We still need a quality center and another shooter.  Still, Borrego is not getting the most out of this team with his rotations.

[Cary Kollins]

This roster is just not very good, but at least we have two players to build around in Ball and Hayward. 
 

Bridges reminds me too much of Gerald Henderson. Being an explosive dunker only gets you so far.

Washington looks like a player just happy to be there. No killer instinct whatsoever. He’d be a bench player on any western conference playoff team. 
 

Graham and Rozier have nice flashes but are way to inconsistent. Again, they seem more fit to be bench players on any decent NBA team.

Zeller and Biyombo, not playoff quality starters. 

As someone on twitter said last night, this team plays hard but they don’t play smart.

Is Cole Anthony wearing some kind of cap on his head?

[Scott12345]

Why in the hell do we play so much zone?

we are lousy at it and other teams get wide open looks from 3 every possession 

[Scott12345]

Graham & rozier are stinking it up again tonight

[Scott12345]

This is stunning

[Captain Morgan]

got a chance for a much needed win.  and Biz on the line.  just need one.  missed both.

[Eazy-E]

Gordon was 100% worth his contract. What a hoss, what a game.

Hayward is the fuging man.. A little old for where our team stands in our rebuild and we still need some more pieces around him but I definitely love having the guy on this team. We had to take our chance on him this offseason or we may have never gotten a player of his caliber. I think we still wind up with a lottery pick this year and hopefully can nab another guy to round out the core here, but if we do make some progress and make the playoffs I'll be happy too. Definitely not sure about Borrego but I do feel confident that given time Kupchak can build a winner here.

See, we were just talking about the NBA. 

Can't tell me that this game wasn't fun to watch / exciting.

[WOW!!]

Keeping Devante and his bad defense on Fourian almost cost us this game..

[Captain Morgan]

Hornets toughed one out.  Good sign for a young team.  Keep pounding.

We don’t have anybody else...I’m wondering if it’s our scheme...we play too much zone...but that may be because we can’t guard anybody man to man

in any case, a much needed win...play them again tomorrow

Definitely was, but it helps when you can invest time into following the specific players like I have with the Hornets to start this season. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely getting more into the NBA lately and have watched almost every Hornets game so far this season (bought NBA League Pass here in Boston for the first time). But it's less fun/exciting with other teams when the games don't mean that much in the regular season and you know it'll be the same exact teams in the mix in the playoffs... I do think it's been getting better in the past couple of years and if that trend continues I'll probably watch even more, but that's yet to be seen.
