Thank god for mark. Perfect easy oop to him off the roll. We’ve missed that so much

mark with the tap out. To an immediate three by miles. Shit man.
Mark please please stay healthy

You can see flashes of what this group can be

Oh yeah

if some of these were dropping for mark he’d be cooking

I like Kelly Oubre, but if he keeps barking at our bench he’s going to get his ass regulated. Cmon Kelly.

you look like a dick for being bitter about being shunned by one of the worst teams in the league only to go sign a small contract elsewhere. Get a grip, I hope you get regulated. Cmon dude

AH LAWD MELO TO MARK

Mark with the block

omg guys. My heart. I just don’t want to get disappointed again

Has it been a full year since we’ve seen Melo and mark on the floor together??

spectre

I know right! Nice having a big who can catch a pass

At least

powellrmp

Ah, the hornets legend. Kyle Lowry

Classic hornets. Don’t get the obvious foul on Drummond. Also, I feel like a lot of fouls against the opposing team are “late foul calls”. Like “eh I guess we should call this”. We routinely get jobbed by the refs and I will not stand down from that

I haven’t been crazy about trading nick Richards but now that we have Moussa I’m down with it

I like Isaiah wong

Uh, yeah dude. That’s a charge to me.

like, it wouldn’t be a question if his feet were flat and be flopped like a little bitch

his feet were set with the thought of “lemme brace myself because I’m about to get hit”

It’s beautiful that things have fallen off the cliff when mark has been out

I’d like to see our guys fight through screens differently. I want to see our guys straight up shoulder check defenders. Sure, it may be a foul. But people setting screens don’t forget that shit

I did that with screeners who would lean into me or “chicken wing” the screen. A shoulder or elbow to the chest checks that shit real quick

When you do that, you draw more ref eyeballs to screens. The screens are noticed more. You establish a level of physicality with negotiating screens and can begin to make a point about the bad screens.

and the more you make screeners think twice about screening you, the more likely they are to set bad screens to avoid getting decked

CHALLENGE THAT COACH LEE

Good ending to the half!

When is the last time we beat Philly? Feels like it’s been years

tnhornetsfan

Finally. I still think they need to run. Be the new showtime. LaMelo is so good playing that pace.

It's definitely been fun to watch the transition game with Lamelo, Miles and the bigs.

I was curious to see how Lamelo, Brandon and Miles fit together now that they're finally all back. Unfortunately, Brandon seems to have disappeared.

powellrmp

Perfect example

that’s two fouls on miller on his way to the basket

fuck that. Grab the tech Brandon. No one is going to speak up for you

tnhornetsfan

Miller going to CPD after the game to file an assault report

Eastley

Lol, he was fouled 3x on that drive without a call

powellrmp

I really hate the fan that has the “all the refs are against us and this shit is rigged”. Because that’s not what I mean, but most people get a foul call multiple times, but Brandon and Melo generally don’t

I just don’t understand how you don’t blow the whistle and Brandon doesn’t get a continuation and 1

this is why a lot of people hate watching the nba, as do I. The refs decide games and it’s a lot of bullshit

And it’s not a partisan issue. To me, I’m fine with fouls called on both sides. But that rarely happens for our guys

This is a shit show

Eric Collins: “I have an actual scare from council bluff Iowa”.

With no clarification

Oh look, Wong earns a foul by FIGHTING THROUGH A SCREEN

meloFan

I love Moussa

powellrmp

i can only pray that I ranted that into reality

when you’re physical, you force the call

Oh great. Miller is hurt

meloFan

oh no

powellrmp

we finally have everyone together. Goddamn this team is cursed

And it can’t be a 3rd string guy… it has to be a star player to go down.

Of freakin course

meloFan

to the lockerroom

Mich_Mercer

how do we have such shitty luck.

tnhornetsfan

The curse is alive and well

DemonDeaCat

First game in over a year with Lamelo, Brandon, Miles and Mark together and it lasts exactly 1 game.

tnhornetsfan

Can't even get a full game with the starting 5

powellrmp

this team is perma fucked

Franchise*

tnhornetsfan

The inconsistency of officiating is infuriating

powellrmp

Left ankle sprain will not return

fuck I hate being a fan of this team

It’s just hard to care

Eastley

I'm pretty sure he tweaked his left leg in the first play in the 4th and was tender on it until the eventual drive that he went out on

powellrmp

I can’t watch anymore. I’ve gotta take a break guys

Eastley

I love what wong brings to the table

I would say it is time to tank this season but we don’t have to try. While trying to win we can’t overcome all the farging injuries and we will be a top lottery team anyway. There is a whole lot of promise beyond this season if in the future we can break the injury curse.
