Game On! Hornets @ Celtics - November 10, 2017

the refs are giving them every chance.

Good D by Morris avoiding the foul.

great D by Morris on Walker.

And the monster board by, who else, Rozier.

same place as we were at 14 seconds or so ago.  Give them the layup, no 3s.

3.5 sec left.  That's enough for an inbound and a quick pass before the shot or a dribble and shot or fake and shot.

What a miraculous win!

Wow. They find a way.

Larkin gets the game ball tonight.

Wow!!!

WE WIN!!! CELTICS WIN!!!

No Horford, no Irving, No problem.

I think we have a pretty good coach too. Ya think?

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined they would win this game the way it was going.

A win is a win is a win.  Now we have to worry about Kyrie and how long he may be out.

Have a great weekend. See you all next game

Rosalie

Fabulous win.

I hope Kyrie is ok with just a broken nose and doesn't have a concussion.

Nice posting with you all.

Outstanding defense by Morris on Kemba on that potential game winner.

Jayson Tatum is indeed Paul Pierce 2.0.

Tatum is going to end up like what Kawhi Leonard is to the Spurs.

Gyro, it will make you sick. Just let me know if you think we were just a bunch of homers with these ref''s or if you think they were as bad as we did!!

The Celtics have now won 11 in a row, and they are doing it with rebounding and defense. I remember last year that rebounding was a major issue; now they rank second in rebounding differential in the league. A HUGE improvement. They are also first in team defense, a fact that I am sure everyone here is aware of. Lots of potential here....I don't think we are ready to compete with the Warriors yet, but who knows....one injury to them and we might just be ready.

The improvement in the rebounding department is not surprising because Ainge got taller and longer players in the off-season.

Thats true. Baines is a beast. However, I think thats only part of the story. The other part is desire. Rebounding is hard work. If you don't want the rebound more than the other guy it won't much matter how tall you are.
