Hornets (11-24) at Celtics (11-20) Game #32 1/5/15

[Redz]

This is just ridiculous. Put Smart and Young in. What do we have to lose at this point?

But we're only two games out of the playoffs 

[jpotter33]

What really irritates me more than anything is these are the games that Smart & Young should be logging heavy minutes...not many on this team care right now. Might as well work on developing the young guys and see what you have, rather than playing guys who won't be on this team in six months.

Smart and others need to play...getting torched w/ guys who mean nothing for the future of this team is even more of a waste.

This. Our vets looking lifeless and getting their hineys spanked isn't really helping their trade value. At least Smart plays hard all of the time and doesn't have this lifeless look like the guys on the floor right now.

I want to keep watching

I really do

It will be worth it when Stevens puts Smart and Young on the court, together, with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

AB is the worse passing SG in the league.

Actually those aren't passes.  Bradley fumbled the ball and it goes close to a Celtic so you assume it's a pass.
Assume nothing. Pass the guiness

You could be right, hard to tell what half these scrubs are doing

20 point CHA lead and I turn off the TV

Just no excuse. This game is over. This season is over. Give Young and Smart big minutes, period.

They might legitimately play better than what we have out there right now.

[SHAQATTACK]

Getting stomped

By a worthless team minus Al Jefferson at the Garden

Holy smokes

[Surferdad]

Does Pressey drive anyone else nuts? The guy comes in and jacks up more shots than anyone I've ever seen. Wish he would stick to passing the ball and stop being Allen Iverson.

How can a player who's shooting in the low 300s over close to 1200 minutes of NBA playing time not drive anyone crazy? He's a waste of a roster spot and I don't see any reason why he's playing at all.

As best I can tell, Stevens is currently preoccupied with Turner and Bradley starting and Smart coming off the bench at the two, which means he needs a pg.  Nelson is out, so it's Pressey.

Why he just doesn't go with a three guard rotation?  Probably the same reason Wright has gone from being the best big off the bench for a Western conference playoff team to barely playing for ea Eastern conference lottery dweller.

Because it seems that everyone has to play, no matter what. I bet we have the fewest DNP-CDs in the NBA this season.

Not impressed with Stevens. He really has no idea what he is doing in the NBA. It's been more than a season and his approach is NOT WORKING.

[jpotter33]

Walker is playing All-Star ball right now. Wow.

[dreamgreen]

Smart is the best 3 point shooter on the team these days lol

[MBunge]

It seems silly to complain about Stevens when the players are sucking like this but maybe if he had established an intelligible rotation and demanded accountability from players, they wouldn't come out and fail like this.

[jpotter33]

YAY!

[shrinkage36]

Every time I see Bass come in, my depression level goes up.

Glad we finally got James Young into the game...I guess we had to see if the "Fighting C's" could cut the 18 point lead to 10...Took 8 minutes to figure out that wasn't happening by the coaching staff.

Let's now LEAVE THE YOUNG GUYS IN.
