to miss this shameful display of Celtics basketball.

[MaxwellSmart]

Hauser of course...where was he in the 4th?

[Red2]

Brown was playing well but lately he’s been a non factor

[NYCelticsfan136]

Losing to a bunch of geezers. This is why you can’t take this team serious.

Consider yourself lucky

Did Ham take a timeout? What a **** ass clown.

[RB34]

This is one of the most embarrassing losses I’ve ever seen.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Joe has no plan B. No change up. This game screamed for an energy changer or two. Joe couldn't be bothered to give Brissett a try.

[Shamrock23]

Best home record, Home game, national TV.......all I saw was an egg---that we laid.

Their geezer didn't play.

Tatum has fallen off this season. Last year he was so much better. No wonder SGA and Booker have hopped him this season. Hardly any scoring explosions anymore.

Best record in the league, most talented team, but are absolutely frauds come playoff time. They’ll get dogged by any of the top teams out west. The east is weak but teams like the Knicks will make them work

It's a bit depressing watching guys like Booker, Embiid, KAT, and Luka drop 60+ when Tatum hasn't even seen 50 since last season.

Forget 50. Tatum would be lucky to score 40 again. Man shot is all over the place, takes quarter off, weak drive attempts, gets scared when defenders get physical with him.

Was sooo much better last year.

Can't wait for Joe to say...the difference is they hit their threes. I liked our shots.

Seemed Joe just expected the lakers to stop hitting and we’d win the game. Seemed to not be worried at all headed to the fourth.

He's absolutely been a factor

Spoiler:

for the Lakers

[NYCelticsfan136]

I just seen no lebron or AD? Lmao . Probably one of the worse Ls of the season.

They were the only ones that played well. The starters were god awful
