I do think they need another defender. But even then personnel wise they are going to be closing out games no matter what in he postseason with Luka-AR-Lebron-Ayton. Which will never really be an all world defensive lineup. The only real decision is between Rui and Smart and if Rui keeps shooting like he has you have to go with him.

Lanky-Promotion3022

Their defensive rating with the same lineup in the 3rd-4th qtr, in the clutch is the best in the league. It’s quite clear they tend to pick their moments where suddenly guys like Luka become more active in getting stops and steals.

regular season is a marathon, conserving energy to expound at the right time, with this lineup makes sense. Since their perimeter guys do alot of heavy lifting offensively. Best offensive backcourt by a mile so something’s got to give.

The Celtics three defensive wings who were all seen as offensively limited (Walsh, Minott, Gonzalez) are all shooting above 43% from 3.

At one point there will be some amount of regression, but the development they’ve gotten from those guys are incredible and those leaps (and Queta) is really the difference from the bottom of the lottery to bona-fide playoff team.

The cool part is so many of the players who stepped up are young and unproven, and are taking advantage of the time they’re getting thanks to the team blowing up.

Queta was the 4th string center and now he’s an impact starter, Walsh was looking like a trade filler candidate and now he’s one of our more important players and the team is 9-2 with him as a starter, Minott was a garbage time player for the Wolves and now he’s a great rotational wing for us too.

I don’t understand the comments here about Reaves. He wasn’t foul baiting and I didn’t see any ridiculous calls that went in his favor. The Celtics were playing him tight and got a little too aggressive at times. It’s much different from SGA initiating contact into defenders and getting the calls.

I’m a biased Celtics fan but from my perspective he gets a pretty favorable whistle comparatively to what it takes for other players to get fouls called in their favor.

The other factor that influences me is how much of his offense is carried by that favorable whistle (fta).

If he were on the Celtics I suspect I’d be less critical. Hell, I’m a Marcus Smart fan for life.

Because he gets all the calls on soft contact which are technically fouls, but are at the discretion of the refs. Meanwhile plenty of other guys, in this exact same game, were not getting calls for much bigger contact. And it wasn’t just against the Celtics either. Kleber got clobbered on a drive with no call. Smith got whacked at least twice with no calls. Ayton got shoved multiple times with no calls. But then Reaves gets touch fouls called for him. It’s the inconsistency that drives people insane, especially when certain players seem to be favored.

This. There’s a difference between essentially tricking someone into fouling you and flopping. The former is a legitimate skill that, while annoying, is and should be part of the game. The latter is not and should be punished. TONS of fans conflate the two and view them as on in the same.

AR mostly, but not entirely, belongs to the former. He’s really good at putting defenders in terrible situations and exploiting the fuck out of them. I don’t think that should be a problem.

I guess if you take any positives, it’s that 3 of the 6 Laker losses this season are on the back end of a back to back.

Y’all weren’t lying about the Austin Reaves whistle.

Dude grifts so hard, at least Shai deserves the superstar treatment

Reaves just has high BBIQ on offense. He knows how to initiate contact in his benefit and often gets defenders jumping with a series of pump fakes. Reaves running the pick & roll with Ayton has been so effective for the Lakers because most teams won’t stop running drop coverage. Reaves gets to run full speed to the paint every time his defender goes under the screen.

Dog, I’m not denying the talent, I’m denying that he’s somehow the 4th best player in the league at forcing contact. We know that’s not the case.

My issue is really about the lack of consistency. Plenty of dudes get fouled as often as Reaves and do not get the same number of trips to the line.

Are you really going to tell me he forces more contact than Jokic? LeBron? Tatum?

Fam, I’d recommend you watch some more Laker offensive sets with Reaves as the primary ball handler. He’s figured out how to punish bad defense in the pick and roll & has improved on his ability to finish in the paint offensively while putting his defenders in bad positions. Teams wouldn’t have to foul Reaves so much if they stopped playing drop coverage so consistently. Teams can’t really experiment with doubling or blitzing Reaves because usually Lebron or Luka will be on the court. Reaves benefits way more from physical contact as a smaller guard in comparison to bigs/bigger guards like Lebron, Jokic, and Tatum.

Austin Reaves having more FTAs than our entire team combined is gross, and to think Lakers fans and Doncic fans have the galls to complain about SGA. I’m glad we beat the crap out of the Lakers. I will be rooting against the Lakers forever.

I think we have one of the best records or close to the most wins against good teams this season. This team is legit, we’re on a home court trajectory and that’s before potentially getting back a Top 5 player.

If Cs make a trade for a big man depth and get JT back healthy in February/March, they are going to make some noise in the playoffs.

Luka being out doesn’t help things but the fact is the defense has to improve if the Lakers want to be taken seriously. Right now they’re a second round exit at best with defense like this.

Giv mazulla a lot of credit. Many attributed his success to the stacked roster they had, but this year proves that joe can coach the hell outta guys. C’s have been playing great basketball with a bunch of 3rd stringers

The Boston Celtics (14-9) blow out the Los Angeles Lakers (16-6), 126-105.
