Anyways, GOD I hate the **** Lakers. I hope we crush them.


They’ll play. LeBron wants to show up the defending champs and get one back for Luka

Yeah, what kind of illness?

He was on the bench in their last game.

Just in case everyone doesn’t want to waste the next 3+ hours I will let you know Boston 121 Lakers 103. If you choose to watch, enjoy the game!

For every 4 games he misses in a row he's able to play 20+ games after. He'll play a bunch after this and sit he final week of the season and he'll be good to go for the playoffs. :D

It's fine.

Luke and Q are good enough for this Lakers team.

What makes the Laker defense good is they have size from 1 to 4 and the C is good enough.

Right now Austin Reaves is the smallest player on their starting unit.
Reaves is 6-5.

Bron, Luka, and Rui or Dorian are 6-7 or 6-8.

Basically you can't hunt mismatches against them.

Yeah, I have the Celts winning this one comfortably.

I will still watch because I have nothing better to do for the next few hours. :lol:

With LAL so small tonight without Jackson Hayes, I hope we see some Queta minutes. Pound these dudes on the glass and at the rim! They have NO Size!

Celtics wearing the Home Whites, always a good sign. Lakers in the purple.
LETS GO!
