Game Thread – Celtics @ Hornets – 7:00PM, Mon, Nov. 20, 2023

Charlotte last in the NBA on defense. Lamar Stevens might score 15 points tonight.

Yeah, after watching last game that means nothing to me. They were in a slugfest with a team with all their players out. We'll see what happens.

All their players out - you know Bane and JJJ are really good players, right?

That's 2 of their franchise cornerstones. The reigning DPOY, who was on Team USA this past summer. Both of them are all-star caliber players.

You named 2 guys out of their whole roster. Yeah, they had a couple of NBA players on their team that day. You're right. You know what I meant. That game shouldn't have been close and we almost lost.

My point was, I'm not dismissing the hornets just because they also suck and we should win because we are missing two of our key guys on a night of a back to back and we just almost lost a game we had no business losing yesterday.

Tatum needs a get right game, not his best effort these past two. This may be just what the doctor ordered for him

[KillahGhostface]

I’ll never understand trying to change peoples mind with every post.

[shackles10]

Tatum never plays well against the Hornets from my memory so we're probably in really big trouble

[Celts17Pride]

For the record, I would start Holiday, Mykhailiuk, Brown, Tatum and Porzingis tonight. Keep Pritchard, Hauser in their roles of coming off the bench.

I put the probability of this happening at 0.2%

I definitely hope to see some extended Svi time tonight. It's a court he knows well.

So.. why not figure out what 2 NON regular players come in first and most often?

After our starting 4, we have Hauser and PP. That's 6 players..

What I want isn't the same as what I think. But I expect Hauser to start, PP, then I actually want and think Banton will be the next in line. Not sure if it will Kornet or Queta after that. then somehow SVI sneaks in there.

Am I wrong??

KP in tonight. I saw it last night too where he looked to come up gimpy for a bit but apparently it was nothing

Are we that good that we can sustain 2 Starter-level players Out, in spurts?

[GoGreen]

Hmm, got a feeling Cs might have a another stinker tonight. B2b vs a bad team? Wouldn't surprise me

Definitely will be something like that.
I Think both Queta and Kornet have to play, with Horford Out.

Would Love to see Mazzulla play a 10-Man Rotation.

Hornets giving up 115 regardless unless the Celtics are even more trash than last night. They don't play any defense at all. They will want a track meet so if the Celtics D up it should be easy buckets.

Miles Bridges may be a terrible human but he is a very good ball player. I think we can’t assume anything about this team right now with his return. Charlotte has enough talent if healthy to beat the Celtics on a back to back if they get big games from Ball, Hayward and Bridges. I would usually think this to be a scheduled loss for Cs but this year feels different.

[fallguy]

I think we blow them out.

[Gant]

Pritchard's going to get his three point shot back one of these nights...

the way I see it, one of the following scenarios is the most likely outcome tonight:
1. the Celtics blow the Hornets the **** out
2. the Celtics win a close one
3. the Hornets win a close one and we piss our pants
4. the Hornets blow the Celtics the **** out and we piss *and also* poop our pants

I'm somewhat confident in the Celtics, but looking at the options, I'm not sure I'm going to be wearing pants.

Boo Bridges. Boo.
And if Mark Williams goes off, please be aware it won't be for the first time, he does that now.

I think there is a 5th option. Boston goes back and forth all game. Pulls away in the end to win by double digits.. Neither too close but not enough for a blowout.

[Homerclease]

Walsh and Davidson have been playing well in Maine, I wonder if they get a look tonight with Pritchard struggling and the 3 headed wing depth of Stevens, Brissett and Svi not really giving much either

[BK_2020]

Hayward vs. Hauser deathmatch tonight. Hayward has been horrible so I like our chances.
