42 free throws is disgusting. To win by 27 without really ever being able to get momentum is a stark contrast to past Hornets teams

cashburro | Hornets

NBA should be embarrassed by that ref show tonight. Actual horrible product. Crazy that it we’re so hot it doesn’t even matter though. Starting lineup improves to 19-2

dank-kush | Hornets

I mean we are a 3 pt shooting team, 51 threes to 22 will result in less fts with the other teams points coming from contact inside.

Hornets .500 is crazy after how they started man

Charlotte @ Boston will be cinema for 3pt lovers

Joe Mazz is creaming in his pants right now.

He will also go against one of his ex-assistant

Can’t wait for the half-time 1v1

Why wait for half time when they can do it right off the bat

Calling it now, Jeff walks up to him before the game and hugs him and tells him what a great mentor he was to psyche him out

LosAngeLukaGOAT | Cote D'Ivoire

Nothing will work, Mazz will back off and will start staring at him with those eyes.

Then he will throw a quote like don’t talk me, you’re on the other side now.

P.S: You said Jeff, isn’t your new coach is Charle Lee ? But I do understand why you typed Jeff lol

LaMelonBallz | Hornets

Lol Jeff is our President of Operations who got hired at the same time and I still consistently switch their first names lol.

They operate hand in hand

Josh Green is one of those guys that can be a strong asset on a good team, but will never be a good asset on a bad time. Some guys don’t have the motor/skill and need to ride a wave

See: PJ Washington

God I hope he’s enjoying being back in the hood

God I hope he’s enjoying being back in the hood

You and me both after he celebrated leaving only to be right back where he left after bashing us like he did as if he wasnt part of the problem.

And then we got back Grant Williams who genuinely wants to be in Charlotte and has been playing really well. I’ll take the hometown guy any time

Some refs are legit corrupt because 40 fts is wild

TheWestRemembers | Lakers

First the Nuggets-Jazz game, now this. Brandon Williams, Dwight Powell, & Caleb Martin combining for 27 free throws was not on my bingo card.

Akipella | Warriors

THEY’RE HERE. WATCH OUT FOLKS. DON’T GET STUNG

Pistons and OKC fans always be like “durr why doesn’t every team just do the foul every play they can’t call them all strategy”

Sloppy game but we take a 27 pt dub

devinbookersuncle | Hornets

Even with the refs being paid off it makes no difference against us tonight.

Shit was embarrassing to watch with how egregious these calls were.

Mnudge | Mavericks

I was told last week that this was the game for Kon to assert his claim as the hands down front runner down ROTY.

It’s too bad Flagg wasn’t back. Our entire lineup is ass.

13 points in a 27 point blowout isn’t as bad as you want it to be. Kon is playing, contributing, while Cooper sits on the bench. Cry more about it.
