MY NOTE:  I haven't read these yet, I'm writing this before going through them, but I think there's going to be a alot of screaming about the refs.  That's fair to some extent, they did blow that call on LeBron for example, but what I bet they're going to forget is that the Lakers struggled against us and we were not only down two starters, we were down our top two defenders.  What they'll forget is that they were up 7 with 7 left and they couldn't hold the lead.  What they'll forget is that the Lakers only shot 4-10 from the field and only 2-4 from the line in those final 7 minutes of regulations and that doesn't include LeBron's fga at the buzzer!  During that same 7 minutes the Celtics shot 7-14 from the field (so MORE fgm and MORE fgas), and went 3-3 from the line (MORE ftm but fewer ftas).  If either LeBron or Patrick Beverly gone 2-2 from the line instead of 1-2 they would have won the game in regulation without the LeBron no-call.  And, of course, they had every opportunity to win in OT because we were still down 2 starters and Joe was only really going 6 deep.


Seems Marcus Smart will be out for this one - an obvious point in our favor ... some pregame 'manna from heaven' perhaps?

Boston has lost their last three games. We’re going to have to play near perfect and pray to several deities in order to pull this W off. Let’s get it!

Final score    Lakers 257    Celtics 4

This would just about make up for the clipper loss

LBJ about to be first player to score 159 points in a single game

If we win this game, we will win the championship. If we lose this game, Naulins get Wemba!

This game is the difference between giving us that confidence boost or getting down on ourselves by losing to the Green b***ards

SG.Jaylen Brown 6"7 vs Beverly 6"1   This has to be the game Beverly gets benched.  (MY NOTE:  SG Jaylen Brown 6'7" with 37 points on efficient shooting.  This guy nailed it)

This is a must win.. for the season guys, suck it up and win...    Love Clam Chowder/ Hate the Celtics...

LeBron could pass Kareem tonight with a 158 point performance

He jacks enough 3’s. He has a chance.

If we have a try-hard game, we win. If we have an undisciplined, nonchalant game, we get mopped.

one of those few important regular season games that could define a team's identity moving forward.

Celtics jumped up from 5 to 8 point favorites. Anyone know why?

Was Smart activated?

Celtics technically have the advantage. Solid team, been with each other for years and solid roster construction.

Celtics are better overall, have to be honest. With that said, the Lakers with AD and now Rui have a fighting chance just like last time.

Good morning to everyone except Russ, Celtics, Celtics fans, Suns, suns fans, clippers, clippers fans, kings, and kings fans

Celtics center Robert Williams III (left ankle sprain) will be out vs. the Lakers tonight

We have ad and bron. We should win.  (MY NOTE:  Exactly.  Don't blame the refs for one call when you had 53 minutes minus a few seconds to win)

The Celtics just lost to the Knicks, there’s no reason the Lakers shouldn’t beat them too.

Take away their elite rim protector but slot in another elite 3 pt shooter.

That's helpful quite frankly lol

Huge W today boys

Time for AD to feast.

If Ham puts Pat Bev on Tatum, I’m going to order a hit on that mo fo.

I saw for the Smeltics that Marcus Smart, Robert Williams III, and Danilo Gallinari are out. This could be a prime Win for the LakeShow!

Our second unit is gonna feast .

Ham’s philosophy with Russ: play him 30 minutes when he’s good, and play him 36 minutes when he’s bad

GET SOME SIZE GOING THEYRE MISSING ROB WILLIAMS

Prediction: Ham is gonna play Brick with LeBron and AD in closing time again. The Celtics will put their center on him and sag off hard, again. And our offense will completely stall. Again.

Just hope Boston doesn’t go stupid from three like the last time

Not gonna say this is a must win due to the celtics injuries since they are still a really good team without Smart and Rob but with them missing this should allow us to have a decent chance at winning

Ham's game plan tonight: If the 3 guard lineup isn't working, go with 4.

Midget lineup to start the game

we hit our first 3 and we think we're the Warriors....

3 minutes in and pat bev taken 3 threes. Two of them not even in the same universe of going in.

if we can just lock down J.Brown we have a good chance tonight.

