Kings need some home cooking tonight. Feels like a very winnable game.

The defensive strategy of this team is so frustrating. Expecting an L, which traditionally means they overperform.

Make me forget about yesterday’s trash performance.

Best part of last night. Laker fans are just in absolute shambles over everything related to the Kings.

Actually I can imagine hating the Lakers so much that I would be willing to throw a game drop from second to third just to laugh at them sitting at home during the play in tournament.

Friends, there's a LOT of green in here

They didn't get the memo that St. Patrick's Day is over.

I mean, I'm not complaining, but why is Paul Pierce on our broadcast? He's got no connection with the franchise other than we passed on him to draft JWill. It's just kind of random.

I'm scared

Guess who lost to the Jazz in their last game Celtics. The Celtics also lost to the Rockets a week ago (on this roadtrip). This is a beatable team.

Whole lotta Celtics fans here tonight

They’re playing all their starters and we’re at a rest disadvantage. We’re gonna win this one and Keegan will just go ahead and break the rookie 3pt record tonight.

NBA Finals preview

Anyone remember last year’s Celtics game didn’t their fans start chanting towards the end?!? Anyways Its our turn this year

Aint no way we get Scott Foster into Marc Davis B2B

Way too many Celtics fans in the building smh

This Celtics team is worthless as dog spit. I’m confident!

COTY Battle tonight

The tattoo on Jason Tatum's left shoulder looks like the tower bridge.

I know there's always tons of lakers and warrior fans when they come to Sacramento, but this seems like way more Celtics fans than usual

that graphic about Robert Williams pretty impressive

What sicko wore a Lakers jersey to this game gross

Bro Sabonis getting the no calls already

Yo I'm excited for this 2023 Finals match up

Future Sacramento king jaylen brown

How did they not call that Tatum push on Sabonis

Sabonis getting pushed, no call. Breathing on Tatum twice, two fouls

Sabonis not gonna be outshone by Tatum tonight lol

Celts can't handle Domas physicality. He's a perfect answer to all their switching. They're gonna need to get Bob Williams in there.

I'd be surprised if either tatum or brown doesn't score 40+ this game

Tatum should already have two fouls on him.

I can already tell the refs are gonna be clowning tonight

Horford’s shot looks like he’s launching a trebuchet (I LOVE that he knows what a "trebuchet" is. My type of guy)

Celtics don’t run plays, it’s just iso

Horford would be a great backup center for us. Feel like Celtics barely use his playmaking anymore

Boston bricking everything rn. That's not going to last

We need to capitalize this period when the Celtics are falling in love with the 3 and missing them.

Their Center Williams looks like Big Baby Glenn Davis a little (MY NOTE: Must be talking about Grant)

Celtics doing a good job of anticipating domas kicking the ball out to shooters

At the game and refs are already babying the Celtics half way through the first.

Brown got away with two loose ball fouls on the previous possession.

Marcus Smart front rims a 5 footer, skies to grab his own rebound, then promptly buries another 5 footer into the front of the rim. It's a good thing he's a wizard on defense.

Conspiracy alert. The only reason some teams, the Celtics for example have good defense is because the refs for whatever reason allow them to play more physical.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Sabonis got pedigreed, rock bottomed, stone cold stunnered, last ride, sweet chin musicd while in the paint and still not getting a call

Refs on the f***ing take

Waiting for kings to get a normal whistle

Monk gets slapped and nothing, Tatum brushed and foul calls

Brogdon looks like a time traveler

How do you miss that rebound. Three guys. Smart just grabs it. Smh

If the Kings made that kind of contact on a three point shooter, there would have been two ejections, a flagrant 2 and somehow a clear path.

does Tatum ever take a break?

I hate Grant Williams

Where did these C’s fan come from?

Too many Celtics fans in the building.

What bums sold their tickets to Celtics fans what clowns

Way too many celtics fans

If JB came to Sacramento we’re instant title contenders, talk about unstoppable

Boston just does the little things. Doesn’t hurt when Brown can bury a three with an hand in the face

Boston are shooting 42/30/57, and we're tied. Not a good omen

"He missed! Must be a foul!!"

Robert Williams just got the softest call

Boston are preventing Fox getting to the rim better than any team I've seen

Tatum flopping like a fish out of water

I do not like watching Tatum. How are you one of the most built and skilled dudes on the floor and you’re always on the ground and/or whining

Celtics fans at the game trying to start a “Let’s go Celtics” chant

Where tf did all these Celtics fans come from? They change their jersey because the Lakers are struggling? lmao

Lmao yeah Kess did smack the back of Tatum’s head there. I think the refs just get sick of his constant b**ching

They've put Jaylen Brown on both Mitchell and Sabonis tonight Monte please sign this man in 2024.


