The Los Angeles Lakers were founded in 1947. Well the Celtics allowed a franchise that old to break their record of 3-pointers made in a game. Our defense let up 22 three-pointers. Yes, twenty-two. The Lakers scored 129 point on us, 66 of them from the three range, WOW. It’s sad when your getting demolished from that distance and Brad makes no changes to stop it.

LeBron kept being LeBron and got a triple-double on the C’s. Sadly Kyrie was not making all the shots he was taking, in fact he missed A LOT (being a little greedy??). Even with this major problem, it did not compare to the complete no-show performance our defense had. BUT, the absolute worst thing that could have happened could have. Someone I was watched win a championship with us in 2008 and always admired killed me. Ingram was blocked by Al on a game-winning layup, but no Celtic was able to get the ball. Rondo gets the ball, makes the shot, wins the game, and it was in a LAKER uniform.

We just lost to a the Lakers, who had just lost by 42 to the Pacers, who lost an star player in Dipo’.
PS- I know Hayward is coming off a big injury, but at what point do we start using him as a stater because he is not the type of player to thrive off limited time as seen this year…
