Re: GT charlotte vs heat 3/17 1PM EST
I spoke before the season started about my rebounding concerns. But in reality this group has lots of issues, up and down the line. And despite the praise (many times deserved) for Kemba, he really isn’t the constant of excellence you need from a star player.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Re: GT charlotte vs heat 3/17 1PM EST
feels like this team has regressed over the season.
can we finally give up? let kemba and lamb walk, release Parker and let him finish with a winner
I wonder if MKG is sick of losing? he's had a decent pay day, he should opt out and go elsewhere as well.

Re: GT charlotte vs heat 3/17 1PM EST
I think we should let everyone go and take what we can get as far as draft picks. If we decide to keep the current roster I would much rather us invest the time in starting
Kemba
Lamb
Bacon
Miles
Biyombo
for the remainder of the season

I know Biz is rather clunky and can slow down the offence occasionally with his robotic moves and awkward passing, but surely he can't hurt the team offence that much.
There are plenty of other options for offence in that lineup. He's the only grown man we have

Didn't even watch, had a feeling they'd lose.

I wanted to put Zeller in there but I felt that would take the fun out of it. I wouldn't mind seeing Bacon given a chance after spending so much time in the D league.

75 pts in a game we were desperately trying to win? for **** sake, just stop trying to win already. its embarrassing. so disappointed in bridges this season.

I must admit I haven't watched as much as I'd like this year, but are we putting him in places to score or just going for the occasional alley oop and 3?

He plays the first 4 mins of the game and then gets pulled the first whistle after the 8min mark. It's like clockwork.
He doesn't get many chances - but based on some of his shot selection I'm not sure we should risk giving him too many more looks.
When he lets it come to him he flashes awesome potential, but when he forces the issue (which he does more often than not) it's a train wreak.

I don't think they're trying to win -- that's the problem.
Kemba has looked sort of checked out for awhile. Batum never checked in. I'm still not sure why Bridges is even starting, but he has seemed to accomplish less as a starter than when he was coming off the bench. Marvin tries, but he's just incapable at this point. Biz tries and you can see that he actually makes good plays on defense most of the time, but that's not going to take us very far.
Lamb and Parker seemed to be the only ones that actually gave a damn yesterday.
Borrego's lineups still make no sense to me. There's no reason we can't dislodge Batum and Marvin from the starting lineup after they've played like they have this season, especially when literally almost every other single player has had their minutes/roles completely screwed around with just about every week.

It does seem like Kemba, Batum, and Marv are the only ones that have not seen their playing time impacted, which does not make any sense, since Batum and Marv have been bad for most of the season.

Marv's been pretty consistent and done about as well as I hoped.
He's an overpaid role player, but he played his role this year

Just a bad basketball team with an inexperienced clueless coach. I really thought this team was good enough for a playoff spot, even at the allstar break. Since the break they have been terrible. Next year going to be even worse.

thanks slam, hopefully he can find a way to get comfortable out there
