Miller with 2 fouls in the first four minutes ain't great.

Happy Friday!

GoBobcats24

Miller on pace for 3 shots in the first quarter. DUMB!

Getting our asses kicked by the wizards. Good times
GoBobcats24

Wizards have been starting games off very well. They will give it up 2nd half no doubt

GoBobcats24

I would rather him go 1/9 than 1/3

If miles is worth 30 million per he should be dominating these games

GoBobcats24

ALERT: NICK SMITH JR. IS PLAYING IN THE 4TH QUARTER! WATCH OUT FOR METEORS

Richards goaltend: drink

spectre

Ha!

GoBobcats24

Collins just said that Richards has 25 goaltends on the year and next closest in the ENTIRE NBA has 13. That is just embarrassing

That Bertans shot was a 3! They called it a 2

dnbman

Nick swatting shots, passes, gatorade handoffs, towel tosses, tshirt gun blasts, Kiss cam smooches. He getting it all.

Breaking scoring records the wrong way

Our lone bright spot

dnbman

Glad to have Nick back though

powellrmp

To be honest, I’m probably going to be watching the games pretty sporadically as this season goes on

dnbman

Same.

GoBobcats24

0-13 from 3 lol

powellrmp

I’m having a hard time obtaining any meaningful data

from what I’m seeing

GoBobcats24

And you can count on me to watch every possession rain or shine
spectre

Me too we obviously thrive on misery

powellrmp

Wish we could say that about Melo

I mean, I’m still going to watch the bulk of the games.
Im just not going out of my way for it

GoBobcats24

He does watch every possession though lol

spectre

He watches every game from the bench lol

powellrmp

Yeah, I didn’t quite switch my wording there but you know what I was going for

GoBobcats24

Why don't we get Miller 10 midrange shots a game

The guy is automatic

Lol Richards might have worse hands than Biz did

powellrmp

Richards is good for two goaltends a game

we should start a betting line here at HP. And over/under on Richards goaltends

I’ll start it: 1.5

id bet the over

Also: why the fuck are we not seeing NSJ minutes with no curry or Martin

Watching miles bridges play defense hurts my eyes sometimes

as I’ve been saying for years now, I’d rather pull my fingernails out with pliers than pay bridges 25m a year

miles bridges screams jordan Poole energy.

spectre

Its a struggle no doubt

Micic or Dennis Smith Jr?
Eastley

Availability wise, it's no contest. Vasa has been tough as iron

dnbman

If I had to pick one right now, I'd probably go Micic. He does more for the team even if he doesn't have DSJr's ceiling.

spectre

Probably unpopular but probably lean Smith better defense and I think fits better in a 5 man passing offense

dnbman

flip of a coin honestly. I do have concerns that Micic is or will be figured out and won't be as dynamic as his first several games.

but in general, I think he helps the offense flow a lot.

spectre

Yeah me too. He’s old skool dribble drive pass

dnbman

Of course, if nobody is making shots, doesn't matter about flow.

startin' to hit though!

I think McGowens keeps his pride in his knee

spectre

Kind of dirty foul there

I bet this is similar to watching the swarm

dnbman

Shout out for the 2nd quarter run.

Not overly concerned about us playing ourselves out of a good lotter position.

spectre

LOL yeah I think our lottery odds are fine!

We did score 32 which is amazing it sure didn’t seem like it

dnbman

Rule idea: instead of making another 3 pt line, add 1 point for every bucket that goes in but doesn't touch the rim. Yeah, makes long swishes worth 4. But controlled layups/dunks now worth 3!

GoBobcats24

They just called a tech on Bertans for… DUNKING THE BALL

WHAT KIND OF BS IS THIS?

Its amazing what is a tech on the Hornets vs the rest of the league like Lebron and Draymond

spectre

Gotta wonder what he could have said that was a quick T

GoBobcats24

This is IMO a dumb challenge hope I am wrong

At most it saves 1 point

And it was a blocking foul to my eye

JFoster

Wow

GoBobcats24

I'm convinced our team hates getting Miller the ball

He should be the focal point of our offense and he is an afterthought

And today's players having zero understanding of how to create shots and opportunities for others. Modern day basketball is all about the ball being in your hands. If it isn't they don't know what to do.
GoBobcats24

The problem is we barely put the ball in Miller's hands and I would argue he is pretty good at creating a shot for both himself and others

Chef

Agreed

Eastley

I'll stick to my earlier conviction. The all star break gave Cliff unfortunately a chance to impart his system in the new guys. We were so much better running the ball out there

Anyone contending he just needs healthy NBA players, I'd argue he'll do this eventually to any set of players.

It's what the hornets did when they were healthy

Grant Williams has already worn out his welcome to me

Dumb foul after dumb foul

You don't foul with 14 seconds on the shot clock 59 seconds on the game clock down 7

Welp I know I am alone in rooting for competive losses but with that being said that loss sucks lol

JFoster

Really hoping this will make ownership realize there is no way in hell you run it back with clifford for another season.