Can’t be having the Celtics lose, let’s call 2 bullsh** offensive fouls to save their a**es

The whistle for Boston is not the same whistle the Kings get

Tatum has just that little bit extra that makes him special

So Smart gets run into from the side, but he falls straight backward? Makes sense.

Tatums looking for a call every time

I think one of the refs related to Tony brothers…

I hate it, but that’s a smart play from..Smart.

Refs gotta be on the Lakers payroll

So Tatum complains about getting hit in the head, then they get 4 straight calls.

Smart flopped on 2 consecutive plays and the refs bought both lmfao

The Celtics flop A LOT

Celtics fans proud of their players getting calls like that lol. They think it's skillful, pretty funny

I’d really like the C’s if they didn’t flop all over the place. Just gross that the refs reward that BS.

refs decided we weren't winning tonight.

Boston under Mazzula is like Rockets under D'Antoni jacking up 3s. No way they can win it all with this style. (MY NOTE: Not a fan of the style but GSW is a dynasty precisely because Steve Kerr is a disciple of Mike D'Antoni)

I’m stuck having to listen to the Celtics broadcast here in Boston. You’ll be shocked to hear they approved of all of those foul calls.

Why even play games if refs are just going to fix the outcome?

Refs did a great job of changing the momentum to end the half. Still can easily see us winning this. Boston isn’t that impressive.

What happened to the good ol Rip Hamilton plastic mask? What’s this Batman and Robin stuff Brown and Rudy are rocking?

I get that Paul Pierce is a big name and the Celtics in town….but I don’t like seeing him on our halftime team wtfish

Lower bowl fans needed to throw popcorn at the refs when they went through the tunnel

Oh lord I just realized Eddie House is one of the Celtics play by play guys.

Man the vibe at the game is a bummer right now. So many Celtics fans quietly standing about and Kings fans looking right pi**ed for valid reasons

Challenging the one correct call. Why

Would be really funny if Marcus smart got injured flopping

Imagine being Joe Mazzula… dude is the modern day Warriors Luke Walton

We’ve allowed the C’s regression to completely un-regress

CAN THE CELTICS JUST STOP SCORING 3S?

Watching Marcus Smart—who’s been awful this season—lace 3 after 3 hurts my soul

Refs won't call ANYTHING against the Celtics. This is a joke

They're getting every call and still complaining. Wow

Thank god Tatum can't make his free throws

Tatums the biggest foul baiter ive seen

Tatum the foul whisperer

Hilarious that Tatum meanmugs the refs AFTER they give him a call

Marcus Smart with the veteran wit taking Keegan for a trip.

We are getting a preview of how the refs will treat us in the playoffs

Can these players stop playing for a bit I want to watch the refs make some more calls

Grant Williams going to the floor is a winning play

I hope someone in the East Knox Celtics out I cannot watch them in the finals again

Monk yelling to gain sympathy when he really fouled Tatum lol

Watching this reffing is literally negatively impacting my health

these refs should consider self-administering euthanasia

Tatum literally shoving everyone going to the basket and trying to get his own rebound they're letting him literally do whatever he wants physically

Celtics getting reverse home cooking

Celts D is elite. They’re putting us deep in the shot clock on a lot of possessions

They got the size and length to switch-all with us, and that cuts out a lot of our split actions and backdoor cuts. As much as I like the blame the refs for ruining our momentum, we didn't fight back after the half and now the C got our numbers.

Tatum the type to meanmug a ref after he gets a call, then miss both free throws lmao

Kids are probably learning new swear words from their dads watching this game.

how are there that many Boston fans in the building.

The Celtics are really good. This is the first game all season where I've felt like we're playing well, but the other team is just better.

Why is it always the short white refs with buzz cuts that f*** over the kings??

Let’s not be Suns fans and blame refs anytime we’re losing, been seeing it after every loss this year

stop giving them excuses. every team has hard stretches. they look unmotivated

Sure the officiating sucks. Our defense might be worse than the officiating,

They call that a foul but not Barnes getting raked across teh arms.

Tatum is popular barnes isn’t that’s how this league works

Tatum is actually kind of a whiny b**ch.

How do Brogdon and Williams ... I mean ... they're built like C team bullies ... I mean ... they look like dentists' kids who were too fat to wrestle and already had Jordans, so they went out for basketball

Williams began his career in the NBA after being ousted from the Ninja Turtles.

They have a 9 pt lead that is entirely accounted for by the officials. This is basically a tied game and we still have the #1 offense in the league.

