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

He chucks like Kobe but def does not attack like Kobe.

Prime Kobe shot like 10% worse at the rim than Tatum.

Prime Kobe was taking 9-10 FTs a game cuz he was very aggressive. You fail to see my point.

Tatum's FTr is very close to Kobe's best seasons for drawing fouls. That's on top of shooting much better at the rim.

I’m so tired of Jaylen Brown playing like a dumbass

I think if they choke again this playoff season there's a really great possibility that he's moved.

Which is fine by me because I'm tired of it too.

[Objectivity]

Dumbest defender on the team…

[GrandTheftRondo]

Tatum should be embarrassed! He missed tons of layups with his weak ass euro stepping moves, and gets blocked easily because of that. Still avoids contact. He should learn to use the board properly.

It’s amazing how someone can put on so much weight and muscle and still finishes like an absolute bitch at the hoop.

I’d rather the slimmer version of Tatum with more athleticism if he’s not going to use his size properly.

Exactly!
He gathers the ball early on the dribble, and has nothing left but to euro step to the basket. No lift at all. That’s why he gets blockef easily. Also he doesn’t have the ability of a luka or even antman to finush around the basket. He just throws the ball up and complains at the refs.

I saw some young Tatum highlights the other day and the athleticism at the rim was completely different

[PierceFan4ever]

Good job Jaylen. The Lakers appreciate you.

Getting cooked by Austin **** reaves

Don’t want to hear about hear about his fake so called elite defense.

[Riverwalk2021]

Softzingis but came back with a great block lol

[KamikazeK]

This team just inexplicably forgets how to play basketball every 5 games or so.

[PierceFan4ever]

[zoyathedestroya]

I'd rather get rid of the coach

[GotDaSauce]

60pts given up to a JV team. I don’t care if they come back or not because they aren’t winning s*** this year regardless.

This level of overreaction is embarrassing

The teams effort is embarrassing!

[chrisab123]

Do the Celtics shoot regular 2 pointers?

I'm counting down the days

[BRUNiNHO91]

If we had a coach he would probably tell somebody to guard Reaves. Just maybe.

Bum ass.

[Bird84]

Tell me again how Reaves won't continue to hit shots. Same old story with this core.

[zoyathedestroya]

JB All-Defense though. His guy has 25 points in 20 minutes.

[TheMartian]

LOL at this team getting embarrased by Reaves. They shouldn't be taken seriously if all it takes is Austin Reaves to beat you.

[The Corey's]

Bum ass.

I recently heard that the Celtics shouldn't be expected to win every game and play great basketball at all times.

I heard that from the coach.

Bum ass.

He did tell somebody to guard Reaves.
