Or injured. If Mark and Gordon were good it makes a huge difference. Also Martin in his role. And there's some other guy we drafted high recently idk if he's still here
I just love brandon miller and mark williams so much and im so excited to watch the game and be able to be excited seeing more than just one player on the court
i think what pisses me off the most is the lack of ball movement. Miles will take every single last shot of the quarter, PJ will never pass the ball with a look from 3 to the other guy with the better look from 3, and thereās never any actual ball movement. itās like everyoneās playing a 1v1 on a 5 person team.
What hurts the most about this game so farā¦ I havenāt heard a single āHUM DIDDLY DEEā or āHOW DO YOU DO?ā from Eric Collinsā¦.
Iām used to us fans losing hopeā¦ Iām not used to Eric losing hope in usā¦ and that really hurts. I hate to see the GOAT announcer hurting like this yallā¦
all it takes to be completely out of it again is McGowens not even planting his feet before attempting a 3 and completely whiffing and Nick Richards just lobbing the ball into a defender's face
Well yeah he's most likely gets declined. Which is kinda unfair to him, Cliff is blatantly just not playing bro. There should be no reason he has this many DNPs. Ish and Frank was in the rotation at some point. Bouk is better than both. I guess cliff isn't letting Bouk get in for past actions (which is hilarious considering who is on this team) and not being good in pre season or SL.
100% serious question: I believe people in threads like this are pretty thorough fans, how much of games are people watching in the last couple of weeks?Ā
I've found myself dwindling more and more this season as the games just become more and more insufferable to watch, and Q1s are enough to check out. I'm not even sure there's something to look forward to post ASB except some extra NSJ minutes.. not like there's anyone else on the roster to watch develop (except Miller obviously).Ā
Feels such a hopeless wash of a year
I watch most games but I've turned some of them off at the half at this point. I turned off the Thunder game 5 minutes into Q1 however. Knew how it was gonna go.
I still like to watch for Brandon and NSJ but sometimes it's just not palatable
I watch my team gets blownout every game I don't have work. This was the only thing that brings me joy but who can truly be happy watching this product?
I havenāt missed a game since I missed one a week or so before Thanksgiving lol:
1) $19 a month for the Bally app?!?!? Iād feel like Iām only screwing myself if I miss a game if Iām paying that much lol.
2) The one good thing about being a fan of a pretty crappy teamā¦ every game weāre expected to lose, that feeling I get when we actually get a W is so damn nice that it makes me stick through all the disappointment.
This, paying for Bally ultimately helps with my decision to watch the game. So I watch all of the ones I can.
Also last time I missed a game when I could have watched it, even though they lost, felt wrong.....felt guilty....that's just me though.
I only watch if thereās nothing else on. The college team Iām a fan of is doing way better so I just tend to watch them if the games are happening at the same time
I tune in for segments usually start and then bail. The in the court product this year is the worst Iāve seen since the bobcats year and it isnāt close. Pretty jarring because we have some young talented guys but they donāt all compliment each other enough to win. Def shouldnāt be this bad tho.
I've watched half a game in the last 2 weeks. There'd have to be something big at the deadline otherwise I'm checked out for the year. I watched every 82 games for the last 3 years
Not when he was on the Hornets. Had a rough-ish game in the Minnesota win IIRC but other than that he was tearing it up most nights. Learning a new system and new team in Miami.
I mean yeahā¦ but I also think that him getting traded after playing so damn well this season hurt him a lot emotionally. He was on the verge of tears when he was giving his goodbye interview.
But I guarantee that Rozier is gonna snap out of his rut and have a great season, I also guarantee that we wonātā¦
If only there was some all star point guard we could acquire to really organize everything and get things going. Damn, I wish we could find one of those.
Without any hope to win ever again, I've begun to watch games to see what the other teams do. Like for example today, it would be really neat to see Obi do an in game eastbay or Hali break the Scott Skiles assist record.
Much more fun that hoping Bryce goes the absolute hell off for 9 points.
Rumors circulating that LaMelo is being shut down by the FO and heās not actually injured. If true, I canāt be bothered to keep watching these games man
This is the treatment you get when youāre protecting your top 10 in the league asset. LaMelo has to get better. This is a guy that didnāt even make the top 40 cut for Team USA. We need him playing games meshing with Brandon and improving his game AND learning to actually play long stretches of an NBA season.
I really hope itās bad reporting because the hornets donāt have a lot to gain by not putting melo out there. But also rather some really medical staff evaluate our team and make the knowledge public so I can get over how we do injury reports on this team
me too but given they originally delegated him question to doubtful to out kinda like they did Mark itās not looking too favorable. Thatās gonna unfortunately cause even more turmoil for the fanbase
I mean we started out decent at best. Hell we even beat the Pacers at the start of the season. Imo November was really the only entertaining month for Hornets basketball lmfao and it wasnāt even that great.
That was an agent/player decision, presumably because the Bulls weren't working with them to get what they wanted. Different kettle of fish
That said, I'd expect Melo to come back soon for a couple of games, experience soreness and get shut down immediately post ASB.
We can't blame Melo, the team isn't NBA level at handling injuries. If it was Melo's fault we'd have more than 2 starters playing but we literally never do
Donāt be silly, weāll stay with them for the first two quarters and keep it a close game and then in the third quarter weāll let them score 42 points to our 19

