Probably the first WTF of the year. Milwaukee blowout was an understandable schedule loss but I have no idea what this is.
1/27/24 vs. LAC: Let the Homestand Begin
- Thread starter 128
- Start date
He's been hacked all game... and then got T'd up for pointing that out after it happened for the 20th time.
The rest of the team yes, but JT is the only one getting there, and he should have like 8-10 FTs instead on 1
I don't know which game y'all are watching saying the Celtics are getting hacked. maybe one missed call otherwise just good defense and bad decisions by the celtics
My brother-in-law and nephew are at the game. Of all the games to pick based on how they've played at home so far...
Some of the C's takes are terrible. The refs shouldn't be rewarding bad angles and prayers with a whistle.
And now Kornet is heading to the locker room...
It's somewhat discouraging to see the two apparent top teams in the West come into the Garden and win.
I do like to see irrational confidence PP as opposed to the tentative version of himself to start the year. Give me the guy that threw up 50-something points in the summer charity game...
I love how Joe called the TO and immediately pulled out the whiteboard and marker. Whatcha drawing up for the 30-point play Joe?
He's said a few times he coaches the exact same regardless of the situation because he owes it to the end of bench guys.
C's got a ton of great looks early and missed them all. If they make a few of them, maybe it's a difference game.
Clippers were fantastic.
It’s maybe the second or third game all season that they didn’t have a realistic chance to win. I wouldn’t call it nothing per se but I’d rather the occasional wtf like this than a bunch of games across the whole season where the team looks like it can’t be bothered (aka last season). It reads more fluke to me than anything.
I thought they looked slow all night And not quite engaged and a 10 point game became a 30 point blow out. Clippers were under full sail and kicked ass.
Maybe with two recent home losses, any misguided thoughts of home invincibility are dismissed. You gotta do more than show up at the Gaahden.

That was definitely odd but I wouldn’t read more into it other than January NBA weirdness. A few more first half threes and a healthy porzingis and it might be a different gene.
They haven't been to the mountain top in 15 years. I don't want it to be 16.
35% FG for the game, even with the dunks in the 4Q - for sure, the Clips rattled them, and played great D, but it should have been closer in the first half.
The scoring drought in the 3Q was on the Cs, though. They looked just totally out of sorts. None of their shit was working like it usually does and they just seemed not to have a plan B. They've been so used to hunting mismatches lately that they seemed to not know what to do without a weak defender on the floor. Maybe they should have been able to hunt Harden a little, but Clips were helping him and they weren't feeding Tatum enough early to get the right switch.
Brown has been lights out lately and he was a zero tonight. Neither Al or White made a shot. Bit of a head scratcher, really.