These refs are higher than Derrick White's hairline

Celtics is so d**n good. Ngl I want them to win it all this year

I just don't like Marcus Smart Him and Kelly Olynyk can eat rocks


Don't want Boston getting 50th win tonight

Smart's hair ain't even dyed, right? That sh**'s just moldy

No energy..we look like the Celtics logo old and out of Shape

The top east teams are so much better than the top west teams this year.

Tbh I’m more confused/annoyed at all the Celtics fans in the crowd than I am at taking this L. Where tf did all this green come from

Tatum apparently just tied Larry Bird for 30 point games in a season.

Don't know that I remember a game in which the Kings were down double-digits while shooting 40%+ from 3.

Doesn’t help that Celts are shooting better from 3 than we are. Most wide open

Welp... Celtics the better team...

Kings just getting outclassed tonight

Refs definitely killed our flow, but Celts D is something to learn from. They shut down Fox’s penetration and killed us on the passing lanes. All their dudes play tough nose D

I HATE the Celtics

Why are their starters still in? Lol

We’d win a lot more if we got these Boston calls

B**ch move leaving the starters in, Muzzula

Tatum stat padding at this point.

The West's top teams are so sh***y on defense, this season has been the weakest yet for the conference. Denver is not beating the Bucks, Sixers, or Celtics in a playoff series. Us? If their key players are sittimg out lol the Celtics are owning the team, doing layup drills.

Watching that game, it felt like the Celtics were 100% on threes, but now that I look at the box score, they weren't all that exceptional. Seriously, you're telling me Horford didn't have 8 or 9 of them by himself?

Also, get D White off he's murdering my fantasy team

Celtics fans out here showboating and filming our half empty arena with just their fans left

Celtics fans wonder why we hate their team. Starters stat padding when up 20+ with 2 mins left FOH

How tf are there this many Celtics fans? And they're chanting 'light the beam' too.

Massholes gonna Masshole

I despise Celtics fans

some frustrating calls from the kings side for sure, but rob did get a bogus tech after sabonis blatantly pushed him in the back while he was going up for a rebound, among other things.

Just so this whole thread isn’t a pity party: props to the Celtics, they are d**n good and they earned this win. Tatum is unstoppable when he decides to be, White and Smart are everywhere on defense, and Horford as a part-time center is an absurd luxury to have. That finals run was no accident, even if Grant Williams looking like a top-200 player definitely was. F*** that guy.

Fans deserve an L for letting Boston fans take over the arena

B2B catching up with us. Everything short.

How about the Celts being on their 6th straight road game? Their legs don’t look tired. The key difference is their D is elite, ours is bottom 5

They have players missing games all the time. They should be well rested

Let's enjoy the ride, we'll try to outshoot every team like it's the Wild Wild West moving forward.

The Celtics are a different team with Rob Williams, the Kings were a little unlucky they had to play the Celtics in his first game back

So because of Williams the refs allow the Celtics to get away with more?

Williams gets defensive boards. The Celtics have been getting beaten recently because they are putrid on the defensive glass without Williams.

Also Marcus Smart playing good again for whatever reason

The refs in this game suck man. Marcus Smart is the biggest Oscar actor in the NBA....when he got Keegan Murray running at him as if he really got hit...the refs buy into it....stupid dumb refs. Smart exaggerate the situation...it wasn't much of a contact. It's things like that allow Boston to gain momentum and open the flood gate.

Well also, this was the first game in a while Tatum played well, I think that was even more impactful than Timelord

Boston seems to be built a lot like the Clippers with their offenses going through Brown/Tatum and Kawhi/PG respectively. We just don't have the bodies to match-up with elite wing scorers right now.

Yeah, and the difference with the Clipps is they don't have the same all time defensive personnel the C's do. Smart and Horford guarding the front and back door is very effective.

actually when Rob Williams plays the C’s have only lost a handful of games.

I'll have to see what he does in the playoffs. Udoka played big with Williams and Horford and it helped them lose a ring. Solid 1-2 C combo punch though.

We lost because we allowed Paul Pierce to be a guest analyst on our own show, while wearing a tracksuit

Quote of the night from Mark Jones: “When I graduated it wasn’t magna cum laude, it was magna oh lawddy.”


Man…watching Smart, Brown, and Tatum acting cocky reminded me just how glad I was that Steph and the Warriors smacked em last Finals. Hope Giannis sweeps em this year…(and then we beat the Bucks in the Finals in 5)

Warriors are way worse dude, The Celtics players are actually mostly likable, except smart and Grant williams

As much as I want to blame the refs for this loss... when you lose by 20+ it's mostly on the Kings not playing up to par.

It looks like my estimate of 33 to 40 % Celtic fans may have been low. It was about 80% by the game's end.
