No clue if Ant or LaMelo are playing. We need a good team effort on the road against a team that has a couple of recent quality wins. Continue to prove this is a new year and beat the teams we should.

Go Wolves!!!

Read on Twitter

I'm curious to see if Nix gets minutes again or if Minott gets some non-garbage time run.

There is no energy for the Hornets at home - good news for us!

Since they’ve been drafted, how often have we actually seen Ant and Ball on the same court against each other?

This is another team that looks petrified to go inside against Gobert.

Wolves shooting 68% so far, Hornets 28% in a 26-14 lead.

I'm not sure if that's 3 or 4 turnovers trying to feed Gobert. The Wolves need to be much smarter on when they try getting him the ball.

Slowmo has been so ass

Weird that lobs to Gobert have been much improved but Anderson who is usually a pretty great passer has been struggling with it.

6 assists and 0 turnovers last game. Plays every game, one of the league leaders in defensive rating. Great job running offense as backup pg this year.

This game though - not good so far. Naz looks good today though.

Very sloppy here

I'm starting to wonder if Nix or Minott might provide more than Shake.

Would not be surprised if we drop this game

Murphs56 · Post #15 » by **Murphs56** » Sat Dec 2, 2023 11:00 pm

Going to have to grind this one out because the hornets just have more talented offensive players than us right now.

Defense has been bad this quarter. Very bad

A big part of that is the Hornets have hit a ton of really hard shots.

NAW taking 3s off the dribble is just not a part of his skill set. Catch and shoot 3s or walking into a 3 are good shots for NAW, but much of any lateral movement before the shot throws him off.

We're gonna lose this one, Hornets playing way harder, want it more.
They've actually been better since Lamelo went out, but this effort is embarrassing from a 14-4 team.

Absolutely atrocious guard play. Not intense enough on defense.
Shake Milton looks like a player on fringe of making a roster let alone an NBA rotation.
NAW going chucker mode.
Kyle Anderson looks 60 years old. Turns down a wide open layup to throw it out to the 3 point line.
After 3 early buckets KAT silent, out with foul trouble yet again.

About all we got going is Naz Reid and Gobert dump off dunks.
How many weeks in a row do we have to be dysfunctional on offense before changes are made?

Tough one as expected. Offense is not too good but not bad considering Ant out and KAT fouls issue. Credit to Charlotte who shoot well. We will have to fight until the end .
