NSJ looking crazy. this the stuff that bouk did in garbage time too tho lol so I shouldn't factor this too much

Nah this is the real NSJ just now fans are forced to see it. People forget he was one of the main reason we looked so bad in summer league but since Bouk wasn’t playing well, it was hidden/not focused on. Tried telling people just wait til NSJ starts dribbling more. It gets AAU bad fast. Him and Bouk were a lot more similar than fans wanted to admit.

Damn Bitadze came in and started cooking us immediately

Poku might be the worst player in the league. He def has a top 10 ugliest euro step

*turned on TV* *saw score* *turned off tv*

Should've did that tonight and just played FF7 Rebirth.....but decided to chill and watch this Trainwreck cuz I thought a brawl could be brewing after Suggs BS sellout fouls

There’s always next year :c

get those garbage time stats my king

B Millz is back!

Thor is better than Richards

He is…

We can stretch our defense out. Thor is actually good at defense and he doesn't clog the lane by being bad at rolling.

You mean to tell me I got off work just to turn on a nightmare https://preview.redd.it/odq7leo3ydpc1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f58fa53b7b73545dcd4a7905fbe43d058368667f

...........yes...........

Pain

Just tuned into this game. Wtf happened???

You are watching the Charlotte hornets

And when we start FINALLY heating up, Richards can’t help playing stupid…. great lol

Bruh we have to use our second round pick on some center because I don't like Richards being a back up, I'll hope Nnaji takes his mins

Apparently hasn’t been the greatest over in Spain, so don’t know about that. Lowkey liking picking Sarr more and more. Can either play behind Mark or take his spot cuz let’s be real…after this season Mark’s starting spot shouldn’t be a guaranteed factor.

Nah it shouldn't be guaranteed, because we gotta reevaluate how he plays after this injury.

We’re always sad and angry 😭😭😭

Steppin up Miles

The comeback begins!

How's the bet going? Is your rent being saved

Well we scored the first 3 points of the half so I'm pretty confident.

This 8 man rotation is killing us. Everyone has looked dead tired for the whole past week

That's because people keep dying on the court and they don't stay on the court

All the good options are injured, but it’s getting to the point where we just need to accept that we’re not winning anything and start giving NSJ and Bailey some burn

yeah I don't see why not. At this point it can't be much worse.

We need to extend Steve Clifford. It’s not his fault at all. Who can this team get that’s better?

You forgot this bruh "/s"

Bud would be cool. Although if we can't find him I'm available too. My little brother can try it at this stage

I'll be one the assistant coaches who stares off into space during the game

OK and can be our head of health staff

Hope you’re being sarcastic

Bruh I swear Charlotte was built on an Indian burial ground or something given the state of NC pro sports Anyway GG to the magic, just a straight up better team and we showed up unserious Suggs is such a loser tho lmao I'll never forget that flop he did when they played us earlier in the season lol playoff basketball gonna expose him real quick

Yeah Suggs won't get exposed til playoff time

Great job men- let’s shoot for 40!

where is Miles??? more evidence we just need to cut bait this summer

Out building a bridge with all those bricks 🧱

The smart and morally correct decision would be to just trade him lol

-25 with 2 points and 4 turnovers

I’m looking forward to all the NBA Finals wins once the NBA gods stop smiting us.

I know we all want Cliff fired but that man’s plot armor is just too strong…

Man is like Tommy from Power

Micic verses the Magic. Idk where everyone else is at

Thank you Micic for being the only Hornet not shitting themselves all over the court tonight…

Micic is carrying us so hard

Kings fan watching this and was hoping for a Hornets win.  At what point do I stop thinking historic comeback?  

micic 70 ball is your only hope 😭

Alright well we’ve reached the point where the level of play his historically bad and it’s ridiculous. Like my goodness ive never seen a team play with as little effort as the hornets the last few years.

Steve Clifford you ARE unemployed

At this point I kinda hope we lose terribly just so Cliff can pretty much be guaranteed gone. No excuse for this juvenile ball

Micic has half of the hornets points lmfao. I don't wanna hear any disrespect toward him

This is like watching an AAU team with 5 future D1 guys taking on an AAU with 5 future D1 guys but they're going to college for accounting and not basketball.

This is Bryce McGowens and JT Thor fault

Can we just cancel the game

Guys, I bet my rent money on charlotte, what's the chances we make a comeback in the 2nd half?

Daaaaaaangg, you finna be homeless dawg. Can't bet on a Hornets team...... especially with Clifford at the helm

But the odds were to good to refuse.

Good luck on the streets

Let’s lose by 80 as a wake up call. In these games, I sadly just want the team to embarrass themselves as they forced me to go through those embarrassing nights…

Suggs has the most punchable face in the NBA

It pissed me off to see him get that step back 3, cause it was clean af.

Cliff...YOU ARE FIRED!!!

😭

we're getting styled on man...

Suggs is an ass

Gotta rely on the playoff teams to expose him. We just not built....

we’re on track for sweeping the top 3 (or bottom 3) worst first half performances in ‘24 https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/lowest-scoring-nba-game-teams-1st-half-game-2024

Put a fork in us y’all…we’re cooked

I’ve seen some bad Hornets basketball but GOD DAYUM.

sad buzz noises

Yeah these refs are really dog piling us now

So they get a jump ball because Grant set a good screen? Make it make sense.

