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

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

The three ball is getting more consistent.  He is good at guarding Giannis. 

But unless we are playing Milwaukee, I'd prefer him to sit in the bench.

Hey nick: what'd I tell ya? 7 in the first half alone!

We're on our way to 10+ pages!

WTG...Jim. We seem to have a real game thread today. Lol.

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.

Keep it about the game

Sure thing! What did Theis do to p--- you off?

Just playing poorly, imo. Nothing personal.

Youve been avoiding answering the questions for a few posts now.

What poor plays did he make?

Daniel Theis is a foul magnet.

What poor plays did he make?

In the 1st half, he looked a step slow.

[Fafnir]

Kemba is so good at pulling up instantly at the 3 point line if he gets even an okay screen.

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

Okay, I just looked it up and 1st and 2nd place aren't even close

The real competition is for #3

[Chief]

Hayward really makes high basketball iq plays.

[Neurotic Guy]

Hayward looks really good.

Yeah the first two years of the decade blew everyone out.

[Fafnir]

Hornets getting too much in transition.

[Neurotic Guy]

Wow -- lost 5 points off that rim in the last few minutes.  But should close this out.

[BitterJim]

Underrated aspect if the "who had the most ____ this decade" questions: 2013 was only 81 games, and 2014 was only 66 games.

That's 17 games that guys like KG, Rondo, and Pierce didn't get a chance to play

[slamtheking]

C's offense is hot crap today.  too many stupid passes and missed shots around the rim
