This organization can’t even play their rookies right🤦🏼♂️
WALKER MAYO
Maybe play Thor more
Every podcast title should be pertaining to how Jordan and Mitch are at fault.. this team roster was the worse going into the season
Walker he like to go, why would he not? LUCKA, DAME, JA, STEF, KYRIE,
HARDEN, Etc, play no D, understand
Play no D
Steve Clifford should stay Melo get the hell out go somewhere who want
Him to be there. He doesn't play Mark his Rotation sucks..
Tro is oveously jealous of Lamelo every time Melo start cooking Tro starts playing selfishly like oh no Melo scoreing I better get mine won't even pass the ball back or, go in Melo direction same for Mcdonald
Yall not seeing, Coach not seeing that, that is why they can't win over, and over waste to many opportunities on the court..
Clifford never take the blame
I told yall he lost the locker room
Melo fed up. Clifford thinks Tro
Is the best Player, or he scared of Tro frenken joke….
The hornets will not and will never trade any of these players until Mitch is told go as far away as possible he is the reason the hornets will never take the next step
I'm begging some staffer to get MJ to sexually assault them. The WOOAT needs to go.
To many people want to handle the ball, put the ball in Melo hands there chances is better.
Once the trade deadline is up and all we get is some journeyman vets for Mcdanials and Richard’s can we talk about getting Mitch out?
A few weeks ago these guys were singing the praises of Nick Richards and now it's all about Mark Williams as if Nick has been playing bad. This sport is unforgiving and ungrateful
Prediction: Mitch does nothing, once again, at the trade deadline… it’s kinda wild but (oh wait no it’s not, that’s actually realistic) 💀
The turnovers last night were the deciding factor in our loss last night. Lamelo and Mason are the only consistent players on the team and you can't ask for a year 3 player at 21 to put the team on his back just yet, we need more veterans.
Your topic today should have focused on absolutely no easy plays for LaMelo Ball. This is an NBA team who's best player has started out on fire the last two games and the Hornets essentially , in his 2 plus years do not run any plays for him or like reversing the ball back to him. It has to be tough playing with a group of guys who seem to want to remake themselves into scorers and ball handlers. Every team worth its salt has 3 and D guys , but not the Hornets. The announcers were calling this a career year for Mason Plumlee. If you have your best year as a starter and your team is 11 and 32 then that is bad direction and bad coaching. The focus for this team should not be on the vets, it should be on the young guys. This team is not nor was built to win, even with Miles Bridges. The critique you wage at this young player LaMelo Ball is like you are asking him to grow the food, harvest the food, cook the food, serve the food and do the dishes. Woops! see there Melo you missed a spoon! Start critiquing the coaching and ask questions like why in the game Tuesday when LaMelo Ball was on fire, did you take him out just past the 6 minute mark in the first quarter . How come we do not have the ball rotate back to the young star who is a more than willing and expert passer. I am not sure that this coach can relate to the young players or if his hands are tied by management. Ask the GM why they have not done anything of significance but cash checks ( Trez Harrell, Isaiah Thomas please give me a break) since 2020 and the signing of LaMelo Ball. The most visible Michael Jordan has been since 2020 is when he brought his NASCAR people to a game One bad half or one bad game does not define a young player nor does a good game.,. I feel you have to give the cream ample playing time in order to rise to the top. It often seems like young guys on this team who have a good game, half or quarter are rewarded with elongated bench time. This team is not vying for a playoff spot,, put the young guys in.
Keep Terry.
Fouling and Turnovers …
I’d say he had a bad game. There was an important stretch where we turned the ball over about 4 possessions in a row. We were playing sloppy. And Melo was taking some wild shots. Worst 30 point performance this season .. lol.
Wow. Another Lamelo Ball's great, but…….Give it a break fellas. Blaming the victim again is getting old.
Walker, Doug, Nick & Everybody from the locked on hornets…after this season, you guys owe LaMelo a Spa Appointment for carrying this weak ass team🤧🤞🏽
I like what Nick said, this team has good offensive skill and poor defensive habits. Also after with Doug, this roster needs a complete reconstruction
