So far so good. Celtics +3 true shot attempts. They seem to be moving the ball OK. Defense has been acceptable.

I guess? Offense seems to be missing the driving. But not the worst I've seen---3pt percentage will level out.

Well, my point is more they haven't no-showed, which was always a possibility given the situation.

Agreed, they are present and it's not bad...this looks like a "play 6-8 good minutes in second half to pull away" kind of game, with any luck.

How do you define no-show? They are playing down to the Hornets at every level.
I guess we're watching two different games. Celtics certainly aren't playing their best, but there's a lot of make miss going on that's keeping the game close.

They are shooting the same pct. I don’t see any hard contests just fake hustle and going through the motions.

If you’re not watching the League Pass in-arena feed, you’re missing an Asian woman on an 8-ft unicycle stacking bowls on her head and feet while vaguely Chinese music that sounds like it came from a racist 1950s Disney cartoon blares over the PA system.

Celtics are getting good looks too, and from better shooters.
No doubt…we are playing the Hornets we better be getting good looks in our sleep. I’m referring specifically to effort which like PkB said has picked up some

Charlotte was 4-6 from 3 in the first and 0-8 from 3 in the second. Defense has some impact, but that's mostly make-miss.

That's got to be the one and only Red Panda. She's been doing halftime shows forever.

Now this team is defending with a purpose. Charlotte can’t even get shots off which really is the choice of the Celtics.

Here
Lazy shot by Tatum, then they had no energy to get the rebound. Good timeout.

Definitely gave up fewer rim attempts that 3rd quarter compared to the first two.