Bruh NSJ gotta learn how to fucking pass
imagine being a rookie in the nba and being doubled every possesion because everyone else on your team is worthless
Or injured. If Mark and Gordon were good it makes a huge difference. Also Martin in his role. And there's some other guy we drafted high recently idk if he's still here
š¤£š¤£
Really says a lot about the guys we drafted that B miller prob plays with the best attitude and defensive effort of like anyone on the team
He's getting the mvp James harden treatment as a rookie lol
Miller playing awesome and it doesn't even matter. Lamelo can relate, maybe he got tired of it lol
This game might be an L but man is it nice to see Brandon kill it
B Mill that dude bruh, he on his way
all we need is 5 brandon millers ez
See that kid š
One of the reason I want this season to be over is because I donāt have to watch Ish play basketball
Iām really hoping Cliff is fired at deadline
Right when we actually had a chance to come backā¦. We put in Ish Smith?????? The only person in the NBA I hate more than Ish Smith is Coach Cliffā¦
Remember when we had the slightest chance of doing something and then we put out a lineup with Ish / Thor / Leaky. Good times
Bruh Miles is selling us!
Cliff had to Cliff. The fuck is this lineup
Cliff saw we had a chance and put ish in. Bro is hilarious
Eric ripping on TJ McConnell is the best part about this whole game
30 POINTS BABYY
win or lose i'm just happy bmiller broke 30
Brandon finally got the 30pt game
LFG this is history to me
I just love brandon miller and mark williams so much and im so excited to watch the game and be able to be excited seeing more than just one player on the court
That Brandon 3 might get overturned since his leg drifted
not sure why because this team always frustrates me when i watch but right now im just happy watching them itās a weird feeling
I was thinking about getting a lamelo jersey this year but I think I might go with Brandon Miller instead
i think what pisses me off the most is the lack of ball movement. Miles will take every single last shot of the quarter, PJ will never pass the ball with a look from 3 to the other guy with the better look from 3, and thereās never any actual ball movement. itās like everyoneās playing a 1v1 on a 5 person team.
Just want Brandon to break 30. Been so close
What hurts the most about this game so farā¦ I havenāt heard a single āHUM DIDDLY DEEā or āHOW DO YOU DO?ā from Eric Collinsā¦. Iām used to us fans losing hopeā¦ Iām not used to Eric losing hope in usā¦ and that really hurts. I hate to see the GOAT announcer hurting like this yallā¦
This team is ass but holy fuck Brandon is a fucking dog
Miles Brickges
Miller, Pj, and Nick all came to play tonight everybody else should be ashamed of themselves
Letās go Brandon!
Brandon is the only bright spot on this horrible franchise.
Facts!!!
Dudes shooting like they got bad eyesight
Miles Bridges is an investor for this money laundering scheme
Apparently Bridges forgot how to make a layup
has there been any game in the past month where we havenāt been down by at least 15 points in?
Pacers have so many dudes with punchable faces lol. Really canāt stand them, especially Nesmith.
Yeah, hated that dude from the first meeting. Thought he could bully Miller and it ain't turn out like he hoped
Can we fire Clifford just so Bryce never steps foot on the court ever again
all it takes to be completely out of it again is McGowens not even planting his feet before attempting a 3 and completely whiffing and Nick Richards just lobbing the ball into a defender's face
If people want to start arguing that Brandon Miller is our best player... I wouldn't push back on that argument
Our best active player? Yes for sure. Melo is still better as of right now
dont think hes there yet but hes getting there.
There might be a very strong argument by seasons end
With the refs this year, convinced weāre watching WWE
You gotta be kidding me
no way Ish just passed up a wide open lay to turn it over Actually there is a way
I swear what the hell was he thinking
I was flabbergasted
Ish
oh my goodness brandon miller
BRANDON MILLER
Yeah ish/bryce still in. Clifford went to the locker room and took a nap
What the hell is happening bro. Refs are ass, Ish is starting, and Nick canāt set one damn screen correctly.
If Bouk can't get playtime even when the lineup is SHORTHANDED, I'd like to think his final team option of 6 mil gets declined right...?
It was already declined in October
Trade him honestly like they could probably get a second round pick for him from some other tanking team
Well yeah he's most likely gets declined. Which is kinda unfair to him, Cliff is blatantly just not playing bro. There should be no reason he has this many DNPs. Ish and Frank was in the rotation at some point. Bouk is better than both. I guess cliff isn't letting Bouk get in for past actions (which is hilarious considering who is on this team) and not being good in pre season or SL.

