Lets get a W

tnhornetsfan

Eric and Dell are in ATL. Maybe they can give us a little help with a Hawks loss.

meloFan

Look I am not saying any player should be injured on purpose, but if Pistons are playing Cade its fair game. Our guys should drive hard into Cade's chest (like Kobe vs Gasol in Olympics) to send a message, especially after the previous game

TheDorkLord

and so it begins

cltblkhscoach

Dude what the hell

Did Duncan Robinson just start swinging on Brandon

That's BS on Duncan Robinson

And how are Eric and Dell missing the last home game smh

Crazy

woodsy23

Let’s get all of our misses from deep out of the way in the first then

Box out

cltblkhscoach

Ron Holland? Wtf

woodsy23

Too loose here

meloFan

REFS are ABSOLUTE DOGSHIT as USUAL

Courtney Kirkland this fucker

woodsy23

Unbelievable

cltblkhscoach

As expected man

GoBobcats24

Afraid that now that our challenge is gone we will not get calls

2

woodsy23

It’s started

1

GoBobcats24

How in the hell was that NOT overturned

Like he two arm pushed Moussa before Lavert got there

1

meloFan

I don't know what the fuck is with the NBA, but how can you assign a crew chief from Flint Michigan to the possibly the hottest game?

TheDorkLord

"Detroit is a good defensive team… they are allowed to do that"

meloFan

Born in Flint, HS in Flint, absolute trash

cltblkhscoach

Kon got pushed smh

meloFan

100%

DOGSHIT FUCKING REFS

right infront of the bald inbred f'er too

TheDorkLord

BS no call on Kon

meloFan

Also, while I am heated, Fuck "The Dude" for having Mark Williams over Jalen Duren too

woodsy23

Meloooo

cltblkhscoach

Hey, they trusted Coach K. Lol

Melo is on one. Locked in tonight

1

meloFan

We could really use an enforcer in this team. Wish Montrez was with the team just for this game

tnhornetsfan

We need to add more physicality in the off-season

woodsy23

Can’t be far from overtaking Kon now?

cltblkhscoach

Moussa is it. He set a hell of a pick on Duncan Robinson after that BS with Brandon

meloFan

Yeah, he needs a bench enforcer

cltblkhscoach

Crushed his ass

TheDorkLord

I think he is within 3 of Kon now

meloFan

The moment Mousse leaves, and Kalk enters, its like a flower kid

cltblkhscoach

Where's Stuart Gray when you need him lol

Chef

Isiah Stuart is a 90's mauler

meloFan

How are these fouls not fragrant

I swear this Courntney is paid off

GoBobcats24

That was verticality

meloFan

That whistle was so late

Duren clearly hugging Kalk

1

GoBobcats24

Detroit allowed to hug

meloFan

we need to bring our bats if we match them in playoffs

make the fouls count

Chef

I like it.

GoBobcats24

Yeah I mean but not allowed to match their physicality so it doesn't matter

That's what led to the fight

Chef

Nba needs this

Nah, that fight was entirely on moose losing his mind

GoBobcats24

Wrong, Duren started the whole thing Chef

1

meloFan

Chef, so you are ok with people smooshing your face, noted.

GoBobcats24

Marginal contact incoming

cltblkhscoach

Lol probably so

Chef

Sure but then moose went psycho.

GoBobcats24

That fight happens 100 times out of 100 after what Duren did

Chef

It's the inability to regain control after it was clearly broken up. Even moose admitted as much

cltblkhscoach

I absolutely hate these refs man

GoBobcats24

What the hell we had imminent possession there

Chef

Had he been able to throw a punch then get broken up, he gets 1 game as well as duren. No biggie.

GoBobcats24

That's not a jump

Chef

This review is garbage. All reviews are garbage

GoBobcats24

What in the hell is that that is supposed to be our ball

We had 3 guys around the ball

tnhornetsfan

We've got to learn how to play physical like these other teams. Learn where the limit is. Refs suck too

GoBobcats24

How is that not imminent possession that's what Charles was pissed about

That was definitely a pass so I will take these 2

Chef

I am glad they called that a shot and not on the floor

Really good screen by kaulk there

He should get a hockey assist

tnhornetsfan

Stewart is a dirty player. Refs need to get control

2

Chef

They have no idea what to do with him. Sooofffttt league

GoBobcats24

So how was that not looked at for flagrant

meloFan

Entire Pistons franchise is dirty imo

just as Detroit

TheDorkLord

I'm waiting for them to call a moving screen on Detroit too

meloFan

I went to the Detroit Auto Show a dozen years ago, and I never drove faster out of somewhere (except for Gary IN)

Chef

Excellent double stagger to get Kon a three

Brandon needs to get his weight up

GoBobcats24

Really our guys just don't flail and flop enough

1

Chef

If they do, I have to quit watching

woodsy23

They wouldn’t get the same calls if they did to be fair

GoBobcats24

Like if Kon had flopped on the 3 he got fouled on they would have called it

1

Chef

Refs are noticing

GoBobcats24

Should be a shot and the ball here

1

meloFan

You sure about that? It is Courtney the Softie on the review

TheDorkLord

way before the inbounds

GoBobcats24

Sided with us for once, was too big to rig lol

meloFan

Well he is at least disappointed to call that

GoBobcats24

Need Kon to start hitting 2nd half

Chef

They are face guarding him from 40 ft. He is doing fine pulling them away and creating space

woodsy23

Anyone keeping an eye on what’s happening elsewhere

cltblkhscoach

Hawks up on the Cavs, Knicks up double digits on Toronto, Miami crushing Washington

