No Bridges and Mann again tonight

[jayboogieman]

The graybeard starts things off

[jayboogieman]

Nice start for Miller

[jayboogieman]

The Hornets have really gone small ball with this lineup

[jayboogieman]

Not a great end to the quarter, but the Hornets have the lead

The Hornets really need to just practice fundamentals during the week. 22 turnovers and counting so far.

Honestly, Ball doesn't help himself at all. Too many frustration and dumb fouls along with the constant complaining. Until he gets it through his head that he can't keep doing that sort of stuff, the refs going to call everything they can.

I'm done hearing complaints about LaMelo until these fools start putting anyone around him and Miller worth a poo.

30 mins from our rook and only one damn point? Not good.

And the Hornets gave this one away. Just way too many careless turnovers.

I'm not worried about the rook. They knew he was raw and needed a ton of work when they drafted him. He was supposed to be in Greensboro this season, not playing meaningful minutes on the main roster. Think of the rook as a luxury pick which shows a mistake on the part of the Hornets. They needed more polished players than a future potential guy.

I like him on a personal level and I know he's very raw but when someone like Knecht is contributing on a meaningful level right away it is infuriating watching this team slog their way to 60 points at home. This was a comically low scoring game until the fourth quarter and that's with LaMelo dropping 44 points after dropping 50 within the last week.

So far I am not much impressed with the new front office.

And enough with this Mark Williams foolishness. Get that man on the court or put him on the block.

Missing too many bodies… Mann, Bridges, both Williams’, and Richards.

Also, the bench needs to be revamped in the offseason.

Ideally you are bringing scorers off the bench, the Hornets are bringing guys off the bench like Martin and Diabate. They are good players but they don’t provide much offense.

The Magic had 53 bench points which is insane.

Also… 27 turnovers is ridiculous.

Ball and Miller are the future but they can’t commit 13 turnovers.

Wonder what this team would look like with Dalton Knecht instead of an obvious project.  Still a little salty we passed on him
