No doubt in my mind Melo had a setback with his ankle. Probably injured it again in a workout. He was supposed to be close to returning after the allstar break.

It has to be a setback.

I do like that Poku moves well off the ball. A lot of movement in our offensive sets with him on the floor.

they've given us no indication that Melo and Mark will be coming back lately, so I think it's a pretty good chance neither will return this year. A good chance to give all the new young guys a chance to prove themselves. Next year we hope to stay healthy and make some noise with the core set.

Respect Richards patience. I would be shouting in Miles face for going for that idiotic layup instead of just handing me the ball whille i had a major mismatch at the hoop.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Clifford is trying to screw us on his way out. Running the offense through Bridges all season just so we have to overpay. His stats will get him a lot of money on the open market. Hope the Hornets are ready to pay.

The worst part of the season was us winning those meaningless games after the trade. Talk about false hope.

We should be sitting on the worst record in the league right now.

We literally got swept by the team that set the All-time longest losing streak in a season.

Has to be one of the top 20 worst seasons ever right? I mean 0-3 to this detriot team pretty much seals that.

I didn't watch the game, was it just lucky coincidence that Poku had +12 while everyone else was negative??

weird stat

We had a couple random purple patches that brought the game close but realistically this was a 20point game pretty much the entire way.

Detroit sucks but Charlotte is SOFT. Every game is just a bully fest from start to finish and once the refs start allowing it, our guys start whining and fall apart

I turned it off.

We traded Borrego's play-in losses for perpetual domination at the hands of the team with the worst record in the league.

Yes, the injuries factor into my decision.

I would watch for Miller, but even he will look completely different with LaMelo on the floor. And together they will look completely different under a new coach.

I hope Peterson can land a good one like Bud.

And I swear the worst thing about watching right now (other than the losses) is seeing JT Thor. Those are the two worst things about all the injuries.

Last year it was the losses and watching Clifford hand over the iso-heavy offense to Terry and Oubre.

Got hooked after the trade deadline despite being our only playable bench piece prior to that.

Lost all of his confidence and mojo now.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
