He somehow one ups himself every game. It never fails. This guy’s inbounds plays are legitimately horrendous in every respect. It’s an embarrassment

Attempted 30 free throws and lost in the final seconds. Universe kept trying to hand us a win but we weren't having none of it.

Eh. Every coach he’s ever played for including Izzo has said the same thing. If anything he’s the culture we want to be.

Without the wife throwing off a roof thing. Dude plays hard and if he’s hurt he’s coming back soon.

They don't want to play for this team/may not have much interest in playing the game either way. Which is fine, because I also don't want them here.

Worst coach in the league. We knew this. It's not anything new. I can't get on the beer-league guys playing hard and not having the skill to finish off a game. They at least show effort and it's appreciated.

Besides, nobody's been a good FT shooter on the Hornets since the early '90s, and the two so-called stars are the softest players in a league full of soft players.

I mean, let's break it down.

- two great players
- deathly scared of playing the game for this team
- when they play their bi-weekly game, you lose
- when they don't play, you lose

So what exactly do they bring to the table besides your 2K roster being more competitive? Street clothes don't score points.

I'm pretty sure you were all-in on the Trade LaMelo train for most of last season. He's malingering even more this year, but now you're on his side?

They aren’t great players. Yet. I’m also certain the medical team / organization is damn near being over precautionary at this point.

I’m a tankaholic at this point, so it was good for that at least.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

If I believed tanking would help this team win, I'd be there with you. But it doesn't make a difference. Best-case scenario, you move up in the draft and take a player so good, you hold him out. And worst-case, you move down and take a player who underachieves and plays 75-82 games a year. If it wasn't such a lose-lose proposition I'd support it.

They're brilliantly gifted, but they have 0 desire to suit up for the Hornets. And, lucky for them, the team has decided to chase a new all-time losing streak record over bringing the two delicate flowers up for a monthly game.

Lamelo is gifted. Miller isn’t near that yet. But yeah we can agree the team is being a little ridiculous with this injury stuff. I honestly don’t think it’s necessarily on the players to be honest.
