Celtics (22-8) at Hornets (13-22) Game #31 12/31/19

[Chief]

Scal and Kyle are just awful on these "most _____ thus decade" questions. In almost every case the guy who played the most years is gonna win it

Scal is a clown.

[nickagneta]

Get Theis out of there.

Why? Because while switched onto a SF that SF scored? Theis has been pretty good so far.

No chance

No chance what? That Theis has been pretty good?

Theis and Kanter are outscoring and outrebounding their center counterparts on the Hornets. Both played great team defense in that half.

Not sure what you are complaining about other than, well, you like to complain.

not the greatest end to the 1st half.  really let them back in the game

Our big man options and most performances have not helped.

Really wasn't on our big men. We allowed several easy shots at the rim--that included defense by Theis, Smart, and Tatum.

Just lazy defense and offense for a 3-4 minute stretch.

Even still, Bradley and Sullinger being the Points and Rebound leaders for the Celtics is insane to me.

Rondo in assists?

Has to be. The time he missed with the ACL tear may have prevented that, though

Edit: if it isn't Rondo, then it 100% must be Smart. No other PG has played anywhere close to 5.5 years

Keep it about the game

Rondo is number 4 in assists for the Celtics all time. He's going to be the assists leader for the decade.

I cant think of anyone close. But it's been awhile since he was here.

Just playing poorly, imo. Nothing personal.

And Charlotte was just jacking up 3's and missing most of them till that stretch. They let Charlotte hang around unfortunately.

Rondo is number 4 in assists for the Celtics all time. He's going to be the assists leader for the decade.

The one issue is that he only played the 2nd half of 2010, 2011, 2012, first half of 2013, and a bit of 2014. Just over 4 total seasons

All the turnover we've had at PG makes him a pretty safe bet, though

[trickybilly]

It's a real shame that Ojeleye isn't a great basketballer. If he was good, he would be great.

Yup, eventually Charlotte started trying to get better shots and attacked the rim a bit more.  But we definitely helped them back in it.
