They were up 18 in the second and 9 late in the fourth. That was an epic gag job.They played like absolute hot garbage for a good portion of the game. Winning this would have been grand larceny.
Come on man, he was yelling at them, they were ignoring him. Do you want him to physically assault a ref?Where was Joe on that though? Someone like Nurse would have been all over them, and it would have happened.
The entire team on the court was screaming to check the clock, what did you want anyone else to do that would have got them to look?Good job Joe, right on top of the time situation.
….yeah, it did? I mean in that situation, to miss 2 is completely fucking inexcusable.Oh yes, Jrue going 0-2 killed them and not the collection of bricks from Brown.
I didn't see that. I saw him yelling at his players to get into defensive coverage. If he also yelled at the refs before that, then I'm just wrong.Come on man, he was yelling at them, they were ignoring him. Do you want him to physically assault a ref?
This.Lame but inconsequential. On to the next.
You do what good coaches do- yell and complain and maybe you get your way.What do you do, get a T?
I mean, they weren’t gonna have ANY games like this? No killer instinct in November on the second leg of a back to back?What a choke job, so similar to some from last year. Team still has no killer instinct. They coast for too many stretches
I mean, every team has losses like this. It only feels worse because the team has a reputation. The reality of the season so far is they actually have shown lots of killer instinct. Which is why their record is so good.What a choke job, so similar to some from last year. Team still has no killer instinct. They coast for too many stretches
They were utterly exhausted.I think that's malpractice not to hunt Lamelo. He's their whole team! Gotta get his man in the pick and roll. There was just nothing going to the rim in the last 5 minutes or overtime. I don't get it.
Blowing one lead like that is a choke. Blowing two means that you played a lot of shit basketball.They were up 18 in the second and 9 late in the fourth. That was an epic gag job.
Yup. It’s a random game early in the season. Ideally they win because Charlotte is piss poor but it doesn’t matter in the endLame but inconsequential. On to the next.
Sam's 1-9 would like to take some credit.Oh yes, Jrue going 0-2 killed them and not the collection of bricks from Brown.
Yeah, he was trying, and it's dumb that he has no outlet to make them look at it. Sorry though, was a little too aggressive in response haI didn't see that. I saw him yelling at his players to get into defensive coverage. If he also yelled at the refs before that, then I'm just wrong.
And there we have itWhat a choke job, so similar to some from last year. Team still has no killer instinct. They coast for too many stretches
Yeah, I'll take a 3 and 1 road trip anytime.This.
Single game +/- is always an incredible stat to look at. No errors whatsoeverUnikornet was +25 in 11 minutes!
Hayward got him with the lower body he wasn't in Tatum's landing space though.Isn’t that also a technical?
What a great worthwhile stat. I think +20 of those were from him standing in the paint as Pritchard went nuclear in the 2Q. Was it his calm eyes that allowed Pritchard to get into his comfort zone against McGowens?Unikornet was +25 in 11 minutes!
Lame but inconsequential. On to the next.
Jobbed by the refs two nights in a row, still no excuse. Bring on the Bucks.This.
Yeah, that was me. Not salty at all. Just a joke in my household whenever a Boston team loses. I thought Charlotte played tough and I agree with everything you said. Also, what a ‘Pardon My Take’?Someone earlier said it was the Hornets Superbowl but if you listened to Pardon My Take, you know that's a salty fan's response to a loss. This is more like the Hornets best win of the early season. Let's see a rematch with DWhite back and the entire team not bricking from the line because they are dog tired.
Clearly a step slow all night on any kind of loose ball/rebound situation. Except for the human missile Brissett.Charlotte scored on their last 4 possessions in regulation, with two offensive rebounds playing a big part. Just a total collapse down the stretch that everyone contributed to.
Tatum, White, Porzingis, and Holiday can contribute if their shot isn’t falling. When Jaylen’s shot isn’t falling he is a massive net negative. Actively killed them tonight.I would rather be without Jaylen than White for a single game, if I had to choose in a make belief hypothetical.
I have no idea why he played both games after a groin thing two nights before. Kind of odd not to take that opportunity for a rest day.Tatum, White, Porzingis, and Holiday can contribute if their shot isn’t falling. When Jaylen’s shot isn’t falling he is a massive net negative.

Agree. He clearly had no lift on his jumper and front rimmed a ton of threes both nights. 1-6 last night and 0-5 tonight. Makes no sense.I have no idea why he played both games after a groin thing two nights before. Kind of odd not to take that opportunity for a rest day.
This narrative fucking sucks and it’s not even right.Tatum, White, Porzingis, and Holiday can contribute if their shot isn’t falling. When Jaylen’s shot isn’t falling he is a massive net negative. Actively killed them tonight.
Apologies - its a podcast on Barstool - its their only content I consume - and they used that exact phrase today. I was hoping you heard it and were making their joke. Either way, I thought the post was spot on. Their interpretation aside, you typically use it when a win is a big deal for one side and not even a thought for the other. That's what this game was imo.Yeah, that was me. Not salty at all. Just a joke in my household whenever a Boston team loses. I thought Charlotte played tough and I agree with everything you said. Also, what a ‘Pardon My Take’?
He's a good one on one defender only when he wants to be. He was loafing around on defense all night tonight.This narrative fucking sucks and it’s not even right.
Jaylen is a great one on one defender. I’m not even going to do my normal thing where I list negatives to make it more palatable for people who obviously will hate no matter what.
EDIT: and to act like Jrue wasn’t a fucking anchor on the neck of the team tonight is hilarious. The dude bricked two free throws in the clutch and was turning the ball over like it was going out of style. If Jaylen did that, this thread would be double the size.
Again, new car smell and all of that
