Celtics (4-1) at Hornets (2-2) Game #6 11/1/24

This charlotte team is very unlikeable.

[celticinorlando]

Wondering at what point the Celtics will start playing defense. They have been very poor most of this season and again tonight.

[jpotter33]

Boy - that is frustrating. Tatum wasn't even close to the baseline there with the ref literally RIGHT THERE. How do you make that terrible of a call in that situation, which robbed us of two points?

[celticinorlando]

Just an awful second period on defense. Charlotte just shooting 3s.

Teams 50 percent shooting in the first half for the 4th time this season. That has to be fixed

[blink]

Queta!!

[Roy H.]

Fun game, but we need to pick up the defensive intensity.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics play a little bit of defense esp from 3 and they win.

[jpotter33]

Yeah, the defense thus far this year has been fairly lackluster. We've seemed to be satisfied with just out-scoring opponents and not playing all that hard defensively, leading to us being middle of the pack defensively thus far.

[tenn_smoothie]

Good to see Queta and Walsh at least getting some floor time, but Joe is playing Tatum, Brown and White too many minutes.
Losing a part of a big lead is normal I suppose in a long season, but losing almost the entire 17-point lead is not good.
Like to see us tighten the screws on defense in the 2nd half.
I'd also like to see way less of Tatum's dribble-dribble-dribble-step-back 3's, but I might as well be waiting to win the lottery as that to happen.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics playing some dumb basketball

[celticinorlando]

Cs can get to the rim at will but yet they just want to chuck from 3 when shots are not falling

[jpotter33]

Wayyyyy too much from Brown. We've got to get Tatum more involved. It's like we go through long stretches of just icing him out where everyone else takes the shots or tries to do it themselves.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics just aren't moving the ball on offense at all.

[tenn_smoothie]

9-29 from 3. Keep jacking 'em up boys.

Is Tillman injured or has his recent middling performances buried him on Joe's bench ?
Gotta keep playing the bench, give them a chance to develop.

[jpotter33]

Okay, that's the second brutally bad call by James Williams tonight. He was the one with the really awful call in Indy last year that said that the big contact to JB's head while shooting was "marginal" and not a foul. Sketchy.
