So, no Kemba though he's off the "disabled list" as is Rob though Thompson will start and if Rob does play surely he'll be on limited minutes. Oh yeah, and Marcus is out tonight, serving a one game suspension imposed by the NBA for threatening a Ref ... but who could blame him? I wanted to kill one or two myself during last night's game!
So we get Waters (nice PG work in his last playing opportunity - much better than Romeo) and Fournier in the backcourt along with Brown, Tatum & Thompson in the front.
Pardon my pessimism but after last night I have to question whether this team can beat this Hornets bunch especially with a built-in excuse of B2B games.
Oh, lost on last night's debacle was the fact that Brown had 39 pts and Pritchard 28 ... two guys with heart that left it on the court trying to win ... if only they could rub off on the others and their coach stop emphasizing threes in favor of ball movement and scoring in the paint we'd have something.
PS: Yes, Tatum is back but he could be a no show on a return from being out. We'll know early if he comes out scoring or defers to Jaylen.

What I want is an comfortable and engaged Fournier. Need to get this team back.
And please, RWill is back. Can we limit the Parker experiment? If I look back at the last few games, his introduction into the lineup have been momentum turners.

Prediction: some of the scrubs play well tonight and the Celtics shock us by winning this game 114 to 105. It’s disappointing though because as bad as his team is I’d rather them miss the playoffs and make the lottery.

Brown a runner for a finger-roll layup ... 11-8 C's Tatum a layup from JB ... 13-8 C's Time Out Hornets! Look like Tatum got away with a blatant pushoff when he received the pass but there was no call and they did not show a replay |

WOW, somebody is in their feelings tonight. CHA shots just aren't falling tonight and no ball movement.
The Celtics are SERIOUS tonight. They are playing some ball led by JB.
NOW, let's keep it up. DON'T LET UP.
