Yeah, people seem to think that but I don’t know one way or the other. Charlotte and Detroit met three times in the regular season. Detroit won all three games by margins of 26, 6, and 18. The last game was the first time the Hornets played the Pistons with their full current roster available. I was at that game, and the Pistons’ defense was impressive. They were extremely physical and that seemed to get in the Hornets’ heads. The refs did seem to let the Pistons get away with a lot, and I imagine they will in the playoffs as well.
The Hornets and Celtics met three times in the regular season. The Hornets won the first matchup (@ Boston) by 29 points. But Tatum had not yet returned at that point. The Hornets were without Grant Williams in that game. Tatum came back for the next game which was in Charlotte, and the Celtics won by 15. Jaylen Brown missed that game. Grant Williams again missed that game for Charlotte. Boston won the last matchup (@ Boston) by 11 points. Hornets did not have Coby White for that game. Hornets led by 11 after the first quarter and 6 at the half. Boston took the lead in the 3rd and finished the 3rd up 3.
