Mid season i thought Monk and Graham were both worth $12m contracts this offseason.. no way now.. ugh - such disappointment..

Hayward not being there just killed us the whole 2nd half of the season.. I guess that was a high probability when we signed him..

The inefficient offense in the 4th is just so painful to watch.. just living and dying by the 3ball.. thats our M.O. - turnovers and contested 3s..

I might would give Graham that sort of contract, but I wouldn't Monk. Unless Monk is on fire, he just doesn't do enough. Let some other team overpay him. Riller might be able to replace Monk and he is on a cheap rookie deal.

I don't know if not having Hayward hurt that much. Miles stepped it up in a huge way and McDaniels is a decent bench guy. 

JB still some learning to do as a coach. As you said, living and dying by the 3 is not a winning way to do things. More so when the team is streaky like the Hornets are. An above average center would help a lot.

not having hayward was a huge blow...he was making a difference

monk is not a player when it counts...he would be first on the trade block, if anybody would want him

we have to shoot 3's, we have nothing else

and melo was horrible the last 5 games

Saw a picture of Hayward pre game in Washington in what seemed to be a workout.  He looked ripped.  Hoping he can make it back Tuesday.

Hayward wasn't doing a lot before the injury. Early in the season he was great, after the break, not so much.

I've said all season that this is Monk's last season here and I stick by that. I think he is gone during the offseason.

Disagree. Several of the guys can get to the cup at will. They just prefer to shoot 3s because that is the current NBA game. And that sucks by the way. I prefer the cuts, post moves, and all that jazz. Let the 3 be what it was before and just another tool in the shed instead of the only tool.

Melo is a rookie recovering from injury. That wrist is not totally healed up by the way. I also think he bought into his hype and played more trying to prove he should be ROY instead of winning team basketball.

This is pretty big.  Don't give up yet.

As Hornets fans we know the invisible finger when we feel it.

We went through it. Miles came back as healthy as ever.

SMH. Can we take advantage?

[Captain Morgan]

the way we ended the season, we are due for a good game.

 

We're not getting it.  1-4 from 3.  Pacers 3-4 from 3.  

Early but they are getting wide open shots from 3.  We need a couple guys to start hitting from outside.

[Proudiddy]

Smh, welp...  this is starting out just about exactly how I anticipated.

[jayboogieman]

This got ugly quick. Hopefully they make a game of this and don't get embarrassed on national TV.

One if the announcers sounds like they are having trouble breathing.

weird not hearing EC

[Proudiddy]

Please just play Carey or run PJ as the center.  I can't take this poo anymore.  Cody and Biz fuging suck.  They SUCK!
