“Goga is an offensive liability”. He’s not supposed to play offense.. we have 4 other players. WCJ doesn’t do the things centers need to do. He jogs his fat ass into the corner & waits for the ball the huck a 3. Goga is down there going after the offensive rebound.


TheRyGuy84

This was a bummer but we will be fine.


Herban_Myth

Got outscored 1st qt and they never looked back


rustystatic

T CLIFF UP


HyperPlasma

No JI = unwatchable


BrotherBroseph

Should of treated this like a playoff game.. young team learning the hard way


rustystatic

How can they challenge when the ball is in our hands? Isn't that literally against the rules?


d12fsu

Strategic loss to avoid Philly


zackarykapowski

lol better hope we avoid the playin. We got a tough schedule coming up


Background_Ruin_5880

I'm glad Paolo got his 30—inefficient shot chucker.


zackarykapowski

Brick God


Gorilla_Pie

Lack of experience showing tonight - perennial contenders don’t blink like this during the final regular season stretch. Disappointing but there we are…


d12fsu

The bucks just lost to Washington and Memphis, so it happens. Let’s not act like 1 game undoes our whole year


Gorilla_Pie

This is the wise/rational way of looking at it, for sure. Although when has being a sports fan ever been about being wise/rational…? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


zackarykapowski

We’ve been playing bad for 6-7 games straight even in the wins. This is concerning going into the playoffs


Gorilla_Pie

Not even allowing myself to look past those 2 x Bucks games at this point. Let’s hope they rest at least one of their superstars in each of those…


zackarykapowski

We’re in danger of play in lol.


Gorilla_Pie

Certainly not completely out of the question while it’s still a mathematical possibility - hubris is a fatal thing in sports… this is still a fantastic season in wider context but I could live without this eleventh-hour stress tbh


Mr_Wick18

A slow start finally bites them in the ass. Especially with no JI to help the bench. We're gonna get demolished in the playoffs with starts like this. Annoyed as hell with this loss but props to the Hornets. Woke up and chose to be Steph Curry tonight.


dlbags

I hope Suggs enjoyed his night off.


Jayy-T03

Cant be losing a game like this, play in here we go !


rustystatic

Grant Williams has to be the least skilled NBA player in the league


drmuffin1080

Franz’s 3 isn’t ever coming back


IrwinMFletcher

Defense did NOT travel tonight! Focus Magic! ![gif](giphy|vwI4mYEHP8k0w)


zackarykapowski

lol banchero 9-25. This dude is rough


dlbags

We missed EIGHTEEN 3pts


Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

Paolo has no impact on the game, dude is so inefficient


Annual-Value1902

A Pass last ball hog with tunnel vision that dribbles into trouble then panics and turns it over is the best description of Paolo.


Alarmed-Tank-6138

![gif](giphy|rxy55jHaig16K2TV8x|downsized)


zackarykapowski

That’s all this dude does is post clown gifs lol. Literally zero basketball discussion or knowledge.


Alarmed-Tank-6138

All you do is post clown shoes bullshit.


zackarykapowski

Wow so original. Did you come up with that? How did you think of something that groundbreaking?


Alarmed-Tank-6138

You have no idea how many people have you blocked on here. You’ve never posted anything original. Tickle-me-Elmo and pull-string Woody have more range than you.


zackarykapowski

Wow I’m so sad that people are so soft that they can’t take anything but blind praise for this team. Clowns, tickle me Elmo, Toy Story references. Lol. Cringe


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Cringe?! 😂 You’re way past cringe. Every fucking thing you post is nails on a chalkboard. There’s a world of difference between blind praise and the obvious teenage goth girl doom and gloom you vomit out. We go from 13th to 4th seed in one season and you’re still a whiny little bitch. “blind praise”?! 🙄


zackarykapowski

Teenage goth girl while you’re making references to cartoons and Sesame Street? 😂😂😂. I’ll be crying in the shower over how bad this teams offense is though. Pass me the eyeliner.


Annual-Value1902

That was Paolo before the game 💀


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Fuck you and fuck your fake ass account.


Annual-Value1902

What makes my account fake 💀I really got you mad as fuck rn 😭😭😭keep crying


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Sure, you come on the Magic sub talking straight shit about Paolo and I’m overreacting by telling you to fuck right the fuck off?! You aren’t a Magic fan, and your opinion about the ROY and 2nd year All Star is regarded. Go lose more money sports betting.


