The problem with that reasoning is that Boston is better than Charlotte. A lot better. Part of the reason we looked good is that the Hornets are so bad. Boston won’t shoot 29% from 3 against us like Charlotte did, particularly when a lot of the misses were on open looks. We can play the same way against Boston and still not look nearly as good.
I hope I’m wrong. This would be a great win for us if we can somehow pull it off, but the odds are against us, although it helps that Kemba is out.
Edit: Boston favored by 6.5 on the betting sites.
