Diabete has such bad hands. Like so bad. Worst I’ve ever seen bad.

Going with Miller for the game winner is stupid.

Kinda how I feel, especially if they give it to the other guy in a similar situation.

Oh well

I didn’t see a team that quit on their coach in the second half, but maybe Gibson took over after the break?

Disappointing loss. Still have too many back breaking possessions where you get a stop but don’t get the rebound. None of the top 4 guys got injured, so maybe we can see if they build some chemistry getting to play two games in a row together.

I appreciate the optimism after a narrow loss to a team so bad it can't beat anyone but the sorry Hornets, but that doesn't exactly mean Lee deserves anything other than the title "former Hornets coach".

Buddy, Cooper Flagg will never wear a Hornets jersey. Whether it's 7-75 (hopefully, because Lee would get fired), 8-74 or 9-73, this team's not getting a top-three pick for its troubles.

After a team meeting you go out and still lose to the Wizards.

Need a new coach, man. (And someone other than Josh Green shooting free throws. His genes are clutch-free).

I’m always optimistic. There is no optimism here.

I’ll say this again cause it bears repeating. The player I am most disappointed in this season is Josh Green. Far and away. I expected much more out of this guy, and by the way he talks about him, so does coach. But every night he gets major minutes and really produces very little. He gets jammed off screens like a kid playing against men. This mess is not all on him by any means, but we really needed a quality guard helping this starting unit be successful…and he ain’t it.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I thought Mann earned the starting spot with Tre's preseason.

The coach recently threatened punishment for playing poorly but never rewarded Tre with a starting job that was never an open competition.

So coach looks like a hypocrite.

This is an easy problem to solve with Josh being such a **** black hole on offense.

I will also celebrate when Cody Martin is off the roster. Please let it happen at the trade deadline.

No time for nostalgia. He's a zero on offense like Green. In today's high-scoring game you can't carry one zero, let alone 2. It's such a disservice to the players who pull their own weight on offense.

JP's biggest addition to the roster was Salaün. Next biggest was Josh Green.

Not a good inaugural season for the new GM and his coach.

I know some players on this team can't stand losing. Losing to the worst team twice now must make the blood boil for them.

At some point you have to at least shuffle the deck if you're Peterson or these players will start going after eachother, going after coach, or both.

Please JP, don't be the referee who lets the game get out of hand.

Just a bizarre schizo team the past two games.

In the first half everyone looks lethargic and checked out, you'd swear they have quit on Lee. In the second half everyone locks in, makes a run to whittle down the big deficit, seem to really care.

I don't know what to even think about that other than that maybe the team needs to institute a new rule that only LaMelo gets to smoke blunts before games because he has the highest tolerance.

I think the Wizards are just pretty hard to lose to, and yet we found a way. It’ll take an extreme outlier shooting night for tomorrow to not be a complete massacre for 4 full quarters

Yeah dude, its not possible for this team to get a top 3 pick. Its just not something that could ever happen.
