Please point where I said I was happy? Just said the season isn't over because it like.....isn't.

 

[DJ Fieri]

BKS doesn't like when others put words in his mouth.....but does it all the time.

Hypocritical much? LOL.

 

[Gman]

Yep.

RW played great, if they can get James and AD (not saying was perfect last night, just not the reason they lost) on the same page.....they could be a scary team to face. Especially, if Vogel gets his head out of his ass.

Keep hope alive, Deej.

 

[bksballer89]

I would be livid as a lakers fan. I watched that entire the 4th. The game was there for them if they do some of the little things correctly

Um, if anybody should understand it'd be a Celtics fan.....no?

Weren't they underperforming until a winning streak? Talking before the trade deadline.

I agree.

Celtics actually play defense though

 

[bksballer89]

I agree.

Blaming solely lebron when he is the only reason this sorry ass team isn't down there with the spurs and kings is crazy. He is allowed to have a bad game or 2 every once in a while at his advanced age

I don't think it's an apples-to-apples comparison... Lakers had legit title hopes at the beginning of the season, the Celtics did not.

At this point, both are kinda playoff spoilers more than anything... and I like the Celtics chances better in that regard.

Celtics may fuck around and end up in a series vs Cleveland which i like their chances in

The Lakers are inconsistent. Both Portland games, the Nets, the Sixers, the Jazz, the Magic. In the last 14 games. They just need to be more consistent.

It's not like we never play defense.

He could have tied the game and sent it to OT. He actually had a horrible 4th quarter. Which is unlike him.

He was 1 of 8 from the field with 3 TO's.....not to mention his FT struggles. But, he didn't lose the game for them.

Wait a minute. If the Celtics are underperforming what does that make the Lakers? They were a preseason favorite to get to the Finals. The Celtics weren't.

Of course he does. But that doesn't change the fact that last nights loss was mainly on him. All it really does is exempt him from being booed or benched. I'd bet that Lebron would agree. He's a clutch player, he just wasn't last night. Nothing wrong with pointing that out.

He missed enough layups and free throws late for them to have won. Not 100% on him...but he gets the lions share of the blame.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Celtics have turned their season around by winning 9 of their last 10 games so that their season isn't OVER. Didn't think I'd have to spell it out for people. That's all it would take for the Lakers.

People just don't seem to get it.

1 of 8 and 3 TO's in 4th? Super bad.

I would like the C's chances against a Chicago too. Not that they would automatically win or anything like that... just that it's a good match-up for us.

Against Milwaukee or Miami... Boston would be an underdog, but have a punchers chance.

A full strength Brooklyn team would be a very tough match-up, though... same with Philly and having to defend Embiid.

I think both Toronto and Boston can spoil a first-round opponent... because we both play defense and both can field interesting, versatile line-ups that can be problematic for opponents.

So do the Lakers, but as an old team, they have to pick and choose when they do it. They can't play tough D all game, every game.

Problem with that is that sometimes an opponent can get rolling to where, when they step up the defense, it doesn't work as well.

I listed the games, 6 of the last 14 they have played well on defense.

They need to be more inconsistent and will have to do it every game once we win the play-in game and the real playoffs start.
