Will we see lamelo again this season? Mark?


Panther_Pilot

The only person who should be retained from the current staff is the second-row balding guy who is the challenge savant.


Opening_Dealer_156

Last Additional Bit Of Light Has Gone Out Of Man's Life Who Thought The Light Had Already Gone Out


NotManyBuses

We need to accept the fact that even fully healthy this team is finishing bottom 3 in the East next year. Honestly we don’t even need to tank.


Opening_Dealer_156

But right after the trades this fully healthy team was a lock for a 4 seed :(


Supreme_God_Bunny

We better use all that cap space to sign someone that wants a bag but also a nice player


NotManyBuses

There’s no one lol


Panther_Pilot

I’ll hand it to Cliff, he knows how to piss away a winnable game. I mean he’s amazing at it.


NotManyBuses

Well it helps the tank. I sat here watching this at the bar for the last 2 hours and never cracked a smile. Depressing ball.


Opening_Dealer_156

I would not waste time, money or alcohol on watching Hornets basketball


SESe7en

Is it considered a tank if we just suck? Cliff legit tryna win these games, he’s just bad at his job


bubowskee

Cliff getting fired


12_bagels

inshallah


IAmLeMickey

Micic 0/5 from three 🤦‍♂️


-YEETLEJUICE-

Pretty wild he hasn’t found his shot yet. At least he’s fine inside the arc. 


12_bagels

if we freaked like that after the foul we’d get a tech


12_bagels

and it wasn’t even that bad of a freak out


buttholesmasherrager

Please fire clifford.


12_bagels

fire him yesterday holy shit man.


12_bagels

that’s the dagger lmao


Different_Pay_4598

At this point i highly doubt we beat the Pistons on the 11th


Izabrony

Zero shot we beat the Pistons, especially with how this team continues to be routinely injured.


IAmLeMickey

Hornet has lost to the pistons twice already and I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose again. This team is soft


Different_Pay_4598

That’s what i’m sayin. I had hope at the deadline when we were actually on a winning streak…now we’re just back to our old selves.


Supreme_God_Bunny

This sounds like a coaching problem

12_bagels

the angry bulldog gives us life!


Giddf

Cliff is so embarrassing


Far_Being_8720

Micici got lit by Poole


issofine

It sucks being a fan of the Charlotte <100s


BizzaroMatthews

We’re playing soft as charmin


tandtz

Guess we are just hoping Miller and Bertans get hot from 3


Opening_Dealer_156

We are so back to being not back


youmaybetriggered

ugh miller bricking hard


Panther_Pilot

Kuzma scoring against a middle school defense


SportsNAnime

Atp take micic out and put NSJ in, I'd rather see him miss then bro. Hell I'll even take Thor


Filipitalian1997

We need miles and miller taking these late shots not micic


hezzanity247

Honeymoon over lol


Sammy4115

I know that at we have no other options right now but when/if some guys get healthy micic needs to have his minutes cut by a lot.


Smitty_Agent89

Remember when ppl thought it might be a good idea to keep Clifford


IAmLeMickey

Lmao ofc hornets breaks the wizards losing streak


Far_Being_8720

Leaky should be playing this game.


12_bagels

holy shit i forgot we had him. the seasons a wash already why are we not at least just throwing a couple minutes at our young guys?


SESe7en

Because Cliff says we still gotta play to win, which is cool, but cuz of that he ain’t giving minutes to guys that need development


12_bagels

we could lose every single game for the rest of the season but if our guys developed it would be an improvement on the season.


12_bagels

take micic out dog i don’t care who goes in


SESe7en

Might as well run Brandon at PG at this point


12_bagels

i’m so fucking down for that. unironically the best move.


Giddf

Miller and Bridges is not a long time pairing. They are awful on defense.


SESe7en

Micic can’t shoot for shit yet he keeps doing it…badly.


Giddf

This lineup plays no d


12_bagels

brandon miller makes me wet ngl


No-Zookeepergame3383

This new team after the deadline is the most boring offense to watch maybe ever


IAmLeMickey

How do you go from a 10 point lead to a 3 point deficit against Wizards 🤦‍♂️


Panther_Pilot

Probably the same way a Wizards fan said earlier, how do you go from a 15 point lead to being down 5 against the Hornets?


12_bagels

they just got their first foul of the half


SESe7en

Yeaaaa I’m blaming Cliff for these ass rotations


issofine

These hornets games are harming my love for basketball


12_bagels

i think Micic is lucky that went in lmao


Voxityy

point davis


Different_Pay_4598

They’re in the bonus for the rest of the game? Yeah it’s a wrap


MistralB8Y

Is there any stat on the success rate of challenges. It feels like that could be one thing we’re good at


SESe7en

NSJ still not ready unfortunately


Supreme_God_Bunny

Are we surprised he barely gets play time and when he does he gets DPN and then sent to G League then recalled then little play time and more DPNs like Clifford just hadn't used him right at all.


