Game Thread: Celtics At Lakers, 10:30 PM ET, February 21, 2014

[Brahmsian]

My Celtics come in 19-36, only 5 games out of a playoff spot, 15-17 in conference, 4-6 on the road.

Lakers are 18-36, 17 games behind their Doc Rivers coached cross-town rival Clippers clap, 24 games behind my native city's Thunder in the conference clap, 8-17 at home.

No guarantee, but I think I've got a very good chance of winning some vCash on this one.

GO CELTICS!

Its a sad day when I cannot get up for a Lakers Celtics game. Maybe it is good to see how Sully and Kelly do against the Lakers big men (lack there of)

 

[BobGnarly]

As a Californian, it's easy for me to get excited for these games every year.
GO CELTICS!

going for a sweep against you guys would normally be a great thing, but it's obviously a down year for both teams. still...

Go Lakers...!!

 

[lakersrule]

Nice spin on the almost equivalent records Brahm!


Come on Logic. It's still Lakers vs. Celtics. I'm still up for it regardless of their records. Looking forward to watching R. Kelly light you fools up!

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Not sure of rest if NBA late schedule, but it might be a good night to catch up on sleep.

Go Lakers though... Need them in Pick Em Thread

 

[LogicMan]

Rule the problem is I just dont know if I want the Green to win or tank.

I actually thing the top 6 slots are fairly even but after that there is a talent drop until the next phase around 15.

I prefer the top 6, I really hate myself

Bob, a Californian? IN LA? I hear BTW there is a great Boston sports bar in Malibu. Is that true?

 

[BobGnarly]

Yes, indeed Californian. Inland empire though, north-east of LA. It'd be awesome to find a Celtic bar out here, doubt it though

No, we burned it down.

 

[The Derski]

Go Celtics

 

[LogicMan]

Bob, I just found the Boston Bar in Malibu. I had heard that this bar is a wicked pissa to hand out in. I plan to get there some day and have a beer with Matt Damon.

Are you ready to watch Jared Sullinger work the boards like someone with years more NBA experience than he actually has?

Are you ready to watch Gerald Wallace display hustle all over the court?

Has any Laker suffered an ACL tear like Rondo did last season and come back from that potentially
career-ending injury anywhere near as quickly as Rajon has?

I doubt all of the above, especially the last.

GO CELTICS!

 

[RobToxin]

I don't know when it was the last time both teams were this bad.

A combined 35 games below .500.

Just.....wow!

 

[Brahmsian]

Celtics finish what is usually their worst quarter with a 9 point lead.
Celtic fans have to love that!

I think it's safe to assume Clipper fans like that development more than Laker fans do!

Long way to go but a good start for my team.

GO CELTICS!!!

BLEEP TANKING!

Drafting smarter than the competition is the Celtic tradition, not worrying about lottery picks!

 

[Brahmsian]

Celtics have 10 1st round picks in the next 10 years. Why worry if they'll have a lottery pick this year?

Odds are Ainge will find someone who should have gone before our turn in at least 1 of those years. AT LEAST one of them.

 

[Black Adam]

well, it got closer before the half...

2nd half to go...

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Go Celtics

I hate you AZ lol. Just wait until baseball season arrives.

 

[Brahmsian]

4 first half rebounds for Rajon Rondo, the shortest guy on either team, 5 assists an ZERO TOs.

And some Celtics fans wanted to trade him?

BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA!
