Love green dumping that straight into big Mark

Diop wrote:there were opportunities to feed Richards under the basket like that too, but Hornet guards went back to fanciful dribbling and tough shots around the perimeter instead.

frustrating.

Shouldn't be close when it's clear the Suns have no interior D. Great game from Mark at least.

So...this is the level of play I anticipated us having before the season started (went off the rails).

Suns cheerleaders get the Diop nod of approval

They look way better with some sustained help from their best players.

Why is Richard’s jumping at pump fakes at the 3 point line?

Has our half court Defense taken a step forward or is Phoenix just a mess of a team? Probably both?

Throwing this one away.

Contact allowed in the nba is so inconsistent

Williams was literally tackled to the ground on that dunk attempt, no call

This reffing is ****

Just a mix of bad reffing and Melo 3pt green light continuing to be questionable. Great first half by Mark. Not being able to feast on Plumlee in the 2nd half slowed him down.

Oh well. The tank continues, onto the next.

entire team ran out of gas at the same time. Melo took some unacceptable shots also

Ugly end (for a number of reasons) to a largely well played game - or at least a promising one. I'll call it a good L.

Lolmelo. We can't win with his 3 ball spam at such a high volume. The offense is to reliant on him for it to work. Just thowing up junk. SMH, this is our superstar.

Please for the love of god, someone who can get into the paint and make good decisions. All I’m asking for

Competitive loss. Salaün looks pretty lost out there and his minutes are taking a hit lately. It's a disservice to him he's not playing 30 minutes in the Gleague. Every time he dribbles the ball he gets into trouble lately. I think Peterson selected the worst dribbler in the draft. The only way to make up for it is to draft the best dribbler in 2025.

Dylan Harper.

Hornets bench lost this game. We really have a dysfunctional offense without the bench scoring running through Tre Mann because Tre creates shots for himself and others.

The 4 core players in the starting lineup (excluding Josh Green) looked good. Their biggest issue was LaMelo's shot selection.

But they showed they can play competitive against teams with stars when everyone is healthy.

Nick Smith Jr. didn't hit his shots in the midrange but he did go 2-4 from 3 and doesn't look overmatched. He had 2 really bad turnovers. The game started to turn on his first one - a lazy pass. He led the bench with 8 points but needed 10 shots. Is he ever going to hit those point blank midrange shots? It would make him more valuable because he just can't get to the rim.

No Diabaté tonight.
