Celtics vs Lakers Game Thread (Feb 23, 2020)

[Manny98]

:rockon:

[Manny98]

Is Keef playing today?

[Manny98]

My man Bradley can't miss as of late

[Wally450]

Hope the Celtics don't get beat up too much on the inside.

[Wally450]

They just took away a Lakers goaltending because LeBron lobbied to the refs. :facepalm

[Manny98]

Playoff Rondo is in the building :bowdown:

[StrongLurk]

Lebron sucks

[aj1987]

Lebron sucks

Are you retarded or just bipolar?

[Indian guy]

Tatum putting on such a show. His breakout season for sure.

[Trollsmasher]

AD is just terrible

Gives you absolutely nothing offensively unless you spoonfeed him the baskets... can't deal with a double team to save his life

Can't believe they traded the young core for him:facepalm

[Manny98]

LeBron getting outplayed by Jason Tatum for the second time this season...

[Celtics 1825]

Checking in. I see JT is killing it again :bowdown:

[SamuraiSWISH]

Does LeBron EVEN have non pick related or necessary take over ability? :facepalm:lol

[Celtics 1825]

Green :lol

[Trollsmasher]

this game is all about Tatum absolutely destroying Davis on both sides of the floor

[SamuraiSWISH]

Tatum putting on such a show. His breakout season for sure.
Shame he couldn’t do this for Team USA :facepalm

[Indian guy]

LeBron getting outplayed by Jason Tatum for the second time this season...

Tatum looks like one special player. Nobody in the league at his size has his offensive skill level.

[DoctorP]

The rise of Tatum is elevating Boston to the second tier

[StrongLurk]

Are you retarded or just bipolar?

It's the eye test man. Forget the numbers for a sec. I'm not sure Lebron is a top 5 player in the league and that's WITH Curry and KD not even playing this year.

I know Lebron isn't close to his peak and is old...but it's frustrating to see him not improve these huge holes in his game AT ALL...like he's played more minutes than almost anybody...but still can't shoot the ball or make free throws...

He needs to be practicing a different skill set as he ages but he hasn't changed at all. I'm just burnt out at seeing him suck at really important facets of basketball.

[Celtics 1825]

Wanamaker trash af right now

[DoctorP]

dont worry , the roids will cover the flaws :lol

[StrongLurk]

dont worry , the roids will cover the flaws :lol


I'm a big Lebron fan but he has not looked good against the best teams in the league this year. This is the first year in a long time where I'm not confident that playoff Lebron will be able to dominate.

The Lakers bench has been amazing this game btw.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Why doesn’t Bron try to guard Tatum?

[Indian guy]

Why doesn’t Bron try to guard Tatum?

I expect him to late in the 4th.

Dumb to have LeBron on Tatum earlier than that. He'll just get gassed.

[red1]

lebron looks old and unimpressive. he really is done or bordering on it.

[juju151111]

One thing about Jayson tatum gane he needs to work on is his passing. When they double him or shade him, he has no vision and leads to a Turnover most of the time.

[dreamshake]

Rondo has been the best Lakers player this game. Rondo definitely needs to play at least 30 minutes a game consistently for the Lakers to have a chance in the playoffs.

All the people who called Pope trash are eating crow right now.

Lebron shitting the bed as usual against elite teams. When you're so offensively limited, it's hard to score against good defense. Story of his career.

[Indian guy]

Rondo has been the best Lakers player this game. Rondo definitely needs to play at least 30 minutes a game consistently for the Lakers to have a chance in the playoffs.


Dumbass :facepalm :oldlol:

Rondo has a good game once every 5 games at best. He's one of the worst players in the league otherwise and playing him anywhere close to 30 minutes in playoffs would be a guaranteed early exit for LA.

[red1]

celtics are gonna blitz these fools

[Celtics 1825]

LeBron down

[StrongLurk]

Dumbass :facepalm :oldlol:

Rondo has a good game once every 5 games at best. He's one of the worst players in the league otherwise and playing him anywhere close to 30 minutes in playoffs would be a guaranteed early exit for LA.

He's clearly trolling...

[Trollsmasher]

lebron just retore his groin

[dreamshake]

Story of his whole career. It's amazing to me Lebron has any fans. His offensive game is so primitive. If he can't stiff arm his way to the basket or the shooters aren't knocking down his drive and kicks, he's invisible out there. No one looks to mimic him on the playgrounds. It's embarrassing.

[DoctorP]

Bran got the wind knocked out of him

[CelticBaller]

lebron just retore his groin

He got hit in the chest

[StrongLurk]

Dwight and McGee have such low basketball IQ.

