Game 80: CHA at BOS

Game chat: #Game 80: CHA at BOS - Chat - Hornets Planet

Need this one if there’s a chance to jump up. Seeing two different lines, one has BOS as a 6.5-point favorite, one has BOS as a 4.5-point favorite. Let’s stage the upset!

No EC and Dell sucks but a win will make up for it

TheDorkLord

and I think Coby is not going to play?

cltblkhscoach

He was listed as probable

Mich_Mercer

I thought he was out.

I loved seeing Ashely… I know she’s pulling for us and is pumped.

TheDorkLord

I don't have the greatest feeling about this game

cltblkhscoach

Good start at least

Well hell I see he's out damn

woodsy23

Getting a pretty shitty bounce at the minute

cltblkhscoach

Josh Green is gonna be big off the bench

Mich_Mercer

Lamelo is going off. I love him hitting those midrange / runners

woodsy23

6 offensive rebounds for celtics through the opening 6 mins

Mich_Mercer

Dude is killing us.

cltblkhscoach

Celtics are switching Moussa well and taking him from under the basket

Gift and curse when you can switch 1-5

+1 1
TheDorkLord

Grant

cltblkhscoach

Grant Williams!

Didn't think about this being a revenge game for him, but that's a good point

These minutes are critical

Great quarter!

TheDorkLord

Love this start, great quarter

cltblkhscoach

Where is everyone else man? Biggest game of the year

Vet_Picksetter

Coach I'm lurking

powellrmp

Melo ball! Flexing!

Vet_Picksetter

Kon is so off

Steelmatic

Coby must’ve been a late scratch. I saw he was probable earlier also.

cltblkhscoach

Kon is pressing to me

GoBobcats24

I mean he just missed some shots

Vet_Picksetter

But he's been un-Kon like recently.

cltblkhscoach

Boston came out on a mission

To start the quarter

GoBobcats24

It's the back injury man

Lower back injuries suck

cltblkhscoach

Tatum started this BS

100 2
TheDorkLord

with Scott Foster anything can happen though

Tatum has been getting away with a good bit this game

GoBobcats24

The fact that was even called a double foul instead of a foul on Tatum is wild

100 1
Vet_Picksetter

No doubt Kon's hurting/hitting a tough patch Shooting under 40% in 4 of the last 6 games. Would love for the national audience to see the Kon we know and love

cltblkhscoach

They're trying to get him going by giving him minutes when the Celtics 2nd unit is out there, but it'll come at the right time

Oh Lamelo

Sheesh

GoBobcats24

Absolute walk by Tatum there

cltblkhscoach

Tatum did that to get himself going

I like Grant and Moussa playing together, that helps on the switches against Queta

woodsy23

Another bad screen for the collection

cltblkhscoach

Yeah that was a moving screen. Easy call

ray

Good shot

Thats what we need

cltblkhscoach

Damn Derrick White getting hot

meloFan

Just Livin Lamelo Loco coach

rofl 1
cltblkhscoach

Kon heating up!

Damn Miami

Chef

Want to avoid atl and Miami in the playin

cltblkhscoach

It doesn't matter where they're seeded they will be hell

TheDorkLord

wtf

100 1
meloFan

such bs

cltblkhscoach

Good grief

Chef

That would be my strategy in a jump ball too, with my vertical

ray

Correct me if im wrong but if the raptors lose 2 of their next 4 games and we win 2 of tbe next 3 including this one we will most likely play them as the 7th seed in the first round of playin

Chef

I'd probably just try and box them out

meloFan

This is a 48 minute game, even the bench is gritty for celtics

Chef

Moose needed to be a scorer on that last possession

And that one

Can't just be the swinging door

ray

Geez

cltblkhscoach

This is where missing Coby kills us

+1 2
Vet_Picksetter

Double alley!

cltblkhscoach

Lol wow

Yall are ahead

Kalkmiller

Give em 1 each :rofl:

cltblkhscoach

I like how Coach Lee isn't taking timeouts with Boston on a run

Great response to them taking the lead

Chef

That was a key 5 pt run there. Celtics were stealing all the mojo

100 1
Steelmatic

We need Miller and Kon to finish off this quarter without picking up another foul.

