Hayes was clearly moving and up in the air at that. How in the world is that a charge??

Good question. Wish I knew the answer!

Right ankle sprain for Smart. He's available to return, according to Celtics

Great news

Zion is special. But he needs to lose some of that weight this offseason if he wants to play a long career. Just feels like at times he's sluggishly going up and down the court. Could be more athletic for sure

Careful, social media will be out in force against you for fat shaming. (There were many articles the other day about people up in arms for the ESPN commentators suggesting he could stand to lose a little weight).

People over react. He's not fat. But being 6'6" and 285 and how high he jumps. His knees won't take it. He'd also get quicker and maybe jump higher. Which is scary.

I'm against fat shaming myself, but I'm just talking about it from a basketball standpoint and his injury risk. Considering what Zion's already been through injury-wise, he risks further injury if he goes up and lands on one leg (as Jay Williams mentioned a few days ago, "putting all 285 pounds of force into that one leg")

ESPN guys were talking about it from a basketball standpoint too. It's absurd these days the outrage by proxy.

Ok, these are some ridiculous "charge" calls...

[hwangjini_1]

crap a vous....1-9 from 3 point land and walker 0-6.

celts will pick up their shooting. and pels wont shot 50% from 3 point land going forward.

and if they do, well, hats off to them.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Man, this is among the worst basketball the Cs have played this year. Turnovers and misses left and right, while NO is making lots of stuff.

[jpotter33]

Okay, if you're calling "charge" calls on Kemba and Smart there, how is Zion not "charging" every time he throws his body into the chest of his defender?

[blink]

Zion too strong for Jaylen.  We need to switch Grant onto him.

whoops, wait Grant is playing Center....uggg

[CelticSooner]

Zion’s already getting superstar calls (or non calls) btw

[Sketch5]

Zion already getting Star calls. Looked like a good block by Smart

[jpotter33]

Great defense by the group there.

[jambr380]

For the love of god, can we stop playing Wanamaker? He was okay to start the season, but is just awful now. I would like to see a lot more of Edwards and Langford - at least there is potential there.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Great D by Green!

And wow, yeah, Zion's already being treated like he's MJ.

[jpotter33]

Yeah, these are already crap star calls for Zion. Joke refs.
