The minute Jack tells me to give the Hornets credit this game is going on mute
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

So jealous of knueppel. After all these years we still don’t have a lights out shooter.

Poor shot selection. It’s like we rarely come out focused and ready to play.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

They're draining contested threes and we're bricking wide open shots

Yeah those wide open corner 3’s are on Darko. We send all 5 guys to protect the rim.

Barnes was the 4th closest to Kon off that rebound...yet was the only one who thought about running out to contest him.

Others just watched

Leaving Kon wide open from the 3, is a recipe for disaster.
