Cj is absolutely looking for his own shot tonight... hopefully that changes in the second half. Even though george isn't scoring as much, it is encouraging to watch him play his game and not force anything

Bub averaged 10 points a game as a 19 year old rookie. Turning 20, he should improve. But when he scores now, it feels like a minor miracle. I don't understand what went wrong. He regressed somehow. I don't get it.

CJ and Bub on tank patrol. Again. Let's start Tre already!

Hornets bench is weak.

CJ being this big of a chucker was not on my bingo card. Cmon man

Yep. Bub should be benched for Tre Johnson. No brainer.

Not a fan of Kyshawn at the point. Either way, he's having a rough night.

Is Middleton hurt for a change? I didn't hear anybody on Monumental mention why JC was in there so early in the third quarter.

Cam Whitmore has quickly become my least favorite Wizard this year.

He hasn't changed one iota. He's every bit the never-pass chucker he was labeled.

Charlotte finally sharing the ball and Wiz are paying for leaving guys open all second half. Not a fan of the Whitmore/Kispert lineup in the second unit because defense is an afterthought.

I do not want to watch CJ leading the team in shots taken. End of the 3rd and we’ve lost the lead. The adjustments that Hornets made were good.

Second unit definitely good for tanking save for Tre. Whitmore and Bagley -14, Kispert -9.

Yeah it's bad enough watching CJ compromising the defense, but watching him shot jacking too is really annoying.

Keef is trying hard to lose this game. Our best player Alex Sarr has only played 19 minutes..

I think Sarr is limted early in the season and due to injury is on a minutes restriction. Or we're just tanking over playing Vuc and Bagley.
