BOSTON — NBA fans have been watching the Celtics vs Lakers rivalry since what seems like the beginning of time. I know that I’ve been watching it since Magic and Bird resurrected the league in 1979. Why? Because it’s been worth watching out of the sure competitiveness of it. Well…until Monday night’s 139-107 blasting that the Celtics put on LeBron and Co.
It was the worse regular-season loss in 50 years by either team. The last time there was a loss that bad in this rivalry was when the Lakers beat the Celtics by 35 on March 16, 1969. I was two!!!
According to ESPN Stats & Information research, it was only the 7th time in the history of the rivalry that either team won by 30 or more points.
After the game LeBron keep it 100. “I mean, listen, it was just a good, old-fashioned butt whooping. That’s all. They beat us in all facets of the game: outside, interior, points off turnovers, offensive rebounds. So it’s the main ingredients in the L.”
Yeah playa…they did whatever they wanted to do to LA in front of Big Momma and cousin Man-Man. The Lakers went on an 8-0 run to start the game and then the wheels fell off or like I love to say, they wet the bed on both sides of the mattress so bad that Big Momma had to throw it out.
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 27 points while both Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker dropped off 20 points apiece in this blasting of the their biggest rival.
JaVale McGee surprisingly led the Lakers with 18 points as LeBron dropped off 15 with 13 assists and 7 rebounds.
Look here…the Lakers have the second best record in the league at 34-9. The only team with a better record is Milwaukee sitting at 39-6. Nobody’s feeling sorry of those duns this morning for getting trucked in Boston. As a matter of fact, it was pretty fun to watch.
I would just hate to be the Knicks on Wednesday when they show up looking to put the train back on the tracks. Stop me when I start lyin’!
