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 […]

‘You can’t control winning’ says Raptors coach as they lose to Hornets

On a cold December night, the Raptors prepared to play their second game of a back-to-back, their 5th game in seven nights. Last night’s buzzer-beater loss to the LA Lakers still fresh, it was time to let that go and focus […]

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

The Lakers couldn’t find enough firepower to stop the Boston Celtics, losing 126-105, on Friday night.  LA had a rough start offensively, allowing the Celtics to take an early eight-point lead. 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. […]

Comments from the Other Side - Wizards 12/4/25

 Poor Wizards fans.  I really do feel for them. Credit to them for still showing up for their team.   The poor guy wanting Doc Rivers needs to be careful what he wishes for.  Jaylen Brown didn't even play and still got ribbed for his hair flub.  They do seem to have a sense of humor about it all. I'm very happy for Jordan Walsh's success.   Now it's on to the Lakers and hopefully another win.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours? &nb...

One of the most interesting games in the Toronto Raptors calendar — LeBron and the LA Lakers in Toronto. It comes at a pretty inconvenient time for the Raptors, honestly. Thursday’s game was their 4th game in 6 nights, the first in their second back-to-back of the week. The Lakers also had a bit of […]
