Wow is this Hornets offense painful

[Wolfgang630]

Now hornets only down by 1 lol

Wow is this Hornets offense painful

Rozier is not a point guard, I don't why Clifford insists on playing him as one. They have 2 other point guards with the size to play alongside Rozier but the Rainman (clifford) will never change his roles

[Diop]

Or Charlotte are finally accepting the tank

[KingFox]

Read on Twitter

Wtf this guy is injured again? They need to win games

His threshold for pain must be incredibly low. If this is a rest game, you'd think he would rest against Memphis. They were never winning that game

Suns starting 5 looks amazing on paper. But that bench....

[SlovenianDragon]

its a good thing Oubre is so good looking....

I don't know if any player gets away with sneaky vet tricks on defense as much as Al Horford. The dude is just always pushing and handchecking dudes' bodies and never gets called for it lol. Such a smart player though. Kinda reminds me in CP3 as far as some of the ways he's been able to sustain his value late in his career.

they're a bit thin on the bench but let's not get carried away

Payne \ Terenence Ross \ Damion Lee \ Landale \ TJ Warren

not the best bench for sure, but all are serviceable rotation players

I don't like Damion lee but the rest could fit just about anywhere

nothing to see here, just a regular bench
with rotations shortening in the playoffs it's less of an issue unless you have a really abysmal bench - which they don't

Embiid didn't wanna take another beating from the Heat, I see..

[The High Cyde]

Ashley ShahAhmadi, ooooof good lord

[Duke4life831]

Is Zion going to play again this season?

Haha I’ll go with he plays 10 more games

[AleksandarN]

Embiid didn't wanna take another beating from the Heat, I see..

He is hurt.

Spoiler:

That he won’t win MVP

[cjx]

Mark Williams got next, fam, build around him an' Kai Jones

He is hurt.

he's not "hurt"
he's been with this foot injury for weeks by his own admission and played thru it claiming he'll rest the all-star weekend to be healthy as possible for the playoffs

naturally, he didn't do any of that and instead sitting on a back to back a couple of weeks post the ASB

"hurt" means - can't play
Embiid can play, he would have played if this game was more important \ a playoff game

he's just resting...load managing
as usual he never load-manages the easy games

that's fine btw, he should be load-managed they have a shot at a ring nobod cares about the regular season finishing 3rd or 4th makes no real difference

heck depends on seedings, might even get a better matchup as a result who knows
so win-win


edit: lmfao, I didn't see there was a spoiler

its a good thing Oubre is so good looking....

He'd still be an NBAer without his looks...but I do sometimes wonder how his career earnings would look if he wasn't the prettiest player in the NBA

[cjx]

These NBA players are too delicate, fam

[yoyoboy]

Commentators always talk about the Cavs' size, which is funny because we have to be rocking one of the shortest starting lineups in the league.

Garland - 6'1
Mitchell - 6'1
Okoro - 6'5
Mobley - 6'11
Allen - 6'9

Now last year with Okoro in place of Mitchell and 7 ft Markkanen in place of Okoro we were huge.

And in his personal life I’m sure.
