Hornets vs Blazers Game Thread

It is a game of runs. I expected Portland to get back in the game. They shoot the ball well and came out cold. Eventually those threes were going to go down

West coast road trips are difficult. I hate to see this one slip away, but thought we played well overall. Portland was beating people by 17 points a game at home. They are a better overall team.

MKG can't play if other team doesn't have to guard him. They played a lot of zone whenever he was in the game

PJ hurt us on defense in the 3rd quarter.

Got to rebound. Cody was getting pushed under the basket a lot in 4th.

This early schedule sucks balls

Look at game with MKG compared to without. The team is - without on the season and in the + with him. When the team was playing better MKG was getting 34-35 mpg...since he came back only 22.5 mpg and team is 2-2, with two bad losses.

seriously? we're not hard to beat right now. play good D on Al and we'll throw up a ton of bricks, then on D guys like Al and Kemba will get scorched while our best player who thrives at defense and rebounding won't even play in the second half.

Sad but true. And outside of Gary Neal (and hopefully PJ eventually) you can't really trust anybody on the bench.

Gary Neal was a -18 tonight .....that ain't good for a 2 point loss.

this team is soft as dogshit

Not trying to sound bias, but i trust PJs shot more than anybody else on this team right now. He could take 20 shots a game and i would have no problem with it. So much more fluid than anybody else, this teams offense just frustrates me.

It has nothing to do with anything.

Yeah breaking bad was a complete flop.

Second game in a row where we started off strong but couldn't close it. Stayed up and it was a painful finish. Hopefully we can string together a consistent performance against the Warriors.

Lolwut? Breaking Bad...

Kemba just too freaking small..too limited in his finishing ability. A lot of hot potato with him pounding the rock as a non threat.

Told ya.

His defense is average. Can't handle bigger faster PG. Always chasing them.

No passing game. When you're the PG, the ball should be in you hands 99% of the time. Not playing hot potato with it.

Either you're a scoring/shooting PG or passing PG. Kemba is none. Rubio can't shoot worth crap, but he sure can pass the ball and make defenders look stupid a lot of the times.

did marvin williams play tonight? i literally didnt hear his name once

Outside of the opener, his best night has been an 11 Pt performance.

Right now, he is averaging 7 pts a game or, to put it another way, 1 pt for every million he is paid this year.
