11/08: Rivalries Never Die - LAKERS @ Boston Celtics 1st Half Open Thread and Discussion


Lakers vs. Celtics...enough said. This is first half open thread and discussion of the NBA's historic rivalry. Leave a comment below and share your thoughts throughout the game. 

Q2

LAL 52 BOS 61

The team has found a way for a strong finish in the 1st half. Obviously, the Celtics are the Lakers toughest test in this early part of the schedule. I didn't see the first quarter, but in the 2nd quarter, it was obvious that Boston got the big lead because they were attacking the basket and played tough defense. Irving had his way early on. Fortunately, the Lakers made a run to close this out. They had to get back into the basics: attack and press. They picked those up down the stretch to cut it to single digits. It's a brand new game now and the Lakers have to ride the momentum from the end of the 2nd quarter. 2nd half will open up momentarily. 

Q1

LAL 0 BOS 0

*Hi guys! I could be running a little late for the game due to work. I'll miss the 1st quarter. I could miss a little bit of the 2nd quarter or miss the 1st half entirely. But, open thread will still be up. So keep doing what you're doing. Thanks! ~ MG*