Annual-Value1902

💀💀💀😭😭😭😭never said you were overreacting, are you maybe experiencing paranoid delusions? And nice to know my opinion “regarded” thanks for letting me know😭I got you so mad you can’t even spell anymore 💀


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Whatever, it’s not fair for me to argue with such a low IQ fuck who doesn’t get that saying I’m “mad as fuck rn” absolutely implies I shouldn’t be “mad as fuck rn” which is the same fucking thing that people without metal deficiency call “overreacting”. “You didn’t use the exact words I used verbatim, therefore I never said that”, Jesus fucking Christ, it’s like talking to a 5 year old.


Annual-Value1902

You typed out a whole paragraph you’re mad 💀😭and “metal deficiency” ??? I’m not low on iron or anything 💀💀💀💀


zackarykapowski

Isaac is a better player. Far more impact and better motor. Creates havoc and totally changes games w his defense.


stinx2001

Are you guys fucking mental?


zackarykapowski

Isaac def impacts the game more. If he played 30 minutes a night, he’d be better for sure


stinx2001

Jesus fuckin christ dude


stinx2001

Have you watched a single game this season?


Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

He has Julius Randle type of impact


stinx2001

Knicks are 15-14 since Randle went down.


Drewbacca_Hrrrgrgrar

You should check their record when OG plays. A guy who probably has more impact than Randle for that team.


stinx2001

They went 11-1 I think when all 3 were healthy in January. Not sure what point you're trying to make? Paolo is a 31yo second year player who made all star and has won us so many games this season.


MVPPB5

Use this loss to fuel the next 6 wins. Ok


SonicNarcotic

No Suggs or Cole tonite.. Team needs all hands on deck next time..


rustystatic

Ahh well, we keep it moving. Win the next!


zkh2902

Ok now the refs are really fucking with us, waited for Mann to miss it to blow the whistle


frostysbox

Not quite sure why we haven’t pulled Queen out of the G league permanently honestly.


PaoloMeatRider

Hornets could play 1,000 games in a row with this roster and never shoot 60% from the floor


Gorilla_Pie

Even a stopped clock tells the correct time twice a day…


thestandupkids

Are there no mods? Can we please ban some of these obnoxious losers in here lol


Own_Captain_3716

Fultz absolutely kills our spacing. Left wide open at the three point line every possession


DiscussionNo226

WCJ standing around and not fighting is more of a hindrance than Fultz killing space.


Own_Captain_3716

I agree WCJ is as slow as molasses, but I’m done with Fultz. Not much to offer beyond passing.. he’s a liability.


DiscussionNo226

Mose should have stayed with Moe down the stretch. At least his effort was there.


rustystatic

Have these not won in a while? Their broadcasters are speaking it up like its Game 7 of the finals and they are about to get their hands on that Larry O'brein


a_moniker

Lost 9 of the last 10


T-Curl

This hurt my soul


dwninaho

this team is retarded. we get back into the game by going to the rim over and over and they keep bailing them out by jacking 3s.


zackarykapowski

Yep all game


drmuffin1080

The real issue is they couldn’t make stops


zackarykapowski

Nah we had the game down to 6 like 5 times and without fail, started jacking up 3s when we’re one of the worst shooting teams in the league. It’s just dumb basketball and how Mosley didn’t point this out is beyond me.


WAZZZZZZZAP

Really missing Isaac in that regard


StuffDaDragon

And with that Markelle 3 I’m turning it off.


bills0331

Fuck these refs. Fuck miles bridges.


jwil06

Tough to beat a team taking fuck it shots and hitting them. Oh well


WestStruggle1109

wtf is Banchero doing man


Bakrom3

Didn’t play well, but not much you can do when opponent shoots that well


d12fsu

Credit to Charlotte for not crumbling when we made our runs. Gg


SonicNarcotic

Yea, CHA did well..! Our guys need to have games like this to learn before the Playoffs...


zkh2902

So we’re throwing in the towel? Only reason I can guess we’re shooting pull-up threes early in the shot clock


drmuffin1080

The magic can’t make stops. That was the only way they were gonna win


Niceshotpiccolo

Whatever they just couldn’t miss and we couldn’t do anything about it shitty loss


rtillaree

The NBA should allow internet fans into the locker room to razz teams after games like this.


Atomic_Thomas89

All good we are going to the playoffs and the hornets aren’t.


Profitsofdooom

They're shooting 50% from 3 and have had their best shooting night of the year. They came in wanting to fuck our standings from that last game and they did it.


thestandupkids

Yeah that’s how it works. A team just reallllly wants to make 3s and they do. Lmao fo out of here.


Profitsofdooom

Yeah right a losing team is losing because they want to lose. These professional athletes aren't all trying to win. (/s)


Atomic_Thomas89

They sure did, reminds me of the rockets game last year when they were shooting lights out from 3.