cltblkhscoach

We've got to figure it out 2nd half when we go to the bench again. Someone has to step up

Chef

I don't understand how everyone says the Celtics are winning the east and 2nd favored for champions. I don't see them making it through the playoffs against size

woodsy23

Grab of the arm there surely

cltblkhscoach

Damn foul man

Chef

I'm good with that as long as it is on both ends

woodsy23

Probably evens it out

cltblkhscoach

His toe is on the line smh

What the hell

ray

Tf

Steelmatic

Clearly out of bounds

Chef

What's wrong with that celtics players hair? At first I thought it was like charlie v. But I see hair on his head

Vet_Picksetter

Yeah also ame skin tone as Charlie Villanueva

ray

Fun fact Charlie villanueva is jordan walshes mentor

+1 1
Vet_Picksetter

How curved is that shoe? Not enough evidence to overturn from that angle I saw

ray

This is why you dont listen to the fans

Chef

If that gets overturned it's reason 1 million why they need to get rid of reviews

ray

He has alopecia

Chef

I thought that was zero hair?

ray

Not sure

cltblkhscoach

Stupid challenge

ray

Thank god

Vet_Picksetter

SAME

Don't listen to the fans is the lesson

Y'all must be way ahead of me lol

WOAH

Nice block

I js caught up to yall lmao

Chef

Tatum works the refs too much

meloFan

how is that interference?

not*

woodsy23

B mill :weary_face:

Vet_Picksetter

Lovin the show from Melo

cltblkhscoach

How did BMill miss that damn

Man Eric Collins would have been going crazy that first half

100 2
Chef

Ashley back on the hornets beat

Vet_Picksetter

I had this vague notion that something was missing from my life, and I'm fairly sure now that it was Ashley ShahAhmadi

100 2
Chef

Bet that is kinda cool for all of them

GoBobcats24

What a first half for our guys and honestly we didn't even play that great outside of LaMelo

woodsy23

Thought that was a much better quarter from Kon than we’ve seen for a few games

GoBobcats24

Also this is the 30ppg Lamelo from last season but with weapons around him

Look out world

Mich_Mercer

I think we Lamelo should be an mvp candidate. He’s elite

Vet_Picksetter

I love the fact that Reggie Miller mentioned the Hornets' health to start the broadcast. Too often I've heard that go unmentioned in explanations of the Hornets' turn around.

100 1
Mich_Mercer

100% health… always has been. The talent has been there

We had the worst injury luck… it was insane

Chef

There's been a whole lot of maturity and coaching too

meloFan

That should be a foul on queta?

Chef

I'm getting old, needed this game to start at 7

rofl 1
Vet_Picksetter

Boston, LaMelo owns you

I'm feeling 10 points from Josh Green in the second half. Who's with me? Ray?

ray

I was gone but I very much agree

cltblkhscoach

Damn it Tatum

Vet_Picksetter

Melo!!!

woodsy23

Unreal

Vet_Picksetter

Chino THRILLS

cltblkhscoach

My word LaMelo Lafrance

rofl 2
meloFan

the father of LaOne

BALL

cltblkhscoach

Celtics looking to make a push

Vet_Picksetter

Moussa with only one offensive rebound so far. This Queta guy seems like a good physical match for him

Chef

It will be interesting to see in the playoffs what moose can do. When everyone is playing super hard. A lot of times he feasts on lazy regular season intensity

heart 1
Vet_Picksetter

I've always argued that NCAA tournament performance is a little overvalued when evaluating draft talent. I want the guy who's also going to play hard in a midweek game in front of no fans in December.

Chef

Don't misunderstand, I love it. Only that everyone picks it up in May

Steelmatic

It’s gonna take a full 48 min effort tonight.

Vet_Picksetter

Miller time!

woodsy23

Need Brandon to get hot here help carry the load

cltblkhscoach

Yes sir!