[kNIOKAS]

The game's a bit stale.

[Shane]

I’ve got Boston pulling this out.

[Celtics 1825]

Dwight shooting free throws better when he's further away from the line :wtf:

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Again with this dumb, arbitrary rule.

CLEARLY a goaltend. But since it wasn't called on the floor, it cannot be reversed.

[dreamshake]

Celtics need to play Hack a Dwight with their non-rotation players (Wanamaker, Langston, Williams, etc) to get Howard off the floor. Especially now since they're already over the penalty. It's too high an IQ basketball move to not make.

[Indian guy]

I don't know if it was well defended as much as LeBron just isn't quick anymore.

[SamuraiSWISH]

I expect him to late in the 4th.

Dumb to have LeBron on Tatum earlier than that. He'll just get gassed.

No it wouldn’t be dumb. If he was actually a good defender or even competitive. Tatum is thrashing them. It’s not like he doesn’t have another top five player on his team to carry the weight offensively LOL don’t make excuses like your boy

[Celtics 1825]

Jaylen put the clamps on Bran!

[Indian guy]

No it wouldn’t be dumb. If he was actually a good defender or even competitive. Tatum is thrashing them. It’s not like he doesn’t have another top five player on his team to carry the weight offensively LOL don’t make excuses like your boy

You are an idiot. Only a moron would stick a 35 year old with LeBron's offensive responsibility on the opposition's best player for large chunks of the game.

[Celtics 1825]

Jaylen wasn't out of bounds. Horrible call

[StrongLurk]

You are an idiot. Only a moron would stick a 35 year old on the opposition's best player for large chunks of the game.

MJ did it sometimes at 35. Although MJ was a better 1 one 1 defender at 35 than Lebron is. Lebron is too big for that honestly.

[Lebron23]

Dumbass :facepalm :oldlol:

Rondo has a good game once every 5 games at best. He's one of the worst players in the league otherwise and playing him anywhere close to 30 minutes in playoffs would be a guaranteed early exit for LA.

That guy is an idiot.

[Bankaii]

No it wouldn’t be dumb. If he was actually a good defender or even competitive. Tatum is thrashing them. It’s not like he doesn’t have another top five player on his team to carry the weight offensively LOL don’t make excuses like your boy
You have the lowest IQ posts.
I get you hate lebron and it makes you delirious, but try to seem somewhat intelligent.

[StrongLurk]

Celtics have guarded Davis well this game.

Bron has missed a lot of threes short this year.

[Bankaii]

MJ did it sometimes at 35. Although MJ was a better 1 one 1 defender at 35 than Lebron is. Lebron is too big for that honestly.
MJ had 2 years off and came into the league 3-4 years later. The mileage is no where near comparable.
And did Pippen not exist?
The trolls on this forum are boring af.

[Indian guy]

Davis is just not an isolation player.

[dreamshake]

A foul on LeBran James :roll:

[Ghost1]

A foul on LeBran James :roll:


:lol:lol

[Celtics 1825]

Yo wtf is up with Hayward tonight? He keeps throwing really bad passes

[Indian guy]

MJ did it sometimes at 35.

For short bursts? Sure. But definitely not for long periods. He was like the 3rd defensive option on Reggie Miller in the 1998 ECF. And that's with nowhere close to the mileage LeBron has.

[StrongLurk]

MJ had 2 years off and came into the league 3-4 years later. The mileage is no where near comparable.
And did Pippen not exist?
The trolls on this forum are boring af.

MJ was still all-nba D at 35...

Also, Lebron is playing with the DPOY...so I don't know why you are brining up Pippen?

[ImKobe]

A foul on LeBran James :roll:

Refs doing everything to give Boston the win. LeGOAT NEVER fouls. Too high of an IQ.

[Indian guy]

lol that's been LeBron's late-game offense all season. A lot of 3's.....

He really struggles penetrating against a set half-court defense.

[Bankaii]

MJ was still all-nba D at 35...

Also, Lebron is playing with the DPOY...so I don't know why you are brining up Pippen?
Again dumbass, the mileage is comparable regardless of age.

Because rim protectors (AD) have much less effect on pull up shooters like Tatum than help/perimeter defenders (Pippen).

How well has the DPOY been stopping Tatum this game?

[DoctorP]

both teams shootin like crap

[StrongLurk]

Lakers should be embarrassed losing this game.

Lebron needs to come up clutch and not let these young players shit on his team.

[ImKobe]

Clutch assist on the 3 by LeGOAT!

