PJ's last 5 games.

16pts on 36% shooting.
26pts on 58% shooting.
5pts on 22% shooting
22pts on 56% shooting.
15pts on 43% shooting.

And tonight, 6pts on 11% shooting.

I don't think we've ever had a player this inconsistent. Not even Byron Mullens.

He scored 40 a week or two ago and every other game he shoots under 40%. Sometimes under 30%.

Idk Im struggling to get mad at the individual players. We are completely screwed by our medical staff. When guys like Cody Martin and Nick Richards are forced to be two of your top 5 players, you just gotta accept that you will only win games through miracles.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Dudes were up by 10 with 8 to go. There's no excuse not to close that out at home.

Miles in a nutshell.

Crunch time he has the hot hand he drives to the basket instead of making the pass to a wide open Miller for 3 he takes a contested shot that gets blocked.

Great talent, but man his IQ is very low.

Good news we might can get a contender to trade a 1st with these back to back 40 point games by Miles.

I fear Miles Bridges sabotaged the trade deadline for some of you.

Still 45 points.

Keeper?

We play Memphis twice, the Wizards, Portland and the Pistons.

Our only remaining games where we can likely/possible be favored to win.

Looking like a <20 win season.

I think our ceiling is 20 wins, floor is 12. Feel we pull off a 17 win season.

Oubre's first year was even more inconsistent. dude was either 10 points on 3-15 shooting or 25 on 10-15, with straight up nothing in between

but yeah PJ 's up there

PJ relies too much on shooting 3’s. A big part of why his shooting efficiency is erratic. But his energy level is also a yo-yo.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

I'm thinking 11-71 if we're very lucky.

But 0-41 in the second half of the season is pretty likely.

I can't decide if Miles is playing like he wants to get traded or stay

How's PJ and his 40 piece doing? :lol:

I'm leaning towards keeping Miles at this point. Maybe a different coach and a bunch of vets and not young players would get him to play defense
I don't support domestic violence. Thanks Miles

Damn. I gotta respect him for being honest about it. As hard as we are on Clifford, we gotta remember his entire 2nd stint has been screwed over by injuries and off court belligerence by a key player.

Kind feel for him knowing that he is coaching his last 40 something games in the league.

At some point it's on the players.

At this point I just wanna win more games than the Pistons. They just beat the Kings by double figures.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
