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

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.

Brissett rebounds also. Just weird decision.

[Triple7]

Same issues with tatum. He’s just a softie afraid of contact. I’m sick of his weak ass euro step drive, and his dribble dribble side step 3. No wonder nobody take him seriously in the mvp talks. We lead the nba, yet he’s 6th or 7th in the race. Its because he plays soft, and he’s weak mentally. Easily frustrated. For a supposed superstar, he has tons of poop games. Just look at the numbers of jokic, giannis, embiid, luka and SGA. They always deliver and play consistently good win or lose.

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

He can go stomp on Lucky's face for all I care today! He earned it!

[Green89]

2 losses already in this huge homestand.

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.

People can rant about Brown, Mazzulla, Holiday, the bench or whoever but if Jayson Tatum doesn’t start lifting his game to an MVP like level this team will be next to no chance in the playoffs.

My gut says they still won't be humbled after tonight.

Jaylen brown 8 points. Austin reaves 32 points.

Reminder Caleb Martin destroyed Jaylen brown in a 7 game series.

If we don’t win it all, we gotta **** move on from him.

[Jaqua92]

Tatum isn't close to a top 5 player.

[Red2]

Booooo

2 losses already in this huge homestand.

Wrecked by both LA teams.

Amen this is probably one of these worse Ls of the season. lol

[Setshot33]

This team isn't hanging any banners anytime soon.
Those that think they're close are as delusional as Buffalo Bills fans.

Lack of humility and softness isn't a good combination. Team is getting ready to get punked in the Playoffs

Tatum needs to learn how to draw more fouls. He sidesteps contact or tries to finger roll shots, but then complains when he doesn't get foul calls. Brown on the other hand can draw fouls but has a terrible percentage in hitting them. I wish there was a bet to place money on Brown's first free throw shot hits off the front of the rim more times than any other shot he misses.

The one where we had it down to single digits, then he took a ridiculously stupid, off angle, off balance jump back three (not even a step back, he took an awkward leap back), was just terrible.

...and we're giving him $350M next year! We are ****!

I don’t even think he’s afraid.

He just spends the whole game expecting or looking for contact and then crying when he doesn’t get a call. It’s honestly painful to watch.

It’s like that **** trainer of his wants him to foul bait like Embiid

[SLCceltic]

This game is ANOTHeR strong indicator that something is WRoNG

The HC's job is to have his guys ready to play ...this team's mental toughness is a serious problem

It's time for Brad or Ownership to step in

Tatum draws way more fouls than Jaylen, what on earth are you talking about?

They're exactly who they've always been. They haven't been humbled by embarrassing losses before and they certainly won't after this one.