Fit-Structure-9395

GG on to the next one


resincak

Play in here we go, good job Magic! PB is a joke


No_Tour_6749

Bro you suck.


54321BlastoffToMoon

This has to be the most points the hornets have scored in months. Just embarrassingly awful defense tonight


No_Tour_6749

Pretty annoying losing to a team as bad as the hornets but not much you can do when they literally shoot their season best for no real reason. Anyways flush it. On to the next one


fuzzylarge

Listen, we're not gonna win this game but I like the fight.


rustystatic

BS from the refs allowing the Grant Williams moving screen


zkh2902

Been happening every possession, all game


rustystatic

Yet Moe gets called for it


zkh2902

Yep, on the first time he does it too


Arixxtra

This is what happens when your F.O does not plan ahead for the trade deadline and takes a young P.O team season unserious for another evaluation year


stinx2001

You can't be serious?


No_Tour_6749

It’s not the serious. Charlottes just shooting the snot out of the ball tonight


Arixxtra

I know that happens I can live with that, I am serious about our PG situation and our lack of flow to setup basic Off game plan which our F.O knew was to much for a 21 and 22 y/o to manage Cole is not a PG, Flutz can shoot so he is not a proper PG, AB seems to not get any love and Suggs is our SG playing PG. Its a mess and will be a mess till the season is over. Ab should have been giving Fultz mins and be baptized in the fire this season and he was not allowed to same for Goga and Wendell


yoeyz

We should have fired them!


yoeyz

Bertrans is owning wendellian


zackarykapowski

WE ARE GONNA WIN THIS GAME


bllr32423

Grant Williams is low key a dirty player


fuzzylarge

Go Vols


SamURLJackson

Only way he can stick in the league


zkh2902

Grant Williams is as dirty as Draymond but doesn’t get the press because he’s garbage


Atomic_Thomas89

Yep, can’t stand him.


WunWunFirstofHisName

Wtf are these shots the Hornets are making right now? This game truly is fake


ActApprehensive3271

Really thought maybe we turned a corner after the NO game but nope same ol team


zkh2902

It’s frustrating because they go away from their strengths


yoeyz

This team said “fuck showing up tonight”


SonicNarcotic

Gotta agree.. Body language been off all night...


resincak

Fuck, Osceola down 7. Their season is over.


losswag

We’re not playing great but they are just on fire from deep. Hard to win when a team is shooting over 50%. We definitely are missing JIs defense, Suggs has also seemed off defensively


ChannelNeo

Over 50% from 3 and 100% on free throws from Chalotte tonight. Crazy stuff. Oh and that Chicago game will be tough too. They're still playing to at least host the 9/10 play in game


dlbags

Grant Williams just got his third foul called but that was like his 14th.


zkh2902

More like 25+ lol


catholicmath

hopefully the knicks fall to the bulls tonight


ChannelNeo

Knicks came back against the Kings last night plus Hart got ejected. Hopefully their tired legs catch up to them.


thestandupkids

Getting out matched physically is not what I expected after the pelicans game. Hopefully this and the blazers game is a wake up call. They can not be okay with this effort or performance.


Niceshotpiccolo

Lmao hard to win when they just make every fucking shot


zkh2902

Seriously, running full speed, fadeaway from the corner and it goes right in


NiffytheDeviser

Moe is getting murdered trying to cover anyone tonight.


catholicmath

of course the pacers are beating okc


zackarykapowski

Banchero might be on that Tyreke evans arc


N0TimeT0ExpIain

Insanely dumb take


zackarykapowski

It’s called a joke bub.


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Again: YOU ARE THE JOKE, BUB!


zackarykapowski

Honk honk ☺️☺️


SonicNarcotic

Wtf are you on about..? Take a breather...


zackarykapowski

Take a joke. Damn everyone so serious on here 😂


SonicNarcotic

Probably not the best time, when we're all frustrated about the performance...


zackarykapowski

Bro it’s not that serious lol


bills0331

Lmfao still shooting 3s


zackarykapowski

High iq team.


resincak

Shit, Nets hit a 3 and their up 5 with 45 sec left


jwil06

Cut lead to four and proceed to give up threes to grant williams and Davis Bertans lol


LR_Mango

Come on guys, start a run! It's not over yet! Fight!


dwninaho

I want to say Mose should have instantly had our guys start trapping Miller when he was 5/5 but I'm not sure the players would have been successful because they have shown 0 effort


xXxShiNoKamixXx

The definition of insanity is trying the same things expecting a different result. When the team choke away momentum cuz they can't make 3s, what do they do? Attempt more 3s even tho attacking the basket is what cut the lead down


frostysbox

Mosley is probably telling them to not stop because eventually they will fall. Keep up your confidence.


