Hornets (25-23) at Celtics (24-25) Game #50 4/4/21

[Silas]

Kemba and Jayson 0 for 12 for 3s.  Stop shooting them and get assists.

[slamtheking]

pretty solid first half.  only complaints were the early pattern of bricking away from 3 and Jaylen's return in the second quarter with his head up his butt.  other than that and some needed improvement in the defense and rebounding, we looked decent.

good to see Romeo on the floor and giving a solid performance.

[Ogaju]

I am surprised that Romeo got in the game without fanfare?

[Silas]

Payton another strong first half.

[Silas]

Cs with only 3 turnovers, excellent ball control.

If Grande is commentating for NBC Sports Boston, who's commentating for the Sports Hub? Maxwell by himself?

[ozgod]

Kemba and Tatum 5-18 and 0-12 from 3. I guess that means they are 5-6 from 2 which is a positive

And the C’s are up by 15 ?

I brought it up because it's an indication they're not letting their bad shooting affect their defense which they have in the past.

[Ogaju]

Cs need to run some And one drills...get McHale the king of And Ones to teach these Cs the art of the And One.

[radiohead]

Excellent way to end the half. I hope we see more Romeo in the 2nd.

Sometimes the 3s just aren't falling. They both made the mistake of opening up the game by firing away, but they were able to get better shots inside. Hopefully that will get them going and we can blow it open in the 3rd.

It also shows just how important acquiring a 4th scorer was for this team. Fournier's shooting this game has been enormous. It will be a homerun of a trade if Danny is able to re-sign him.

Payton another strong first half.

Just a great IQ and a knockdown shooter. He needs to pull the trigger on those pull-ups, probably my only complaint. He’s got a shot to be special with his work ethic.

Most impressive Fournier or Langford?

Langford. Because it's his first game in like a year.

Yeah, he’s rare in that I want him shooting more!

[Celtics Mike]

An excellent 2nd Q performance. Good to see Celtics with a decent lead at the half.
