This is as close to a must-win game as you have at this point in the season. Problem is that Houston views it as that type of game as well.

Need to contain Sengun he has been excellent this season.

Do they know it’s a must-win game? Does anyone care? They came out completely not ready to play in the last game. Maybe being on the road will be an inspiration.

don’t think any game 4 out of 82 is must-win outside of a coach that jumps on a table and guarantees a win in game 3 and loses.

If the game goes south and we have our normal shooting problems, I wouldn’t mind giving Nick Smith some burn to get out any jitters. I think he can help with scoring in time.

Right now, LeMelo, Theo, Richards and Thor aren’t helping much, though LaMelo will eventually get going. The other three not so much. At least Theo is active moving the ball and on D.

Speaking of moving the ball - we’re not. Guys are giving up and running iso’s way too often. LaMelo’s vaunted passing doesn’t work if no one is moving/screening/giving a damn.

Almost game time… just in time for Bally Sports to be down again. You have to be kidding me?

I was just about to message and see if anyones bally was working. I cant log in

They tweeted. It’s down again. Such bullshit. Two games in a row I can’t watch. It’s unacceptable but the league or teams seam to not care enough to do anything about it. Pretty soon I’ll stop being a fan I guess since I live too far to go to a lot of games.

I would cancel… but you can’t even login to cancel. It’s pretty sweet!

Can’t imagine the Hornets are too stoked that they’ve got an exciting young player generating fan interest and their tv provider can’t broadcast the games properly.

Well, I know I’m jazzed to refresh the box score for the next few hours to see how "It's Miller Time!" is doing.

Big ups!

Back in my day, we had to watch the ticker stream by on ESPN to see how our Bobcats were faring. And we had to look at that ticker uphill both ways.

It’s unbelievable man… it really is. Going on 3 days now.

Chef steadies himself on his cane: I remember how amazed I was at the steady stream of information scrolling along the bottom of the screen. At the same time knowing exactly where the first down line was with the fancy yellow line

18

Wowzers, lamelo first out for the rook. Even coach recognizes melo has been pretty lousy this year

19

He has been doing that all season… its a part of easing him back in he comes back around 3 minute mark

Really hoping for a great showing from BMill tonight

Mich_Mercer

Hope "It's Miller Time!" goes for 30 tonight.

spectre

5 of 6 starting out

dnbman

Hayward and Washington like "we're not dead yet."

spectre

b nice to get a stop or 2

dnbman

Spectre, you need to direct your comments to the Hornets. I think the Rockets heard you.

spectre

Terry struggling trying to play point

lol no kidding. Starting to think van fleet wasn’t ever going to miss

Keetch

Thor w the steal but gives it back.

Terry ugh

spectre

Not sure how thor wasn’t fouled tho

Keetch

Terry lob to Hayward, yeah no

spectre

ya goal got in the way!

Keetch

players are very handsyvthis year and refs don’t call.

Except LaMelo, but his are swipes and ez calls

spectre

omg really

Keetch

Miller time

spectre

maybe its the angle but it looked like he barely touched him

Keetch

Wowza Thor

GoBobcats24

Maybe we can try to hold Rockets under 60% shooting…

Keetch

Oh my this 1st quarter is not ending well

spectre

Gave up 39 sheesh

Keetch

Miller 3 fouls at 10 mins. left in 2nd. Not good

Thor jumps at 37 year old Jeff Greens ball fake, then fouls him driving for a layup

spectre

not much positive to say here

Keetch

Hayward trying too hard stripped in paint runout dunk

nope

spectre

foul call finally goes our way. Houston has been quicker to the ball thru most of the game

GoBobcats24

Miller got a touch foul, an accidental elbow foul and a coin toss blocking foul. Sucks

spectre

hey random white wing didn’t go off on us but its still early lol

Keetch

I thought Landale might

spectre

still early!

Keetch

we just look so slow and disorganized compared to other teams

even bad teams

+1 2
GoBobcats24

Every team in the NBA can't miss from 3 against us

+1 1
spectre

Theo!

now that was a stellar pick by terry

cltblkhscoach

Go Bobcats I'm amazed at how well anyone shoots from 3 against us. Might be a new Hornets Law except ATL.did struggle game 1

GoBobcats24

This has always happened to us as long as Clifford has coached

cltblkhscoach

Wow Mark

Keetch

Did Jalen Green just try to shoot it from behind the backboard? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before

spectre

Oh wow lol mark

Good seeing mark getting some touches

Keetch

yeah they need to look for Mark and Mark and Miller more

cltblkhscoach

Theo making things happen

Keetch

PJ shooting it!

I like Theo

spectre

dont look now but we’re coming back

Keetch

Kid has heart

cltblkhscoach

Gordon having a good night finally. Great stuff going into the half

+1 1
Keetch

Time to sit Mark Coach.

cltblkhscoach

:joy::joy::joy::joy:

Keetch

No sh*t

cltblkhscoach

Van Fleet is a jerk man damn

Keetch

our guys should just stop trying lefty layups

FVV is a true dawg. Wichita State!

spectre

Down by only 3 what a nice little run

Keetch

We’re somehow in this thing. Definitely picked up the pace and physical

Got

Wow Bobby Knight passed away.

spectre

Oh no

Keetch

PJ leads team w 14 pts, 4/5 from 3

LaMelo w 11 minutes out of 24

not in foul trouble. It’s a problem.

did they give us any idea LaMelo wasn’t ready? I thought they inferred just the opposite

Eastley

Lamelo looks off, very off

Keetch

Then the season started

spectre

they really don’t tell us crap

Keetch

Ya that’s so bad

Eastley

They are aware of the situation and are currently gathering information.

spectre

tell ya tho before his injury last season he was good for something close to unbelievable at least once a game. Don’t think we’ve seen one yet. He’ll get back to form

Keetch

No doubt. He’s an exceptional player. Got to get right. Hornets depend on him 100%

spectre

Helps going back watching highlights. Trust me lol!

Keetch

Ya I may have to do that

Eastley

I wish Melo would just attack the rim instead of that 30' 3 attempt out of the half

spectre

Ive always felt he’s been too quick pulling that trigger but not so terrible if he’s hitting

cltblkhscoach

What kind of damn defense

Eastley

Bee-fence?

Give up 3-fence?

spectre

what was that like 4 in a row wide open smh

Keetch

Must be nice to watch your team hit 3’s

spectre

wth

Eastley

We were that team a few years ago, remember?

Keetch

effing flop bad Reffing

Eastley

Melo can't put himself in that situation to let Brooks get that call

spectre

seems they’re now calling those light brush fouls but I think the player has to be wearing teal

Eastley

Where would we be tonight without pj?

spectre

all season so far he’s been most consistent

Eastley

Makes sense coach world pull him. Let me find my sign

dnbman

At this point Cliff just hates HornetsPlanet.

GoBobcats24

We deserve to lose this game

Keetch

What a mess

GoBobcats24

I guess Miller will be in after this timeout. That didn't look good for Thompson

Eastley

Could be worse, we could be playing Boston tonight

+1 1
spectre

Hope Thompson’s ok

Keetch

we’re very skilled at doubling off of good 3 pt shooters

or not getting into break 3’s

thats seems to be the Cliff way

oh hell that ankle rolled way over

spectre

They show that injury report like there could be help coming eventually
