One free throw for the half. 12 turnovers! Opponent shooting 52% from three. Good thing it's a 48 minute game and they've been a much better 4th quarter team than last year.

Considering the “competition”, that’s the worst half the Celtics have played all season.

Is this where we all chant “It’s only the regular season. This stuff is bound to happen?”

Hopefully Joe reads them the riot act.. feel like with Queta, PP and Hauser in there there was at least some energy.. starters are playing awful so far growing the lead for the Lakers every time they get in there.

I was going to bet on the Celtics to win this game, but MGM is quoting -145. Seems too optimistic.

Celtics haven't been able to hit wide open looks, while the Lakers are hitting ridiculous 3's.

Here comes the cliches from Barkley.

This is a shooting variance extreme outlier game, nothing more nothing less. They mostly cut out the turnovers, now it's just about shots

The Cs should try to hang a 40-22 third quarter on these lesser Lakers. If they wait until the last half of the fourth to make their move, D-Lo will make a couple of trashy shots and Reeves will shoot a handful of FTs to thwart the late comeback.

It's not always ONLY about shooting variance. They were awful in every facet.

Shooting didn't help, but if you even that out it's still a tied game, at home, against the Lebron/AD-less Lakers. That was horrible basketball.

Get ready because there are going to be a lot of middling efforts against crappy teams from now until the end of the regular season. They don’t need to go balls to the wall every night and they know it. Still bet they win this game.

With Mil and Phil loosing a few, some off nights aren't terrible. BUT NOT AGAINST THE ACCURSED LAKERS!!

It’s also the third game in four nights and 4th game in 6 nights, after a pretty miserable month with regard to the schedule. They’re probably tired.

I thought Q1 was their worst Quarter of the season

until I got a gander of Q2

the starters were goofing around with the ball

Seriously if a fast break off a block is going to become a dumb three followed by nobody guarding their shooter, put in different players.

if Reaves could shoot like this every night he'd be in the hunt for MVP

I'd like someone to start taking it personal that Reaves is shooting this well and start to D him up.

I'm not sure where the rebounding has gone this week, see a lot of guys just not trying on that end.

Shame. They should feel as ashamed of them as us real ones do. This is the most embarrassing Boston sports performance in decades.
