Well we are underdogs to the Pistons tonight.

Let's hope we can get our first double digit victory of the season TONIGHT! We owe Detroit a stomping

spectre

I think they’re much better than their record indicates. Seems like they’re in every game

24 is balling!

GoBobcats24

He missed a couple he should have made too lol

He might avg 20 the rest of the season

spectre

He’s going to get the opportunity that’s for sure and I love that

cltblkhscoach

Ntilikina is in wow

GoBobcats24

Lol NSJ still banned

We play Frank over him in the 1st. So stupid

spectre

I forgot about him. Wasn’t impressed before he got hurt

ya cliff said in the pregame nsj wasn’t getting more minutes

GoBobcats24

This is just idiotic I'm sorry

Ntilikina and Ish can't be in the game at the same time you either gotta run Fank and Nick or Ish and Nick

But Cliff can't possibly play Nick in the first quarter it's insane

spectre

3 on duren

he doesn’t strike me as having a very high bbiq

Eastley

He would have been prefect here then

spectre

NSJ only guard except 24 I guess

and Cody

Bridges could have had some competition

rofl 1
Eastley

With Brandon, Nick Jr., PJ out there with LaMelo, the latter should take fewer of those early shot clock uber long threes

spectre

One good thing: haven’t seen any of that dribble dribble probe the D dribble dribble pass stuff. Balls been moving pretty well

powellrmp

That’s a high percentage shot from Richards

oh Cody

would love to find a guy that can hit a consistent corner 3

spectre

There’s one on every team that plays against us lol

…trying not to focus on Richards while on D

powellrmp

yeah I try to block out most things I see from the hornets

ISH SMITH, THE DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST

Eastley

Was thinking the same.

powellrmp

Everyone knows that the corner three is the most difficult to make! It’s the hardest one!

GoBobcats24

We really didn't shoot well at all first half so happy to be tied

Mich_Mercer

Fun first half to watch.

powellrmp

I just started watching with 4:00 left in the 2nd

Man that would be really cool if leaky black is able to develop this season and carve out a minor bench role.

GoBobcats24

Terry just got his first 2 pts for Miami

heart 1
Eastley

Knowing Miami fans over the years, they probably walked out of the grizz game on him being a -8 +/- in his first 5 mins

powellrmp

Just a deep bench guy that can come in for defense and energy. But if he can hit some 3’s his value can go way up. A bench 3andD guy would be a great ceiling for him

Damn we don’t play the heat again this year???

meloFan

Duncan Robinson playing like trash

powellrmp

Certainly the hornets rozier jerseys will be on sale?

meloFan

Might cop one

powellrmp

RICHARDS GET THAT TRADE VALUE THRU THE ROOF BABY

dont sweat the defense nic, just grab offensive boards and dunk it baby

because we know you’re not going to sweat the defense anyways

joy 1
Eastley

Nick and Miles rim protection is non existent

powellrmp

they don’t even know what that means. I’m sure if they did, they’d be pretty indifferent about it

meloFan

How was that not a charge?

powellrmp

Dog whar

meloFan

These refs hate us

powellrmp

thays a charge in any country

100 1
GoBobcats24

Lamelo back on the refs shit list

powellrmp

like what the fuck are they thinking?

how can they think that’s a flop? He squared up, set his feet, and then got hit

oh Cody that’s not even close baby

as we say in the south, Cody bless your heart.

spectre

Good to see that 3 splash

powellrmp

yep nice confidence boost. Melo needs to see them go in

GoBobcats24

Cody Martin is doing a terrible job guarding Bogdanovic

100 1
powellrmp

He’s our defensive specialist remember!

just like Miles bridges is a good defender!

Because he’s athletic!

meloFan

If we lose this game, we just gotta blow it up, except for Melo, Miller, Mark, Eric Collins

powellrmp

don’t worry, we’re well on our way to doing that anyways little dog

HAHA hayes is such a bad shooter

GoBobcats24

Down 8, time to put in Ish and Frank

spectre

Ha awesome strip by ish

powellrmp

DAMN BMILL

spectre

get in there!

powellrmp

what a quick trigger from miller

TAKE OVER YOUNG FELLA!!!

meloFan

I love Bogdanovic, since pre-NBA days. He used to play for my team, Fenerbahce. His brother too

But Bogdan is my favorite

powellrmp

That’s cool man!!

what gave you the unfortunate fate of being a hornets fan?

meloFan

Lamelo :smiley:

powellrmp

OMGGGGG

TheDorkLord

Miller Time

Oh my brandon

Also, I am a big Kobe fan hence lakers, but I don't like Lebron (though I appreciate him). Now Hornets are my jam

LETS GO BRANDON

Oh. My.

