I haven’t seen every game, but I can only think of the first Orlando game as a blowout. For the most part, the guys have completed. Other teams in other seasons would’ve rolled over in a lot of these. Don’t get the board’s general pessimism outside of the guys that thought, despite many major questions, the guys were going to be winning. If you told me the Hornets would be competitive without LaMelo and Miles (not to mention Mann) in Mark’s first game back against the sixers, I’d be pretty satisfied. I am satisfied.

Instead, it’s posts like “We are getting worse and worse and worse.” Maybe we should hedge some expectations. Whatever.


Night and day. I stopped watching the team last year because they stopped competing early. Aside from a game or two, this team has fought pretty hard every game this season. Been fun to watch.

Refs forced to blow that whistle. Irritating. Call the foul.

My wife watched the end of the game with me, knows very little about basketball, and said the exact same thing. "Why do they force it to the same player every time?"

why not make it a bit easier for Miller pass into someone else and run Miller off some screens?

help get him some room?

Last few inbounds didn't say a lot about Lee for sure.

Miller played about as well you can hope in this situation. If I could critique him it would be the last few games I feel like he forced a shot when the clock wasn’t necessarily against him.

The three vs Atlanta was with 9 seconds
Tonight he takes a tough floater down 2 with nearly a full shot clock. He will learn the more we put him in these spots.

At least these games are now competitive instead of blowouts. Im actually impressed considering this roster hasn't been healthy all season.

Lee needs time and I think he will figure out how to use Miller. Right now he's just taking a bunch of 3's. I would like to see him in pick n roll or pick n pop situations.

To be fair Phil Jackson could be our coach and we would **** up an inbounds play

Our record could easily be flopped backwards if a ball went here call went there and just 1 extra player was healthy a game.

I watched about 40% of that game on fast forward, our offense was a train wreck. Liked how we played with KJ out there and I honestly still don't understand why we don't let NSJ do his best Mann impression. We are so hurting for any on ball juice right now.

We were -11 in Mark's 8 minutes tonight, which checks out. That dude looked like he had a years worth of rust.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to stick Mark in the G-League for a while to get himself in shape.
