Hornets vs. Suns Game Thread.

[Inner_GI]

What's surprising is the rate of which we are giving up wide open 3 point shots . I agree , the personnel is lacking & Monty doesn't have much to work with . But there is a defensive problem when we are constantly giving up 3s from the same spot on the floor every single game .

Then why was our defense one of the best last year. It's the personell man... chill out. lol

Still a little hope, the suns aren't as good as their announcers make them out to be

Ryno is ridiculous and GV has played relatively well.

Some good things coming out of this outing.

Lance Thomas has done well.

I'm not sure what's with all the defeatism. I mean, no, the 3s are getting very annoying. VERY annoying. But whatever. If these guys were all we came to dance with for the season? I'd be fine. But we're missing our best player. And one of our little engines that could cuz he got scratched in the eye.

I'm not worrying so much about how we're going to do. This team is still gelling. We were doing fine until things broke down late. Incremental improvement.

[Kibner]

i said he cant create his own shot well...he needs to develop a pull up jumper...but he is young as well

He seems to have made quite a bit of something out of nothing with guys in his face.

Silver lining is that other than Lopez our other key contributors when everyone's playing all played well (Greivis, Aminu, Anderson)

[Razorpens]

Why are we in denial? Its tanking season! Shabazz is ours!

Yes, quit sulking. The tank is strong with us

[luckyman]

Monty is not the problem. The personnel is the problem. We have the most unathletic players in the NBA starting from Vasquez all the way down to Lopez. Our quickest guy is Rivers who is not even that quick and does not understand the concept of a rotation. It is inevitable that our defense will be horrible, regardless of who is coaching this team.

If you know your players aren't quick, then why play this very aggressive, wierd, amoeba type defense? Why the doubles? Why hedge so hard? Just keep it basic and make due with that until you get the type player you need?

[Shelbywmccarty]

Oh my god. What a shot

[AD23forMVP]

Get Lopez out of here, or atleast off the court.

[jprdbulldog20]

can we cut lopez like now?

[Eman5805]

...

[AD23nEG10]

as soon as Lopez got the ball i was thinking "Oh God"

[Alg_Hornet]

Lopez throws the ball over the backboard

[PelicanFever]

nice run play by us lol

[JJackisangry]

Our team threw 5 games away already. We are tanking now the more you fight it the more it will hurt.

[AD23nEG10]

Lance was hot. play him for the love of god

[PelicanFever]

our defense is bad

[Mido-Peja]

yall have seen worst than the last position? .. I haven't.

[Shelbywmccarty]

Wow. A wide open 3. Never seen us do that

[Eman5805]

That has nothing to do with scheme or coaching. That's just players not knowing their arse from their elbows.

[BreezyRivers]

We are setting Lopez up to fail if we continue to give it to him in the post with 4 seconds on the clock.

[Inner_GI]

Joel Meyers... "Lopez going up.... gonna get the rim? Nope gets the shotclock... WOW

[NDHornet]

Well, I, for one, am excited about all of the clever "tanking" sig pics you guys will roll out this week.

[Eman5805]

Our team threw 5 games away already. We are tanking now the more you fight it the more it will hurt.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No.

Bull****.

[AD23forMVP]

Bottom line. If we were healthy and had Vasquez, Gordon, Aminu, Anderson, and Davis out there right now we likely aren't even having this conversation.