[CelticBaller]

Shit JB just drive

[CelticBaller]

Nvm

[bison]

What’s up with AD? He looks shook in the low post

[StrongLurk]

Again dumbass, the mileage is comparable regardless of age.

The poster I responded to said "Only a moron would stick a 35 year old on the opposition's best player for large chunks of the game."

So Phil Jackson and MJ at 35 were morons?

[Indian guy]

LeBron's gotta make that layup jeez. No way he makes both FTs here.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Lakers missing bunnies around the rim. Would've been a huge AND1 there.

[Ghost1]

LMAO @ LeSkill ISO

[kabar]

How can anyone watch this and say lebron is clutch? His offense is so ugly loool.

[StrongLurk]

Lakers missing bunnies around the rim. Would've been a huge AND1 there.

Celtics have missed a ton of easy layups as well.

[CelticBaller]

Oh wow what a late call

[Celtics 1825]

Brown 20 points, Tatum 41 points. AirTupac where you at?

[ImKobe]

LeCLUTCH

[StrongLurk]

Lebron sucks


Bump

[dreamshake]

Lebron with another missed free throw in the clutch. Lebron is guaranteed to miss 1 of 2 free throws in late game situations. Anti-clutch.

[Celtics 1825]

Off of AD

[StrongLurk]

It's the eye test man. Forget the numbers for a sec. I'm not sure Lebron is a top 5 player in the league and that's WITH Curry and KD not even playing this year.

Out on AD

[Bankaii]

The poster I responded to said "Only a moron would stick a 35 year old on the opposition's best player for large chunks of the game."

So Phil Jackson and MJ at 35 were morons?
I don't know what other language in to get you to understand stand lmao.
You're retarded.

[HylianNightmare]

Lebron

[Indian guy]

Damn, LeBron. Didn't see you making that.

[StrongLurk]

Kang

[Celtics 1825]

Refs plan

[Hittin_Shots]

They do that review into an obviously wrong decision favoring home teams often..

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Nice fadeaway from Bron there. Clutch.


Bump

Good bump bro

[DoctorP]

bran hitting the clutch finally

[LAmbruh]

Leclutch did it again!

[ImKobe]

LeGOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Indian guy]

I know AD's a good FT shooter but wouldn't you rather have a guard shooting these. Either KCP or Bradly is a better option.

[kabar]

KCP pushed Tatum 100%.

[CelticBaller]

These refs suck

[Trollsmasher]

Bron clutching it despite the refs reffing against the Lakers

[Ghost1]

great shot by leclutch

[LAmbruh]

Mister 4th quarter :cheers:

[Tobio-Star]

LeBron not clutch eh? :oldlol:

Don't like fouling that early by the Lakers

[LAmbruh]

:oldlol:

[StrongLurk]

Bump.


7-12 from free throw...game isn't over yet.

Glad Lebron was able to make the fadeway...but he can't suck at free throws like this so often.

[Indian guy]

LA might wanna think about going in a different direction with their late-game go-to FT shooter. Guards are always the better option.

[FireDavidKahn]

LeLeader:bowdown:

[Indian guy]

He didn't even get the shot off in time.

[CelticBaller]

Lmao these refs really want attention

[StrongLurk]

StrongLurk is SEETHING

I'm a Lebron fan...I'm happy that he redeemed himself.

No one can say Lebron is reliable at the free throw line in the clutch

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

StrongLurk is SEETHING

Isn't that poster a Lebron fan? Weirdass dudes on here lol

[Celtics 1825]

https://i.postimg.cc/7ZzP439Z/tenor-3.gif

That was directed to his free throw shooting, which he does suck at.

[LAmbruh]

L’s of Today’s GT


Coach and Stronglurk

[Bankaii]

Are y'all going to cry about AD missing free throws too? Or only when LeBron does it.

[RRR3]

Isn't that poster a Lebron? Weirdass dudes on here.
He is but he whines every time LeBron misses a shot and it gets old.

[Tobio-Star]

LeBron is about to win his 4th ring :bowdown:

[raprap]

Mr. 4th quarter at it again? LeGoat

[Hittin_Shots]

How can you watch that out of bounds replay for 10 minutes that clear as **** shows it coming off AD last then be like **** it lets just ignore that and give Lakers the ball. Shits a joke

[StrongLurk]

Isn't that poster a Lebron? Weirdass dudes on here.

So as a Lebron fan, I can't criticize his shit free throw shooting?

