The Celtics just had more pedigree, poise and a coach who knows how to chip away at a lead given the time remaining.

This celtics team is higher pedigreed in closing than the injured hornets.

Yet this hornets team is making strides.

Monk and bacon are great pieces.
The celts, tho.
Look really ReaLly scary as a gelled unit.
Celts up a point to the Hornets who are not staffed similarly via pedigree with a possession left.
I don't see the Hornets played bone headed at all in this game.
Just a young group on the road.
who has no way to close against a higher pedigreed and actualized group early on like Boston.

The Hornets do not have an answer for the intangibles Boston brings via line up and pedigree.
Both teams are understaffed but coaching and a higher motor pedigree from Boston is why the Hornets lost.
The under staffed Hornets lost to a better under staffed team In the celts.

my wishful side hopes that stevens would be considered/take the job at duke when K retires, but my realistic side will probably have to settle for capel

It's the truth

Kyrie helps,but he's not the reason they winning
Stevens is the main reason tho. Nothing against Kyrie, Stevens is legit GOAT in the making.
:mjpls:interesting development here.
Prior to this game, the Celtics had a 104 offensive rating with Kyrie, this game they only had a 91 offensive rating (to put their offensive performance into perspective, the worst offense in the league has a 94 offensive rating). Their defense was good enough to keep them above water while the Hornets went cold in the second half, because their offense was absolutely putrid.

Meanwhile, the Wizards (without Wall), shytted on the Raptors, away - one of the best teams in the East: shot 47% from the field, 48% from the 3-pt line, and had a better defensive rating without him.

They won cuz the Hornets are a team of knuckleheads...

hornets are a very good sneaky team this year and playing understaffed. Yet totally a high quality team to watch and understaffed due to injury.

have you watched the hornets, breh.

we sucked tonight, but if we beat boston in 6 I wouldn't be surprised either :mjlol: without Batum, our offense doesn't even really exist outside of Kemba playing literally perfect basketball

I'd be the first to admit the Wizards looked better in stretches this year without Wall but the equivalent here would be if the Wizards won without Wall, Beal, and Otto or Gortat.

Stevens runs a great system. They gonna be a problem once they have a full season experience together.

Kyrie is averaging 20 points on 43% shooting or some shyt. He will have the odd great night but Boston strength is having Horford and 2 future all stars in Tatum and Brown.

Kyrie joined a team that finished first im the east last year.

Kobe fags and Lebron haters are hyping him up when hes having an underwhelming season
:mjgrin::mjgrin: You sound upset

When fully staffed and healthy,this hornets team is an oversized explosive problem at every position. Only slight js kemba's size but kemba is too pedigreed at his size to not be successful.

When, batum comes back this team is super scary on paper.
Plus, literally the team you may not wanna play if they figure it out.
