Lopez has been way better than a lot of people thought he'd be. People said he'd be lucky to play 10 minutes. (not on here I don't think) and the like. He's played fine. If we can move him elsewhere for a younger piece like Cousins? I'd go for that.

I was just fixin' to say at least we aren't giving up a ton of 3s.
If they hit 8 3s in a row...I swear...
nice adjustment by karl...monty needs to learn how to make adjustments himself
when davis comes back...monty will probably still play lopez more minutes than anderson
Best I've seen our defense play until the foul.
our first play after a timeout, we got to lopez in a post up?? are you serious monty??? draw a play to get your best player the ball
All we've done the last two seasons is watch our team play shorthanded...it's both depressing and frustrating.
Greivis has had a lot of rough moments this season, but I think he'd be just fine with EG next to him splitting ball handling duties and playing off of him. Alas...
You saw that amzing box out by Lopez?! :hihi:
If Miller doesn't get more minutes...
Lopez is in the NBA, how does he not know to keep the ball high?
our announcers just said our game plan is more post ups for lopez??? do they have a clue?? it just leads to a fastbreak
blowout city
Vasquez has been awful tonight.
Our loses are getting less fun to watch
Vasquez takes too long to initiate the offense when he gets D'd up
Hornets have 1 player in double figures. Shame, shame, shame. Likely to get smacked around tomorrow too.
Going to ride Robin Lopez all the way to the bank.
The mudbank.
What's up with javele? He's too good to sit on the bench and yes I think he's good
rivers makes a layup!!
Just do that the rest of the season. Attack. Get aggressive. Someone's gotta try and take over.
Did I just see rivers finished after contact?!
I'm sorry. I take that back about McGee
miller is a good shooter from that corner 3
There's ZERO excuse not to play Miller for at least 15mpg. No Excuse!
CP4MVP and HunnyB...think about it. What are the better options for our offense, outside of drawing up 3 point plays for Ryan Anderson every possession? Let Vasquez iso & pick and roll to death when he can't blow by anyone, especially against Lawson and Iguodala (We've seen how that has turned out)? Iso to Aminu, Mason, or Roberts??
Lopez was showing some competency with in the low-post in the beginning of the season. He's struggled lately though. But what better options do we have for offense right now?
Like Eman just said, somebody has to try and generate shots...
I guess Rivers need to be taking an impossible layup to get it to drop.
That's what people want Davis to do. Jump at everything like some kind of skiddish deer.
Austin Rivers is just worst rookie this year. Hornets so stupid to pick him as #10.
Joel Meyers: Nothing like a good ol' fashioned carry.
Roberts is soooo selfish!
If Rivers will succeed in this league, it'll be like this. Using his head and awareness. He's not an elite enough athlete to win on just being really quick. He'll have to be clever and cagey. A technician, if you will.
I know. We've been spoiled to low-post threats for the past several seasons with West and Landry...guys you can just dump the ball down low to and get a basket. Lopez has nowhere near the post game that those two guys have, but he's literally all we have. Even last year we had Jack at PG, who when worse came to worse, despite the hoggish tendencies, could get past the perimeter and get his own shot.
Right now we have several players who are playing bigger roles than they should be playing. Vasquez would look 10x better as a complimentary guy to Gordon like he was supposed to be. Lopez should not be getting as much post-isos as he's getting. So yeah, they are looking really bad right now.
I turned the game off. I've grown really sick and tired of watching my team struggle shorthanded, KNOWING FULL WELL that they should be better than this.
Doesn't seem like when Aminu has to play 3s who are just as long and athletic as he is, he is rendered useless?
Could this team really be this bad? What happened to the team playing hard or at least looking like they cared about the game
Rivers really does have terrible touch around the basket.