That’s game baby. CLuTCh shot by lebron. Clutch flop by KCPimp. Refs came thru as well. Feels good to beat a GOOD team for once.

[FireDavidKahn]

I win again

wE STAY FEASTING:rockon:

[RRR3]

Different between criticizing him and sobbing like an infant every time he isn’t perfect at age 35.

[TheImmortal]

Celtics are not reliable in grind out games.. Between Gordon Haywards uncanny ability to do bad turnovers, pumpfake at every instance and miss layups at a high level.. Then you have Kemba Walker as we saw in the All-Star game do his best Hayward impressions.. just not ready for the big boys. Celtics coach needs another decade to mature into a championship coach and I think Celtics org will give him all the time in the world.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

So as a Lebron fan, I can't criticize his shit free throw shooting?

Of course you can.

But saying he sucks, repeating that and bumping dumb posts is trolling. You're clearly an attention-seeker.

Because they got fkd over by some home cooking in the last minutes of the game for a close loss to the west best team without their all star PG?

[kabar]

Some garbage ass officiating. Celtics woulda won this if the officials weren't so blatant.

[DoctorP]

i saw similar things but thats how it is with the Lakers

[StrongLurk]

Of course you can.

But saying he sucks, repeating that and bumping dumb posts is trolling. You're clearly an attention-seeker.

It's been a problem his whole career...free throw shooting. It's worth criticizing him because he wants to be GOAT and have GOAT expectations. He can't even shoot 70%...that's trash for GOAT expectations.

[sdot_thadon]

Great game, and a quick question: by Ish standards this qualifies as a game winning shot for Lebron?

[StrongLurk]

Different between criticizing him and sobbing like an infant every time he isn’t perfect at age 35.

This post makes it seem like Lebron was a good free throw shooter at ANY age lol.

[TheImmortal]

Kemba Walker would've added another 10+ pts for LeBron milking crossmatches in the post against midgets™ . They would've lost bad either way. Celtics are "2 years away from being 2 years away".

[Lebron23]

He did it again. Lebron with another game winner.

[Kingwillball]

No production out of green or Bradley both made one shot each..when is Morris available ?

[RRR3]

This post makes it seem like Lebron was a good free throw shooter at ANY age lol.
He shot 78% in 2009 which is solid. Between 75-78% every year from 09-14. Not sure why he got worse.

[Lebron23]

Great game, and a quick question: by Ish standards this qualifies as a game winning shot for Lebron?

Not by the haters who always critisize his play.

[Lebron23]

No production out of green or Bradley both made one shot each..when is Morris available ?

Next game. He just cleared the waivers.

[Hittin_Shots]

Kemba Walker would've added another 10+ pts for LeBron milking crossmatches in the post against midgets™ . They would've lost bad either way. Celtics are "2 years away from being 2 years away".

Oh definitely, we saw that last time they played with Kemba and Boston were beaten by -32. Your takes keep getting worse.

[Lebron23]

Lol. Great game by Tatum. Kinda reminded me of a young Paul Pierce in the early 2000's.

I'm not talking about freethrows. And in one of those dumb "bump" posts, neither were you.

[kabar]

https://i.imgur.com/6YhjPvs.png
Home cooking started at this point. So. Blatant.

[Lebron23]

Celtics are the team that are capable of stopping Giannis from winning multiple titles.

[Replay32]

Great win. It was nice to see Rondo have an impact on defense for once. That's 5 in a row!! Hopefully the Lakers can keep it going.

This is a bigger reach than MJ's game winning dunk in Space Jam

[Derka]

I don't believe there's such a thing as a "good loss" but we were in it 'til the end and Lebron had to make a hero shot to beat us without our All-Star point guard.

Not interested in beefing over the refs; they've been horrible for years and will continue to be horrible because the NBA quite simply doesn't give a f*ck about how good the refs are.

[AirTupac]

Are Celtics fans the dumbest fans or what? That game was rigged for Boston SO HARD and they STILL lost. Boston fans dont even understand basic rules. You cant overturn a call without enough evidence. One angle showed his pinkie on the ball, the other angles showed it off Celtics. They are NEVER going to overturn that.

What about the missed goaltend call that became Celtics ball?
What about Danny going out of bounds even though HE WASNT

I can list 20 more calls that went in favor of the Celtics but these braindead idiots are complaining about 2 calls and saying LOL LAKERS got lucky. Stfu you stupid losers. Eat that L

Why would I waste 10 minutes going through the logs to find out what calls were blatantly wrong just for you morons to say otherwise. You lost despite refs on your side. HILARIOUS. Cry more idiots.
