I kinda feel like everything is just going to be sort of “blah” until we get everyone back - especially LaMelo.

Has anyone seen Gordon Hayward on the sidelines recently? Perhaps he was at the home games, but I missed it.

I wouldn't even be mad if we tanked out, we could still get 6th or 7th best odds in a great top 4 draft

No, no, and NO! The losing mentality for this franchise, especially with LaMelo, just isn't it. We have the players...and we actually have the coach. This isn't the Bobcats, this is the Hornets.

Waiting for the actual starting lineup is like playing roulette. Will the ball land on 0? Perhaps lucky 7?

Tae - TRo - Twin #1 - Miles - PJ

What do you think about that one?

LOL. Kevin Love wanted none of that Bridges dunk.

I don't like starting Martin unless McDaniels is injured.

Can you imagine what Embiid would do to us in the playoffs even if we got everyone back?

If this was our team all season, I don’t think we’d be any better than Houston, Orlando, Minn

I wonder if JB is looking to bring some scoring punch off the bench - so Twin #1 goes into the starting unit and McD off the pine?

Biz with a legit contender for the shortest airball of all time.

At least the team is playing with more energy and intent tonight (compared to last nights disaster).

It’s so difficult to watch this team struggle to score so much. We just have to find a way to win games when we play other bad teams. We may only need 3-5 more before we get LaMelo back and maybe Monk isn’t far behind.

A twilight struggle and it's only the end of the first quarter.

We can also benefit from Terry getting back to March Terry but he is the focal point of the opposing teams defense every single night now.

Man, that 12 minutes of Church League basketball sure did hurt my eyes lol. We really have to get it together...it would be much better for the team to be in a solid groove by the time the other players return.

Clearly shuffling feet, not a charge. Cmon now

32% FG, 16% on 3’s. Out-rebounded 16-10 so far too. Only saving grace is no turnovers while they have 7
