When we lose, we really lose. No half measures.

This team is either complete joy or complete nausea.

There is no in between

I feel ya. If I tried to take anyone off the dribble these days, my knee would crumble to dust.

Call a TO, JB. Time to wave the flag.

I don't mind the team bringing Thor along slowly, but with Hayward and McD out and PJ lost to ejection, it's almost coaching malpractice not to give Thor minutes.

the defense looked noticeably better in the last 2 minutes with the bench playing, they must get frustrated watching rotation players half ass it

Our zone defense might be the worst thing I've ever seen a pro team run. Even Dunlap's full court press was better than this

The rookie looked alright.

Amazing what a difference looking invested and playing with effort makes.

Other than that, felt like Trent couldn’t miss.

Siakam would be our missing piece as our starting centre. Kai needs to watch a million hours of Siakam tape and eat it all up.

Our team is better this year than last, but they still exhibit some of the same characteristics that got them into a losing streak at the end of season (when they needed wins) and a crappy play in loss. Youth explains some of it, coaching a bit more, personnel (or lack of key position talent) the rest.

We are built for some good fun and even dazzling performance in the regular season. I don’t see a winning playoff team yet.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Probably lose regardless, but this team really struggles when Hayward doesn't play.
