In the real world, officials have been pretty unbalanced—-as this review shows.i think the officials have been pretty good. i think its entirely a function of how they are playing
It’s really not.I dunno, the FT disparity is really bothering me looking at the box score now. Shooting is more even than you'd think now.
There were a good number of drievs, no calls5 free throws. I'm guessing they didn't bother posting up and driving?
Gotta feel for the fans who paid premium to see the Lakers' stars sit and the home team to go through the motions.
I missed the review but one call proves an imbalance over 48 minutes?In the real world, officials have been pretty unbalanced—-as this review shows.
but that is not to excuse Celtics playing a lot more poorly than lakers
This. Like it's cool, it's Feb 1st, how about not letting a random game ruin your night?Lakes 19-36 from deep is kinda hilarious too. I mean it’s hard to win when Jared Vanderbilt is canning threes and Jaxson Hayes is making all his free throws. Just that kind of night.
no one said or suggested that—get a grip. The whole game shows the imbalance. That call just illustrates it.I missed the review but one call proves an imbalance over 48 minutes?
100% this. The Celtics got no whistles because they didn’t earn any whistles.Every drive was like 1 on 3 with minimal ball movement they barely gave the refs a chance to even consider a whistle.
2 off days then Grizzlies then 2 off days better be enough to recoverThis was 90% lack of effort. They must be exhausted, but the playoffs aren’t exactly a cakewalk.
Yes. Plus, again its kinda hard to beat any NBA team shooting 53% from deep on 36 shotsThe NBA regular season kind of sucks at this point of the year. All the great teams just kind of randomly no-show. It’s not just the Celtics. Every night no one gets hurt is a good night at this point.
It's going to sting the boys. National game getting embarrassed by the JV team.Oh well. Take the mulligan and move on. Pointless game.
I kind of agree but they have not played great this home stand.This game is legitimately funny to me.
It is a largely meaningless game in February but losing to the Lakers stings.
It seems both Jays went into this knowing both Laker stars were out and figured they could phone it inHauser, Pritch, Horford, Queta all positive in the game. This loss is all on Tatum and Brown. They just didn't have it. 12-34.
Eh. It's a random night in February. If they did this in June I'd be furious.Its the Lakers, no they dont.
I think weve gone over the foul call thing wrt the lakers in the port cellar and the tldr is they dont get a particularly better whistle than anyone else, they just shoot way fewer threes.no one said or suggested that—get a grip. The whole game shows the imbalance. That call just illustrates it.
Again…Celtics didn’t play well enough. But the foul disparity is a classic issue vs lakers too
I guess it’s better that they know now than in April but yeeeshIt seems both Jays went into this knowing both Laker stars were out and figured they could phone it in
Really no way to fix it that will be palatable to owners, unfortunately.The NBA regular season kind of sucks at this point of the year. All the great teams just kind of randomly no-show. It’s not just the Celtics. Every night no one gets hurt is a good night at this point.
They had to run with the friggen Pacers for 48 minutes on a B2B Tuesday. It showed tonight.This was 90% lack of effort. They must be exhausted, but the playoffs aren’t exactly a cakewalk.
get back that Celtic pick swap from SASHauser can stay. The rest can be traded for pick swaps at the deadline
its just me, but I wouldn't be able to respect or take seriously any of the stuff a guy like that said. maybe the players still feel motivated by him but Id find it perplexing.Another loss where I wish we still had Ime. He would be lighting a fire under these guys. I hate CJM so much.
Is there really evidence for that?Another loss where I wish we still had Ime. He would be lighting a fire under these guys. I hate CJM so much.
Ime had them playing balls to the wall every night from February to April. Which was great until they completely petered out in June. I am happy to see them prioritize health over trying to win every game. Sometimes that means phoning a few winter games in.Another loss where I wish we still had Ime.

Not disagreeing too much but wish they would have phoned in this Sunday instead of tonightIme had them playing balls to the wall every night from February to April.

This is very Charles and for TV purposes the correct thing to say. Knows the audience.Barkley says the Celtics have great talent, but are mentally weak.
You know that's exactly what's going to happen.Hauser shot well...so we have that going for us
Maybe the February schedule isn't so easy?
C's will be fine
BUT if this turns the Lakers season around I'll be PO'd
They still might! I’m willing to bet they look refreshed Sunday after two days of rest. They needed this schedule to ease up a bit.Not disagreeing too much but wish they would have phoned in this Sunday instead of tonight
I hope not. We heard that inane shit last year and how did that work out?Is this where we all chant “It’s only the regular season. This stuff is bound to happen?”
