A lot of our problem is that we are a soft jumpshooting team.

LaMelo is soft, Miccic and Mann can’t guard anyone, Mark is soft, Brandon Miller is no tough guy

The physical players on our team are Grant, Green, Diabiate, Salaun

If we have a night where the jumpers are not falling, who can get a basket at the rim?

Used to be Miles, I don’t know what his role is anymore. Feels like just a rando about to get traded.

the loss of Grant Williams on court leadership has left a hole

27% from the floor and 10% from three, I feel lucky to only be down 27

The little 'Happy Holidays' beneath that 62-31 score almost feels like a taunt at this point.

How quickly they devolved into embarrassingly bad

can't even make it to Christmas before hope is lost.

Maybe next year

This is why Melo plays the way he does. He literally has no help.

Bridges is definitely on the trade block. He's been a disappointment after the contract.

Just need to get Miller healthy , keep Lamelo healthy along with Mark and get them as much experience as possible

These contests will never be the same. Bro that’s just a cardboard cutout of a washer and dryer, make sure to give the holiday song trivia winner her actual machines, we fans are getting wise to your antics, Hornets. Ever vigilante.

you can see Ball has improved his defense as well, with the effort he's putting in it makes me nervous that he might crack it if they dont start improving soon

It’s one of those games where I want to look at the box score, but I’m afraid of how bad it’ll be.

I think he’s going to okay this season. If next season we’re not bare minimum a play in team him and his father might both start getting rowdy.

I honestly wouldn’t blame either of them.

Hopefully the promise of being "competitive" in his 8th year in the league is enough to placate him
