A lot of these guys on the Hornets we may never see in an NBA game again after this year.

I think we need to try out Gary's role with a rotating list of guys

I think Black deserves the vest. I'm not rewarding Paolo for taking a bunch of shots. AB played tough defense.

During shoot around, Wendell said it’s on the players to get out of this funk. I’m glad that they were more aggressive this game.

We probably lose against every other team in the NBA.

I liked some of the smaller lineups tonight. Got to spread the floor more.

Good way to go into The All-Star Break where this team needs to rest and regroup a bit.

Hopefully, Jalen Suggs will be back too.

The way the opposing player interact with Mosley is wild.

The team missing half their roster finally ran of out gas.

Yay.

Maybe the least satisfying win since Mosley’s been here. They suck.

Not much to learn from this game, they played a g league team.

Need to play Jett over Gary IMO. Getting Jett and AB consistent minutes is the best justification for not trading for a guard in what is probably a mostly lost year as far as playoff aspirations go. At least give those two a chance to develop, not like the alternatives do much.

The love that all NBA players have for him is main reason why I would find it hard to get rid of him. He needs better assistants but the respect that the league has for him cannot be easily replaced.

It would be nice if we had a FO that could take advantage of it though.

Queen doesnt do anything good, but provides some motor. That is what is lacking since Suggs went down.


I was actually wondering if bringing KCP off the bench isn't a good idea. He might just need a change and ...he can't throw a ball in the ocean.

I guess we don't have anything better waiting...maybe Suggs/Jett experiment? Even if KCP got more minutes than Jett...maybe a 1st qtr heat-check?

I don't know what Jett's all-around ceiling is at this point...but i don't doubt he's the most likely guy on the roster to hit 8 3's in a game.

He's 2-8 but I like his activity on defense and moving. Needs to shoot those open threes with confidence though. He's making shots tougher on himself. Doing way more than whatever Gary is.


He had some good hockey assists in the game too. Ball was moving well. But yeah needs to hit those shots.

I'm down but I'd rather have Ab/Suggs so Suggs can go back to being a sg.

Well... that was informative.

TDS can still make bonheaded rookie mistakes
Jett isnt a bust after all
Gary still doesnt do anything
ABs shot really improved

More importantly, we played freaking CHA so all mys observation can be thrown like yesterdays trash.

Paolo created a lot of shots for people including Black
