Hornets vs Thunder game thread

[Manos]

This team is so bad. They have no identity. The team looks lost on defense and offense and I don't see it getting any better. If Kemba isn't playing hero ball the Hornets just stand around doing nothing. This team misses MKG's energy so much. He had no offensive game but he at least tried which is more than I can day for the current team most games.

Also during the gamecast they said Clifford misses Big Al's defense, he is either delusional or a fool and in no way deserves to be an NBA coach. Why did we extend this idiot instead of just firing him and hiring someone like Thibs?

At this point, it looks like the team will be paying Clifford to coach somewhere else sooner rather than later.

When your team is this dreadfully inconsistent week in, and week out, it starts with the coaching.

Yeah it's on the coaching staff. PJ Hairston is trotted out there night after night and he might be the worst player in the NBA. Hell, the front office didn't even think enough about him to lock him into a $1 million contract next year this offseason. That's a pretty clear disconnect. Watching KD cross him up like he was a high school player was beyond pathetic (yeah I get that it was Kevin Durant). It's just a joke.

I drove down from Tulsa to catch the game. It was tough to watch. Kemba loses control a lot, Batum didn't get enough looks on offense, Kaminsky wasn't used until too late and the Thunder (who have two of the best players in the world) were just light years better. We're a long ways from having a team better than an Eastern Conference playoff contender. Some obvious changes need to happen, so we'll see over the next couple of years if they make any adjustments.
