This is a trouble game...WARNING WARNING...DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

Boston not playing well...conducts a meeting to discuss how to be less selfish. They will be coming out to prove themselves. We are coming off a decent quality win and it’s almost Christmas.

Hope we keep them pinned down, but I see a loss coming.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I think you're probably right, this matchup has bad loss written all over it.

I'd love it if the team meeting just makes Boston implode even faster though, guess it all just depends on the character of their guys. Way too many mouths to feed, somebody on a contract year (or young player angling for big extension) will have to sacrifice their $$$ for the greater good. I feel like it's up to Rozier/Hayward/Tatum to give a little, because Kyrie/Brown strike me as the type who will be the most unhappy if they take a backseat.

i dont' think its about paycuts or pride or anything

they kinda suck at playing together, they can't make open shots, and horford somehow ended up being their most important player while everyone was focusing on the perimeter guys

probably still run us off the floor though...

Swap Hayward and Batum and you fix both teams issues :D

otoh Vince Carter 16/7 in 25ish mn during the Detroit-Atlanta game (not finished yet). And Hawks leading.

So far, so good

23/23, Parker in

Kyrie and Kemba show

Hawks won against Detroit btw if anyone cares.

2 fouls for Cody, 2 fouls for Marvin. Gonna look ugly if MKG gets early foul trouble as well

Tough game for Bridges right now. Might bring Bacon in.

Some pick n pop for Hernangomez some day maybe ?

Last time Kemba played this well in the 1st qtr he couldn't hit anything for the rest of the game. Here's hoping that doesn't happen again

How can Stevens keep Brown on the court untill he gets his 4th ? He was the difference maker so far. Ty bud.

More MKG, Borrego...

lolz. Coach benches Batum because he cant box out Hayward. Miles comes in and he is lost on the first zone defense and leaves Tatum wide open. Oh well.

7' mn for MKG. Well, obviously this one was listed as a loss by coaching staff.

Good night people

JB might want to start practicing or focusing on defense. It seems like every legit offensive team has a 70 point half on us.

he's trying to move to a switch-everything style of defense but this roster just can't do it

outside of kemba and mkg, not one can be trusted :lol:

looks like the jeremy lamb good3weeksoftheyear is over soon too

38% FG is nowhere near good enough. 17% from 3 :lol:
