Maybe we’re just like every other fan base and overrate the hell out of our talent.

I think the team has quit on Lee. You can't defend getting blown out by the Wizards.
He's Peterson guy so I doubt he's fired after his 1st year.

Jordan Poole goes cherry picking twice in a row. Embarrassing.

20+ first half deficit to the Wizards is nasty, nasty work.
Moose makes Bismack look like Jerry Rice

Yeah, I'm about 99% sure Lee has lost the locker room already. Maybe we just have spoiled, awful players and no coach can coach them.

Re: GT: HORNETS at WIZ THU DEC 26 7PM
I haven't said much about Lee, but when you start noticing a trend it's time to say something. I'm not a fan of this 3pt heavy system. All Melo/Miller do is chuck up 3's. If their shots aren't falling this team is a trainwreck.
This isn't going to result in winning basketball. That system worked in Boston because they had the best roster in basketball. Hornets don't have those kind of players. Something needs to change we have to get easier buckets. Chucking 3's is just developing lazy bad habits.
It sucks because even if I wanted Lee fired he will have 2 years at minimum. They sold themselves as a long-term fix. I guess the owners will make that decision.

I'm not even sure Lee has lost the locker room, but I will concede if he has it would look something like this.
I just think our role players have given us nothing. Martin and Green have been net negatives. The same goes for Nick. Micic and Salaun. The veteran savvy of Brogdon and Valuncunias picks them apart.
Miller, Melo and Miles have at least been doing something.

Our owners literally can’t afford to fire Lee. Probably ask the city to fund half of an actual NBA staff

I love seeing Lamelo continue to play hard but his shot selection sometimes bothers the **** out of me

Been a while since it's been the case, but the Charlotte Hornets are the worst team in the NBA.

At this point, there's not even a question about it. I don't know that we're gonna avoid 70 losses this season. Hell, 10-72 is a tough ask at this rate. Who would you pick this team, as it's playing and coached, to beat?

Hornets are so bad the Wizards don't even bother playing defense. They play Chino Hills defense. That go ahead and shoot defense. That hurry up so we can go make another layup defense.
