I think so ?


I'll have to check with WiggyRuss

I have trouble remembering since I spent a week in the hospital for a concussion

Three !

C's taking the paddle to the Lakers so far... hope they keep their foot on the gas.

 

[Gman]

Damn, now Tatum injured for the C's...

Lakers doing better than i thought they would...

Yeah, Lakers are competing... C's are dropping like flies, though.

C's are now missing 3 of their top players.

I just missed the 80's (born in 89), so I grew up and became a fan in the 90's and the rivalry was pretty much dead so I didn't give a damn about the Celtics. I still didn't like them, but my first HATE of the Celtics came in 2008.

Yeah, both teams were down a bit for a good chunk of the 90's. Took the Celtics a little longer to climb back up, so the rivalry lost some of it's luster.

 

[Gman]

C's continue to impress... key guys out, offense in disarray at times... but win again with defense and effort.

Fun rooting them on this year.

Not a terrible loss by the Lakers. I'm glad they had enough fight in them to keep it interesting till relatively close to the end.

At the end of the day, they're not in the tier the Celtics are right now, but they're certainly making their way out of the bottom of the pack.

Other than the opener against the Clippers and the game against Utah, they've been delivering exactly what Magic promised - fun basketball.

Truth is, they may not be far off a .500 season.

I'd probably settle for @Mecca and @LAD on an island......not saying they are whores......this would just sub nicely.

Warriors really locked in now. They may not go 16-1 in the playoffs again, because the West is improved, but damn that team is better than the one last year (better bench)

Swaggy had his best game as a Warrior

Shouldn't @DorianRo be posting again about how the Warriors won't make the Finals?

It's impressive how they were still able to win without Horford and Tatum. I mean I know this Lakers team isn't a that good of a team but we should have won with those guys out. It's approaching Spurs level stuff now with Boston; plug and play. No matter the players, the result is the same.

I really hope they come out of the East this year. So done with Cavs Warriors

Trying to decide if you should be flattered or offended? lol

Congrats to the Celtics. Fun game.

It was good to see the Lakers fight back from down 21 to get back into the game. This is something they'll learn from.

Good for the C's to be able to hold off the Lakers rally and win despite being without Horford and Tatum. The Lakers had the momentum and the Celtics had an excuse to let the game go...they didn't. That will serve them well in the playoffs.

Possible they won't miss Hayward as bad as we all thought?

Congrats Celtics? You don't mean that! Take it back right now.

Yeah, you're right.

Fuck the Celtics.

Feel better now? lol
