Looks like Miller will miss his 1st game vs his idol PG smh.

Why is PJ Washington guarding Harden on back to back possessions? He clearly can't keep in front of him.

NS Jr into the game to start the second quarter. Hopefully he's given an opportunity to remain in the rotation for a while by Cliff.

(Not so) Fun fact: Before tonight Miles Bridges is shooting 24% from three in December on 7 attempts a game. He is 0-4 so far tonight.

2 points in four minutes so far in the fourth. We just have these anemic runs where we can't score every game and it absolutely kills us.

Mensah with a nice late weakside block on Theis and then gets the charge on Harden - He's a smart defensive player with decent timing.

"Brandon Miller and Mark Williams are for Charlotte's game on Tuesday night. However, Steve Clifford says Ball has progressed to doing on the court the work, per ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk. There is no timetable for Ball's return. Still, his progression is a good sign for Charlotte."

Cody Martin more defensive effort in 6 quarters than the rest of the team combined all year long.

Showing it's a severe effort issue by everyone else

He might have just given away a four point play to flopper Harden but damn am I happy to see Martin in the rotation. Beautiful pin block chasing down in transition. Someone giving a **** going the other way is a nice change.

Nobody on our team has scored more than 8.

Nobody on the Clippers have scored more than 9, besides Harden at 20.

Offense is bad this game.

The fact that Ashley wasn't wrapped up under my Christmas tree is a massive disappointment

the way the team reacts after Harden passes out of the double team is horrendous. They look completely lost.

We are showing some free flowing offense to finish the third.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
