Melo putting up big MVP numbers over the past 10 games and what a choke job by JT & Jrue missing crucial free throws
Let’s freaking go I was there, I also got a autographed ball by Dell curry.
This match was Wonderful just wonderful 💀
That 3rd missed free throw by Tatum 😢
This hornets team is exciting to watch, some may disagree but what I can see they can bring something exciting hopefully every night! Cant wait to see Brandon Miller be the star he could most definitely be. Go buzz city!
We have an amazing team, and Tatum got 45 points but we still lost it just doesn't make sense even with ball making a lot of baskets
RIP to my excitement. Thanks scorebiard for the spoilers.
Great game was there courtside and had an amazing time
Nice game by both teams but Hornets beating Number 1 Seed is not a joke
Is 1 loss going to fuck everything up? Hell no we didn't win 17 championships with a losing mentality We're winning the championship bring it on any team anywhere the Celtics play ball people talking shit after 1 loss are ridiculous especially buck's, and fakers fans 🏀🔥🍀
Missed free-throw in the end for Boston was horrible, but gotta give it for Hornets for the win.
27 days 🥷🏿 27 nights
Jaylen sold again
The fact that a professional basketball team can be up by 9 points with 2 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, and even ALLOW the game to go into overtime is pathetic. Let alone to then go and lose. 2 minutes and 24 seconds. That’s 6 basketball possessions. 3 for you and 3 for the other team. To blow that lead with that little time left is PATHETIC, and it seems to be happening every other nba game nowadays. It’s garbage. It would be fun to watch if it didn’t feel so scripted
What a dumb fuck shot selection by Tatum in the end
Cs got a taste of their own medicine…..they caught many teams on back to back this time it was their butts getting beat on a night of a back to back
Man and I wish kai Jones was playing with them
lamelo ball
Lamelo is so mellow yellow on the court. The guy got serious serious basketball skills 👍
People are looking at hornets record and assuming they're sorry not accounting that Terry Rozier is injured, (Top scorers)so is Martin, and Miles Bridges just got off suspension. We've been rotating freshman subs as starters since game two. We have time once Terry gets back to make a run
YUHHH MY GOAT WON
LaMelo & miller are actually a good duo. Also miller & holgren better rookies than wemby just saying
