Lakers better bring their A game if they want it to stay respectable.

Got the tunes rolling pre game, i'm ready! I wanna see vintage Celtics Lakers tonight. Lot of hustle, lot of uncalled fouls, some blood, a few minor injuries, and some minor scuffles.

Refs need to let the game be old school.

Lakers are out matched, you can see it in the first three minutes. If the Lakers want to keep this semi close their going to have to win every lose ball and win the rebound game.

Brook Lopez attempts too many three's.

Looks like this game was worth staying up late for. Hopefully it will be hard fought 4th QT by both teams with very few whistles.

76-74, Lakers up by 2 end of the 3rd.

LAKERS WIN!

Almost lost due to horrible free throw shooting. Celtics will be just fine. Lakers needed this win at home for team morale. Kuzma played the 4th qt with no fear.

Ball Ingram Kuzma Hart should be untouchable in any trade talks.

This Laker team with proper development will make the playoffs next season without any FA additions. With Lebron and or Cousins the Lakers become a 4 seed next season.

Lets go Lakers!

Great win for the Lakers. These are the types of games young teams need to gain confidence

Ive been wondering the last week or so of Tatum is starting to hit the rookie wall, or if its just a bit of a slump.

I think the Celtics need to make a move on a very strong bench scorer. Im talking Lou Williams or Tyreke Evans strong. I think they should be willing to part with one of their own first rounders to bring someone in. Tyreke is my personal target. It may take to much to get Lou with the Clips still fighting for a playoff spot, and frankly I prefer Tyreke as a player anyways

Lakers have an impressive young core.
They don't need to add LeBron and definitely not Boogie to that mix.

LeBron wont be joining a team that young anyway. A 4 seed is his worst nightmare and he's only enduring it currently to get away from Trump backer Gilbert.

LeBron will shape FA for every team in the NBA this off-season. He will certainly shape it for the one he chooses.

I suspect that'll be Houston and I hate the Rockets... yuck.

When the season started i was hesitant to get on board with any FA pick ups because i wanted to see what this young core can develop into. Lakers need to make their free throws, and they need to learn how to finish/win close games.

I'd say they need to target guys like Iggy(when he was a FA target for GSW) that bring professionalism, leadership and defense that lasts a few years without the glaring primadonna status of say Dwight Howard.

Lakers don't play again till Friday vs the Bulls. I'm not sure how good the Bulls are or aren't. Both teams are 18-29 atm. These are the kind of games the Lakers need to be wining a majority of the time. No use in beating good teams like the Celtics to only turn around and lose to the Bulls. Hoping for the best.

Celtics in rough patch right. Dropped 4 in a row, with another game tonight VS a gritty Clipper team and a matchup VS the Warriors on Saturday. We need a win tonight to break out of the funk before heading north for an away game again GS.

Offense hasnt been clicking, ands turned into the Kyrie show of late. The Jays have been struggling alot with there consistency since the London trip, and Rozier has cooled off some after a hot stretch. I dont care if its a different guy every night, but someone has to step up on offense

Kings and Cavs far apart on George Hill deal.

Kobe Altman needs to hurry and get this done so he has enough time to demand extra compensation before the trade deadline

the circus in cleveland this year has been delicious
That franchise is going to be in rough shape if Lebron leaves.

This is a team that once had Dion Waiters, Anthony Bennett and Tristan Thompson as its young core around Kyrie. Lebron, during both stints, covered up a ton of warts with that organization
