Clifford got worse with age. Thibs got better and was better at baseline.

he can even give NSjr some minutes at the 2, where he believes his future is at.

why play an 8 man rotation in a blow out loss

Miles Bridges looks like the only player who can make a difference out there. Flashes from Mann and Miller.

Their 3rd string center is feasting on Nick and Grant. Williams has looked tired for a while now.

Career high for their 3rd string center. Nick bails the paint all the time.

Down 30 in the 4th. No NSJ in sight. It's wrong.

Down 34. 6 minutes 30 seconds remain. 0 minutes for NSJ. Not even injuries to pets Bryce and Thor can create time.

"Players learn in practice".

Then puts Bryce and Thor in to learn in games.

Like Monk, NSJ is not allowed to learn in games.

Two years more of this because of 2 playin losses.

Uneven swap.

We're losing by 30 and Cliff is going to play the starters until the last 2 minutes.

I suspect the Hawks are glad they kept Murray. He looks more like the player you build around, not Trae.

26 for a 3rd string center. Nick Richards should be ashamed.

41 point loss to a playin squad without Trae. 91 points. Fall short of 100 again. Clifford is so gone.

There is a realistic chance we won't win again this season.

2 games against the Celtics
3 games against Cleveland.
Warriors
Clippers
Orlando
OKC
Dallas

The Hawks again and Blazers are our only half-decent shots. Probably beat the Blazers at home.

He's also 110.percent right.

He's also (a huge) part of the problem

Cliff, as usual, sounds smart and accurate at his press conferences.

But his coaching is awful.

He's playing an 8 man rotation, with only 2 guards, while we can't score to save our lives as we get blown out every game.

If we were healthy. And we played a badly injured team like Atlanta.

Can anyone see us blowing a team out by 20, 30, 40pts?

Because it happens to us regularly.

We're just a weak willed, immature team coached by a dinosaur who says one thing and does the opposite.

I don't want to hear any of this. All the other coaches in the league are working within the same environment and the vast majority of them have done a better job at getting guys ready to play and developing them than Clifford has year after year. His approach sucks and obviously doesn't work. Get him out of the league already.

I wanted Cliff fired many weeks ago. He’s playing our guys far too many minutes, and giving zero minutes to players who need some experience. Miller may be tired, but his expressions and mannerisms strike me as a guy kinda disgusted with the situation. Miles is playing hard but he’s also playing for his next contract and doing a LOT of stat spreading for more $$$$$. You see the lack of enthusiasm on defense more than anything. Tonight it didn’t help that ATL was hot as hades from 3. Also bullied us inside.

Tank it out Hornets!
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
