I haven't watched a game since Miller got injured.

I been box score watching for a while now. Not really trying to see Miles Bridges and a team full of bums play ball.


I watch every game possible. So when you comment on a game thread you basically have no idea what in the **** you’re talking about.
Liver Pooty aka Liver Moody

Settle down. :D


I’m perfectly fine. Just don’t comment on games you don’t watch. Which is obviously a lot. It’s annoying. I’ve watched every game this year but you still make takes off box scores. lol get out of here.

I've only missed two games this year and that was in the first week of December when I was in San Diego. Other than that I've painfully watched at least the first 2 1/2 quarters of every game. There's been a few that I turned off around the 4th quarter but not many.

I think we ended the game tonight with seven players??? It's ridiculous.

If the front office tries to put us through this level of **** next year we should probably all just revolt.

It's a shame Payton never learned how to shoot because he's really fun to watch in terms of passing. He sees everything. I don't remember him being on that level of a passer earlier in his career.

I'm glad somebody else said it.

Embarrassing team building. Charlotte is far from the only team with a bunch of injuries, but other teams manage to field rosters with NBA players.

4 guys suited up last night for Charlotte who realistically belong in the NBA and yet things have gotten so bad around here lately that folks are just like "good job good effort"

I don't think there is another team in the league that is dealing with the lack of availability that we had last night. We were legit missing 8 guys from our rotation in the second half last night, and this doesn't include Nurk being on a minutes restriction:

Melo
Miller
Mark / Knecht (depending on how you want to view it)
Okogie
Mann
Grant
Moussa
NSJ

That's practically an entire team missing.

Right. We were down 7 guys and were still up 2 at the half. Then we effectively lost 3 more (NSJ, Salaun, Nurk) and the game got out of hand. I just have a hard time acting like missing 10 guys is the sort of availability issue that other teams are doing a better job dealing with.

And Curry didn't play for some mystery reason.

Somehow, some way, Charlotte is the only team this happens to (again)