Lets go mills

Love seeing Melo fouls

ray

Dude one of my fondest memories at a Hornets game is brandon miller passing the ball with me pre game

You just cant hate the guy

Melo DRAW fouls

cltblkhscoach

If Melo starts getting to the line consistently it's over

Unforgivable

Geez

Vet_Picksetter

Oh crap tough swing there

meloFan

Sion that aint it dog come on

ray

Good deflection

Oh nvm

cltblkhscoach

Man shit

ray

Damn it

Steelmatic

That hurts.

TheDorkLord

that hurts

Vet_Picksetter

Sion didn't hear footsteps?

Needed better spatial awareness

meloFan

If he doesnt touch the rim that goes in

ray

Can't have that happen

Vet_Picksetter

Time for Josh Green to come in and get his 10.

GoBobcats24

That felt like a pivotal moment there

Gotta respond

Mich_Mercer

Of course they’d hit a 3 there

meloFan

If they show You Me and Tuscany one more time, I am gonna lose my shit

Mich_Mercer

I have a Hornets feeling… well be up this whole game and lose

GoBobcats24

Nah we are winning this have faith

Mich_Mercer

Mich_Mercer

We will get the ball inbounds at the end

GoBobcats24

We will win by double digits

Mich_Mercer

Yes

Good response, exactly what we needed

Vet_Picksetter

Nice hustle Josh

cltblkhscoach

2 for a quarter!

That's my guy

Crap, don't say lamelo and ankle in the same sentence

cltblkhscoach

Seriously

woodsy23

Ridiculous couple of minute stretch

100 1
Vet_Picksetter

Okay that blew but I'm keepin' the faith

GoBobcats24

That missed layup by Sion caused all of this

But we will come back

Well…

But that was a beautiful shit by Kon how that came out I will never know

They got loose for some open 3s

TheDorkLord

this is why I drink

powellrmp

Huge fourth quarter from Kon coming up

Mich_Mercer

I feel that way… but there is always that little bird in my ear that says… this is all a dream.

powellrmp

Shhhhhhh

cltblkhscoach

Someone has gotta step up. Honestly I hope it's our defense

TheDorkLord

yes, we need Kon to go off in the 4th… would be great

Mich_Mercer

It would be nice to have Coby White… we really miss him

Is he ok? It’s weird for him to sit such an important game

100 1
powellrmp

Kon will go off in the fourth

ray

Josh green will make 3 threes in a row

Vet_Picksetter

Nice D Kon

Mich_Mercer

Miller will go OFF!

cltblkhscoach

They said it's a groin injury but I don't even remember Coby getting hurt

Mich_Mercer

Isn’t that what he had before?

GoBobcats24

No was calfs

powellrmp

Yeah that’s kind of weird with Coby. I hadn’t heard anything about it

Uh oh! Time for the bulls to send us back another 2nd round pick!

rofl 1
GoBobcats24

Man Kon just can't get anything to go

powellrmp

Yeah the fact Coby can’t go this game is a bad sign

Yeah. Don’t like the way this is going fellas

Vet_Picksetter

Sion!

ray

Sion only shoots lightly contested shots, noted.

Mich_Mercer

Gotta hold on here……

Vet_Picksetter

Hope

woodsy23

Let’s start hitting some of these wide open threes

ray

Well theres something

woodsy23

Ok

Vet_Picksetter

Yes Kon

fire 1
woodsy23

Dagger

Ouch

Vet_Picksetter

Man that's tough

GoBobcats24

Gotta bring Lamelo now

Vet_Picksetter

Any word on LaMelo?

