Hornets (30-31) at Celtics (32-30) Game #63 4/28/21

[footey]

Tatum still has tendency to gum up the works on offense. 

[footey]

I want Rob to be on court with Fournier.

We need Fournier  to get his groove back.

[liam]

Waters with 5 assists and 0 turnovers!

[Ogaju]

I can live with some of the mistakes we made down the stretch there.  I felt like we were trying a bit too hard, maybe pressing a bit... but given the awful effort of the last few games, I find this preferable.  Nesmith plays reckless as hell, but frankly I think we need some of that right now.

Of more concern to me is the fact that Jaylen obliterated the Hornets in the first quarter and then got one shot in the second.  We reverted to Tatum ball, and I thought we built the lead in large part because we WEREN'T resorting to that in the first quarter.  That kind of offense is always available late in the clock if necessary, but I really dislike using it as the go-to option unless Tatum is hot... like Jaylen was before we iced him.

Tatum is a ball hog

[SCeltic34]

Terrible transition D by Fournier.  Pick the ball up.

[radiohead]

This was my fear with the lackluster end to the first half. Great timeout by Brad.

[Goldstar88]

This just in... Waters is a defensive liability.

[liam]

We have less turn overs more rebounds more shots and it's a five point game.


16-6 in free throws is the only thing the Hornets are doing better than us.

[yelkao]

When is Fournier gonna start being good?

[liam]

Losing at the line!

[slamtheking]

I step away for a few minutes and the lead is cut to 5.  what happened?

[liam]

When is Fournier gonna start being good?

With his new team next year!

[Ogaju]

Tatum for LeBron, who says no?

[slamtheking]

geez, they almost missed that call too.  refs are way behind what's going on

[SCeltic34]

It'd be nice if we could have these very long stretches of terrible offensive play.  I'd like to think that we have enough talent to prevent this from happening on a nightly basis.
