Comments from the Other Side - Lakers 12/5/25

 A win against the Lakers is always a good win.  It's funny that they were whining about JJ not playing Vanderbilt when probably if he did, they would have trashed him like they did everyone else who did play.  It would seem that LeBron isn't all that popular with Lakers fans either.  Still so many comments about Jaylen's hairline.  Lakers fans are really so bad trashing every player on their team.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours?   The B...

10 takeaways as Jaylen Brown, Jordan Walsh power Celtics past Lakers

Back in mid-November, the Celtics found themselves sitting with a 5-7 record – still searching for consistency, struggling to close out tight games and trying to find their identity. Since that point, they’ve looked like a mature and battle-tested team that has the answers to the test. The Celtics are playing inspired basketball and have […]

Player Grades: Lakers vs. Celtics

Well, that was a basketball game. The shorthanded Lakers didn’t have a chance at all at beating the Celtics. Boston started red-hot from 3-point range and ended the game hitting 24 from beyond the arc. Los Angeles appeared exhausted and unable to put up much of a fight. Head coach JJ Redick cleared his bench […]

Celtics cruise past shorthanded Lakers, 126-105, to win 4th straight

With Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart all sidelined, this watered-down version of Celtics-Lakers didn’t carry quite the same weight as many others over the years. But, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard ensured Celtics fans still got their money’s worth. Brown led the way with 30 points, 8 […]

Shorthanded Lakers blown out by Celtics

Derrick White drained two quick 3-pointers. At the 6:39 mark, the Lakers were still in single digits with just seven points scored.  Los Angeles […]

LeBron James out vs. Celtics due to sciatica

UPDATE: The Lakers made it official ruling LeBron James out against the Celtics due to right sciatica and left joint arthritis. This will make beating Boston that much harder, but given that LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA, it makes sense for him not to push it and play both games in back-to-back matchups. […]

10 takeaways from a ball movement night in D.C.

#1 – Assists percentage through the roof The Celtics are dead last in assist percentage this season, with an assist on only 56.5% of their baskets. This is directly linked to Boston’s huge tendency to lean on isolation, especially with Jaylen Brown. Last night, as the Celtics’ go-to guy was resting, the team needed to […]

Don’t turn your back on this Celtics defense

The Boston Celtics dominated the Washington Wizards in the nation’s capital, with their revamped defensive approach playing a pivotal role in the victory.  Before the season, coach Joe Mazzulla talked about playing to the strengths of his new roster. On offense that meant welcoming the idea of taking fewer threes as the Celtics lost some […]

Wizards Get Drubbed by Boston’s Backups in a 45-Point Debacle

So, I’m on the road and failed to pack anything to read. The best options where I’m saying are a book about The Actors Studio by James Lipton, the first chapter of which was surprisingly dull, and a memoir(?) by Chelsea Handler, which is not funny, interesting, or insightful. Spending the evening reading either would […]

In blowout over Wizards, Celtics continue to take a smaller approach

A lot has happened since Boston’s first matchup with the Washington Wizards.  Nearly a month apart from their first encounter, the result of a Boston blowout victory remained constant, but the Celtics find themselves in a different spot than the 4-5 record they sported after that early November matchup. Another constant is the team’s usage […]

Jordan Walsh is different — and Celtics win over Wizards showed why

WASHINGTON D.C. — For the vast majority of basketball players, nothing is more energizing than scoring. The sound of the ball swishing through the net. The points on the scoreboard.