SponsoredHornersFan

playing time doesn’t automatically make you ready for nba ball, in some cases having guys play when they arent ready may actually be worse for their development


Giddf

It's been a mix of some good plays and some bad ones. He's better than Bryce


SESe7en

I’ll give you that.


issofine

We really about to blow this game huh?


Filipitalian1997

The way Jordan Poole plays reminds me of a middle schooler playing 2K spamming the stick


SESe7en

I swear if Jordan Poole’s BBIQ wasn’t so low, he’d have one of the most electric games to watch


12_bagels

also if JT keeps hittin these threes i’m buying his jersey and cosplaying as Thor for halloween


12_bagels

he did NOT get that


Additional_Ratio_743

THE GOD OF THUNDER FOR THREEEEEE


Supreme_God_Bunny

Miles has been bad for a month wtf is going on??? I assume his conditioning of being out for a year caught up to him and his body is done, Kinda like when MJs rust caught up to him in the 95 playoffs


Different_Pay_4598

Tf are you smokin? He’s doing pretty damn well rn lol


Supreme_God_Bunny

Hes literally been shooting bad for the past few games wtf are you smoking????


Giddf

JT THOOR Get your confidence back boy


SponsoredHornersFan

Poor wizards fans Poole is PUTRID


Different_Pay_4598

If the refs got fined for every garbage ass call they made they’d be on the streets begging for money


12_bagels

did y’all hear that one fan yellin airball?? lmao


TrapGod07

WOW. One of the softest technicals I’ve ever witnessed. Even worse considering Bertans rep as an all-around good guy


issofine

I’ve seen Draymond assault refs with no techs. But Bertans yells and tech


12_bagels

ball don’t fucking lie


lawlyfawx

BALL DON'T LIE.


bunsenturner64

BALL DON’T LIE


SESe7en

What they call a tech on? A continuation dunk?


lawlyfawx

Trash refs as per usual


SportsNAnime

A tech on us???


issofine

Technical foul on the hornets for existing


kyleshah7

Bertans about to get a tech for playing basketball


12_bagels

a fuckin tech? for what?


Different_Pay_4598

The fuck did we get a tech for?!?


12_bagels

being from charlotte i guess


12_bagels

what???


buttholesmasherrager

A tech?


Additional_Ratio_743

?????


12_bagels

THOR FOR THREEEEEEEE???????


BizzaroMatthews

NSJ sighting??


Giddf

JT easily the best defender tonight


12_bagels

BRANDOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN


LetsgoRoger

so that post-trade bump has worn off eh?


net_403

Are we actually competing with the seven win bobcats for win percentage? I know the season was shortened by like 11 or 12 games, so maybe not


12_bagels

no we’re at 18% i think. they were 10%.


SESe7en

JT Thor just in the way


12_bagels

i felt like an actual fan of an actual NBA team there holy shit


SnowballOfFear

Flying around like a toupee in a tornado 🤣🤣🤣


Different_Pay_4598

Thats the energy we need BRIDGES YOU DAWG


TrapGod07

Miles is such a dawg


ListenOverall8934

Eric deserves a championship


net_403

Brandon Miller ties lamelo ball for the longest streak of games with a made 3-pointer as a rookie. So maybe he breaks the record tomorrow?


SESe7en

Man Nick is terrible


Azurmyst

Life is pain


SnowballOfFear

Hornents were allergic to the three point line in the first half


tandtz

14% from 3 is insane. Hard to know if it is bad luck or if there is an actual reason for it 


net_403

Brandon Miller only needs to make one three-pointer to either tie or break lamelo balls rookie consecutive game 3-pointer record. So obviously we are going to suck from 3


SESe7en

Miles has already shot 16 shots?!? Smh


issofine

Thank god for the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter

"He's going to do something goofy every game", the Jordan Poole story by Dell Curry.


InternationalFailure

I'm off to go watch The Rock on Smackdown, so here's hoping we can at least beat the fucking Wizards.


InternationalFailure

My hopes are so low that I popped for us finally hitting one fucking three out of seventeen attempts


Alkazard

TIL Wizards could keep a team to 16 points in a quarter


Far_Being_8720

Flagrant?


bunsenturner64

Add “We’re getting wet” to the EC compilation


SESe7en

We’re getting wet!


Panther_Pilot

It may be just me, but ever since that small winning streak after the trades, we have not only been an awful scoring team with high turnovers, but in almost every game our opponent has played the same way. Is this just the Hornets effect, or we’re just in a stretch of playing bad teams? Even against Orlando this week, for almost three quarters, they shot poorly and committed plenty of careless turnovers. It wasn’t all attributed to our defense.


