George is one of the worst passers i have ever seen. No way he's actually that bad. Has to be lazyness.

PG has 5-10 brain farts a game.
Do we want Dakari on Dwight when Adams is on the bench?
Defense has looked solid

Rolling with PG+Bench then our last possession being a PG iso+turnover (naturally)? It's as if he's deliberately making the worst decisions possible.

Now we are going with the dumb all bench lineup. Either Russ and Steven, or Paul and Melo should be on the floor with the bench at all times. Hornets will make a run here.

Charlotte shot almost fifty percent in the first quarter. Now we start the second with an all bench unit.

Can we please stop pretending that Huestis can guard quick wings? He just got destroyed 3 times in a row by **** MCW.

Great time out from Billy. “Guys I know you aren’t very talented and I’m depriving you of any competent help but could you please do better? It would make me look really smart in front of my bestie boss.”

Alex made two shots. I’m getting a premonition of Billy’s next chess move for the starting lineup.

This is just not fun to watch. Sloppy defense, flowless offense. Bad basketball.

Cage and Davis fill any dead air with complaining about officiating.

Offense is so stagnant.
Pretty sure Dwights goal tended three times.
Melo is worthless if he isnt getting buckets.
PG hitting shots he needs to come off those screens quicker

We aren't going to win this one either, and the constant switching is terrible.

It wasn’t ever really a thing. He had one game where he hit a bunch of catch and shoot threes. Everyone praised him and he rolled with it.
