Horrible loss yesterday, very few people had a good game. Can they redeem themselves?

Zion still questionable.

Milwaukee is 31-14, 2nd seed in the East. They're 3rd in the NBA in ORtg, 19th in DRtg, so hopefully we should be able to score but the question is just about how staunch our defense will be able to be.

Team needs to play with a lot more urgency tonight. Hopefully Zion will be back but even if he's not, they can't afford to repeat yesterday's performance.

Let’s go Beta squad!

If zion plays i see no reason they can't win this game

Possibilities are endless with a team that wins by 20 and loses by 20
On any given night.

[Mrakar]

0 expectations after that bs yesterday...

[JJackisangry]

Just show up tonight. Hopefully last one put a chip on their shoulder

[hornetsrebirth]

We need a win here to wash out the the taste of last nights game. And BI needs to step up, he was playing some of his best basketball in December but has really been struggling in January.

[WhyHornetsWhy]

If we get destroyed, tell me what they have that we don't

[WhyHornetsWhy]

Down 5

[WhyHornetsWhy]

Let’s go Beta squad!

Lose by less than 10 points, and it's a win!

I'm not even joking. If we lose by less than 10 points, then I honestly consider that a huge win for this team. It says, we aren't there yet, but we are close...On a good day.

[WhyHornetsWhy]

Lol.

Fire Willie Green man.

[WhyHornetsWhy]

This team gave up the almost the same amount of points in one half that they scored in total of a game from last night.

[RobertM320]

So what happened to the 40+ three point attempts a game that Willie said we were looking for? Milwaukee has had trouble defensively all season, Lillard is a turnstile, and we only take 14 first half 3pt shots? We're hitting 50%, maybe if we'd taken another 6-7 like we're supposed to we'd only be down by 3 instead of 12.

[13 - 3]

Just wait till you see our next opponent

[6warddude]

some thing internal that we dont know about has to be going on with this team...

[PaKwAn]

If your Griff and you see this team play against the best teams lately in blowouts after blowouts...yeah, he might just make some changes before the deadline

[Jaxpel]

The team is showing with their effort that they want their coach fired.

[13 - 3]

No chance Willie gets fired especially if Dennis kept his job .

[13 - 3]

Time to call another team meeting

[WhyHornetsWhy]

I have asked the same question on SaintsReport and will ask it here.

This shall put the arguments of "lack of offense or defense" to rest:

Why are the nuggest and thunder and clippers on the top of the west and we are on the bottom?...

Because they have better defense than us?

Or, is it because they have more better offense than us?

I would very much like to know the answer to this question. What is it that the top teams in the west have that we don't? Is it the lack of offense or defense that this team is missing?

I think those teams have more testosterone. That’s the difference.

Yea this team isn't it...start making some trades

This team has no identity, no leader

The coach should be fired and players traded

Sounds like a Gayle Benson franchise

[donato]

We need trades. Better or worse.
