This is absurd. I have NBA package and NBA Tv on YoutubeTV. I paid money to drive to to CLT to see game the other nite. I am now blacked out from the game that is on NBATV channel. With MLB working on the regionals, I hope they all fucking die. I pay good money for the NBA package and YTTV in Durham, but I need Spectrum cable to get the local RSN for Charlotte? Fuck right off

Foul shots aside, Plumlee would be a nice backup center on a good team.

Marcus Smart cracks me up. That one handed catch and pass to Al…

Tatum gets stopped on his three, thinks for a moment, and then just runs through everyone for the dunk.

Must be nice.

Tatum's really seeing the lines to the basket better this year, and taking them aggressively.

It was fun when Tatum's unblockable side-step 3 was his best move, but this new version (where he just glides past everyone and finishes at the rim because he's faster and longer than anyone who could guard him) is pretty nice.

Inside out offense in full effect today, even off offensive rebounds. Very cool.

Yeah, that was completely nuts, right? A guy playing for close at the 3-point line and three other guys between him and the hoop. I honestly can’t figure out how he did that, much less saw that that was available.

Reminds me of you saying the other night that the Charlotte announcers are “fascinated” by the Celtics.

I get the Boston feed, but really like the Charlotte play by play guy.
He is really good. And he seems to talk about their opponent just as much as the Hornets. That’s some serious research to do that. And it must be a great way for viewers to learn about the whole league and the game itself.

Luke Kornet is better than we could have realistically hoped.

Gotta love Malcolm Brogdon
Man Brogdon is so good. Just an absolutely perfect player for this team.
Absolute have to love a guy who gets pitched, “Are you interested in dropping to 6th man / bench mob PG on a truly awesome team?” and he’s like, “Where do I sign?”

Charlotte announcers were talking up his chances for 6th Man of the Year.

Hauser's shot isn't falling, but he's working the boards hard.

I couldn't stand the Charlotte play-by-play guy the other night. Straight out of the Steve Levy over-emote about every little play school of broadcasting.

Second time with Marcus and the one handed catch and pass. New trick?

Watched it after watching an NFL playoff game. Not saying you’re wrong, but rather, I can see how that wouldn’t even register by comparison.

C's losing a little focus on defense. Some of these Hornets are on scholarship, too.

Kornet was good two years ago in his first stint with us *ducks*

The Cs are handling the Hornets yet the CLT announcers just pointed out that they have zero turnovers. That's pretty remarkable this deep into the second.

They look like they’re getting a little… if not bored, casual.

Al shooting jumpers off the dribble is not the game the Celtics want to play. He's WAY better taking set shots in a catch-and-shoot manner.

Grant's been great in this one. 6 assists, 5 boards and +14 in 11 minutes
To keep with my reporting on opponent announcers, they were on that early. As in, “Having a huge impact on this game, despite not scoring.”

I love how some of these guys seem to figure put their role even as it may differ from game to game. I mean, obviously not every time, but it seems like they try to adjust and it’s really cool.
