Lakers 88, Celtics 87: Celtics Out Fail Lakers Down The Stretch

PrintIn what was one of the uglier games you'll see all season, the Los Angeles Lakers got a much needed road win, by the final score of 88-87 in overtime. They achieved victory by sucking slightly less down the stretch. Kobe Bryant was at his brilliant worst, taking terrible shots throughout the 4th quarter and overtime, hitting just enough impossible looks to keep his strong 1st half looking decent, ending the game with 27 points on 11-24 shooting, and Pau Gasol had one of his best games of the season, possibly in response to being left off the All-Star team, going for 25 and 14 boards, and a key block of Ray Allen on the Celtics final possession of overtime. Andrew Bynum struggled with the Celtics physical defense, but made a few very big plays, including an and one buzzer beating offensive rebound just before the half. Off the bench, Matt Barnes provided great energy, Troy Murphy somehow found ways to contribute while he missed nearly every open shot he took, and Steve Blake played big minutes in his return from injury due to Derek Fisher being Derek Fisher.
The Lakers survived because the Celtics couldn't take advantage of another weak offensive output. Ray Allen hit some shots early, and one big three late, but Paul Pierce could only manage 18 points on 18 shots, and Kevin Garnett was repeatedly allowed to miss shots from 20 feet to allow the Lakers to claw their way back into the game and eventually seal the victory. Garnett missed his last 10 shots and ended up 6-23 on the night. It's a victory the Lakers will be happy to take, but not one that provides any level of confidence that a bunch more victories are on the way.

Celtics fan here, and about to go and do exactly the same thing.
… though I think I’ll be slightly more aggressive today.
What a train-wreck of a game.
You got it right in the title, credit given where credit is due: congrats on sucking slightly less.

I just wanna say...
Thank you C.A., Dex, and the rest of you guys who write for this blog, for providing intelligent, insightful analysis on a consistent basis. I was browsing some other teams’ blogs, and I was shocked and dismayed at some of the garbage that I saw. I took it for granted that people with the reasoning capacity of a 5 year old on LSD would not be allowed to write articles. I was wrong. You guys rock!

and Yoshifan was talking to them and they seemed pretty cocky about winning on Friday.

he was deffintly rusty
I think had glock got his minutes he would had been more productive. Glocks been avg like 12pts but he missed 2 easy shots last night and blake only had 5 pts. We might of won by 10 had glock got his usual 12pts
by Ballinsohard on Feb 10, 2012 5:00 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Even though he struggled shooting the ball, he did a great job defensively.
For example, at the end of the 3rd if I remember correctly or whenever it was that he got switched guarding Pierce and did a great job moving his feet and had him to make a difficult shot. He did a much better job on defense and organizing the offense than Fisher.
by BoneCruncher24 on Feb 10, 2012 6:09 AM PST up reply actions

I’ve ever watched. 2nd one was the vs.Clippers game.

so is it safe to assume we'll win the next 2 to go 4-2 on the trip which would be respectable considering we lost 2 games we should've won!

He would have hit at least a few of those open three looks Fish, Peace, and Blake were getting.

Blake came off the bench first and lost minutes
I think that threw glock off, in the last few games he was able to play thru his mistakes stay on the court and get into rythym but tonight he got pulled for blake and fisher. I think he missed his first 1-2 shots in utah and philly too
by Ballinsohard on Feb 10, 2012 5:11 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
glock should be kobes backup.
have him on the court with blake, and have blake guard the 2 on defense. i know its not ideal, but i think blake is tough and enough to stand his ground against most twos in the league. some games will be different, but we need to keep glock on the floor with the bench. hes our only 3 point shooter over 40% besides murphy

Lakers need to keep winning. They're in 4th place because of the win. If they lost, Lakers would have dropped to 10th.

So I was lurking on the C's site just now. It is surprising how similar our fan bases are
or maybe all fan bases are the same way. We all want another guard and they want another Center. They are actually giving props to Bynum and Gasol. One of them even made the following comments:
I know we want Dwight Howard to go anywhere but to the Lakers, but Orlando can’t resist getting Bynum. I have had doubts about this guy for some time, but let’s be real here. I can’t see a better player that the Magic could get back for Howard right now. Bynum is legit. He proved himself in this game.

Did y’all think this game was as bad as C.A. thought? I agree, missed opportunities for both teams and I wasn’t thrilled to see our jumpers at the end but I expected it. The inside action was great though – at least from my TV pov.
Jelly Bean – yeah, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Boston and there’s respect there… hate sure, but respect too.
Once again, it's much too late.
I agree. The one thing that I think that proved to me that they had respect for the Lakers
was when some Cavs fans (on the Cavs blog) were saying that Lebron was better than Kobe and several of them came to the defense of Kobe. That shit was surprising.

I think both teams were kinda gassed there in the end.
They both are relatively old (starters anyway). But yeah, the inside grind was great to watch. I love watching these games. Even if they’re not pretty to watch, you can count on them putting effort into this matchup.

