Inside the NBA on Lakers Beating the Celtics Without LeBron & AD
>> IT IS A GAME BREAK FROM STUDIO J IN ATLANTA, WHERE AUSTIN REAVES HAD HIMSELF A NIGHT FOR THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS. HIS SEASON HIGH 32 AND PLAYING WITHOUT LEBRON JAMES AND WITHOUT ANTHONY DAVIS. THEY GO INTO BOSTON, WHERE THE CELTICS WERE 22 AND TWO AND BEAT THEM 149 TO 105. WELCOME EVERYBODY,
ERNIE JOHNSON, SHAQUILLE O’NEAL, KENNY THE JET SMITH, CHARLES BARKLEY WORST LOSS OF THE SEASON FOR THE CELTICS IN YOUR MIND. >> EASILY, EASILY. THOSE OTHER TWO TEAMS THEY’RE CONTENDERS. THE NUGGETS AND THE CLIPPERS. BUT TO LOSE TO A TEAM WITHOUT LEBRON AND A.D. REGGIE SAID IT. BUT I SAID IT AT HALFTIME. ERNIE,
I’M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY CELTICS MENTAL TOUGHNESS BECAUSE YOU CAN WIN. YOU WIN GAMES ON TALENT. BUT YOU HAVE TO WIN GAMES IN THE PLAYOFFS. ON TOUGHNESS AND MENTAL. YOU HAVE TO BE MENTALLY STRONG. YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE BALL AND THIS TEAM HERE, TO ME, THEY
ARE MENTALLY. THEY GOT GREAT TALENT, BUT THEY’RE MENTALLY WEAK. >> THEY GO AHEAD AND THE ROUTE TO BECOMING A CHAMPION, YOU CAN NEVER GET BORED. >> YOU GOT TO STICK TO THE PROGRAM, BEAT THE TEAMS AS OPPOSED TO BEAT, PLAY GREAT AT HOME AND STAY ABOVE 500IN A ROW. AND OF COURSE, WHEN
IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT NO LEBRON, NO AD, THEY GOT BORED, THEY THOUGHT LIKE CHUCK SAID, WITH OUR TALENT, WE CAN BEAT THESE GUYS. AND THE OTHER GUYS CAME TO PLAY. BUT AGAIN, IN ROUTE TO BEING A CHAMPION, YOU DON’T EVER GIVE UP. I DON’T CARE WHO’S ON THE COURT. WE FOCUS. THIS
IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT. THIS IS WHY. AND THIS IS WHY THEY’RE NOT READY TO BE A CHAMPION. I THINK THEY I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE WON THE GAME EVEN IF THEY WANT TO WIN, TO WIN THE GAME. MISSOULA SHOULD HAVE CAME IN AND SAID, Y’ALL
DIDN’T DESERVE THE WIN THIS GAME BECAUSE NO LEBRON AD SUPPOSED TO BE UP BY 60. >> YEAH, AND A CHAMPION. WHAT THEY REALLY DO CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS. THEY FIGHT HUMAN NATURE. IT’S HUMAN. YOUR HUMAN NATURE IS A DROP OFF. >> YOU’RE LET DOWN. >> AND MOST PEOPLE THINK YOU
LET DOWN AND YOU LET THINGS HAPPEN. WHAT IT IS YOU ACTUALLY FEEL THERE’S GOING TO BE LESS RESISTANCE. SO YOU’RE LIKE, OH, I’M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE TONIGHT. I’M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS EASIER TONIGHT. AND WHAT HAPPENS IS AUSTIN REAVES, D’ANGELO RUSSELL AND THESE GUYS, THEY
COME OUT WITH RESISTANCE AND YOU’RE SHOCKED. AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT. >> YOU KNOW ERNIE, IT’S INTERESTING I WATCHED THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES THE OTHER NIGHT PLAY THE MAVERICKS BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, LET ME TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS. THIS TIMBERWOLVES TEAM. NO LUKA NO KYRIE. THEY BEAT THEM BY
40 I WAS LIKE OKAY MAYBE I GOT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THE SECTOR SHOULD HAVE DID TONIGHT. LIKE BECAUSE THE LAKERS DIDN’T THINK THEY HAD A CHANCE TO COME IN CORRECT. NO. AND BUT THEN ONCE THE HOUSE WAS ON FIRE, REEVES, THE GUY GOING ALL THE OTHER
GUYS JUST LIKE, OH MAN, THEY GOT NBA PLAYERS TOO. OH WUN DISAPPOINTED ME ABOUT THE CELTICS. >> IS THAT WHEN THE LAKERS CAME OUT AND HIT HIM, THEY DIDN’T EVEN RESPOND. YOU SUPPOSED TO SAY, OKAY, ALL RIGHT, OKAY I KNOW THERE’S NO LEBRON. THEY DID. AND YOU GUYS AIN’T SUPPOSED TO BE IN
THIS. NOW IT’S FIRST TURN TO PUT ON THAT CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY. BUT BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T DO THAT THIS IS WHY I KNOW THEY’RE NOT READY. >> YOU KNOW THEY WERE DOWN 16 PULLED WITHIN SIX IN THE THIRD QUARTER. AND THEN THE

What you think happens when you legalize gambling. Hmm
It would suck being on LeBrons team. He's competing with you for stats instead of just trying to win. Chemistry issues.
im a celtics fan been watching these celtics for 4 years and this is another year of shooting 500 3s a game and hoping they go in becuase there is no plan B and this team has no toughness or grit , softest team in NBA and all the vets know it . The Cs are going no where again for the 5th year
Them.old people in the way
Proof lakers donāt need LeBron. Get rid of him and let these young players gel. This aināt the Celtics being bad or weak mentally. The Lakers sans Lebron and Mr. Glass, have real talent that canāt gel with a guy that pesky practice with them , constantly has that negative aura of being traded or scapegoated when Lebron or the team fails.
