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

[Chief]

 

Doesn't it seem like Marvin Williams should be 40?

He came out with Chris Paul because the Hawks picked Williams over all future hall of fame pg.

[nickagneta]

Yeah, Charlotte sucks but the Celtics defense has a lot to do with that. The effort and passion on that end that was missing against Toronto is back!!!

[Neurotic Guy]

 Nice feed by GH

Can't wait to see what happens with an extended look at this team with all "Big 5" healthy.

Kanter leads NBA bench players at 7.4 rebounds per game.

That's pretty great. When's the last time we had someone that led the league in any kind of rebounding?

well we might not have a double digit rebounder, but JB, JT, EK all over 7 rpg, and GH and DT around 6 per game
so we are doing it by committee, and I am ok with that.  Everyone needs to get after the boards.

Who's the last good one we've had?  Bird? 
I can't think of many. 

[BitterJim]

There's Semi's made 3 for the day

[Fafnir]

Great pass by Tatum there, Theis just didn't hit it.

I mean, we had Shaq but he wasn't exactly elite at that point

Sullinger was a good rebounder. Not elite, but very solid

[Chief]

Get Theis out of there.

Perkins, Big Al, Sullinger, and KG.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Get Theis out of there.

Yeah. He only has one block and one steal so far. He should have 10 of each!!!

[Fafnir]

Get Theis out of there.

For what?

[blink]

20 threes already by the C's....wow

if you look at our shot chart for the 1st half it is all 3s and shots within 5 feet.
The modern nba I guess.

[nickagneta]

Get Theis out of there.

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

Robert Parish

Ok he was a starter, but, I had to say it. It feels like that long since a Celtic big consistently  got points off the glass.
