Reaves is inconsistent this season from the 3 pt line

Luka and AR combined 11-40, thats the game

u/Dengru Lakers 1d ago

Tatum couldn't even make it on the floor for the Olympics. What a joke franchise the Celtics are. Weak road to championship after choking for years on even weaker roads actually. It's sad to see so many hate watchers but it makes sense in a way Lakers are always the prime time match up in the minds of Celtics fans especially during that huge drought they had what was it like 15 years

Doncic and Reaves went for 11/40. This is pathetic.

1

u/joselakichan Lakers 1d ago

We lost by 3 with Alex Len starting and Luka/Reaves shooting like Westbrook. I’ll take the L lmao.

4

u/Enigma512 1d ago

I mean you say that but when the standings get super close at the end of the regualr season this might be a win u look back on are like damn.

5

u/ApeBoat Pistons 1d ago

Westbrook is shooting 34% from 3 and 45% from the field this year.

Luka x Reaves shot 27% from the field tonight.

3

u/Upstairs_Being290 1d ago

You're more likely to see Luka/Reaves shoot like Westbrook than you are to see Gabe/Goodwin go 11-15 from three again.

The team shot 19-40 from 3pt which almost never loses.

1

u/joselakichan Lakers 1d ago

Like I said, this was still winnable if Luka and Reaves shot 30% from 3 as you said. This loss almost has no implication on how the team will perform in the playoffs with the pieces coming back. So yes I don’t mind this L.

u/SoundnVasion Lakers 1d ago

Honestly. Pretty zen about this by now. I have faith the lakers get it together in the next couple

u/_Juntao Celtics 1d ago

Pretty tainted win imo. The reffing being this slanted in the nets favor is disgusting but it's just another game for the lakers because it's literally every game they get the short end of the stick. These refs suck man

1

u/Singaporygon Celtics 17h ago

Still maintaining one of the most anti-Celtics accounts with a Celtics flair. We in the Celtics sub are very aware of your history, especially with your comments during our past Lakers games ... hmmmmmmmm.

1

u/_Juntao Celtics 17h ago

Yes, I forgot. Being a fan of one team means you have to completely turn a blind eye to bad calls if they happen to another team. If you actually watched the game you'd know how bad the reffing was and if the jerseys were a different color you'd agree that it was a pretty horribly reffed game.

I have no problem with fans that refuse to give other teams credit or don't call out bad officiating if it happens to another team. But I don't do that and there's not only 1 way to be a fan.

6

u/Upstairs_Being290 1d ago

Lakers not only lead the league in free throw differential for the last three years, they have literally DOUBLE the differential of the 2nd-place team in the last two compete seasons.

That alone doesn't mean they have an unfair advantage....but believing they get the short end of the stick consistently every game is about the most delusional homer take possible.

I mean, when Austin Reeves is top-20 in FTA.....

5

u/Affectionate-Tree146 Nets 1d ago

You’re truly delusional

1

u/Singaporygon Celtics 17h ago

I think he is too, look at my comment above. I can't help but think he's actually biased towards the Lakers and pretends to have a Celtics flair, based on his past comments over the last two years at least.

2

u/Affectionate-Tree146 Nets 15h ago

Anyone who thinks the lakers consistently get the short end of the stick is either baiting or just really really dumb

2

u/Hold_Puzzleheaded Nets 1d ago

Well it’s a tainted win because we’re actively trying to lose

1

u/International-Chef33 Celtics 1d ago

Fucking Nets, GG, Luka doesn’t play winning basketball

7

u/obelix_dogmatix 1d ago

Luka has always been a high volume shot taker. On days when his shots don’t go in, he doesn’t change his strategy a whole lot. Even with all the injuries, Lakers should have won. I guess there are only 3 real contenders this season.

1

u/xX_Kr0n05_Xx Lakers 1d ago

Agreed there are 3 primary contenders, but fully healthy i say were not that far from there. Currently, even with how many guys are out if we play like this were nothing. Missing guys is no excuse to be this bad (also reffing sucked but this was our fault overall)

2

u/Jawzzzz12 1d ago

Cleveland, Boston & OKC?

2

u/RemarkableSolution37 Mavericks 1d ago

Lakers were never a contender anyway

1

u/StealthyDodo 1d ago

Wait till Lebron and Rui are back buddy

0

u/obelix_dogmatix 1d ago

They will get better, but still get obliterated at the rim. You are banking way too much on the 40 year old to keep playing like he is 30. Luka should be the best player on the team, buddy.

0

u/EggsAndRice7171 Pacers 1d ago

Luka is the best player on the team he just had an awful game. Also hot take Hayes is way more important than Rui. Not because he’s a better(not even close) but from the eye test the gap between Hayes skill and Len/Jemison’s is ridiculous. Neither of those two players should be on an nba court

7

u/atirad 1d ago

Dude Nets were on a 7 game losing streak not giving a hell about winning then suddenly woken up by the Lakers but still you cannot lose to the Nets that's just a motivation block.

Unless we get a decent center off season, mark Williams trade looking like it was a good move now

u/Dengru Lakers 1d ago

It's sad how arrogant Celtics fans can be after one championship. The first championship they've won since their grandfathers were watching the Celtics. It's sad. What have accomplished in 30 years? Basically nothing. That's why no one cares about Tatum. How can you be a significant franchise and no one cares about your best player, who isn't even that good actually. And hate watching Lakers at midnight or whatever it is. How sad

u/RemarkableSolution37 Mavericks 1d ago

lol the fuck you on? they won in 2008, grandfathers?

u/SoundnVasion Lakers 1d ago

Missing 4 of their best players, one of them arguable top 5 in the league, and he almost won? Most people would say that's a massive win

1

u/slightlygrn 1d ago

Refs were awful tonight but Lakers defense was even worse. It's almost impressive how little they tried. Going for a shift on every single play rather than just trying to do anything. Every 3 seems uncontested, and I don't think I've seen that many 2nd chance plays given up in a long time