Can’t go wrong loving Kobe

That was a nice shot by BMill, unfortunate didn't go in

spectre

Not from here

GoBobcats24

Ntilikina has not done shit to play over NSJ

powellrmp

Oh there’s Frank

spectre

Ya im not feeling this frank dude

powellrmp

oh great, no NSJ

spectre

why Not bryce

TheDorkLord

good ole Cliff - playing Frank instead of NSJ

meloFan

I wanna see NSJ 1st, Bryce 2nd

GoBobcats24

And Frank traded/waived

pray 1
powellrmp

This is kind of the only good PJ. Is when he’s hitting threes

spectre

He seems more engaged playing the 5

you guys try and catch Cliff in the pregame presser about nsj minutes. Load of shit

Mich_Mercer

I love Brandon Miller you guys. I think he’s the guy.

Collective IQ of that detroit play was below 0

spectre

And miles will fit right in!

Thompson looks scared on offense

joy 1
meloFan

Melo needs to make that

GoBobcats24

PJ playing some insanely flatfooted defense right now

Mich_Mercer

Lamelo can’t hit a shot

spectre

now is when I’d love Melo recognizing that and start setting everyone else up

GoBobcats24

Somebody put Mensah on the damn plane to Greensboro

I love you NSJ

Somebody didn't read the scouting report on Ausar. LET HIM SHOOT

powellrmp

You’re asking a lot from Miles

laughing 2
spectre

I was gonna say the same thing

GoBobcats24

We keep aggressively closing out on him like dummies

spectre

Lol

Nice pass miles

powellrmp

guys, miles is a 15m per year guy. I’m sorry the 25-30m stuff was crazy

meloFan

I am ok with anything <20M

powellrmp

chef isn’t here to jump in, but he should be lol

Please get Martin out

spectre

i think fa class is kind of weak so he’ll get it just hope its not from us but thru us

powellrmp

we don’t have Melo or miller in

spectre

Airball

Eastley

So unbelievably predictably on brand

GoBobcats24

Cliff is being real Cliffy right now

TheDorkLord

Richards got a rebound!

powellrmp

The literal only thing Richards is good at

GoBobcats24

We gonna run any plays for Miller down the stretch?

TheDorkLord

nope

GoBobcats24

Over/under 2

Eastley

Put the house on the under

powellrmp

I think he’s almost number one in hornets history in FG%

meloFan

Miller played 35 minutes, in Cliff's book that's good enough

No need to close the game, rookie got plenty of minutes

Leave it to seasoned pros like Ntilikikikina to finish the game

rofl 1
Eastley

Glad we ran that for sharp shooting miles

spectre

That was actually the set play wasn’t it

Eastley

100.000% yes it was

grimacing 1
GoBobcats24

Cliff trying to lose 1 year too late lol

powellrmp

Hornets top three franchise history in offensive rating: nic Richards, Mason plumlee, Willy hernangomez

That’s real

spectre

Gotta cover Burkes

powellrmp

AW LAWD RICHY RICH

spectre

were gonna retire nicks jersey!

powellrmp

as much shit as I give him, he’s worth keeping because of his contract

but that would be a very Cliff thing to do though

sorry, Mitch

they’re the same to me

GoBobcats24

Miller yet to get a good look in the 4th

spectre

You called it

Eastley

Do we EVER block out the trailer? Like EVER?

powellrmp

yeah that’s what’s killing me

GoBobcats24

Lets get a Cody Martin fadeaway 2 here

powellrmp

i do not understand this offense. Cliff finds some way to hide miller after he gets hot. He gets subbed out the then gets forgotten

omfg

man fuck this team

Eastley

I like this Duren kid. Where did they draft him?

Mich_Mercer

I heard a team traded him away for a late first on draft
Night. I don’t know if that’s true though.

powellrmp

Man im so mad at cliff

Eastley

If you hate Cliff now, wait till you watch him a full game

powellrmp

oh, I do

GoBobcats24

Welp we are done

Congrats to Cliff the one year too late tanker

powellrmp

I just stop commenting here because I’m so pissed

not that I ever really have anything constructive to say

spectre

Nah don’t say that this group is what make these bearable

Mich_Mercer

Lamelo is killing me today

Eastley

He's not having a good game

powellrmp

Well let’s certainly not draw up a play for miller in the fourth quarter

TheDorkLord

Melo having a bad game and Miles passing has been painful to watch tonight. I don't even have to mention coaching, but I did

GoBobcats24

So the under of 0 on getting Miller shots is looking great

Eastley

Well they did run one ish, it was just run badly. But the under 2 seems like a lock now