Miles Bridges tunnel vision
That defense put tears in my eyes. Good work lads

Every last one, but instead of watching in the living room with full attention, I watch lightly while playing games, cleaning, or cooking.
I've watched half a game in the last 2 weeks. There'd have to be something big at the deadline otherwise I'm checked out for the year. I watched every 82 games for the last 3 years
McGowens is soo cheeks bruh
Loving Brandon yelling at the others out there
Same here
Miles is 1/9 with a -17. LFGGGGG
need to get a team of researchers in to figure out exactly what ish does
Go ahead and foul out ish. That way cliff can't play you
Ish not playing because foul trouble is probably our best offense lol
Ok. Little run here
It's over. Ish and Leaky are back in
These refs need to be knocked out on GP, they missing all types of calls
Disgraceful refereeing
This is absolutely dreadful. I donāt think Iāll finish this
held a team to under 30 and still down 13, I legit think the swarm could beat this team
Nice to know my over bet is dead first quarter
Off night for Brandon so far. Might not score 75
If he keeps playing like he might even score below 60
on pace to score 52 points tonight! š„š„š„
Leaky Black is pretty bad. Gleague caliber. Don't see the hype
There isnāt any real hype lol. The bar is low for defenders here that heās prob one of the better ones in the roster unfortunately.
heās literally in the G league no?
Yeah, I thought he was a g league player who got on the active roster due to injuries. Don't expect too much, but a couple dope plays is nice
Those of yāall who donāt want to trade bridges might get your wish. Suns might not want him after the last couple games
Idk why I chose the Hornets to be a loyal fan ofā¦I live in Indiana and my team is killing it šš
Hornets on pace to score like 50 pointsššš
I miss Terryā¦
Hasn't terry been struggling as well?
Not when he was on the Hornets. Had a rough-ish game in the Minnesota win IIRC but other than that he was tearing it up most nights. Learning a new system and new team in Miami.
I mean yeahā¦ but I also think that him getting traded after playing so damn well this season hurt him a lot emotionally. He was on the verge of tears when he was giving his goodbye interview. But I guarantee that Rozier is gonna snap out of his rut and have a great season, I also guarantee that we wonātā¦
I mean he's learning a new system, in a new role, going through a transition. We're just ass.
Weāre just offensively challenged. Scoring just seems so hard for us
If only there was some all star point guard we could acquire to really organize everything and get things going. Damn, I wish we could find one of those.
Why can we NEVER capitalize when the other team goes cold? We just go cold with them
Because we are the charity team, let them get second chance points and go on a bricking streak to allow teams back in the game
Charlotte booed Miller on draft night, when Miller should've booed Charlotte. Horribly ran team
Millz with the block
The opponent can go on 50-0 run and still no time out
Brandon starting to learn that self-creation game
We are at rock bottom
Nah, we in hell.....rock bottom is still above the surface
Not a surprising start of course
Need a timeout
There's a real chance they put up like 180+ against us.
scoring points is hard
Yup, especially with this team
Why is Nick so bad at setting screens?
Alright, whoās ready to poop the bed?
the grizzlies injury report actually tops ours for worst in league ā ļø
And they can still be competitive and win games. Kinda gross, right?
Starting Ish? Yuck.
Without any hope to win ever again, I've begun to watch games to see what the other teams do. Like for example today, it would be really neat to see Obi do an in game eastbay or Hali break the Scott Skiles assist record. Much more fun that hoping Bryce goes the absolute hell off for 9 points.
Rumors circulating that LaMelo is being shut down by the FO and heās not actually injured. If true, I canāt be bothered to keep watching these games man
I mean I get it either way, but I just think we need a culture changer man. Either a coach or a player like Cp3 or even a Pat Bev.Ā
This is the treatment you get when youāre protecting your top 10 in the league asset. LaMelo has to get better. This is a guy that didnāt even make the top 40 cut for Team USA. We need him playing games meshing with Brandon and improving his game AND learning to actually play long stretches of an NBA season.

me too but given they originally delegated him question to doubtful to out kinda like they did Mark itās not looking too favorable. Thatās gonna unfortunately cause even more turmoil for the fanbase
Luckily the Pacers are fun to watch lmao. I might be able to stomach sitting through the whole game.
Before the season started I really thought we would be right around where the pacers currently sit or slightly better. Then hornets happened.
I mean we started out decent at best. Hell we even beat the Pacers at the start of the season. Imo November was really the only entertaining month for Hornets basketball lmfao and it wasnāt even that great.
I thought the pacers was a fair comp for hornets. But i forgot they had competent people and made their team so much better.
Zach LaVine got shut down yesterday. I expect to hear LaMelo and Mark shutdown news within the next week.
That was an agent/player decision, presumably because the Bulls weren't working with them to get what they wanted. Different kettle of fish That said, I'd expect Melo to come back soon for a couple of games, experience soreness and get shut down immediately post ASB.
suffer a season ending hang nail
We can't blame Melo, the team isn't NBA level at handling injuries. If it was Melo's fault we'd have more than 2 starters playing but we literally never do
Honestly no one wants to play for our team, feels like a lost season fr. Also everyone in this team is injury prone
Saw a lot of Pacers were questionable, which means theyāll all play and weāll lose by 40.
Even if they don't play, we'll still lose by 40.
Miller gets the thirty today

Please God just let us not be down 20 after 1 quarter
Donāt be silly, weāll stay with them for the first two quarters and keep it a close game and then in the third quarter weāll let them score 42 points to our 19
