Hornets are a horrible team. This is a bad sign this game is even close. Looks like ANOTHER loooong year.

I think he played with the guards too much, but Charlotte has been unreal.

Paxson talks about accountability but accepts none for himself. My gawd. You are down 3 with 4 seconds left and you go for a 2 point lay up. Brilliant....and it starts at the top. Horrible front office doofuses hire a doofus coach...and stick with him. This is an organization that doesn't even believe in 3 pointers. Brazenly idiotic.

It's hard to bitch too much when a team shoots like that.

It wasn’t a bad start of the season. It was a loss, but they played pretty decently.

Boylen is still one of the worst coaches in the NBA.....how can you be down 3 at both 11 and 4 secs left and not take a single 3?

On the flip side, they lost by 1 and they only made 9 3s to Charlottes 23. When a team hits that many 3s, chances are you’re going to lose

Too much to say, I wonder if it's even healthy to analyze them this soon.

Thad is the best player at controlling pace on this team. Think about that for a second. If these guards don't learn to play off each other better soon, then all of them are going to be begging Greece and China for meal tickets. All of them, age and experience doesn't matter. Aiming to fill up the statsheet doesn't matter, because your rep as a team player will be shit.

that’s a function of the shite D; they lost to one of the 3 worst teams in the NBA. And the bulls, btw, are a bottom-7 team at best.

no salvation until we purge the GarPax.

That is true, but they go out and zeller gets a two step dunk from the free throw line.

Zach Lavine is just not a smart player. The last possession he needed to drive and kick for a three pointer for the tie, not take the 2 with 4 seconds left. I highly doubt anyone would have knocked down the shot, but they needed a three pointer.

I really dont know what MJ promises his teams for beating the bulls, but I do believe they always have more incentive against Chicago. I dont know if its bonus money, strip club, escorts, but something constantly lights a fire under that team against Chicago.

Hornets looking like the greatest 3 point shooting team ever

Yeah...which did help us learn one thing last night. I have often wondered what it would take to get Lavine to use his length to defend a perimeter shooter with ernest, and the answer it turns out, is nothing, nothing in blue hell or red hell or even hell on earth actually lighting the floor he stands upon on fucking fire could motivate Lavine to consider defending a perimeter jump shot.

At least now we know for sure, a definitive answer. @clonetrooper264 @RoseMVP1 @zack54attack @anotheridiot

It's only the first game so I don't think it's a big deal. Shit happens. Every team loses games they shouldn't. Despite the Hornets hitting that many 3s and all the other shit that happened, if Zach makes one of the few layups he usually makes or Lauri hit one of his open 3s he usually hits, they win. They do need to work on rotations/switches.

Lauri flat out dominated. He got the ball down low and did whatever he wanted. They had no answer for him. If he can maintain that level of aggression and stay healthy, this guy could eventually be a top 10 player in the league.
