1. Maybe the team name should be the Apple Turnovers. Brutal
2. Is it just me or do we oddly do better when Cliff has fewer rotation options?
3. Have we set some sort of record for most injuries? Geesh
I don’t wanna be mad because we had no business being in that game, but wow we choked that at the end lmao
If the fact we only lost by 6 with half our roster out is not enough of a moral victory for you, losing by only 6 means our differential is still +1 for the tourny group stage
Mark left the game with 4 minutes left in the 3rd and Cliff sat him the rest of the game on a night where we already have no depth
Honestly, with the amount of injuries we’ve had, it’s incredible how we managed to keep it this close.
Theo Maledon is NOT GOOD. We basically play with a player down with him on the floor.
Teams in the NBA need to know when to stop shooting 3s and get some easier buckets. We could’ve taken this game at the end but folks decided to only shoot 3s wtf 🤦🏾♂️
Alright, now the real season begins Friday with Miles coming back (fingers crossed)
7 guys out and we still almost beat the heat. Don’t know why people are complaining
Jimmy Butler just drew another foul walking back to the locker room
The Heat went 8-31 from 3 and still won. That’s crazy.
Mark should *never* play less than 25 minutes when he’s healthy and not in foul trouble. That’s just insane.
He’s our second most important player for the future right now and we’re not winning anyways. Keep him in, in any scenario. Cliff is such a bonehead.
Theo and Ish competing for who can turn the ball over more. At least NSJ busted his ass when he was in the game.
Honestly, they played better than i expected considering how many players are out
9-26 wow!
Alright… we had NO reason being close in this game so can’t the loss too hard.
I was just following on gametracker so didn’t have full context – any idea why Steve didn’t play mark the entire fourth quarter??
Shot 47% from 3 with 32 attempts and still lost…………………
Nick Smith needs to get all of Theo and Ish’s minutes
I think Nick Smith Jr earned some of Cliffs trust tonight. That may get him some minutes.
I’m just glad we competed pretty well instead of getting blown out.
We have a lot to improve, but for a busted up roster and the refs doing what they do…..not bad
Theory: Cody Martin will be the new face behind Hugo
Tired of people game after game questioning why mark Williams isn’t playing more. He’s a “defensive” center who gets cooked on defense the second his man shows any physicality. He’s also extremely slow footed and can’t guard stretch 5s. He’s a very big reason why this team is dropping games early and I can’t believe more hornets fans aren’t seeing this
If the calls weren’t so insanely lopsided we’re winning a game that tight. Refs in the locker room cashing out their bets and celebrating with Miami
Very pleasantly surprised at how well our guys stepped up tonight though.
This was a great game by us considering our games so far this year and who we had out. But even with that said my god it was a gut wrenching loss because they made me *believe*.
Buzz up onto the next one
I’m more disgusted by hearing those heat chats in our house 😷
missing more than a few key players and the refs were pretty terrible in my opinion. could have been worse
Mark not being on the floor when we needed to seal the deal in the 4th was crazy
Whose idea is it to keep putting Ish Smith on the court when all he does is pass the ball to the other team?
