I can't stomach anything I'm seeing right now.


Our eldest players Grant and Micic are playing like rookies. I expect experience to matter, but it doesn't right now.

So if the vets are going to make rookie mistakes, NSJ and Salaun should eat their minutes.

The experience gives us no advantage.

Lamelos turnovers are a massive problem

Richards has been outstanding.

Lol. Richards taking a 3 out if a timeout. Almost like Lee wrote it up

TS hustle alone makes him valuable. Honestly he looked confused as hell on defense but he was everywhere.

This is the ugliest way I've ever seen a big lead cut to 2 possessions.

Once again, through all the frustration, Hornets are playing even with fringe playoff teams, despite being down 3 starters.

I'm on him but he's been solid tonight, rebounding and defending well. A few butterfingers moments fumbling the ball but he's in position to defend.

As much as I want the playoffs the thought of adding a potential Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey sounds too good to pass up.

Im torn on this season im 50/50 playoffs or tank. The injuries will play a huge factor in our direction.

Kinda embarrassing Heat can barely beat us missing half our team on a back to back. They ain’t going anywhere this year

Heat making 3s on 5 straight possessions sucks. If we can ever get healthy we are a good team. Tanking is dumb.

tanking is dumb but we really only have 3 starters and 3 bench players on this team right now. these last two games are games you have to win to be a serious playoff contender. we are not, so we didn’t

We're too dependent on 3's. Seth and sometimes Melo are our only legitimately good/very good 3pt shooters.

It's way to early about tanking/playoffs. If we stay reasonably healthy, we'll be a fringe playin team. If we get injured, then tanking will choose itself.

Tanking in itself happens by injuries or just being bad. We are not a bad team. People saying to tank 3 games in when we're missing 3 starters is wild to me.

Rested game against the raptors with Miller back will be an early reset button opportunity

Get through these first 10 games 4-6 (which would be amazing with 2 games against boston) and we will be fine. Even 3-7
