2026 Charlotte Hornets

[carpanfan96]

They had a bad half and still pushed a healthy Sixers team with three Superstar players to the brink.

Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

Yeah we had multiple chances to tie up the game or take the lead. We have made some significant strides as a team shooting threes but this group absolutely needs to get more aggressive in the paint in crunch time if they want to be a playoff team.

For all the praise of the group and Charles Lee being talked up as coach of the year that's just pitiful and unacceptable.

Also adding even more insult to the loss. Apparently Embid is 21-1 against the Hornets.

They haven't learned how to win close games. They beat the ever livin poo out of you or they lose. Now 10-18 in close games, so they've put 29 ass whippings on teams this year. Games are close because the 3 isn't falling but they keep shooting them so they end up losing. They should have been attacking the last 3 minutes however I guess if 2 more of those 3s go in then they win.

Somehow only lost by 4. I think they are at there best when Kon and Melos shooting is more balanced

Also based on usage I don't think Melo plays more than 25 tonight. Probably another loss unfortunately