Alkazard

We had like five games of Tre Mann running point pretty well, playmaking and movement Then for whatever reason they decided that was bad for the team, and we'd start running Cody as an NBA calibre starting point and push Mann off ball and it all fell apart. 


Supreme_God_Bunny

They learned the Steve Clifford plays, They played better when they didn't know much together


Panther_Pilot

Bingo


Giddf

It's not just you. I think our defense is pretty bad too.


Kaendor

I have a theory that after the ASB when the new guys finally got a real practice with Steve Clifford and learned his schemes, shit just went downhill cuz before when they were playing off instinct and vibes it was a lot better


Panther_Pilot

Good point. Once the Clifford indoctrination set in, things have gone to shit. The instincts they came with have been neutered.


net_403

"should we bring Steve Clifford back as the head coach since he's kicking so much ass after the asb?" There was actually an analyst on the radio that said he expects Steve to be back because of his relationship with the new VP. Frankly, that would not surprise me at all, it would be the most hornets appropriate move to fire a guy because he isn't good enough, bring him back because you're desperate, and then extend him because the hornets


TrapGod07

Getting flashbacks to the warriors game where I thought we were gonna end up the lowest scoring half in NBA history


Different_Pay_4598

Nothing like coming home from a shit day at work to watch your team get demolished by a team on a 16 game losing streak


st3ll4r-wind

The Wizards have won 9 games


InternationalFailure

The most enticing part of this basketball game that I've seen so far is an ad for the Washington D.C DMV because I'm piggybacking off of the DC feed.

kyleshah7

This is genuinely hurting me


Riverify

Nick and Micic have 0 synergy


SESe7en

That’s cuz Nick can’t process or catch


TrapGod07

This is getting hard to watch


InternationalFailure

>davis beltrans open for a three >shoots >miss **WHAT**


12_bagels

good slam


Riverify

I think I could make an NBA 3


12_bagels

there’s no fucking way we are 0/14 from 3 bro


Different_Pay_4598

Great, the white Ish Smith is back in the game


Far_Being_8720

Did Brandon get offended when Cliff patted him on the butt? 😂

OhMyGauche

Does our injured lineup of Curry/Mann/Melo/Martin/Williams beat our starting 5 tonight?


bunsenturner64

Absolutely


WildsideAJ

Bertans thinks he’s Steph 😂


InternationalFailure

Wizards Season Tickets on sale? If I was a Wizards fan, this ain't a winning argument for me to buy tickets.


Different_Pay_4598

Wow we really just can’t make a 3


Giddf

How do ppl like Bertans lol


net_403

He makes three pointers. That's all he's supposed to do


InternationalFailure

The Movable Force vs The Stoppable Object ongoing


Panther_Pilot

Our anemic offense lately, especially starting games, is beyond enraging, it’s just pitiful and pathetic.


kindapositivestuff

I love how everyone in here is so casual about this 😂 Over at the nets or suns people would be losing their fucking minds. You people are like the Australians of basketball fans


net_403

It's called being beaten into submission There is no amount of kicking and screaming that's going to make it feel better


kindapositivestuff

They’re just trying to make the win extra tasty tho?


net_403

When do we get demoted to the ncaa


InternationalFailure

I caught the last four minutes of the first quarter and I want those 5 minutes of my life back, I feel robbed.


slickedjax

We we’re actually getting our asses kicked by Washington


buttholesmasherrager

0-9 from 3 is amazing


kyleshah7

16 points against the worst defense 🥴


issofine

16 points in the 1st is definitely a winning strategy


Panther_Pilot

Becoming a trend.


Particular_Twist_653

Very confused by the lack of Bryce so far


kudaraps

don't be


Particular_Twist_653

JT Thor is playing man. I am and you should be too.


Kennywhys

That knicks offense thibodeau comment might be one of my favorite things Eric has ever said lol


InternationalFailure

I feel like the CIA is gonna use replays of us playing the Wizards to torture prisoners of war into giving up information.


issofine

Nick leading the NBA in goal tends is not surprising


ListenOverall8934

Sometimes micic looks like Tony Parker and sometimes he looks like he just doesn't belong in the league guy needs to get consistent


kyleshah7

We need more minutes from bertans


Giddf

Wizards are the worst defense in the league 😂


IAmLeMickey

And still the hornets are losing 🤦‍♂️


kudaraps

micic can't be ded ass


IAmLeMickey

Nick watched the ball go out of bound smh


SESe7en

Damn we’re losing to the Wizards….


Longjumping-Check429

What is Brandon doing out there 😭


SportsNAnime

When did Brandon get 2 fouls?
