Game Thread: Hornets @ Spurs {Final Score-SA 106... Hornets 102}

Pop is not there but that guy sits next to Pop every game. He's an extension of Pop. He's been next to Pop long enough to know what to do.

I said earlier and I'll say it again... can Parker, Duncan and Ginobili retire already?

D@mn Pelicans can't guard or take care of the ball!

I do NOT want to become the Wizards, man. It is dangerously easy to do. The name of the game is upward mobility, not content to be a talent sink.

I know I'm new to these forums, and I don't want to disrepect any regulars here, but damn. Some of you flip-flop real quick. Player A can do no wrong one day. Then need to be gone the next. Some days are good, some are bad. Some plays are great, some are awful. Sorry, but wow. To quote "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", "What do you do when your kid spills his milk? Slap him in the back of the head?"

So we lost. blah blah. They played great offense at first and then crumbled at the end. It happens.

Gordon's second half in recent games was awful. He was great in first halfs but in second just like different player...

5 second violation... Hornets get the ball back

roberts!

exactly

XXXXXXX

Oh my God...

BRIAN ROBERTS TO THE RESCUE

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

BENCH MOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

umm.... it's a 3 point game all of a sudden

oohoooooooh

Yeah!

wow

103-100. Watch the refs bail em out. LOL.

Steal a win, maybe?

Monty sucked the life right out of this team when he put Henry in. He does dumb *** things at times, just enough to screw up the team. He has too many brain farts and it needs to be fixed immediately

the "white flag crew" brought some big guns to this last 1:30 :hihi:

I hate this dang tease at the end.

The game is not over yet?

The guys saying Monty can't manage games need to calm down. Ever been on a Spurs forum? Lakers forum? Bulls forum? Thunder forum?

There isn't a single fan base in the NBA that doesn't complain about their coach's rotations, management, etc.

Doesn't change the fact that Vasquez can't defend, Gordon had a horrible 2nd half, Aminu is stupid, and Monty can't manage a game.

We seriously won't even put Ryan Anderson in for shooting....?

**** this

Lance Thomas is playing center right now..

look away for 1 minute and were only down by 3.. nice

waiting 10 sec to foul... awful man

No starters on the court for the Hornets?

Bench got us back in...but they're still bench players.

MONTY'S AWFUL!!

50% of this goes on guys not playing D from tipoff 50% goes on Monty for not making any kind of in game adjustments. Lopez pretty much is inaffective against teams like the Spurs. Vasquez SHOULD NOT be guarding Parker under any circumstances. The Bench, well really the guard play from the bench, is horrid. We are going to continue to lose any kind lead we have when Rivers, Roberts are your back court plain & simple. Putting Henry in period....liability.

The starters don't deserve to be on the court after the 4th quarter they played. Monty is sending the guys a message.
I agree thought putting X in was just dumb and I don't understand it I'm trying to but I hate that guy he is just horrible.

We don't even call a timeout to advance?

Monty wants to lose. I'm convinced.

should have advanced the ball both times

I don't buy into that thinking. The Wizards are the Wizards because they don't have the talent not because the have a losing culture.

We will lose games, and we are young. This time next year we will be better. Take your lumps. Grow. And take the lottery pick this year as well as sign a solid fa, and be happy.

Wow not advance the ball wth

So why didn't eg get a point after halftime

I would love someone to ask Monty why he would have GV on Parker that late in the game when Gordon is our best defender? Parker takes over and the game was over. This ending is a bunch of fluff and does not reflect how the game was lost. I know Monty is a good one on one coach but he cannot manage a game worth a flip!

we dont need to win, sending a message to our starters is the right thing.

This game is on Monty 110%. He is so stuck on his damn rotation times he pulls hot shooters for bench. And is infatuated with limiting how many minutes our best players get.

gave this game away, plain and simple

Gordon has to step up. He isn't playing like a leader.

Gordon got beat off the dribble by guys like Gary Neal. It's all good to say he's our best defender because that's the general thought, but right now he's struggling.

Because he turned the ball over every time he touched it.

That's complete bull. The wizards had the most talent in the league next to Sacramento. They just happened to be low IQ dummies. Wizards problem was never talent.
