this start to the third might be an early turn off for me.. yeah, we need more help if we can't deal with Boston without Tatum and whoever else

Think about this, are the Celtics shooting better with JT out there tonight? Probably not. Other guys have stepped up and are on fire. Less opportunity for those guys if JT was out there. And JT isn't the best pull up shooter

Jrue, White and Zinger are a combined 11-15 from three...

The refs sure took away the momentum in the first half, but they didn't help the Celtics much at the start of the third.

Ellis needed to grab that ball.

Interesting they don't call that travel on Monk at the end of the third when scoreboard.

I'm pulling a Boogie. I'm out I got other things on my plate more important than watching this poor performance in the 2nd half

we're really not in their league. I'm done with everyone except Fox, Sabonis and Murray. We're just spinning our wheels with guys like Monk, Huerter and Barnes needing to be major contributors.

Missed the game owing to a Christmas function, and perhaps glad I did. This result shows how far the Kings need to progress to be real contenders, and the ususal suspects did not show up again.

This is a good result. Hear me out. It seems like when the Kings come up against EC team they're able to get away with more physicality. The Kings got owned tonight by physical D. I mean, come the F on. Hauser out there pretending to play D and pushing guys so they can't get past him? Gotta blast right past him and you'll get the foul. This is on the coaching staff right now. Gotta hit the mismatch and if you get out with one, so be it, but if you do nothing, this is the result. Refs whistle teams like that as great defensive TEAMS, not individuals. That means bench players, like Hauser etc get the benefit of the doubt. Did Keegan? No. Did anyone on the Kings? No. This wreaked of a game of East Coast ball, reffed the way it is over the other side of the country. Gotta figure it out against before the East Coast trip.

I'm going to say this on its own. I'm not going to be surprised if it comes out that Lyles and Sasha are having issues. Mainly, Lyles is having issues with him, not from the other side at all. Just don't be surprised when it comes out.
