Our defense is just so incredibly bad. And it’s mostly due to awareness.

Well we arent making the playoffs, may as well see it through all the way now.

There's always a few gems in every draft if you look hard enough.

The defensive rotations have gotten better in the second half.

I don't even think JT Thor is a good on ball defender - what is it exactly that he is good at?

Average feet and gets pushed off of offensive players despite his increased size this past offseason.

Also is Austin Reaves annoying or is it just me?

His non-defending teammates are ruining Brandon Miller's fourth quarter tear.

Reeves is one of my least favorite players to watch. This whole Lakers team is disgusting to me.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Miller looking better and better, and Miles showcasing strong...hopefully we get something good for him.

WTF!

Miller had 8 points at halftime and was in foul trouble.

Looked at the box score and dude finished with 33!

Man im loving this pick more and more. This kid is going to be a elite scorer in this league. Rookies just don't drop 30+ back to back. This was even more impressive because he was in foul trouble early.

We got a serious player on our hands. You know he is legit when other fanbases are starting to talk about him as a serious talent.

Man I am seeing other fanbases saying his ceiling is current Tatum or an even better PG13. That is optimistic as hell but his current run supports these claims.

Suns think they are getting Bridges for a bad contract and some Doritos.

The disappointment will be immense :lol:

If we do a deal, it better not be for chicken scratch and chicken crap. Monster points game tonight from Miles, but with ZERO rebounds :lol: .
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Bridges is available. For a premium. Otherwise don't kid yourself.

Miller scoring is 1 thing, but he is flashing real takeover ability where he can rattle off 10-12 points in 2 min stretches. Dude is a stud. I am going to go to sleep tonight believing Mitch reads RGM and was influenced by my months of Stanning.

Miles with 21 pts in the first half, 20 in the 2nd half. Miller makes peanuts. Keep both and let LaMelo feed them.

This team misses having 2 real centers. Whenever Richards is out it is a free for all on the boards and at the rim. Especially in the 4th when Nick wasn't out there.

Scary he's pulling up like Curry and Dame at times.

Now it's about putting winners around him. He was literally the only player pressing the ball after Reaves was just standing there waiting for someone to come back.

Really shows you how this team doesn't care. Get rid of all of them for all I care. Miller is here to change the culture. If you not serious about winning get off the court. Miller is going to change the perception of this franchise mark my words.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
