Celtics (32-28) at Hornets (29-30) Game #61 4/25/21

[CF033]

Not great getting decimated by an already poor Charlotte team missing 2 of its best 3 players.

[slamtheking]

waters missing a 3.  at least we still have that consistency to give us that warm fuzzy feeling

Awful performance and a waste of a Sunday afternoon watching it. 

This team will not make a playoff run this year.  Most likely, they will bow out in the first round.  If they don't, there's zero chance they put up a fight against Brooklyn or Philly.  They just aren't good enough.

Part of me wants this team to get obliterated in the first round so that we can have an excuse to make large scale changes.  If we can find a suitable replacement for head coach I'm perfectly fine with that.

What's the highest draft pick we could feasibly get if we tank the rest of the year? A top-10 pick would go a long way towards netting us a legit star via trade

Please get us a coach that has a clue.  Danny has brought in players and brad still has no idea how to properly manage this team.  Anyone with a pulse will do.

At this point they are going to get embarrassed in the first round but don’t expect Ainge to make major changes.

That sound clip from Brad talking about how well Charlotte is playing, and how he admires their pace is amusing.  How about using all of your brain power figuring out how we can slow that down, and how you can get our team to play with energy, purpose, and cohesion.

This is where I'm at. We're clearly not consistent enough and don't play hard enough to make a deep run this year anyways; we might as well have some long-term benefits by getting obliterated and clearing some of the softness off of our team and reorienting our culture and philosophy.

[Silas]

Pitiful.

By the looks of things in the standings, the C's are very likely going to get obliterated in the first round. And I'm talking about a sweep to either one of the top 3 seeds.

The thing is before these last two or three losses the #4 seed was completely within reach, it may still be.  The team was trending in the right direction.  Then both Timelord and Brown miss games and we are back to the wildly inconsistent and hard to root for Celtics.

There you go Jayson!!!! Money in the bank. Woo!!!

Yeah, Brad just gives credit to the other team at the end of the game and never calls his guys out. Same old, same old....

the line will be we just need to get healthy.  what they need is an infusion of desire to win

[SCeltic34]

TP to everyone who stuck around.  This was one of the most miserable games this season - and we've had a lot of them.

[blink]

why did langford only get mop up minutes today?  He is the one guy that should be out there chasing shooters down, if the main issue was perimeter defense.

It's so strange how the Hornets couldn't get into the paint once Kornet came in.
