When you’re run off the floor by your rival, there aren’t many positives that can be taken away. Particularly with the way things played out in the fourth quarter, there was definitely a very sour taste in the mouths of fans walking away from that contest. However, when looking at the box score, it wasn’t […]

The Lakers had plenty of self-inflicted wounds in Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Both a lack of effort and a lack of execution doomed them, bitter pills to swallow in a rivalry game. But while it may not have ultimately affected the outcome of the game, officiating was also a big storyline. Across the course […]

Tommy Points for everyone. On a night where the Lakers honored Pat Riley, the prince of pomade himself, and the greater Showtime era, it’s fitting to see Boston win by way of physicality and vigor. This 111-89 win was dominated both on the margins and in the more visibly loud areas of scoring and defending. […]
It's always good to beat the Lakers. I love how Lakers fans went from superstar Reaves to trash Reaves. Love all the envy of Mazzulla, Brad Stevens and Pritchard. I'm not surprised by their LeBron hate. If they win next game though they'll be back to being cocky and overrating everyone on their team. Poor Jaylen will never live down the hair incident. I love it when Celtics fans show up in mass on the road. My favorites are in bold. What ar...
#1 – 60 seconds that says it all Sometimes, 48 minutes can be sum up in just 60 seconds – and last night’s game against LA was the case. In this sequence, the Celtics are able to take four shots while the Lakers only have one attempt, which is blocked from behind. The willingness to […]
The Celtics are closing in on an interesting benchmark for potential NBA contenders. Their current record is 37-19, which puts 40-20 in play. For those that aren’t familiar, the 40-20 rule is defined as follows (via NBA reddit): The 40-20 rule, coined by Phil Jackson, states that legitimate NBA championship contenders must secure 40 wins […]
Coming into the season, the Boston Celtics weren’t taken nearly as seriously as in recent years. The team was dismissed early and so, too, were Jaylen Brown’s chances of mounting a legitimate MVP case. Brown, the lone man in the driver’s seat with Jayson Tatum sidelined, has reshaped not only how he’s perceived but also […]
LOS ANGELES — Jaylen Brown broke into a toothy grin as he chest-bumped Payton Pritchard at the center of Crypto.com arena, moments after Pritchard crossed up Austin Reaves en route to his sixth three-pointer of the night. Brown, Pritchard’s longest-tenured teammate, relished the offensive explosion. “Payton has been playing at an All-Star level,” Brown said […]
LOS ANGELES — Sunday was a day of celebration for the Lakers as they honored Pat Riley with a statue before, fittingly, a game against the Celtics. Even though Riley is with the Heat organization now, he made sure everyone knew the task at hand. “The time has come to kick some a–,” Riley said. […]
In between the third and fourth quarters of the NBA All-Star Game, NBC announced that they will be showing “The Quiet Work,” a five-part documentary on Jayson Tatum’s return from the torn Achilles injury that he suffered in Game 4 of the second round playoff series against the New York Knicks. During the pregame show […]
On paper, no one game is more important than another across 82 games in the regular season. A result in October will matter as much as a result in March. But we know that’s not true. For the Lakers, there are two games that always matter more than the rest. There have been many rivalries […]

Hours after unveiling Pat Riley’s statue, the Lakers hit a new low this season as they were run off the floor by the Celtics on Sunday, 111-89. After a back-and-forth game for most of the contest, the Lakers put up a pathetic display in the fourth to allow Boston to blow the game open. The […]

On Saturday in Los Angeles, Jayson Tatum did what he has done for weeks now: he said something that gave us pretty much nothing in the way of new information. He hasn’t practiced with the team since his Maine session a week ago. The photos from San Francisco were — Tatum’s words — an “optional […]
Boston’s secret weapon this year has been the play of guys that were, basically, afterthoughts in assessments of the team coming into the season. Sure, among Boston cognoscenti, there were expectations that Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman, Neemias Queta, and Sam Hauser would be able to fill in some gaps caused by the loss of Jayson […]