Chef

For someone with snow cone hair

joy 1
powellrmp

I hate this forum. It smells like second round picks.

joy 2
GoBobcats24

We will blow out final timeout here no doubt

Chef

Nope that's cash considerations you are whiffing

Mich_Mercer

We’re gonna trade that first we got for Terry for 2 2nds. Just wait.

powellrmp

Ah, a common misconception

GoBobcats24

Lol most teams call the play during freethrows and keep the timeout there in case

We make sure to lose early

powellrmp

I traded my rozier jersey for some 2032 2nd round picks

GoBobcats24

Mile Bridges contested layup incoming

spectre

All part of Cliff strategy we’re playing for lottery balls now

powellrmp

oh look miller touched the ball!

Mich_Mercer

Huh!? That’s shit

TheDorkLord

fucking refs

meloFan

What the fuck?

powellrmp

WOW

spectre

What?

Chef

Wow. Gonna need a replAy

powellrmp

WOW DUDE

TheDorkLord

oh well, different angle

Mich_Mercer

Yeah… he grabbed him I gues… lol

Eastley

Not a good Melo game at all

powellrmp

I dunno man

dude if anyone in the all star game does that, it’s not called

TheDorkLord

just improving those draft odds

Chef

I guess it's the right call. Not in that situation for my liking

Mich_Mercer

That seems almost impossible to do but we did it. Haha

powellrmp

it’s because it’s Melo

Originally sent in Game 42: Hornets at Pistons
Eastley

The 2-unders take the pot!!!

Mich_Mercer

the 4th quarter was awful. What happened to Brandon Miller man?

GoBobcats24

We left him on the weakside to die

TheDorkLord

we know the call would not go that way for other teams or players though

100 2
powellrmp

Alright I want to wake up to a fired Cliff tomorrow

100 3
Eastley

That's what I go to sleep hoping for every night this season

spectre

I wish

powellrmp

I know he’ll still be here

Eastley

Coach Dingus Clifford is exactly what happened to Brandon Miller

100 4
Chef

I don't know how dell does it. His two sons are in the league. 1 is generational. And he spent all his time calling games for the bobhorns.

TheDorkLord

we need Tepper's wife to help with the coaching search

rofl 1
meloFan

Can we just fire Cliff, not hire anyone until the season is over? Then hire a good coach?

cltblkhscoach

Hornets Law reigns supreme

Chef

I literally check everyday for the Clifford fired headline

meloFan

me too

Eastley

Exactly. Every morning I open hoopshype with a silent prayer

dnbman

Plug in Lowery as coach in the meantime.

joy 1
Eastley

Ty Corbin would be totally fine to play out the rest of the season

GoBobcats24

Miller 23 through 3, 0, yes 0 SHOT ATTEMPTS in the 4th

If I was running things, this is immediately fireable. Especially considering his history in doing this.

Miller should have been the primary focus of the offense. Start getting him looks that aren’t aau threes or drives.

Cliff has the Audacity in the postgame to say we got good shots down the stretch and didn’t make them.

Man then he said we went ISO too much and didn’t move the ball. Lol

So which one was it?

1 Like

That should be the fireable offense, to think that’s what we got down the stretch.

Melo played horrible in the 4th. He has to grow a lot in game management as a point guard and getting the team into what’s successful.

1 Like

I thought he looked off most of the game. Not just the 4th.

It’s hard losing Rozier for them, I’m sure it was a reality check because he was a leader. It’s a loss that they need though because now it gives some others the space to grow off the court. It’s kind of like when the Panthers let Steve Smith go so Cam Newton could grow up.

Ahh, from beating the best team in the Western conference on their home floor during a historic scoring spree from their star, to losing to the worst team in the league for the 2nd time without their best player.

This law is more reliable than the sun rising every day. Because eventually it won’t one day.

I made Clifford’s post game presser

He ran the plays that were called though just didn’t make shots

We need some of this at our home games. Chef I nominate you to be our Randy Quaid.

Seriously though if miller and melo ever didn’t play the same game the hornets have a very major league roster

Jake Taylor = Hayward
Cerrano = mensa
Willie Mays Hayes = nsj
Ricky Vaughn = miles
Kyle Lowry = Eddie harris
Roger Dorn = Cody Martin

If we get Miles some glasses, does that fix everything?

Bridges played like he thought he was a superstar tonight. Shot us right out of the game. Lamelo had a bad game too of course.

But not getting Miller a single shot in the 4th is inexcusable.

My wife said in the first that Miles , and Melo both had bloodshot eyes and looked like they had a hang over. She thinks Terry , Melo , and Miles had a fair well party.
