Whole roster out with injuries, as is always the case after less than 20 games. Good luck to the scrubs, but I'm skipping every game until NBA-caliber players are healthy or NBA-caliber players who are malingerers are off the team.

Good coaching. He responded well too.

Couldn’t see the game but good recap and box score indicates these guys played well. Nice to have Richards back for strong rebounding. Great game from Brandon, good production from Jeffries, Green, Cody, some others. NSJ has lost ground…just can’t seem to get any better.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Imagine being an Indiana fan tonight. You lost to a perennial cellar-dweller with 9 of its top 12 players out. The Greensboro Swarm joined forces with Brandon Miller to beat an NBA team.

Haliburton making 50 million dollars a year to look like trash is what happened.

That statue of liberty dunk by Brando with two minutes left was a thing of beauty

he was pretty amazing last year. Apparently he pushed himself, ignoring the back pain, to reach the minimal amount of games to make an All NBA team and earn the big payrise.

looks like he's suffering for it now.

Also need to give credit to Chuck for two successful coach's challenges that got us the ball back in the last five minutes.

Miller and Cody got mad in crunch time. Thankfully, Miller took control of the offense so Cody didn't play hero ball. Wong closed too, which was good to see. NSJ is a brick/turnover machine and so is KJ. Richards got benched in crunch time, thankfully.

I wish there was a way to assign basketball IQ numbers to each player and then never play a combination that is below a certain threshold. Especially in the clutch. Lee had the right combo last night and he cooked with those two challenges.
