Exactly. Some people just had unreasonable expectations after a few games. Hornets beat the Jazz, the Bulls in a backups versus backups match, and the Bobcats. That doesn't translate into playoff contender status.

how in the WORLD did the hawks beat this thunder team by 9
Ibaka was like "how in the h*ll did he make that?" :hihi:
Anybody got some Visine? Extra strength.
So nice to see Rivers make a shot.
I mean where is the Lopez from the first 3 games?
People need to relax, legit, lets be real, Davis is still thin and young, really young, relax!
See that alley? Why don't we do alleys like that?
is there a mercy rule??
So...this is what an NBA vs. D-league game looks like.
Final score: 132 to 72!
This is a long process. There are going to be nights like tonight. It is the reason why we will be good in years to come.
Championship??
Pitiful first half hornets. I still have very high hopes this season but cmon
Some of you posters are JOKES
Seriously, what's there to fight about in this game? Monty going crazy!
Oh so Kendrick isn't going to get into it with a Hornets player but with the Hornets coach? Really? LMBO!
I'm already looking towards tomorrow. :idoh:
:hihi:
Monty at least has fight.
Love the passion outta Monty! Now if only his team would show that kind of sac.
Why doesn't our center have any rebounds?
Rebounds are overrated. As are points.
Well, remember, the CP3 Hornets used to do this to the younger Durant/Westbrook Thunder. Well not THIS bad but they used to whip them pretty consistently.
That said, I think I swallowed blood watching this. :(
Calling it now, Rivers leads this game in scoring...
I hate losing, but I love improvement.
People must not get what "rebuild" means. You don't come out good right away. This team will take its hard lumps. But they'll grow.
Game's not quite over. Might not win, but I think we at minimum cut the lead in half. Force OKC to play hard to close out the game. Monty's teams know how to play hard.
And seriously. You know all you need to know about AD that he doesn't try to send shots out of bounds. There's a reason the young man doesn't get fouls also and is so efficient. He's not quite what you think he is or should be. He's better.
I also don't think he's much of a vocal leader. That might turn out to become Rivers thing once he gets his feet under him more. Davis leads by performance and example.
I think Anderson leads the Hornets in points, and then Rivers, this game
Dell getting interviewed. He's going to explain the tank strategy.
Im crying right now....... This team is getting destroyed. Im very sad right now. I need some sherbert
Tank for a lottery pick. Trade away Gordon. Sign Chris Paul back. It all makes sense!
Hornets need to at least get to the free throw line. Man.
And I'll bet if Kevin Martin played on this team he would probably all of a sudden no longer know how to shoot. :idoh:
OKC is an abomination to Nba basketball. The hatred I have for them makes this game that much worse
Thank you, honestly though I think he'd be okay/above average if he was playing harder or more active, I probably sound like a broken record. He may not be a bad defender but he's certainly playing like one, when a guy is billed up with one of the most amazing defensive careers out of college you expect a little more focus on that side of the ball.
Even if he was Andre Drummond size it'd be no better. Guys like Ibaka and Durant would still give him trouble. He's got no experience right now. He'll have his down moments simply because he's playing pros for the first time. His slim build doesn't mean a whole lot. I'd never say it's inconsequential, but this is part of the process.
Why don't our center have any rebounds? Yall want Anthony to grab Lopez's rebounds too?
Why has Aminu only played 7 minutes?
I can accept the fact that we are a young team and that we are not ready to match up against a red hot Thunder team !
But I want them to play hard on every possession. Right now, we are not focused enough on D and the offensive execution is almost nonexistent.
I like the fact that Smith, Anderson and Rivers don't back down. C'mon AD, focus !!!
All that said. More effort from the whole team is a must. Davis included.
OKC is swaggering all over our floor. Can't let that stand.
Ibaka only has 2 blks? I thought sure I saw him block more than that.
People are talking like the Thunder are a crap team.... smh, makes me question your knowledge of the NBA
Honestly despite all the bad play if we d up on Martin we would be in this.
