The whole team is just playing horrible defense...

Offense too.

TWICE we had a comeback going and Hornets on the ropes and each time we have found a way to kill all the momentum

I had to cut my stream off after the Poku dunk

Everytime we cut the lead down they make a run right back

What a horrible time to show up and take a dump on the court. The Hornets are awful.

Hornets obviously can afford themselves a win here.

Regardless of how bad Paolo is tonight, he's the only one on this team that decided that they are going to at least try. I can't get mad at his efforts when I see Franz, Suggs, and the bench being a non factor.

This game is a bad omen.

Low IQ play though. Why is Suggs pushing through the screen there when literally the only thing that can happen is that basically?

Didn’t ask

Magic still have a chance

Get the deficit below 10 by the end of the third and I'll have hope

I am not convinced that Franz can be our 2nd option.

Paolo’s defense sometimes annoys me. At least he's giving the team the lift offensively

My guess, and this is just a guess, had that been Fultz or Carter who committed that foul and not Suggs, you'd have had a decidedly different reaction :lol:

for sure but the starters usually suck to start the game... then JI's defense (plus Mo's offense) rights the ship. Hell, Mo is unplayable without JI so losing him means losing Mo as well.

Which means Ingles is unplayable if Moe can't play :lol:

Starting to wonder if he’s a mental midget. I think teams having figured him out in the scouting report and that’s why those euros don’t work anymore. They give him space to shoot but he can’t shoot anymore so he ends up just hanging his head all game like his confidence is shot

We've done that twice now and then allowed the Hornet to go on a run and balloon it back to 15. No honestly, we need to tie them going into the 4th otherwise it's just going to continue like it has.
