Hornets vs. Warriors Game Thread

[The Huddler]

Rufus can suck it

[TheRed]

I don't even bother to try and remember to DVR the games anymore.

 

People can piss and moan about the players, but these 4th quarter collapses start with coaching.

When Red and I agree it's truth.

So damn frustrated....................

[Goondal]

Seriously, what the hell? I get updates on my phone for each quarter absw we always seem to have a lead after three and then lose. What is wrong with them?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

So who do you guys want...

 

Mudiay to replace Walker or Okafor to replace Jefferson?

Lance and Kemba sorta duplicate each other..Lance is seemingly only a bigger version of Kemba. Where a Gordon Hayward would have enhanced Kemba...Lance and Kemba seem to get in each others way.

Decide who to keep(at this stage Lance is still the better player) and build from there...this backcourt is ass.

[Proudiddy]

That was why I didn't really want to sign Lance, despite being a big fan of his. If Kemba isn't here, then absolutely yes, by all means. But because our FO already considered Kemba a core piece, then I didn't think it made any sense.

They are redundant, but ideally, and I hate to say it being a short guy myself (which is why I have always been a Kemba fan), but if you had to choose one to be your primary ball handler/point/playmaker, I would go with Lance bc he is bigger and does the same things, therefore, he creates match up problems.

I never thought I would get to this point, but if the right offer presented itself, I would probably deal Kemba at this point. He has improved as a shooter and decision maker, but not enough. And I would consider dealing Kemba because at this point, I don't think Lance would have much of a market because of his reputation and what has transpired thus far. But the, I don't know that Kemba would have much of a market either.

Either way, they really can't be on the floor at the same time, so Clifford needs to make the adjustments or one has to be dealt and Clifford needs to be fired.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

As a shooter Kemba is still an unreliable open 3pt jump shooter...his misses are just mindblowingly off a lot of nights. 15 and in but only with space do i have confidence in him...

Personally i cant see him improving much..

Well one positive is we just played one of the best teams in the West tightly.

[Chaos]

It really sucks when you know how the story is gonna play out and sure enough it does. I took my daughter to her first Hornets game tonight and at her first nba game she learned to boo the refs at every opportunity, yell at Cody for being soft when attacking the rim unless it's an uncontested dunk, and screaming at the coach when during crunch time in the 4th and PJ was on the bench.

On the plus side she got to see Steph Curry tonight. Also on the plus side, he played like poo so your daughter won't instantly turn into a Dubs fan.

They coasted all night knowing they were going to win no matter what. 

[ThinkAboutIt]

That would require Lance to have a j to begin with.

Kemba makes plays for himself more so than others, especially late. He forces the issue and goes away from what made him successful the first three quarters.

 

Funny how many big shots and timely offensive plays Stephenson made in Indiana.

 

I repeat...that's because they were good.

 

For "emotion-driven" players like him, they make shots when other people around them make shots or when they have bigger stars and reputations to feed (energy) off of. He made a few good plays in the first half, but even those plays looked odd on this team because the personnel is subpar. That's the reason he's out of place, because they need him to be something he's not. He can look like your best player if you have stars on your team. The Hornets don't.

 

Love MKG all you want, but this franchise's fate was sealed when a team that needed offense and shooting used the #2 draft pick on a guy who only went that high because his team won the NCAA title only because Kendall Marshall got injured.