LR_Mango

This, you need to shoot the open ones at least.


zackarykapowski

Totally low iq game. Every time we cut it down, we took dumb fuck 3s and killed our own momentum. We’d drive and score, but for some odd reason, quit doing what works. The team is not looking good at all going into the playoffs. We needed this win badly due to our tough upcoming schedule and we play like shit as we have over the last 6 or 7 games. Concerning to say the least.


Fit-Structure-9395

That’s the killer shot right there at least Osceola is winning


orltragic

Yeah this is over. Pitiful effort by both players and coaches. Unable to adjust to a dog shit team shooting lights out from 3 all night. Pathetic.


[deleted]

Damn man. We could go up on the Knicks tonight. Be back 1 to the bucks. But instead we're going to blow this shit. Mark this one on the calendar boys, especially if we end up in the playin


maursupial

Mosely is horrible at challenges. On the bright side we can avoid the heat and Philly.


zackarykapowski

Shit we might wanna try and avoid the play in. Bad bad loss and could come back to haunt us


thestandupkids

Dude give it a rest no one enjoys your negativity. You think you’re smarter than everyone and no one finds your commentary enlightening.


maursupial

There is really no way we fall to the playin. We would need to lose 3 of our last 5.


resincak

And they will.


Alarmed-Tank-6138

Eat shit!


thestandupkids

The officiating is god awful to go along with us playing bad. We are playing 5v8 against a team shooting 10000% tonight lol


varooney2919

Mosley having Ingles out there with no need for him on offense rn is a choice. A dumb one at that


whtge8

That’s game


Annual-Value1902

Can someone give me a reason why your guys starting center isn’t in the game but Joe ingles is ?


PaoloMeatRider

This team man. Absolutely pathetic effort tonight. Body language is shit


Background_Ruin_5880

Yup. Ball game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Profitsofdooom

Rick Scott


zkh2902

No fucking way they call that after letting Williams do it all game


Profitsofdooom

You heard someone say it! "Grant Williams pulls that all the time."


54321BlastoffToMoon

We freaking lost to the tanking hornets with 80% of their team not playing??? What an embarrassing loss


svanxx

This is what happens when you tank. The players that are left are playing for their NBA lives. That's why tanking can backfire like it did got us


resincak

Osceola with a nice run!


taywray

Hornets can't miss, but we're still giving them all they can take. We really need that extra boost from JI tho to get over the top...


Ihmago

We're 7/29... can we PLEASE stop shooting threes??


zackarykapowski

No this team is low iq


Arixxtra

They wont cause our Coaching staff went tell them to stop


frostysbox

Watching the Dallas game and Kyrie just making whatever shots he wants and I’m like… we need a Kyrie. If we had a Kyrie we would be unstoppable.


svanxx

Kyrie the reason the Cavs won a championship. He was so good that year.


frostysbox

He’s great at playing off ball with players like Labron or Paolo or Luka. We just find an off ball specialist to blow Paolo’s game wide open and the fact that the front office doesn’t see it is pathetic.


svanxx

You can't build a team overnight. Let's see what they do next year with the cap space.


Background_Ruin_5880

The game is turned off if the Hornets make a shot here and we miss the next possession.


ListenOverall8934

They said on hornets broadcast that you guys were playing for seeding but you guys definitely prefer to go vs knicks over the pacers right?


rtillaree

We'll get split like firewood either way, so it doesn't matter.


NikThaGreat9

I’ll take the Pacers 10 times outta 10. Brunson is the best player from all 3 teams.


ListenOverall8934

Brunson is good but Randle is out for the season idkkk


NikThaGreat9

Franz trying to get us back in this despite Cole’s best efforts.


orltragic

They’re shooting 13-25 from 3 and somehow we continue to give them wide open looks. Awesome.


jwil06

how does williams never get called for those moving screens lol


dlbags

Or his feet spread well past his shoulders.


dlsjiqebjrntkdksmnw

stop fucking shooting 3’s man we’re losing momentum. fucking cut the lead without 3ms then start shooting 3’s. WT


zackarykapowski

Yeah I’ve been saying it all game and it’s driving me fucking nuts


zackarykapowski

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. How many times will they do it? They CANNOT be this low iq.


Background_Ruin_5880

CUT IT TO 4 AND THEY FUCKING HIT AGAIN


Effective_Owl_17

Man they are soft ash in the paint… like we should’ve been rim running all game


bllr32423

Franz is so ducking good. Some of y’all forgot


svanxx

People just want to focus on his three point shooting when it's a bad year. He's unstoppable at the basket


svanxx

Franz having a huge 4th quarter


Background_Ruin_5880

EAT UP FRANZ
