Dallas should've traded Luka for Plumlee. Can do anything Luka can do & reverse dunk.

Did they know Hardy could shoot like this before they traded for Kyrie?

Micky drives baseline past Doncic, who flops from BEHIND Micky.

I want to like Doncic as a player but damn

Doncic is really easy to hate. Him and Cuban are a good pair, if they lose it definitely won’t be their fault

Awesome game. Dallas is a miserably constructed team, all that talent at the top and absolutely no support from the role players. They're going to get blasted in the play-in.

Best part for me was Thor. Keep putting in the work this summer young fella, you might be Mitch's next 2nd round success story. Ask Nick Richards about it.

They genuinely would have been better off with Rozier and Plumlee as they wouldn’t have had to trade away all their depth. Irving is a better player, but it gutted their team

The Mavericks losing at home to the Hornets is an utter embarrassment. I’m disgusted watching this team.

I checked this guy's mock draft and he had the Hornets picking 6th. What an ass. I hope Charlotte beats Dallas again on Sunday.

Losing to PJ, Gordo and the Greensboro Swarm really mind **** the Mavs.

Jason Kidd called the effort "dog ****".

Kyrie Irving kept it classy: "You obviously want to play well, but it's only five people on the court that can play for the Dallas Mavericks. If the fans want to change places, then hey, be my guest. Got years of work ahead to be great enough to be on this level."

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35940160/mavs-booed-jason-kidd-calls-effort-luka-doncic-admits-frustrations

It takes years of hard work to get sonned by JT Thor and the Swarm :lol: Kyrie was 1-8 from three for 18pts on 16 shots.

Obviously I know we still suck, but after watching all the flopping and crying to the refs it was fun to read the postgame meltdown.

This team doesn't suck, they just got kicked in the nuts repeatedly starting last summer all the way to this year. The Atkinson and Bridges fiascos, Bouknight breaking his hand before summer league (and turning to the bottle), Scottie Lewis tearing his ACL during summer league, LaMelo dealing with ankle injuries all season. This season was cursed from the get go.

This team has the most talented point guard and frontcourt it has had since the OG Hornets. If new ownership comes in and cleans out the garbage, keeps the talented folks onboard, and makes a few moves they will hit the ground running.

I guess I should clarify, we still suck this season, for all the reasons you mentioned. I said the other day on one of these threads that I think we can make a big jump up the standings next year even if we don't win the lotto so I definitely agree brighter days are ahead.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
