Me too. .Lesser team is obvious This team isn't built to win.. Instead of blaming a different player every game the blame falls on who helped build this team of misfits. Ainge and Stevens. You'll never hear me blaming the refs!
Why blame the ref when you can blame Smarticus... or IUD for playing him?

Anytime the Lakers play and even against a team that I should root against being in our division...although we had no chance to catch the Nets...I get great pleasure in seeing them lose. As the Spearment chewing gum ad went, "double my pleasure, double my fun”, Celtics win and Lakers lose on same day...same as Red Sox and Yankees.

Patty Mills dropped 34 on the Lakers! 8 of 13 Threes! He's not good enough defensively to play for us, though!!And if he did Ime would take him out in the last 5 minutes in favor of Smart! Dumbass put Smart and Langford in for defensive purposes and gets outscored 21 to 4 in a 5 minute stretch! No defense and no offense! We should have got Mills instead of Schroder. everyone agrees i think Giannis took over the game if we only had a PF that could guard in the paint.. Tatum wants none of the dirty work and RWill wasn't enough. It will get worse when Gator Williams comes back as our 6'6'' stretch 4. Were too small and our guards arn't great on defense too slow of foot. You do realize Stevens was all in on extending Smart and keeping him? IME hand is forced if we cut back Smarts minutes it makes him less valuable if Stevens has a change of heart. I'm gussin..

I am still livid. DA knew what he was leaving here. A big fkn mess. A team that couldnt and cant mesh. And then he vanished. We were left with BS who is no different than Ainge. In other words, we have no new direction. Expect the same for years to come.

With Ainge's backing and the media and fans over valuing Timmy he is under contract till 2026. .Mrs Timmy negoicated an ironclad contract it seems. WYC was played as the fool..
Couple months spring traing starts and the Sox who seem to have a solid owner and organsation might ease the pain..
As NBA history is written the Stevens chapter won't have any highlites.

Yep, basically time to look forward to baseball...Patriots just got schooled for the second week in a row...at least they are still contenders, and a much better turnaround story than the Celtics...but back to earth for sure...
At least I should have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Golden State Warriors to root for...

At least I should have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Golden State Warriors to root for... Even though Brady left I’m a Patriot fan too. But I followed liking Brady as I like old guys...I’m 83...and still play tennis 3 times per week. Actually I rooted for them when they beat the Patriots in Foxborough. I think Tampa will need beat KC in the Super Bowl again this year. Happy to see Lakers lose yesterday. Amazing how well the Warriors have done without Klay Thompson. Unfortunately I am a masochistic 49er fan too. Garopolo is a good pocket passer but has no mobility to escape a tackle which is needed then the offensive line is average.

Good to see you back here posting...as Cole and others have noted...
Yeah, any time the Lakers lose is great...and I am also surprised how well the Warriors are doing without Klay...Steph is putting on a clinic in shooting this year...historic..so far as Jimmy G goes, my older son is a big fan, but I am starting to question his ability to shine in the big moments...
Wishing you and all here a great New Year ahead!...

After another bad shooting night, Tatum is now shooting sub .420 on the year. Honestly, if Tatum was having one of his most efficient seasons, and shooting .460 on the year, we STILL wouldnt have enough offense. So even if Tatum was having a good year scoring the ball with volume and efficiency, we'd still be light on scoring - so you can imagine how bad the offense is with Tatum having his worst year from an efficiency standpoint. We are now 33 games into the year, and Tatum is still having his worst year from an efficiency standpoint by a mile. Certainly, nobody would think that he'd be this bad so deep into the season.
Maybe the problem is we are asking him to do much. And Im sure that is part of it. But still, how does he suddenly revert to such an inefficient player in his fifth year. I dont think it has much to do with not having a true PG or him playing the wrong position (external stuff), I think that honestly, he's just not shown the touch that he's had his entire career before this year.
Any notion that we should trade him is silly. Trade him for who exactly? Dame? You think that Dame and Brown are enough to win a championship? You want to get older? I understand being frustrated w Tatum, as we all have right to be frustrated with him. But there is no conceivable way, in my mind, we can trade him and get better. He's still a top 15 player in the NBA. We just need to wake him up somehow.

The problem with Tatum is that he is in consistent! Some nights a true super star and other nights especially in crunch time he is average or below average. Problem is I believe that other that him and Brown we have no constant 15-20 point scorer. Smart is inconsistent on offense but he does provide defense which Tatum & Brown do not. I really thought that Schroder would be that 3rd prolific Scorer. I thought the Lakers were crazy unloading him when they had a potential big 3 of LeBron, Davis and him before they got Westbrook but they knew he wasn’t worth 90Mil & now he’s not worth the 15mil we pay him. We don’t have a big man like Giannis or Embiid but not too many guys like them around. Horford is too old, Kanter no good on defense and Williams is good but still 2-3 inches too short. I like Pritchard but he too is inconsistent. In short, Brown and Tatum can many times be double teamed so it’s not always their fault and neither one can drive to the basket like Old Man LeBron & Davis too. But other than Westbrook, the rest of their team is mediocre too. I don’t favor getting rid of Tatum because I don’t know whom we could get to replace him of worth. Tatum on another team with 2 other very good stars could bring them a championship.

Wonder why the new boosters havn't been redesigned or upgraded for this new variant? Now i'm no anti vaxer but something ain't jiving.. I know you well i suspect your a bit puzzled also

I know you well i suspect your a bit puzzled also The variant just showed up a matter of days ago.
Redesigning a booster does take time and testing, testing, testing.... as well it should before health departments recommend that it be injected into millions upon millions of human bodies.
What does jive is the Covid-19 is mutating like crazy as organisms are apt to do.
Most variants don't survive but a very, very few do.
And that's trouble big time for those with compromised immune systems.

I'm not disucssing this further but i'm calling BS.
Israeli researchers claim that a third dose of the vaccine is simply not enough to provide lasting protection against a Wuhan infection. Only with a fourth, followed by a fifth, injection can people stay safe, they insist.

They can't afford a reduction in population. Land shrinkage goes hand in hand ...
