    You’re dumb. Stop being so reactionary to a loss with one of our core guys out, everyone shaken up, and on the road.
    We just blew the healthy lakers out the other night.

    Lol what? You haven’t watched a game this year if you think this is the first time we’ve seen this movie. Can’t win games when you only play 75% of them. EVERYBODY had to play under these circumstances. Not an excuse. Had the 2 best players on the floor and got their doors blown off. It’s ok to say they stink right now. This is a below .500 team who we beat by 30+ last time. Not a good look. Not a good stretch for the Celtics and you blaming it on Kobe and us “being on the road” is laughable as it is stupid.

    I’m still pissed Westbrook went to the rockets, since he’s my current favorite nba player. Just because Harden wants the ball more than Westbrook. And I believe Westbrook is still more an all around better athlete than Harden. Since Harden couldn’t beat an injured warriors team last year, I think Westbrook is the competitor they need that could push them to the next level in the playoffs. They need to let Westbrook manage half of their playoff games splitting with Harden. Harden chokes in the playoffs in key moments which is obviously why they grabbed Westbrook. I just want Westbrook to have a few championships under him before he’s out of his prime.

    This is hard to bring up, but Lakers play a huge game against the clippers Tuesday. It’ll be a huge emotional pre game before it even starts. Idk if they somehow postponed the game already. My bad if they did. But if they play, I look for Lebron to snap and play the most physical, emotional game that he has ever played. Think of the ratings this game will bring in. But it’s a game the lakers need to win, since it’s probably going to be the team they face in the conference championship. I just hope the entire team balls out the rest of the season and wins it all this year in Kobe’s name. I just hope this tragedy doesn’t have the opposite effect on the lakers. Which as time passes heals the wounds. So I think the team will be fired up and playing their hearts out. Thankfully in my area, the lakers are the most watched team so they always have their games on that I get to watch.

    Also imo that most will disagree with. Kobe in his prime would beat James one on one. Kobe had a higher overall skill set for his size. James has the advantage of being bigger, but I couldn’t see him covering Kobe and becoming fatigued. Too bad we never got to watch those 2 go at it in a championship series. That’ll be the biggest regret in this era of basketball.

    Also to try and bring some light to this situation. This will always be my all time favorite Skip Bayless tweet that I fully agree with. He brought this up during his show last week that had Shannon all worked up lmao I recorded the show for tomorrow morning and recorded Colin Cowherds show. Remember to record your favorite sports morning show tomorrow so you have it to watch years down the road.

    How do you even play in that game? There are so many “stars aligning” moments with this mans death. LA @ LA as the following game after his passing is insane. Gonna be such a special moment for the city and his family though. I already thought the Lakers were winning the championship, but I’m absolutely sold on it now.

    @Tom Brady the celtics f---in s--- amirite? won 6 of the last 7, beating the Lakers, Heat and Sixers decisively along that stretch. But they s--- because they lost one game to the pelicans?
    Kemba and Kanter out and they f---ing demolished the sixers, but you know, excuses and all.
    'Can't win games'
    'Not a good look'

    f--- off, you know nothing about the sport if you thought that loss was indicative of anything. they were exhausted from the roughest schedule in the nba, emotionally drained (14 games in just 23 days, on the road and during Kobe's death), but this team has SERIOUS ISSUES, right?

    First off, go f--- yourself. Second of all, every single quote you just used was made up. I said none of those things. When I said they s--- they had lost 6 of 8. They didn’t just “lose one game to the pelicans”lmao. That is 100% not a good look. Got their doors blown off on many occasions during that stretch. I didn’t say the season was over. I said “when you play 75% of games” you can’t win them. You are a sorry little homer. I watch every single second of all 82 games, just as I had last year. They’ve been playing a lot better. You don’t know anything about the sport. You read Twitter takes and run with it. Don’t you ever question my Celtics knowledge again I will blow you out of the f---ing water you scrub.

    Celtics were absolutely sucking, which is why you never answered my original post. You wait until they’ve had a better stretch (which we all knew was coming) and you unleash the “TOLD YOU LOL IDIOT YOU KNOW NOTHING”. We don’t claim you as a Celtics fan.

    You’re an idiot. First of all, it was one bad game, during a rough stretch, in rough conditions. They have been playing well as of late, it was a fluke game, and you were sounding the end of the world here. I watch every single second of every game too bud, quit gatekeeping Celtics fandom. The only scrub here is you, the clown who thinks I rely on Twitter takes. ‘It’s okay to say they stink right now’ it’s okay to say you’re a f---ing idiot too.

    @Tom Brady and maybe the reason I didn’t ‘answer’ your post at the time was because I have more important things to argue with delusional idiots.

    that’s exactly what I said. What about that screams “end of the world” or “delusional”. “Bad game during a tough stretch” OK so you admit they had a rough stretch and were playing bad? Good. Baby steps. You absolutely do not watch games. I can tell by the way you’re presenting your information. You would have understood how bad they were playing during that stretch, WHICH IS ALL I AM OR WAS EVER SAYING LMAO.
