Game Thread: Celtics @ Hornets

Niceeeeee

So this is Anthony Davis's "Flu game" eh?














*slowly walks away*

Hope that loss discourages even one degenerate C's fan from showing up next season. I know people from Boston that live here and that's understandable, but to be a Louisianian and show up with green? Get outta here.

Hornets outscored Celts 22-12 in the 3rd and had a 17-4 reb advantage.

This confirms why they had GV taking the last shots with Davis on the bench so many games...T...Ta....Tan....:D

I must say, When I left to go out for dinner with the Wife, I expected to come back to a 105-90 loss. Can't wait to see AD's game winner. Also extremely glad I don't have to see that Pelican Tank picture. haha

Great news guys, Robin Lopez increased his defense rebounding numbers from 0 against the Warriors to 2 against the Celtics tonight. Great night for him.

Jason Smith needs to keep the beard.

Earning that check!

Funny that the 2 games that AD is in the game late, he makes a huge play to win the game.

I take it back... Jason looks badass with the beard. He looks nothing like the wicker man haha

It's hard to rebound when your vertical is 6 inches.

Btw 247 is acting you'd think we just fell out of the top 10.

Let me guess, McNamara?

McNamara, Ginsberg, and so on.

I'm losing a lot of respect for those guys. I can't even bother to listen to the podcast ever since the "Heartbreaking win" tweet. It's quite pathetic.

If I ever complain about a win (barring injury), punch me in the face.

Who is Brian Roberts?
and why isn’t he Rondo’s future backup?

-Celtics fan

Looks like Roberts made an impression on someone. :hihi:

I'm coming around to Roberts. To bad he's like 40.

Gotta say. I've given Roberts hell, but seems that he's come around of late.

Bradley was fouling the heck out of Gordon too.

He's still pounding the air out of the ball and taking ill-advised shots, but he does that less frequently than before and is also passing it off for a better shot for someone else. A good bit of growth there.

Honestly I think Davis has lost weight since the summer

McNamara is a ******. I unfollowed him on Twitter, because I'm tired of reading his sarcastic and cynical tweets.

Great match, great win. Gordon really takes good decisions on clutch time.

PD: my opinion in spanish http://pelicanola.blogspot.com.es/20...s-celtics.html

that'll happen over a season. you cut your weight workouts in season to prevent further strain. the offseason he'll bulk up. he's show he has the frame to do so

Guaranteed Oladipo?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooOOOOO OOOOOooooooooooooo THE SKY IS FALLING! THIS TEAM JUST GOT SET BACK TWO YEARS WITH THAT WIN!!

So annoying.

Seriously miss the old h247 run by doherty. These new guys are harveyhornet clones.

It's McNamara's fault. They all just sort of follow suit.

I actually like Mason.

I played ball with Mason in HS, good dude.

Anyone have a good picture of AD after the tip last night? I found one but I'd like the quality to be a little higher.

His legs... That's just freaky looking.

People sweat his upper body strength but the dude legs and core really need the work put in. Upper body'll doesn't let you establish post position. That's about your legs.

Anywho. Anyone got vid of the tip-in?

Post #232 not good enough? You need a youtube vid or something heh?

NBA.com gave it their Play of the Day.

I like how movement was used to force Green to box out Anderson instead of being able to rotate for help defense. Then Gordon draws out Garnett which allows AD the space to get the tip-in. Roberts and Vasquez also were able to bring Lee and Pierce away from the paint to open things up, as well.

Missed the game and at this point in the season i'm just curious about rookies. Darius Millers game is never defined by the box score, just wondering how he played?
