Pay him. ASAP. Jordan needs to buy out that Puma contract.

Put that man in his own pair of Jordans, that would be epic!

Can we just sign Lamelo to a 15 year deal so he cant get away.  Seven threes?  He wasn’t supposed to be able to shoot remember?

I hope they don't screw with his shot like they did MKG...

...ruined that poor guy. 

MKG is now out of the league.

Mkg never had a shot to begin with

He shot it just fine in college and his first year in the league.

Then they started screwing with his shot and he went from a 75% FT shooter to 61%...

Agree...MKGs had a lot of positives (def, rebounding, leadership) but his nonexistent offensive game did in his career.

Always thought he could have contributed to a really good team off the bench as 7th or 8th guy

Hayward hasn't played like an all star for well over a week.

We can lay these eggs on any given night it seems.

Any team with a legit center will give us troubles, no matter how bad the rest of the roster is. It’s unbelievable how pitiful this team is on the boards, and frankly every single team will look good from 3 against us with how bad this defensive system has been.

[HoopKing20]

Team sucked tonight. Hayward was walking in mud and needs to be much more aggressive.  Giving up 50 threes and outrebounded like a middle school team. Better come back strong Friday.  That long west coast trip is looming. Can't imagine what Warriors, Suns, and Blazers will do.

Is it really that hard to defend the 3? My God, we seem to give average shooters career nights, it seems. It’s downright embarrassing

Borrego has followed a strategy to defend the paint and leave the 3 open more often than not this year. When players are tired, not communicating or slow rotating it makes defending the 3 very difficult. We can't defensive rebound no matter what strategy he takes.  So I would rather give up a 2 then open 3's.  You see the players sticking too long with the cutter or big.  That is a strategy for the most part.  Teams will live with 10 Melo floaters because they are getting 10 open threes on the other end. I will say that the players looked tired last night. Minnesota does not have 3 point shooters (25th in league 3pt %)  So if they light the Hornets up tomorrow night then heads should roll.