76ers up 9 on Indiana

[system]

cltblkhscoach

If Knicks win they probably rest guys against us on Sunday

meloFan

4 on duren

Mich_Mercer

Just turning the game on now… why are the Pistons playing so hard. And where is Eric and Dell

meloFan

Prime Video

ray

Same im turning it on rn

TheDorkLord

hell just froze over.

Mich_Mercer

The one time I have the Hornets feed on this thing… they aren’t doing the game.

But again… I respect the pistons for trying hard but why?

ray

They are 4 games ahead of 2nd place with 2 games left in the season it makes no sense

cltblkhscoach

These mindless turnovers are gonna get us beat

meloFan

Yeah what the heck

both on kon

TheDorkLord

gawd

Mich_Mercer

Yep. That’s what I’m saying. I mean… I do think teams / players should try to win every game, but not when playing us haha

ray

Moose !

And just like that its tied

GoBobcats24

Lamelo got fouled 2 times in that drive no call

2

ray

Absurd

cltblkhscoach

This is atrocious

2

GoBobcats24

We gotta beat them by 15 to win by 2

TheDorkLord

really ba

d

Miles just standing in the lane lol

ray

Getting his shirt grabbed and getting pushed around but they both get the same call

cltblkhscoach

Then Stewart has the nerve to be mad at the ref

Stfu

GoBobcats24

Detroit has been bitching to the refs this entire timeout

ray

Thats a foul

But punching lamelo in the chest is just horsing around

1

woodsy23

Fucking ridiculous

Why the hell is Cade still out there too like, someone just needs to put a heavy foul in

2

ray

Charles Lee must be happy with that

TheDorkLord

I keep wondering how Detroit will play the 4th

ray

Kalk almost got to that lmao

Almost blocked it 10 feet in the air

GoBobcats24

Detroit is very obviously trying to beat us this game and will sit their whole team next game

We have to respond here

2

ray

Lets do it

GoBobcats24

6ers only up 3 on Pacers

Gotta get this win

meloFan

Why rush the offense, come on guys

woodsy23

Sion minutes will hurt us in the post season

GoBobcats24

Dude Kone got absolutely pushed to the floor and then fouled on a 3

Kon

TheDorkLord

Fuck Detroit

ray

How do they decide whats goaltending and whats not

GoBobcats24

Never seen a guy get pushed to the floor open court and they choose not to call it and deem a turnover

TheDorkLord

I guess you're allow to foul Kon non stop

GoBobcats24

Yup he's the new Lamelo

woodsy23

Those are 2 stonewall fouls if these refs are keeping it consistent

Insane

GoBobcats24

Kon has gotten fouled on 2 3s this game no calls

And 2 pts off the board for Detroit

We are going to win this game I know it

TheDorkLord

I'm old enough to hate Bill Laimbeer. So I have dislike Detroit for a long time

didn't like Isiah either

1

1

Chef

Liked Isiah, loathed lambier

This is where no post or offensive big man hurts. They can press the perimeter at will

GoBobcats24

Glad we benched Kon

ray

Coop has 25 and the mavs might beat the spurs, hes gonna get roty

GoBobcats24

Next 2 minutes determine our fate for seeding

meloFan

That aint a foul

GoBobcats24

Kon has gotten absolutely hacked this game guy obviously playing through pain

Been a step slow ever since back injury happened

We are down 12 in this game with the season on the line and 2 starters are in

ray

Josh green was open that whole possession

GoBobcats24

Lee won't even call time to get our guys in

Cool

We lose against Knicks and it's 10 seed LOL

woodsy23

This is like Déjà vu of the sixers and celtics games

meloFan

Our guys look like they gave up

GoBobcats24

Like we waited until the game is over AGAIN to get our team on the floor

TheDorkLord

it's over

meloFan

After getting hacked can you blame them?

ray

The pistons are on an 11-0 run this is when you sub your stars in

GoBobcats24

Season over

10 seed incoming and Miami due to shoot 75 percent

1

meloFan

That a foul on Duren, the fuck?

Melo should've thrown a full force no-look pass to Duren on the face

1

GoBobcats24

This is just so cool man

Hope we can still get a home playin game

TheDorkLord

wow, bringing in Cade in now

GoBobcats24

It's insane how much worse we are when Kon doesn't have it going

Mich_Mercer

when we get cold… we cannot hit a shot. hopefully we get this out of our system now…

GoBobcats24

That travel call on Lamelo was insane

Chef

Not a good sports day for me. First bryson at the masters now this . Hornets are clearly a frontcourt away

GoBobcats24

We can't even get a gather step

Mich_Mercer

we look like a team who is going to get bounced after one playin game. Its too bad bc I'd love to see us in a 7 game series.

