Celtics look elite this season. Sixers or Celtics will go to the NBA finals. Kemba has a real chance to play in an NBA finals, proving you can win with Kemba as your top player.

I love our team play though. We play greater than the sum of our parts. Let's dig deep and all play over our heads. There will be no talk of Charlotte being a wasteland since losing Kemba. TNT must acknowledge Hornets have a winning record coming into the contest.

We play respectable ball. Here's to a win!

I'm a big fan of Jaylen Brown. The guy has some MJ moves in his arsenal for sure. Still don't think they have the talent to beat 76ers or Bucks unless Kemba just plays lights out. I'm skeptical of that happening. Gordon Hayward's resurgence could be huge though.

I truly cannot wait for this game. I guess that means I will fall asleep right before it comes on some weird way.

Kemba is such a great person, ambassador, sportsman. He is just the complete package

I'm not THAT extreme :lol: but I do feel you to a certain extent.

I'm a Charlotte Hornets fan first and was only a Kemba Walker fan by extension. I will always appreciate what Kemba did while he was here but I don't feel any nostalgic desire to see him succeed in Boston or anywhere else for that matter. I certainly won't be rooting for the Celtics in the playoffs. At this point we have our fond memories but as for the future I hope the Celtics get spanked tonight and whenever they play us in subsequent seasons.

Gotta say though, if he has a great game and the crowd cheers I'm fine with it for tonight. It's closure for a lot of people. However, if Kemba stomps around, roars at our bench and acts as if he's been wronged in some way he can kick rocks. He knows he wasn't worth the super max and he knows the decision to let him walk was financial not basketball. Nobody in the Hornets organization has ever disrespected his name so he'd better not try to puff his chest out like an egotistical ex.

Kemba as a person = amazing, will have his jersey retired. Done so much for us.

Kemba as a player = wouldn’t jive with this team and blocks development of young players, glad he has a chance to be happy elsewhere

I am a Kemba fan and don't blame him at all for leaving but I recognized it was the right move for the team not to pay him the super-max. Glad it seems to be working out so far for both him and the Hornets.
I think Kemba feels a lot of pressure and emotions tonight. That may hurt his game in the first half if he tries to press. He has not been at his best in pressure situations. But, he may just completely ball out and score 50, the fans would go nuts and his familiarity with the rims and arena could help him do that.
Wish I could go tonight but instead I hooked up vexco with half price tix.......have fun!

Play a video thanking him before the game and give him a nice hand but he is one of THEM once the game starts. **** Kemba!

I am preemptively wishing a people's elbow to the throat of anyone that boos Kemba before the game tips off.

Odd. On paper, the Hornets look like the better team, despite the West Coast swing.

Is Momma Walker going to be in the house tonight?

She was a cool lady.