This lineup is so trash. Way too small. Only survived early because Celtics have played bad

Darvin write up some plays.   Boston wants us to shoot nothing but 3s


Please Celtics keep missing

Jalen Brown bricking

lakers new names gonna be the redcoats after this boston massacre

patbev on tatum pain

Please please, just please get Westbrook and Beverly off this team for literally anyone available.

I have an irrational hate for all Celtic players

We’re really depending on LeBron 3s to stay afloat.

derrick white needs to let his hair go, dude's hairline starts at the top of his head

Westbrook killing momentum

What momentum. They look terrible.

We really just got a black version of Vogel as out coach.

Such a dumba** coach but inspiring im gonna start applying to jobs im clearly not qualified for


There is far too much ball watching with this pathetic lineup. They literally dribble 14 seconds off the shot clock before settling on an iso. Wth is that?

It’s crazy how Tatum and brown can’t guard a 38 yo bron off the dribble. Bron is crazy

Love how great Lebron plays against Boston

The lakers are playing 4v6 when russ is on the court

3 guards again… we won’t win with Ham as our coach



Ham is a moron. I might hate him more than Pelinka. Pelinka is better for memes.


brick by brick. Lakrs suck

Why is westbrook even playing man.

westbrook with a nice impact so far...for the Celtics

Please send westbrook home to go focus on his fashion line or sleep idc. He’s a net negative on the court

I’ve never hated a stupid motherf***er more than I hate Westbrick

Russ trying to sabotage the team before leaving

They are actually guarding Russ with Kornet and Russ can’t take advantage lmao

Bonehead Russ not passing it to AD with Kornet on the floor

People are in for a surprise with Rui     Washington was wasting his allstar talents

Got the star from China for some second round picks and Kendrick Nunn beautiful

Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. Rui is from Japan

Brown gonna be our worse enemy if we can’t contain him. Tatum been buns early

Indiana really gave up brogdon for a bag of peanuts

Russ needs to spend time with Ben Simmons.  Russ will make Ben mentally strong with his deflection mechanisms and Ben will help Russ shoot less


I’ll rather mop the ocean than watch another year of Westbrook

Am not digging on Westbrick and Beverly.

I’m just imagining Joe Mazzulla and the guys sitting in the film room planning all the ways they can leave Brick open for jump shots

AD get your a** to the bench bruh stop grabbing that leg

NEVER HAVE I EVER HATED A PLAYER EVER THAN WESTBROOK AND IVE SEEN THIS SPORT FOR A LONG TIME.

6MOTY duel    Brogdon 7 points 2-3 0 turnovers in 7 minutes played      Brick: 0 points 0-5 3 turnovers in 8 minutes played


47 mil guy getting outplayed by a 3rd string Center lol.

How come they can make open 3s but we can’t

Playing Beverly and Russ at the same time should be some sort of crime

Pat Bev guarding Tatum is a fire able offense

Ladies and gentleman I introduce Darvin Ham. Clueless coach of the year.

These teams will meet in the finals.

This whole team revolves around helping Westbrook stay in the league after this contract. Everything is done to make him look like a credible NBA player.

Tatum trying to 8-24 for Kobe

Is it me or are the new Celtics uni hideous

Can’t touch the jaylens

I don't care who it is. Get Westbrook off this team and we are contenders

Shutting them down by giving them wide open looks from 3

Tatum and Brown getting every whistle. Refs rigging this

schroder is a bucket

Grant Williams the type of dude to look like a nice piece playing against the Lakers but you absolutely know he’d be a black hole and a shell of himself if he came to play in LA

Wtf is going on with Tatum

Tatum is conflicted. Showing in his play. Coming to the game wearing Kobe. Just stop pretending and switch locker rooms Jayson.

Troy Bum Jr. is the worst player on this team

The highest paid player on our roster is a -4 and we still have the lead.

Controlling this game easily and the Lakers haven’t even been hot from the field yet.

