Our Hornets Stingers simply tickle Bucks! Hope we can get the first pick in the draft!

F*** coach Clifford not playing Marques Bolden even when we have no chance to win!

I bet we score no more than 60 and we lose by just under 50. Thats after they empty their bench for most of the fourth quarter!

You throwing some money down tonight? I kinda want to

FoundingHornet

in

Yeah, I like it.

powellrmp

You throwing any money to the hornets making the play in tournament? I don’t know if there even a line out there for that haha

I’d put a small amount of money towards that just for shits and gigs

“Cooler than a milkshake in a snow storm”. Thanks EC

Eastley

Tre with the great disruption

powellrmp

Man we seem to miss a lot close to the basket sometimes. Pretty competitive start

That’s a high percentage shot by Richards

spectre

Cody and Nick has it going

How great would it be having your 3rd/4th offensive option shooting 45% from 3

powellrmp

Alright cool. We’re going to get crushed tonight.

spectre

Miles miles

Eastley

Man, we can't hit squat

powellrmp

So what the fuck happened after those first four games? It looks completely different on offense

Thread
spectre

A decent team
powellrmp

The blazers aren’t decent. And it was four straight games of very good offense. Hard to fake it for four straight games ya know?

Icky_Thump

Yeah ball movement is not happening currently

Is it just their defense or what?

GoBobcats24

I think not involving Miller in the offense is a great strategy to lose games which I think we need to do, just not at his expense

spectre

The Bucks are the first real playoff team we’ve played

Eastley

Clifford has had an opportunity to put his stamp on the team with these new guys, that's what's happened lol

:man_facepalming:

powellrmp

True

too much time around cliff to “install” his offense haha

when they were new they could just flow and feel it out I guess with minimal game plan

spectre

I think we’ll get it together but they are playing some good D

Eastley

I'm kidding but the thought had crossed my mind

Thread

Seth is playing really smart. I was mixed on keeping him but starting to get onboard
Eastley

I like his game far more than I expected

Eastley

Can I get a fanduel ad blocker? The saturation of these ads is really bonkers

spectre

Nice

Eastley

We have that blazers shooting stink on us so far

Icky_Thump

So we just hurling 3's tonight? That's the O plan?

spectre

They definitely have us rattled

Thread
spectre

We really need another good 4. Richards is not gonna handle Portis
Eastley

Maybe the plan is to put all of Poku' 128 lbs on him

And neither is 24

Cool.

Cool cool cool

signing off, cheers guys. I’m gonna sit this one out

Thread

I do think there is something to be said about Clifford "installing" his offense on the new guys
Eastley

Well, they did come from a far better coached team in OKC

GoBobcats24

I have been shocked to see all of the people advocating for picking up his option

He is as lame of a duck as there is in the league right now

Me too

I want Lamelo back now.
GoBobcats24

Nah Lamelo sucks remember?

Mich_Mercer

Our offense has not been good the last 3. I could really be Clifford. Guys are now thinking instead of just letting it flow.

I think this game is all about the coaching. The others we were able to get thru with the new guys higher bbiq.

Mich_Mercer

It’s becoming hard to watch….

GoBobcats24

I am not a fan of stalling Miller out like we have been doing for the last 3 weeks

It is very very stupid

Thread
Eastley

What shot can we make?
spectre

Still no answer

Eastley

I see Clifford installed his defense too

GoBobcats24

Lol good thing we sat Miller at the scorers table for 3 minutes to end the quarter

Eastley

Can we outscore our GSW first half performance?

spectre

What was the blazers 1st half 34?

FoundingHornet

:joy:

GoBobcats24

And we thought when we played with 9 players including Bailey it was bad

Mich_Mercer

Well…. We suck again. That was fun while it lasted.

There it is, your record setting Charlotte Hornets

dnbman

On a positive note, like the kiss and makeup from Micic and Miles when Micic didn't pass it to him and then found him after drawing attention. Brief words and handshake back on D.

Thread
spectre

And we break another record
Eastley

I think we broke our record

Can we get Miller 20 shots?

Who's our coach again?

I mean its fucking stupid

Good thing we rested him those last 6 minutes

Thread

its amazing how quickly this team can kill your dreams. I have zero hope again.
Eastley

It keeps my dream alive of a quick exit from Clifford at season's end

I changed my opinion on him now. I thought he was doing a good job but it seems they may have been winning in spite of him… and now it’s getting worse.

Thread

Eh, new coach and get our other 2 starters back we’re good. Might as well get the best lottery odds we can
GoBobcats24

Glad someone else said it I feel like I have been alone in wanting to solidify the best pdds possible. Seems like lot of people want to win for no reason and get the 11th pick

cltblkhscoach

Looks like Hornets Law is in effect tonight

Thread
spectre

We’ve not heard anything on a new GM yet have we
Eastley

We may be gathering information

Mich_Mercer

Why can’t we have nice things?

GoBobcats24

We still can't score and we STILL aren't featuring Miller in the offense. Hiding his ass weakside is SO DAMN DUMB

When you are playing like we are tonight you have to wholly rely on your best scorer not continue to shoot up shots with sub 30% 3 pt shooters.

Get Miller the ball and get TF out the way!

Whats the point in doing anything else

Had it loaded up on the DVR - ok start, bad end of 1st quarter. The kids wanted to watch something, so I checked the score online to see how close it was. Seeing that 40 point deficit, it was an easy call to watch the new live action Avatar instead of forcing the kids to absorb every aspect of awfulness.

But I think someone in the chat had it right. The former good offense was solely from the instincts of the veterans we traded for. Once Cliff’s offense got “installed,” all creativity, flow, synergy, any semblance of free flowing play was officially stomped out like kids discovering an ant hill at recess, and here we are.

I’m not sure how we can have multiple, historically bad 1st halfs in the last week. Having the hardest time cracking 90 points in THIS ERA of basketball? Like how?

Maybe Cliff has a handshake deal to move into the front office after the season, and his offensive “offense” is his way to stealth tank to a top pick. Cause only self sabotage could explain the complete ineptitude of the offense we’re playing.
