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

rivers with a bucket!

Hopefully Roberts doesn't see the court this half.

Davis out. There just aren't enough quality minutes to go around for four quality bigs.

7-0 run by the Hornets after AR25's floater

This is a great time for a George Mason 3.

Nope

Austin Rivers might not have top end speed or explosiveness, but he has a solid combination of lateral quickness and anticipation. Have noticed this throughout the season.

free throws mannnnn FREE throws

Smith's so reliable... odd to see him miss 2 FTs in a row

Spurs announcers are so frickin annoying.

Defense with our starts is shakey but we have length enough to make up for it. Our bench has no D at all.

Rivers Assist

nice pass, bonner! my man

Dat paint defence.....

OMG Roberts

This is where we relinquish the lead with a couple bums on the floor smdh

we just cant seem to close out a quarter

the roberts/rivers combo is just awful...if we lose this game, that will be our demise

Can someone please guard splitter on the cut

Our bench cannot close the quarter...

blows my mind how roberts sees the floor

Roberts is really annoying me. I like Rivers/Mason/Thomas better on the 2nd unit much better than Roberts/Rivers/Mason

Gordon has only 7 shots. That's just insane.

We're going to lose this game if the Bench plays more than 2-3 minutes in the 4th.

Fixed

Don't worry guys gordon is a closer and 4th quarter is what he does, he will start shooting

I don't mind Rivers as backup point due to his defense and effort, but he's not much of an off guard, and Roberts has been downright terrible.

Nah. I recognize that man.

roberts man..

ughh the offense is a mess right now

Roberts just doesn't know how to be the primary ball handler. Makes silly mistakes.

Roberts leaving early costing a foul on AD
