Too many threes off delayed pace. We need to push the pace, attack and kick, or make the extra passes. Those are the threes we can knock down easier. These deep heaves are not good basketball.

It seems obvious too many non professionals like us.. Too bad the professionals don't see it the same way..

Putrid 2nd quarter, some habits will never change hence why we wont win anything again.

Not worried. Mazzula is the king of in game adjustments and should get them more threes in the 2nd half.

This is not Celtics pace at all
Lakers pushing pace more than we are , again this is more of a playoff style basketball game snd we are not looking great

Mazzulla sucking on his thumbs....

As much as I am not a fan of Mazzulla, the bench being trash can't be blamed on him.

He’s to blame if he puts them all together at the same time. Horford and hauser are useless out there

Stop shooting threes,
you have a front court advantage,
White struggling as is Holiday,
and JB has been crashed in to....

And I'm not even surprised it was completely ignored by the broadcast team. The whole league has been rigged for this guy for years. He's the most overrated player in NBA history.

Im really glad that LeBron is still alive. I thought they would need to get the cart out or even a wheelchair. Terrible what happened to him.

Oh and I guess its cool Brown is okay too

We're 2-6 when shooting under 33% from 3. Undefeated otherwise. We're at 29.2% right now.

We gave up nine offensive boards. Way too many.

This feels like a loss. The Lakers defense has turned up and we've gotten essentially nothing easy in the second. We're also shooting horrendous from three, which is usually an auto-L for these guys. JT looking like **** to top it off. Hope I'm wrong.

This is good.

Close games will only make this team better.

Cs learn nothing from blowout wins.

We were always going to put the cue in the rack at some point after building an 18 point lead.

Glad that happened at the end of the 1st and through the second quarter.

Makes it easier for the coach to re-focus the team at half time. Tatum and KP need to step up.

Joe is useless!! This team has no flow on offense, I swear they just improv the whole time. I watch these dudes play ball and it looks like every man for himself. Just shoot 3s and you're good.

I think way more blame should fall on tatum than those two backups who didn't shoot that much..

Careful Tatum doubters, you're about get Tatumized!

NBA refs are pathetic.

If you can, go back and look at the replay of this. LeBron didn't grab his knee until he glanced a look at Brown, saw he was going down, THEN grabbed his knee and cried like a baby.

Fierce1 · Post #280 » by **Fierce1** » Mon Dec 25, 2023 11:18 pm

How many times has Tatum been doubted and ended up serving crow in the end!
