GT: Charlotte vs Boston 11/20 7PM ET

[JDR720]

let me guess, Hornets hang close with LaMelo and Brandon Miller hitting some good shots in the middle part of the 1st quarter. late in the quarter Boston goes on a 10-0 run to lead by 7. then they score the first 4 points of the 2nd quarter and never lead by single digits for the rest of the game. the intensity of competitiveness evaporates in the first 5 minutes of the second half and the Celts coast to a gentleman's 25pt victory shooting 46% from 3?

i'm going with a small halftime lead for Charlotte, followed by a Boston 47-15 3rd quarter, and then one of our 6 NBA-caliber players goes down with an injury down 30

This would be very on key

[yosemiteben]

This game is virtually guaranteed to not be a good time

[Diop]

my only hope is usually when everyone has cracked it and given up, this team somehow upsets a good team to give a glimmer of hope and prolong the pain

[Rich4114]

Tatum going to score 80 and PJ and Hayward combine for 4

[KingCat]

They randomly got taken to the wire by the Grizzles. Maybe cause of our more rested legs we have a chance to lose by 15 instead of 25

[JDR720]

Gonna win by 7.

Down 31-15 after 1, LaMelo heats up in the second quarter but it's still 64-49 at the half. Hayward goes 1-8 again, LaMelo and Miller score 50-60 between them and it's mop-up fourth quarter duty for Richards-Thor-Black-Smith Jr.-Smith in a 121-96 loss

Didn't this just happen like 4 times in a row?

I just assume 8 out of every 9 games goes like that. When I'm at a game and it's just close after 1 (not even winning, just within 5 points) I'm like "Sweet, I picked the 'good' one."

Swinging this idea over from the Lineup talk thread, but I would love to see Cliff shake things up tonight. We have been awful on both ends of the floor lately. A lineup of Ball-Miller-Miles-Thor and Mark give us 3 guys sub 120 in def rating.

Matchups with said lineup.
Ball on White
Miller on Jrue-
Miles on Brown
Thor on Tatum - I would tell Thor this is your night, we are starting you to lock him up and challenge him.
Mark on KP

With Nick out too, Pj off the bench as the 4/5 makes sense. Hayward nursing hammy, keep his mins sub 25 and hopefully those 2 can outscore Boston bench led by Pritchard, Hauser and Horford. Maybe they just need more touches and the 2nd unit will get them back on track.

[JMAC3]

No Derrick White or Horford tonight for Boston.

No Derrick White or Horford tonight for Boston.

lol, won't matter. pritchard will destroy whoever is guarding him.
tatum will do his usual 44 points on 14-18 from the field

Read on Twitter

Miles in for PJ

[SWedd523]

I can't be mad at Gordo for playing through injury considering how much grief he gets for being a Sick Call Ranger, but damn that man needs to do something useful

[GoBobs]

I can see a loss between 30 and 50 pts coming. You never know, which is why I never actually bet on sports. I am starting to think half our guys are getting paid on the side to throw ever other game.

[Liver_Pooty]

Gordon has a little more pep in his step tonight.

[JustBuzzin]

LaMelo you sick!
