GT: Hornets at Nets Tues Nov 19 7:30PM

[stormi]

You bench Melo up until 3:30 to go and then you throw your best at them. Mind boggling idiotic not to have him out there if you want to win.

Why did Lee bench Lamelo?

Wasn't able to catch the game today, was worried he got hurt from the box score.

[Diop]

I'm fine with Melo being benched, he's shot terribly this and the previous game.

Hopefully it's not his ankles or wrist acting up.

We win if he plays the last 9 minutes.

i dunno about that, i wanted him for the last shot but he was stinking up the game

[SWedd523]

Benching the best 4th quarter scorer in the league and top 3 pg in the league right now is mind boggling. I get it for a little bit but damn.

Played like ass all night, continued forcing bad shots, and more of that mind numbingly stupid habit of taking a bad shot and immediately following it up with a spastic foul as the other team breaks down the floor.

And him not being on the court is a third of the reason why we lost.

Odd take considering Mann outplayed him all night

For me, at the end of the day, I don't care.

This season is about this team learning to intelligently play the game of basketball. Melo needs to learn that more than anyone on this roster if we're ever going to do anything with a damn. He can't keep make these immature momentum killing decisions, he has to work that out of his game.

[8miles]

Not gonna win many games turning it over 21 times. And also playing without a center because your 1st round draft pick center is a glorified paper weight

[Liver_Pooty]

Got Mann who weighs 125 pounds constantly guarding someone who looks like he plays middle linebacker for the Baltimore ravens anyway. The hell was that

I appreciate the coach being willing to do that considering the circumstance.

I can agree with that. I also want to make the playoffs. Lol that's literally all I want.

[yosemiteben]

I guess the new Josh Green thing is he scores in the first quarter and then isn't allowed to try to score again.

Tiddy gets 11pts, 8 rebs and 2 blks in 14 minutes and he still catches stray shots

[Diop]

If Ben Simmons wasn't scared of playing in the 4th quarter, Watford would have stayed on the bench and would have won

At least one of our recent first rounders is playing minutes! Obviously am talking about Mark Williams FWIW

ahk, makes sense. thought it was more Salaun is a crab argument.

this was the right team to play small against. which worked about half the time

[JDR720]

This is one of the worst losses we've had in a while. Not counting getting blowout by whoever, but a game we should've won.

Brandon played very well. Miles too. TJ looked solid. Mann did good, on offense at least. We made 55% of our 3's.

Like, it's hard to lose a game when all those things happen at the same time. But the turnovers, and the refs too, screwed us.

Maybe Melo would've made some shots, but I don't have an issue with him being benched. Maybe this motivates him to not make so many bad decisions.

[Liver_Pooty]

Miller got his stroke back. Miles is playing well. Self inflicted wounds. I swear I'd rather damn near lose by 20 than lose games like these with turnovers out the ass.

[8miles]

Sadly this isn’t the first and probably won’t be the last time we lose to a team missing their best player. And losses like this are ones you look at when you miss the play-in or have to win twice

Lol definitely thought you meant Salaun as well

Im afraid he's always going to make bad decisions. For the next couple years anyway. People get on him for i guess acting prissy if that's even the right word and driving all these cars and outfits but the dude does play hard and gets emotional. Also acts like a brat sometimes out there but so did Kemba. Hopefully it stops. If it does hes damn near unstoppable.

[8miles]

Whoops.. I like what I’ve seen from him so far and even then he’s a project. Mark Williams is committing check fraud and stealing money

[Diop]

i still want Miles driving more so defenses at least think they have to guard the ring, its my favourite part of his game.
