This has to be the most uninspiring performance I've seen in a long time. This team has a soft streak in them that rears its head yet again.

Joe did put Horford in for Brown, who has 5 fouls.

They can't get stops at all. They got it down to seven 20 times but then Lakers just keep scoring at ease. Joe simply does not know how to coach a defense.

Only positive is this game has made Lebron and AD look like proper clowns. Not as big clowns as our guys but yeah…

Give credit to the Lakers, they punched the Celtics in the grill.

The Lakers caught fire and the Celtics couldn't respond.

It's still an aberration as the Lakers are not this good from beyond the arc.

This team has a lot of issues. A LOT. To those that get their panties in a bunch whenever someone points out something wrong with the team - I give you exhibit A - this version of the Celtics.

Way better offensively. A shame he got injured before the Heat series when we needed offense badly.

I’m just laughing now when Russell made that 3. Of course he does. Of course he does

Only because it is the Lakers. Most of the losses this season were like this.

Lakers aren't fouling though.

They should have been going low to KP all half, little too late now. Joe's coaching is extremely concerning.
