Third quarter is usually our best

Charlotte has twice as many offensive rebounds (6) as turnovers (3) at half.
That's a pretty big sign your ball pressure is not good and your defense is not working hard enough.
I expect to see a little bit of zone in the 2nd half at some point.

We're getting destroyed in all the hustle point categories.

It continues to baffle me how KAT has gotten so good at avoiding fouls on defense, and is so bad at picking up offensive fouls.
It seems like 3 of every 4 of his fouls is on offense.

These Towns Gobert lobs look unstoppable!

It’s like they pass the ball at a height no defenders are allowed to enter!

Teams have to be good in the mid range to beat our defense, it's what we leave available.
Fox, Booker, Durant, Hayward pretty good there, have decent games against us.

Brown and Gobert putting in some good defensive work this half.

We suck. And its about to get worse with Towns and Gobert both gassed having played the first 8 minutes of the half, and the not so dynamic duo of Milton and Anderson taking over the offense. Ugh.

Please save us Naz :pray:

This isn't good. Need to buckle down, stop those transition buckets and start scoring in the 4th.

Busy with my daughter. Won't see me post much. Down 3 as I type this.

The Hornets guards are taking it too us. Using their speed and shooting to take us apart.

Our vaunted defense has allowed CHA 102 points, with seven minutes left? Giving up one fast break after another?

Not great. Plenty of time to turn this around though.

Hayward and washington decided not to suck this game I see.

I think that's the last of that line-up we'll be seeing for a while.

Conley has lost the ability to put the ball in the basket.

Doesn't look good. We look lost on both ends.

Speed is killing us today. Our guards aren't responding either.