2

meloFan

They got full starting 5

Mich_Mercer

definitely a travel there… this issues is… they let certain guys do that from half court.

1

Chef

I want a playoff run. Second I want to lose the play in and win the lottery

woodsy23

Don’t think it’s the worst thing, will focus the FO going into the off season, we’ve taken the step - just need that fine tuning, maybe some luck with the lottery balls and we can get serious

meloFan

Somebody should run straight into Cade into the chest

woodsy23

I ain’t wanting injury for anyone but honestly we should have been much stronger from the tip

2

Mich_Mercer

Detroit hates us for sure

TheDorkLord

who do we like for the 14th pick?

Mich_Mercer

lol

man… we are going to win the lottery

or… maybe we can trade the 14th pick to move back in the first the next year

1

Icky_Thump

Wow we waved the white flag

[system]

Originally sent in Game 81: DET at CHA

Icky_Thump

lol

Mich_Mercer

we look soft tonight

GoBobcats24

Detroit still has most of their starters jn

They will regret this

Mich_Mercer

will they? lol

meloFan

Karma comes around

GoBobcats24

Yeah because Kon averages 20 not 10

He is going to get it together

Mich_Mercer

Kon hasn't been right for a while

Icky_Thump

I mean we could/should have had Duren… whether he's an a$$ or not

GoBobcats24

Back injury

Mich_Mercer

I'd argue, Flag wins rookie of the year

GoBobcats24

Lower back injury he should be out

He's playing through it unlike Pooper

Mich_Mercer

that's great he's tough.

GoBobcats24

He wins the rookie of April for aure

Sure

Mich_Mercer

lol

woodsy23

At risk of repeating myself, just shocked how we’ve gone about this tonight…. You’re playing against the 1 seed, who have nothing to play for, got their starters in, just at least make them question their rotations in that first quarter with some strong plays

GoBobcats24

Which evidently is the same thing as ROTY

Mich_Mercer

its crazy to me that they went all out to win this game and even rub it in in the end

They want to knock us out of the playoffs for sure

And I feel like Tyler Hero is going off for 10 3s, while they foul us non stop and no call

Icky_Thump

Well Moose did get things all riled up

We have to stand up behind it and we didn't

Mich_Mercer

Is it just me, or has Moussa not been great lately either

over the last 2-3 weeks. just everyone, minus Lamelo seems worse

I also rather see Josh Green more than Sion.

Icky_Thump

Every time the hype started to build we'd flop… but maybe its part of the progress

1

Mich_Mercer

I honestly don't have a lot of confidence we can win a playin game… We just get too cold. When we are good… we are GOOD. but if we aren't… we just can't do anything

Icky_Thump

I wonder if that's part of the crazy 3 point attack. If you're good you're golden and if you're cold you're done

1

Mich_Mercer

I've thought multiple times this year… "this team could win a title"… and then we lose a few games in a row and just look overall bad

Icky_Thump

Also I HATE these jerseys and think we lost in them more than won I wish they'd burn them

1

Mich_Mercer

I really think we need to find a center who can shoot the ball. that will help open things up

cltblkhscoach

Man I left with 3 minutes left in the 3rd guys. I knew it, I could just see it. We have a problem when the intensity ramps up against these top teams

Icky_Thump

We can manage it if we shoot lights out from 3… so its always do or die

Mich_Mercer

we do… happens way too much

which is what the playoffs will be

We need a 7 game series to learn how to win these games… but it seems we may not get one.

cltblkhscoach

I feel like when we shoot well from 3, that's our absolute peak. These other teams have another level we haven't found yet. And I think it just comes with time

Icky_Thump

Hard to see us ever being consistent this way

GoBobcats24

Take 10 pts off Kon's average this season and we are deep lottery

So yeah it's not gonna work we gotta get him right

cltblkhscoach

We have to diversify our attack. Boston plays like is but they got two alphas that can get their own shot too. We don't have that yet

*us

1

woodsy23

Disappointing loss but still it’s the start of our season that cost us ultimately not how we’ve finished

Icky_Thump

It's kinda both

cltblkhscoach

A system and a way to play can only carry you so far. I think we can beat the play-in teams but the top of the conference is a different story

That's what I'm seeing right now

And that's all right in all honesty

Icky_Thump

That's pretty much what I've felt for a while. They have to grow but I was ok with that until Moose lost his poo

And showed out… now we look stupid

Cause we didn't stand up

Last comment… again… burn those orange jerseys!

1

cltblkhscoach

Absolutely. I don't want to see that BS ever again

Moussa is an awesome big off the bench, and he can be a spot starter long term, but if we're going to challenge for championships, we need an upgrade

Mich_Mercer

The good news… the Knicks have clinched the 3 seed… so that means they rest guys Sunday… right? Right?

tnhornetsfan

We probably should too

cltblkhscoach

Nah cause Miami will beat Atlanta then we gotta go down there. And we ain't winning shit down there. Lol

Now the Knicks should rest guys, but who the hell knows with the NBA vs. Charlotte attitude here lately