Let’s go refs keep whistling for us

Lakers are winning the championship

For how much Russ offense sucks dude been playing lock down d on tatum and brown

Horford always acting like he scared of the ball after the FT

No way we finally have the refs on our side   (MY NOTE:  Remember this moment.  You thought the reffing was positive for you)

No excuse for Boston not to be up right now when Westbrook is actively being a terrorist to his own team

We gotta turn it around in 2nd half. We can’t expect Celtics to shoot like garbage all game

Fun fact: that little bump on Darvin Ham's head is actually the compartment where his entire brain is stored

Tatum struggled the first half last game & dominated the second, we have to stay on the gas

Why do I feel like Boston is gonna go on a 29-6 run next quarter

Because ham is gonna leave westbrook on the floor with dennis and pat again

The Lakers are the superior franchise to the Celtics. The statistics prove it.

lebron stays cooking the jays and horford.

The Celtics coach is a super serious coach lol

Can we trade for a new coach?

for a 3&D player TBJ has no D.. he** even the 3

Bro ad looks like garbage again

the level of disrespect refs have for lebron makes no sense to me. almost every superstar gets more calls than him.

Refs letting Celtics hack them and calling every soft contact a foul against us

Celtics defense is really well adjusted

All Tatum and Brown do is b**ch after every play. Such unlikable players

I swear Tatum and Brown get bailed out by the whistle so often



Lol Bron could be shooting .5% from the 3. His hate for Boston will always outweigh that


Tatum getting clamped by a guy 7 inches shorter than him. Better than LeBron?

Laker Jerseys in Boston ooof

Tatum 2-10 fg and 0-4 from 3. Kobe put a curse on this man for disrespecting him with that shirt.

everything going wrong for tatum

Tatum is a bum

Shoutout to those Lakers fans at TD Garden. You know they're getting sh** for it and they don't care.

Refs helping Boston so much

Please dont make Tatum heat up

Westbrook "His Highness of Minus" is in. Lets see where our 10 point lead goes.

Ham worst coach in the league man wtf

Jason “turnover” in the building tonight

What a Joke this coach is putting Lonnie on Tatum please resign after this game

Tatum would be a role player in the 2000s grind out ball. He gets bailed out by those soft a** fouls.

Refs cut the lead to 3

Westbrook for pacers towel boy and a 2nd rounder

Russ being guarded by a 75lb 7 footer is all you need to know. Shouldn’t be playing on a team trying to make the playoffs

Ham vs Westbrook for lowest bball IQ. Nobody wins.

Why can’t Russ get foul calls like Tatum lol

Leave it to Ham to blow a lead sees the opponent go on a run and he turns into Stevie Wonder

Lmao any shooter coming to lakers turns to a brick layer. Unbelievable.

It's time to foul out Jaylen Brown

It’s a failure if they don’t foul out Jaylen Brown here

Tatum is gassed. Keep hounding him!!

Why are we not doubling Tatum?? Celtics are doubling Bron every time and yet we allow Tatum to go 1 on 1 against midgets. Ham is a stupid coach.

D***it Bron, stop being lazy and take it to the hole...or let someone else touch the ball.

How come can Brown score over Schroder?!  (MY NOTE:  Because he's 6" taller and much stronger maybe?)

Tatum having the same amount of FTs as us is a crime

Rui did the Kornet contest

Those missed threes should count as kornet blocks

Lebron hates the Celtics, I love it

Lil sh** Tatum always trynna draw fouls

Everytime mark Jackson speaks I get dumber

Tatum played the entire 3rd and the whole 4th so far. he's exhausted out there and will probably need to sit soon

Celtics need to sub in their star player Westbrook

Tatum you ain't that guy pal you can wear kobe apparel but you'll never be a fraction of the player.

Tatum tryna shoot 8-24 to honor Kobe   (MY NOTE:  Even Laker fans know that sometimes he was KoME)

we’re letting jaylen do whatever?

jaylen reminds me of wade a bit

Attack Brown and get that man outta the game

James recruiting Tatum I’m down

The only reason to put Westbrook in is to drive iso on Brown until he fouls out. Pure bowling ball mode

celtics cheerleaders might be better than lakers im not gonna lie..

Tatum getting superstar calls. Man they're really pushing him to become the next face of the league.

Tatum gets little boy fouls man I hate him. They treat him like a f***ing Make-a-Wish kid every time we play

Hard to beat a team when the refs don’t want u to win

This is the ref version of police brutality.

Lebron isn't doing sh** and AD isn't doing sh**

The refs will do anything to make the Celtics win huh?

No way NBA isn't rigged

Refs want the Celtics to win so bad.

