Wagner has a nice stroke. Shot at the very least looks the part

Not an exaggeration, one of my first thoughts when we got Fournier is that you would love him.

Never paid attention to him maybe because he's on the Magic lol.

Thompson must have received the green light from the team to party as much as he wants.

He’s always under control. And he’s well known as an incredible locker room guy.

There is so much talent in this team. They just need to mature, be selfless and consistent.

Really solid all-around team effort against a solid Hornets squad today. Always happy to see that happen.

Romeo is really very good defensively.

He's a keeper.

Nice to have some secondary story lines rest of the season, aside from winning. Romeo’s development/come back, rob’s continued rise and Fournier fitting into the team.

Celtics look good when all 5 of Kemba, smart, Tatum, Brown, and RW3 are out there, have won like 4-5 games in a row with this crew. Only losses as of recent has been when one of these guys are out.

Yea to solid effort. But this version of the hornets is a 24 win team. Missing 40% of their scoring and they don’t have any depth down 3 main rotation pieces. Still celts did it the right way
