Celtics @ Lakers — Dec 25

And coaching

Yeah so Ham only used D-Lo for just 18 minutes even though he shot well and had 5 assists and 1 turnover so he can prioritize defense and they still allow 126 points, 50% FG, so is it coaching or players not executing?

In looking at the C's last few games 126 isn't bad actually. They are rolling and we're a team with a few holes.

Yes they were rolling but mostly because they shot like 45% from 3, but this game, they didn’t shoot well and still dropped 126

We came out flat in the third.
They had bonus with 6 1/2 minutes left in the Q.
Rui missed 3 wide open 3s.

And we had some mind numbing lapses on D that gave them wide open 3s to stretch the lead out.

They had mismatches on us most of the third, and they came after timeouts . I put that on Ham.

That's the mark of a good team these days. Over time, the 3 point shot is a 34% shot.... being able to score otherwise is what separates teams. So much emphasis on the 3 and so little scoring in the paint where teams shoot nearly 70%.

While I bleed Laker colors I do find the NBA difficult to watch with so much chucking.

As much as I hate to say it... the C's are a better team, more balanced and much more court aware.
