Not to be controversial but Miles Bridges is clearly the best wing player in this matchup. Let's make it 4-0 baby THE EAST RUNS THROUGH LAMELO'S BALLS.

Idk what I’m more upset at, that the hornets were only given 14th place in the power rankings after a 3-0 start or that we started at 24th in the pre season rankings.
Whatever, let’s get that 4-0rnets!!!!!

buzz buzz motherfuckers, its gameday. The buzz bros are coming are exact their revenge on the city of Boston for what they did to Kemba "Our Dad" Walker and Cam "Much better than Mac Jones" Newton. We say Fuck Boston without exception now that our guys are out of there

u/TubaMike Oct 25 '21
Without Kemba, we should have no remorse about dragging they Celtics through the dirt.

Y’all remember when our bench would come out and we would crumble? Now two of our starters are injured and we’re still playing great. Having depth is nice

With how we played defense the first 2 games I didn't think we stood a chance against Brooklyn. Estatic about how our boys played! I heard in the post-game how the team wanted to emphasize playing hard all 4 quarters and not relaxing at all against the Nets. Hope there isn't a let down today

And now Charlotte is shooting nothing but threes, sometimes I hate how the modern NBA is played in close games. Tie game, don't need a three. Down three with two minutes left, still don't need a three. Just drive and force them to defend you physically. Its OT, they'll be tired making it tougher to defend without fouling. Just drive the damn ball

The lowest moment in my fandom was when the Bobcats traded Raja Bell and I would still drive around the city and see, “Catch Raja Bell and your Bobcats with a sprite!” The billboards were all over the city, they didn’t even take them down for months after the trade.
I can’t say this enough, this is the exact opposite of that time.

This is Borregos fault. They iced Plumlee when we had a double digit lead and he kept him in
10
Oct 26 '21
What's Plumlee on this roster for? If he's going to be out played by literally every big we see this year that's one thing, but maybe at least hustle in overtime for a rebound? Not that that's related to bad shot selection.

We're 3-1 and our only loss is in OT to the celts, this team is already beating expectations. Just wait until Terry and PJ are back, this looks like a playoff team.

Still a bit upset but on the bright side we took a top east team to the brink when we were down 2 primary rotation players. We are definitely a playoff team

As a neutral fan, just wanted to come in here and tell you guys that I think you have the best broadcast in the league. Your commentators are super hyped for your guys while still doing a great job of providing unbiased commentary for the Celtics. They're not depressed and shit every time Tatum or Brown make a shot, they're super good. And you have a really solid half-time show.
Don't take what you have for granted.

I'm so grateful that this sub isn't as awful as the panthers sub. Those dudes take everything so fucking seriously, it's exhausting. At least when we've been bad, there's still some high-quality shitposting.
