The Lakers have struggled to move their feet on defense during interior penetration by my Celtics and we have turned paint points into barbecue chicken.

They are all lead footed. All of them. I don't know how they fix that as the games pile up especially considering their schedule has been the easiest so far. See as your disjointed Celtics dey take them shine.

Lateral movements, changing direction and making cuts in reaction to offensive penetration has been troubling. As for my Celtics, I don't think I have missed any game this season and in most of them we struggled to close out leads so I am watching to see how we finish tonight.

The problem with the Lakers is more than just Westbrick..Watch them on defense and you might understand. It is just too easy if you attack the paint.

You have nothing to say? When I say Giannis is the best player in the league, you and your type get triggered grin. Because y'all would never want to put him above your sweethearts KD and Steph. Deal with it bro, Giannis is the best player in the league.

Oga was laffing out loud at you saying Giannis is not a big man, that's the smelliest talk ever.

They are absolutely shocking. Which is why I was baffled at how unserious they were with preseason. Their soft schedule was suppose to provide a buffer and if they had taken preseason seriously they would have figured things out and had a much better start whether LeNomad is down or not. They will now be under enormous pressure their next 15 games because if they finish play in this season again then they are getting embarrassed. Whether they are healthy or not

Consecutive seasons where the Lakers came into the season underprepared. They returned only 3 players from last season which should have heighted their sense of urgency in getting their play together before the season started. But...this is a very experienced side and if they stay healthy, they can put it together on defense especially when you consider they have F. Vogel. Coach Vogel needs to be realistic with how he wants to play on offense and the players at his disposal.

Its clear they have not learned their lesson. We just saw the Warriors without Steph, Draymond. Klay and some of their bench depth win at Detroit. That's a chemistry thing but the Lakers for some reason believe once LeNomad comes back everything just will magically be right again. But there is an element of pressure that starting badly will do to you. Already you can see the first two seeds pulling separation. I expect them to bounce back too but of all their losses I've seen this season this one is the most discouraging

Exactly his game is too free throw centric, occasionally he gets hot but he lives and die by the whistle. This is why you can depend on him in the playoffs when the referees swallow their whistle and when team apply appropriate defensive schemes.

One game vs a Lakjers team that has forgotten how to play defense. Stop it. And this is something Tatum needs to learn- games like this will come where its like you cant miss. But you cant carry that to the next game. Those same shots will not fall late in the game with a better defensive team. I just get that feel he goes into the next game and tries to chuck his way to 40 pts again.

If you even watch the fouls that elicited the free throws you would know the NBA is a joke. The referees literally decide when to make him a star and when to show him who he has become - a proper fraud.

It's why I have never really rated his game like that. His style is tailor made for failure in the playoffs, he was yabbing Giannis the other time but me I prefer Giannis's bag to his.

He's a lousy volume 3pt shooter and a dribble crossover free throw merchant

I was wondering why they have reneged on their commitment to ref the game better so early. It was laughable a lot of the calls he got

Not disputing this but you have to give him his due for finding his way back to the line. As much as you guys despise him, he is one of the best students of the game especially when it comes to interpreting the rules of the game to favor him. It only took him a minute but he looks like he has figured it out. Also, his assist numbers have increased which speaks to the overall improvement in his game. The Nets need Harden to put the numbers up if they are to stand any chance.

Abeg bone that thing. Tatum can go on this binge against any team. I do agree his shot selection is a work in progress but same argument can be made for guys like Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell etc. Not everyone is going to prioritize efficiency.

I have never really questioned his passing, I still believe the refs let him off the hook and come playoff time the Harden we all know and love will show up again. All I'm seeing is the refs are caving again. The man shot 7/25 grin grin less than 30% from the field. That is very fraudulent to me