But you can’t judge a Boston-Laker game on the normal scale. This game was pretty standard for a contest between the two teams. Also, Kobe took very few bad shots by Boston standards, because its hard for anyone to get good shots against them (except maybe Bynum).
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
LOL, ouch!

maybe it's the fact that he was 7-13 on wide open shots
the Lakers play the C’s and Rondo well defensively because they don’t guard Rondo outside the FT line and force him to beat them shooting the ball.

some of his layups were very contested
he just needs to either stop taking the mid-range jumpers or start making them. the way the Lakers have played defense on him baits him into taking them.
but he still played MUCH better than KG.

Lin played well in the summer league (outside of just the famous John Wall matchup)
And he always put up good numbers in the limited minutes he played in GS. Few points, rebounds, and assists, and a steal and block here or there. Though it was garbage time
Coach has to meet us halfway
garbage time
hence why he didnt get a lot of hype. similar to tebow who didnt start till a bit later in his career

The only thing Jeremy did well as a Warrior was play defense.
He was average or worse at just about everything else. Not a high assist rate, low shooting percentage. Obviously, he was a rookie getting limited minutes, but he was far from consistently impressive.
He certainly did not:
always put up good numbers

he played well in the playoff game against the Steelers. Made a few completions even...
not so much against the Pats. His team was in the playoffs though and he stepped up and critical times in games. Has to get a lot better, but not awful.

Is this how one describes a good quarterback?
Coach has to meet us halfway
they were big completions at the beginning of the game...
not easy throws either and he hit the big one at the end. Is what it is. The Broncos ran the ball, played good D, and kicked field goals—that was their best chance for success and he was the best qb for that—only 6 AFC teams in playoffs and Broncos were one of them. He will get better with passing and progressions, well you know he will put the time in at least. I would not be surprised if he is better if not much better next year with the passing game.

Plenty of questions posed to the Lakers tonight were about how they would contain Jeremy Lin. We have officially jumped the shark.

It's a game like this where I'll miss mark jackson
new guy like Lin would’ve gotten plenty of “you talk about”s and “here’s a guy”s and “young fella”s
Maybe I'll just fade into Bolivian

The only reason why can't go off of obvious things like Melo and Amare not playing
is because teams bring their A game against the Lakers. Especially when you consider that this game is going to be in NY. Kobe is going to go off. He loves playing there. But Tyson better not punk Bynum and Pau.

That was not the case under Pat Riley and Magic Johnson
because their offense revolved around getting everyone involved. But after that, it was the Shaq and Kobe era and the Phil system. Well, for the most part. And as everyone has said before, the triangle isn’t for everyone. So it makes it seem that when a player left the Lakers that it would naturally go that way.

There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be committed against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the Limelight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.

yeah he has a ton of confidence going to the rim.
Keeps dribble alive and pretty crafty. BUT this should be a W with Melo and Amare out imo. Bynum and Pau all day inside and controlling the boards.
Can’t leave Novak open though. He’s been drilling it from deep.

We're experienced with guards that schools fish
we deal with that every single game…
Plus, Lin only scored 20 points in each of those games. He’s the new hot topic on the internet, but in terms of actual skill? Big deal…
just watched the jazz highlights.
went to the right 11 out of 14 times. and with the way we hedge on picks, he aint gonna have a free reign to do whatever he wants. plus, we actually play defense. NJ, UT & Wash do not.

So I was watching the final play on DVR and noticed even if Gasol didn't get the block, Ray Allen didn't get off the shot before the clock expired.
Anyone else get this too? The TNT game glock (unofficial) showed he had about .2 of a second left but the actual clock was 0.0 and the ball was still in Ray’s hands.

We didn’t win a ring but every time the Lakers play the Celtics it feels like a playoff game. if anything its just for bragging rights. I’m glad their are fans who are chill and can relax during these games because I can’t. Either way, I know this team has issues but defense wins titles and this game is a perfect example of how great this team is defensively. The rest will take care of itself. I still believe and feel they will be standing in the end. Love your Lakers everyone…love your Lakers. Peace out. Buck Foston.

Lin has faced a murderer's row of defensive teams in NJ, UTA, and WAS.
Certainly, he is solid, no doubt, but he hasn’t faced a team that has forced him to go left off P&Rs and actually work to aggressively contain him. Moreover, the Knicks will have to deal with Jeffries guarding Gasol, some poor sap getting dominated by Kobe, and even Chandler will have a tough matchup with Drew. Wouldn’t be surprised if Brown puts Gasol on Chandler since he covers the P&R better and allows Bynum to roam in the lane to deter penetration at the rim.

the only thing i hope he does do
is give china hope and open that bridge again the way Yao did. Not saying that bridge came down due to Yao retiring but it was under reconstruction. It’s really nice to see a player open the scope of basketball beyond the nba and give spread the joy of the sport and inspire veneration around the globe. so if nothing else, the kid is playing in one of the biggest markets in the world and what greater platform does he need to rejuvenate the melancholy left lingering after Yao’s departure? kudos to the kid just for that

Agree...
…Lin is a GREAT representative as a Chinese, Taiwanese AND American baller. I root for him (except against the Lakers) and hoped he would have chosen us over Folden State. Good kid, great head on his shoulders AND skills? He has the potential to be VERY inspirational from every angle. I am nearly past hating that Stern gets any benefit as part of his legacy, if JLin REALLY has a global impact.
