Brandon Miller out here warming up with the Moose Antlers on. Lol

[dnbman]

Went to the game today.

Telling note: we didn’t play that great and we still won handily.

I think we’re pretty good.

Gonna be a tough fight today. Blazers are pretty good even without Avdija and Sharpe

They have good and lengthy defenders at all positions

We have to keep shooting it well

Need this game

Mich_Mercer

I finally get the Hornets broadcast and Dell and Eric aren’t calling the game. lol

I still think we’ll should win easily though.

What's a PDX?

Mich_Mercer

Pretty sure that’s what the Portland airport is called.

We are so sloppy sloppy with the ball. We have to clean that up.

I can’t believe we are up 14. We are playing pretty sloppy.

GoBobcats24

Grind it out type of game right here

And yes not really playing well offensively

tnhornetsfan

These early starts are rough

Mich_Mercer

We need to get it together.

woodsy23

Poor 2nd q

Mich_Mercer

Seems everyone is still sleeping

GoBobcats24

Portland is pesky defensively

What the hell

Well that's not good

3 on Kon

woodsy23

2/12 for melo, not helping our rhythm

Luckily BMill making up for it

Playing for that max

cltblkhscoach

Portland is really trying to play us like Detroit was and muck the game up

tnhornetsfan

I expect more of that to close the season. That's an area for improvement this off-season. Playing through contact and getting stronger.

cltblkhscoach

The good thing is Avidja isn't playing or we would be in some teouble

Mich_Mercer

That was an amazing hustle play by Kon. I love his attitude.

cltblkhscoach

Definitely need to get stronger. That's all we will see in the playoffs if we get there

The good thing about today is the defense being locked in to help play through it

1

Mich_Mercer

We have proven we can win all types of games. I love how we always play defense.

GoBobcats24

Wow

Proximate foul insane

End of this quarter went about as bad as it could have

1

Mich_Mercer

Sooo sloppy. We still don’t move around inbounding the ball.

I love seeing Walker Mehl on the sideline.

GoBobcats24

If they call Lamelo for a proximate foul on our review I will be pissed

I'm not sure why we challenged but hope it's our ball

Mich_Mercer

Yeah… Lamelo definitely touched it.

tnhornetsfan

I'm amazed how these guys see the details on plays. Definitely off Portland there

GoBobcats24

Dude

That is absolutely marginal contact

How in the hell is that a foul in Lamelo

Mich_Mercer

What!?

GoBobcats24

I called it though

tnhornetsfan

Refs!

Mich_Mercer

So we chalange and now get called a foul too!?

lol

GoBobcats24

And we have no more challenges

How is that not a successful challenge though it was changed it a foul

Mich_Mercer

I’m so scared we will lose this game and it will be such a let down. We should be smoking them.

We deserve to lose this game.

Ok Kon. That was sweet.

Thank goodness we have Cody White so we don’t completely fall off when Lamelo sits soon.

tnhornetsfan

If they're going to let teams play defense like this, we've got to learn to play that way too.

GoBobcats24

This is pretty much the worst offensive shooting night Kon will have

0-3 from ft is crazy

I wish they would just put this game away

1

Mich_Mercer

For sure… making stupid mistakes. This is a win, that just feels like we didn’t even play. A weird game

GoBobcats24

Like THAT

COOOOOOBBBBYYYYYY

DAMN I love yelling Coby, reminds me of old times

Mich_Mercer

Kobe was my favorite player.

GoBobcats24

Same

Mich_Mercer

Cody White makes a huge difference.

I like Lamelo and White playing together

GoBobcats24

And same

Mich_Mercer

Who’s going to want to play us in the playoffs? Im dreaming of our record next year. I really do think they can win a title soon.

cltblkhscoach

The elements are there. Like we said earlier. Getting stronger is a big key along with consistent depth on the bench

Mich_Mercer

Not about this game… but listening to Eric and Dell calling the Hear / Rockets game hurts me. EC was getting so pumped up for the Heat.

tnhornetsfan

He won't be Friday.

cltblkhscoach

Eric is a professional, but he knows where home is. He's on Amazon to bring that energy we get every night

Mich_Mercer

Yeah I know. He’s the best. I just think we’ll lose him. Hope not though. The games just aren’t as fun without him.

cltblkhscoach

His daughter was going to Myers Park HS, I'm not sure what grade but hopefully that keeps him around for a while