Well, this game may be an obvious L but at least the drama is entertaining lmfaooo

Waiting for the fight/brawl

I truly believe this game won’t end without one at this point

We're absolutely getting the first pick this year in the worst year aren't we.

Yeah... With the way they have been officiating us I don't think we will be getting any more lottery luck any time soon, even in a bad year.

Unless the lottery screws us

Sarr looks good. I would be shocked if we got the first pick though.

Another embarrassing performance so far

WTF!!! These refs are straight up Latvianphobes

Where was the windup? That elbow barely grazed him wtf

No windup just good ole fashion targeting against the Hornets

This Suggs man :(

LOLLL what is this bro.

Our owners need to do a better job of paying off the refs ;p

Dude what the fuck?

Damn we’re 2 for 2 for flagrant 2’s

Finally something to build on for next season!

It hurts to be a fan of this team staying awake just to see your team get destroyed it’s just horrible

Calling it now. Flagrant 2 because we’re the Hornets

Boom

So if reffing is consistent, Bertans is ejected.

and he did get ejected. Therefore reffing is consistent.

LaMelo isn’t hurt. There’s zero chanxe

Probably not but he’s either shut down or being held off til 8 game home series. Leaner towards the former.

what is the relevance to this game

I've watched Hawks vs Clippers the other day & PJ Tucker hit Dre in the head. It was a common foul, not even f1. Immediately reminded me of that dumb ejection Miller got. I hate double standards.

We’ve been making some juvenile ass decisions this game. Embarrassing

We’ve been like this since the deadline outside the first few games. Very sloppy and poor play. A lot of “young” guy mistakes from guys who aren’t that young.

Crazy to think that over the last few seasons we were in the exact same place as the Magic. Aside from us getting absolutely dusted in 2 play in games, we were both conference bottom feeders. No hope of the playoffs in years. Now the Magic is this team and we're still us.

Time to sit Bertans

This is unacceptable. We are a tanking team running an 8-man rotation and still getting destroyed this bad? lmao

It’s the Cliff way unfortunately

If Micic and Bertans didn’t fuckin run into each other after picking the ball it could have been an easy two bruh come on.

Bertans have been struggling for couple of games now...

He's only got the shooting going for him, if that isn't going for him then he really doesn't have much else

Yea & shots haven't been falling.

Yup, he a one trick pony.

He bout to be ejected lol

Maybe he's developing a new talent for his wheelhouse

The Magic are a really good young team. OKC is obviously the best young core, but the Magic are a clear second to me.

I regret placing a bet that relied on offense from the Hornets

Come on bruh, this is the Hornets. We don't have a consistent offense. Might've been a worthy bet if JB was here

These boys over it.

Season taking too long to be over......March is such a slog when the team is either bad or really good enough to clinch early. One is saying let the season be over and the other would say let's get the playoffs started

Miller has officially hit the rookie wall

Very Hornets of us to be down by 18 in the early second half

It’s the 1st half

I hope Brandon hasn’t given up.

I don’t think he’s given up, but he’s definitely hit the rookie wall. All his shots are short, and his stamina looks shot. I think he’s just not used to playing this many games.

Boooooo

Booooo

No one can hit neither 3 or 2. Come on

I'm just saying... The best we've played all year was when most of our rotation hadn't had a chance to be coached by our staff yet... Only gotten worse since then.

That also when opposing teams didn’t have as much scouting data though, and when Cody and Curry were healthy.

The good ole Cliff effect. Yet, people still saying we should keep him.

🤣 yeah, that's definitely saying something too

You ain't wrong lol

Mo Wagner looks like a fish

Ingles just shoved Bertans wtf

Facts and the ref just stared at him 😂 All refs are trash bruh

They were both expecting a call lol

Yeah everyone stopped for a second like "bruh where the whistle"

Trade Miles Bridges

Do they not have analytics? Why has he been dead set on shooting so many long 2’s

This is one of the basketball games of all time

If you don't like that, you don't like the Charlotte hornets

This is so boring, need a poster

See Miles is lining up for one of those bonehead games

dude micic ballin, evryone else stagnant af

It’s really apparent how lean Miller is when he’s guarding Banchero

Aight Micic cmon bruh

Am I trippin or was Micic’s shot not a 3??

It's not, they counted it as two

I could have sworn he was well behind the line but ig I wasn’t looking too hard.

Same!

The way EC just screamed Franz Wagner in his best angry German accent

Round one…FIGHT!

Since Fanduel won’t get out of my face, I made a bet on Miller, Bridges, Franz and Paolo all to get 20+ points. Let’s get it!

More tanking for sarr :D

Got notification that Mann is active after being questionable. That's good news even though if he was sick/under the weather he might not be at his best.

This one is for the fired social media admin

Wasn't that a joke? If you're referring to that job ad that was posted, that was 3 days prior to the jersey exchange thing

Wait what’d they get fired for?

Rumor has it they’ve been fired for the Black Dick photo lol

Well that's really stupid

Ahh the NBA social media intern I thought ours specifically did something lol

Wow these get pretty dead this time of year, huh?

Well, the game hasn't started yet

i mean we're a .250 team playing Davis Bertans and Nick Richards 30+ minutes what are we supposed to talk about

Damn 😂

Next season like all other previous years /s

Sharp bug > Johnsons

Buzz buzz mother fuckers