Tatum is 7-23 and still getting bailed out by foul calls.   (MY NOTE:  How well a player shoots and whether the defense fouls aren't related)

Keep blaming the refs and Russ . The cause of both high losses and high cholesterol. Ham !

Refs salivating at the chance to help the Celtic

Refs will win this game for the celtics.

No worries we’ll get an official report tomorrow saying refs made a bunch of bad calls against the Lakers. It’s all good

BEV IS A DOG, PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS.

D**n Brogdon. I liked him better on The Office.

F*** the Pacers for giving away Brogdon.

PATRICK BEVERLEY IS THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER

Of course they call it for them. Refs really letting them back into this game is garbage. What happens to no iffy calls?

Investigate this refs!! Honestly!!!

Bev is a bum for missing that ft then fouling

Of course the Celtics get everything called for them

POST THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF THE REFS

I actually don’t wanna watch nba anymore if it’s like this.

The game is on the line down the stretch, the Lakers aren't smart enough to win this game.

Brogdon is such a smart, steady, and fundamentally sound player... What a luxury for the Celtics to have him off the bench.

We could have had him him. But....picks

THe Lakers tried to make an offer for Brogdon. The deal was not good because they wanted the Pacers to take on Russ. Who is a walking Brick

F*** the pacers. Traded him to the celdicks for a bag of chips.

thats not bad reffing, that's cheating, all those calls, make-up call on AD over the back, that jump ball on Horford's side. I don't even care if we lose, f***ing cheaters, win this game bums. Cant beat cheaters.

Hold refs accountable.  refs working with mafia to make money

Lebron should get the ref that missed that call fired. That is one of the most obvious and egregious fouls I've ever seen.

I would pay to see Patrick Beverly beat the sh** out of a ref

everyone in that d**n crowd looks disgusting

Good Westbrook. KILL grant williams. I hate that hobo

Find you someone who loves you as much as Mark Jackson loves Westbrook

Russ playing hard man I respect that

i dont even care about this game anymore, the fbi must investigate these refs

Flagrant should be called merely as a make up

AD getting spanked by Brogdon of all people.

Lol another weak a** call for Jaylen to all but ensure a Celtics victory

Gonna lose because of the refs AGAIN

We will never be a championship contender let alone a playoff contender if Westbrook remains on our team.

Between this and the Memphis Grizzlies official scoring fiasco, NBA has a real problem on their hands. Lebron's whistle in LA has been shockingly bad, makes one think about the amount of betting that Lakers games get.

Y’all blaming Russ but I had no idea AD was even playing tonight

I have never hated a played more than Westbrook.

3 hours of my life that I will never have again

Refs actually robbed us of another game

This game has an asterisk. Congratulations Lakers on winning this one Everyone can see the truth

The refs literally had Lebron on the ground crying like it was the 2016 finals

Nice ASTERISK win, Celtics. Must be nice to have the refs in your back pocket.

Westbrook is walking through the tunnel laughing bro. This dude has to go.

Congrats to the refs for winning the game.

Russ laughing after the game going back to the locker room was %%%%%—-. F him

Tonight he gets a pass because of the conspiracy against the Lakers. But he was easily the worst player on the team tonight.

If Brown had been refed like LBJ did, he would not have scored 10 tonight.

Looks like the folks at the head office in NYC want Boston to get #18 before the Lakers the way the officiating has been this season.

I would like to see the Lakers FO send a video of the reffing to the NBA office and protest their terrible officiating. They have cost the Lakers a number of games now.

AD is sofT. He has no dog in him, he basically watched the OT

That was the most depressing game I've ever watched

This is really disgusting. The league really want us to fail. They "saw" an unexistent phantom foul to Tatum that we have to waste our challenge and "miss" the foul on Lebron for the game.

I might be in the minority but I actually applaud the NBA for hiring referees that are disabled via visually impaired. 3 refs didn't see the face of the NBA getting hit across the arm, while in the air, at the end of a game. Thank God for that transparent 2 minute report that shows how objective they are.


Bob
MY NOTE:  Nobody mentioned the missed fritos in regulation that would have won it for them.

.

Surprisingly so many Kobe references, they all know he was a chucker and went 8-24 in that game 7. Brutal and I thought sometimes we go overboard….