GoBobcats24

That was a great defensive possession

cltblkhscoach

Damn it man

GoBobcats24

Gotta keep fighting we can come back

Mich_Mercer

This sucks

GoBobcats24

Lamelo Ball in the 4th quarter, it's gonna be magical

cltblkhscoach

We are missing some good shots

Steelmatic

Really missing Coby tonight. We need Melo back in the game ASAP

GoBobcats24

That's what we did to lose to Celtics in Charlotte

Mich_Mercer

I really hope we don’t matchup with these guys in the playoffs

GoBobcats24

Would rather be 7 seed than none

cltblkhscoach

If we have Coby tonight though I still think we would be in the lead right now. Not scared of anyone

They're scared of us

ray

On the brightside pistons are guaranteed 1 seed so they probably will rest their starters when we play them or atleast limited minutes

cltblkhscoach

Hopefully whatever Coby has doesn't linger

Vet_Picksetter

Lid on the bucket

woodsy23

Nothing going our way now folks

And that’s probably game

ray

I believe in a run

Vet_Picksetter

Call me old-fashioned but I want to get something going towards the basket.

Mich_Mercer

This is Hornets basketball… that we are used to.

GoBobcats24

Just some absolute bullshit

Mich_Mercer

It’s going to be super frustrating in this playin game.

GoBobcats24

Like I don't understand how that Sion miss just basically handed the Celtics the win but you could feel it at the time

cltblkhscoach

How many 3s have just gone in and out. That's just how it goes

GoBobcats24

That's the last week and a half honestly for this team

I'm just afraid that we will have to deal with Philly and that sucks

ray

If we beat new york and the pistons (the pistons should be easy considering they are guaranteed one seed) and if the raptors lose to the knicks and the heat we are 7th seed

But do we even want to be 7th seed

Icky_Thump

Kon should take some time off or something sheesh

meloFan

I think Raptors take 6

Vet_Picksetter

How was that not a foul on the Celtics

PALMING?

Mich_Mercer

Nothing is going right. Looked so good and now we can’t do anything

meloFan

fuckers are getting so lucky with rebounds too

Steelmatic

Well the Miami loss keeps some distance behind us. We are going to need to finish off the last two games and hope Orlando loses one to Minnesota or boston. Boston likely will be resting against them though.

GoBobcats24

How many balls are we going to have goin all the way down and out

cltblkhscoach

So many in and out damn

100 2
Mich_Mercer

Everything

Vet_Picksetter

I've never seen missed shots touch so much rim

Icky_Thump

The Boston hometown announcers are talking big shit

100 1
Vet_Picksetter

Vusevic is trying to help us

Mich_Mercer

I hope we can get the pistons instead of the Celtics. It’s almost better to lose the first playin game.

Icky_Thump

"The Celtics gave the Hornets a taste of playoff basketball. They took it to a level they couldn't get to"

Mich_Mercer

If we end up 7-8

cltblkhscoach

Man whatever they ain't all that

meloFan

Well they can go suck a big :eggplant:

Mich_Mercer

They are the team I don’t think we can beat in a 7 game series

I’d just rather be the 8 seed than the 7

GoBobcats24

I put this loss on Sion James

Steelmatic

White woulda made a big difference. The struggles with Melo off the floor killed us.

GoBobcats24

Guy has to stop missing chippys it's a theme

cltblkhscoach

Hey man, it's all right. When we have all our horses we can play with anyone

100 1
GoBobcats24

Yeah but that relegates us to the playin

meloFan

We need another Big and our 6th man to play

cltblkhscoach

We'll see man, I think we still have a shot at 6. Just need to get some help

GoBobcats24

6ers have 2 guaranteed wins plus Houston left

Raptors maybe

But right now we are 9th

So it would be 9/10 vs the Heat of course

Who would be destined to shoot 50% from 3 against us

meloFan

I think we can take 6ers if refs don't become a squeeky toy with Embiid

and let us be physical

GoBobcats24

I just hope we end up at least 7th or 8th

If we are 9th or 10 we would have to win 2

Originally sent in Game 80: CHA at BOS
GoBobcats24

We need to get Kon going again

IDK it's just crazy that we have been a top 5 team in the league for a majority of the season at this point and could still miss

cltblkhscoach

It was the same way in 2016. We ended up in a 4-way tie for 3rd in the East. And ended up #6. Lol

GoBobcats24

Difference here is that we could miss completely and end up with 14th pick

But I believe in our guys

cltblkhscoach

Big picture it's still a win-win, but at the same time you can't take any opportunity for granted
