Anyone have any clue wtf the Lakers have been doing the last few minutes

Locker room problems for sure

VICTORY HAS NEVER TASTED SO SWEET (well since 2008)



The fact we probably deserved to lose it regulation due to an officiating blunder makes it all the satisfying, all the more purr in my Lakers hatred.

Jaylen Brown saved and won the game for us, although Tatum brought us back from the brink



I am just imaging the bitterness from non Celtics fans too and I couldn't be more delighted lol

Can't wait for Bill Simmons next podcast.

Best belated birthday present ever



The NBA is and forever shall be ruled by Celtic Green !

Oh man i am dying here lol

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Ham being a dud coach maybe ?

Doubt they lose that game under Vogel.

Am I correct in saying even if the lakers had a challenge they wouldn’t be able to use it becuase it was a no call? I feel like I remember cavs vs Orlando 2 years ago having that

NBA has a few rules to adjust

Correct

 

[QuietB]

That non call on LeBron at the end of regulation is probably the worst call I have ever seen

It was like the other day when Nick Nurse incorrectly used a challenge on a contentious jump ball decision v the Celtics.

 

[nahnah]

Correct

They really don’t think out these rules. Like the flagrant on close outs, now you have Jordan Clarkson stepping back for a 3 then randomly launching forward to get the call and it end up being a flagrant for him

Dude the Sacramento Kings of the 2001 Western Conference finals want your 'hottake' back

That Cigar Red smoked has never tasted so good all season !

I’d be pissed off if I didn’t know that the Celtics will choke in the finals again anyway

Blazers man

Skip's a clown but he is right on the money here 100 %

Jaylen totally redeemed himself from the Knicks loss with his clutch play in the 4th Quarter and O/T

Real guts and mental strength from JB.

 

[fidstar]

Yeah forgot teams aren't allowed to have bad patches.

So what's going on with the dubs then?

I'm not sitting here constantly saying that everyone is competing for second place in my conference.

East is wide open, but Boston fans don't seem to think so.

Not me, Philly and Embiid worry me greatly.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

This has somewhat gone under the radar.

If Kawhi (and sadly probably not due to health/injury issues) can keep producing this type of production for the rest of the season, the Clips can make some noise in the playoffs

You could pretty much commit murder in the last play of an NBA game and get away with it.

If you are allowed to hack the s**t out of any drive little wonder 90% of game winners they just chuck 3’s

I saw on at least five occasions during today's game (and others all year) about Tatum being blatantly fouled/hacked during the game and refs swallowed their whistle.

If you look at the game objectively without Purple and Piss glasses on, you would have observes Tatum was deprived of at least 5 legit trips to the f/t line

And yes I admit Tatum was very lucky at the end getting away with hacking Lebron, but if you look at the tapestry and context over the entire game, Boston and Tatum should have gone to the f/t line more often.

That’s cute that you think we’ll make it back there again this year. Way too inconsistent.

Think Brad will make some moves before the deadline.

Philly are the favourites to win the East from my own perspective Rn..

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Showed it to the wrong ref

Needed him to take a photo of the ref whilst he was there.

The back rubs will make it better

Yeah Philly are looking scary, especially with Maxey off the bench.

Harden is unreliable too though. This year is so wide open

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Home court advantage is going to be crucial though (although for some reason the Celtics had more success away than on home court during last year's playoffs)

 

[scaryness]

Blazers man

We need a damn bench, and maybe a Simons trade for a new starter. Simons and Lillard is repeating history with CJ and Lillard.
