Its ok they will come back and lose by 3 in OT.

Would not surprise me at this point lmao

Excited to hear the excuses after this one, including the reasoning for why this team is actually much better than their record.

I am going to guess optimists lead with a "fluky shooting night" and follow with "rust" on some main guys. A little "Nance got hurt" sprinkled in. Am I missing any?

Man... just leaving people open on the perimeter for no reason

[hornetsrebirth]

I'm sure Luckyman will has something positive say.

Like they say.....you can't polish a turd, but you can put glitter on it.

Pel's are playing like a turd right now.

What's your thoughts on the team? My thoughts is that this team is ******.

[RobertM320]

Tell me again why the Pacers would want to give up Turner and Hield for Westbrook?

turns out it's really hard to win consistently when you can't shoot 3s and cant't defend. Who would have guessed.

Coach refuses to play JV in the 4th quarter

[hornetsrebirth]

They are going to keep feeding the ball to their big man with this lineup

[MichaelMcNamara]

At least the Lakers play tonight!

[hornetsrebirth]

10 points lets go

The annoying thing is that we do actually shoot threes fairly well, so it's not that we can't it's that we won't. And that's by design.

Here's a quote from Green, taken from an article Kevin O'Connor put out today.

“I don’t think we’re gonna be the team that shoots the most 3-point field goals in the NBA. But when we do shoot, we wanna be efficient,” says Green.

We take the fewest 3PAs in the NBA, and apparently Green likes it that way. Can someone tell him not to like it that way, and to tell us to shoot more?

[Silverfoxx]

What's you guys thoughts on the team lack of agression, defense, and slow starts?

[hornetsrebirth]

Herb with a nasty block! good challenge

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

If the Pels were lucky enough, i'm sure Green would play Hayes or Willy over him.

[hornetsrebirth]

its CJ time

[hornetsrebirth]

feeding big man in the low post all day with our small ball lineup

[Pelicanidae]

What's you guys thoughts on the team lack of agression, defense, and slow starts?

CJ starts every game 3/10, we don't take enough 3s as a team, we don't use Zion optimally, and we play a ton of minutes with multiple small guards on the floor at once. That's a lot of the issues. Not all of them, but a lot of them.

[hornetsrebirth]

I really need Herb to develop a 3 point shot
