Green Envy: What Hornets fans said - 10/29


Sorry for this being late. Didn't set my alerts. With that said, the Hornets were looking to start the season 3-0. Unfortunately Avery Bradley and the Celtics had other plans.

Top Three

They can't stay this hot from 3 all night - can they?

Brad Stevens always looks so calm, like he is on Valium or something.

We'll make history next year.

Player of the Game: Bradley goes off

Hey so...can we guard Bradley?

Any ideas who Clifford was talking about when he said players were going off script on defense?

Yeah whoever was guarding Bradley.
Pretty sure the script didn't include him making 16 threes

Full Slate

Their 3rd game in 4 days. We should take the advantage.

3 games in 4 days for both teams? Brutal. That's the kind of matchup where injuries happen. I'm thinking that Boston has the advantage here though. They had last night off.

Should be a good one tonight, always seems to be when these two go at it. At some point we need a Celts-Hornets playoff series.

We'll meet in the ECF sometime

Feel free to defend

Thomas, Bradley, Crowder, and Amir Johnson. Yeah, if they are wide open, they can.

Brad Stevens always looks so calm, like he is on Valium or something.

Guys, give credits to the Celtics too. They are a top team defensively too. But the Hornets are fine. Way better than yesterday.

The Celtics are 4/10 inside the key right now, and only had 2 free throws. Their offense only survive from their early efficiency behind the arc.

Bradley and Johnson already with 2 fouls. Would be cool not to set up for jumpers and play them...

For as badly as we've played tonight being able to go into the half basically tied is huge.

3rd on Bradley. Smart move from MKG, really nice to target those guys.
Hopefully, there will be some game plan to get both Johnson & Bradley their fourth foul asap in the second half. Even without Lamb i dont think they are as deep quality (and chemistry) wise than the Hornets.

New plan = don't let Bradley shoot threes

Also Boston isn't looking like the giant I thought they would be with Horford this season. Cavs will likely walk to the finals once again.

Starting to wonder if the threat of Horford is greater than the reality. He's only got 9 points but it feels like we've completely reoriented our defense around stopping him.

Yeah, don't feel like the Sessions Kemba experiment is working out well. Really don't like Kemba on Bradley.

We can't hit anything and Bradley is out of his kind.

Hey so...can we guard Bradley?

Welp...

We'll make history next year.

That IT to Horford pass was sick.

Avery Bradley deserves this win. Wow.

Good God, just guard Avery Bradley.

They're so deep, I hate trying to out-smallball them. If we weren't reduced to Cody "punching bag" Zeller and Spencer "Dr J-kyl. and Mr Hawes" for post scorers we might have been able to counter better.

I guess the Kemba - Bradley duel was kind of fun, except Bradley did it the whole damn game.