This young core needs to breathe. I wonder if they are sick of Lebron Tom and played hard for Darvin Hamm? If us fans see through this silly mess these players are front and center and they got to know as well. Lebron and AD Sat out in hopes the lakers lose again and Hamm would have to be fired.
The kids ignored that memo and showed what they can do without the bull in a china shop and Mr. Glass.
Scripted…I didn't watch past 5 minutes…it was refreshing though not to see that sorry AD and LeBron as they sat on sidelines like a couple in civies..smh
Thats actually embarrassing. The lakers without those two are a G league team.
I love it, that's to show you James ain't nothing but a torn on that team the fool only wants attention and the are fools playing his little games.
god, that was a bad loss for the celtics. they shouldāve won that easily
Trade LeBron and Street-clothes now for younger players. Lakers may not even make the play in game. The team that played tonight did fine.
Definitely scripted. Celtics just beat pacers and pelicans full squad then drop this gameā¦Someone got paid š
Im surprised noone commented on how this is just another sign that the lakers have pieces they need to be a great team. Maybe not contenders, but they should be putting up performances like this every night with Lebron and AD. The entire team showed up last night, lets see that sort of hustle every night.
Jaylen can't go left, easy to defend.
Perhaps LeBum is the problem?
Lakers is better without the self proclaimed king.
They had losses too but this was exactily how they played when Lebron was out for many games last year. You can see there are so much freedom from the players, not constantly looking for Lebron, who stagnates the offense and defense. 39yr old Lebron should come off form bench, just like Westbrick for the Clippers.
This is the sadest thing I have seen yall lost to a team without AD and lebron. And yall the number 1 team in the nba
The absence of AD would have been a problem but luckily for the Lakers, it was compensated by the absence of Queen LaBum… Bye bye Queen, your plan to show how much the team needs you only exposed the truth: you are the Deadweight slowing down the Lakers.
That was just F*ing perfect š
so they talk only about the lakers when lebron and ad are playin
Not a single compliment to ham for his coaching tonight for the team beating the celtics. But when lakers lose theres no issue blaming the coach
People still fall for the politics thats in sports… It was all about the bets that millions put in for the Celtics to win…š¤£
They caught the Celtics on a off day and played down to the competition. The Flakers a play in team think they gonna win a championship because of one game… š
latest news = Lebron leaving LA
Everyone calling this loss embarrassing, I agree. But.. You gotta give credit to the lakers for finally being able to play ball like they should without lebron dragging them down. Seriously, you think anyone on that team is going to say anything against his word? He just gave them a semi-ultimatum like a petulant child. Add on that he just sits around and gets to bitch at refs without consequences, yeah I can understand why they played better, they're finally free of that old man who always thinks he's right cuz of accolades of yesteryear. At some point peope gotta be realistic and understand lebron is gonna be on his way out more than he realizes, and now is that time. He should be forced to keep pace with the rest of the team instead of pandering to him because of his name. Feel bad for y'all Lakers fans
One game and they acting concerned. Get real
They is it that ya Pocket watching Brown? š.
This just proves that Lebron need more help!
Anybody Can Loseā¦Smh
Why is Lebron on the pic if this video – it should be Austin ReZ
Lebron part of the problem in LA.. he takes 0 accountability, wants his coach fired, his teammates traded, and still expects his team to play hard šÆ
Lebron needs to let these young players play.
Lebron is having more of an impact on winning by not playing.
I would say these Celtics need to switch to an all-liquid diet because they choke so much, but then theyād probably drownā¦
The Celtics starters played even less in this game than in that Bucks blowout where they sat out the whole second half.
Drama, celtics have 12 loses. Lakers have 25. Are we going to sit and not take into consideration the ridiculousness of the lakers dropping 3 pointers. Lakers will not drop 3 like that every night. They had a superb shooting night. Celtics are still 3 games ahead of bucks. No need for celtics to get injured in a game that doesn't matter. Stop the stupidity talk shaq.
For the love of God get a new TNT crew.
Notice no talk about the struggling Lakers winning without the Whining"Kang" lolš š
Facts bro fucked up my prize picks to many times
Tatum talked about Porzingis being Pau lmao, dude thinks hes Kobe! Bruh be 5% of Kobe and maybe … Ah nvm! š„ø
They act like they dont know NBA wants Lakers and GSW to make the play-offs šš nba just said it publicly that GSW vs Lakers had the highest views of the season above the NBA Finals..
So its clear that they will make everything they can to put them on the play in.
And now that embiid isnt getting the mvp ..nba is working to give it to SGA or anyone else outside from Jokic.
Nice suit Shaq
Lakers better without Lebron .. FACTS
