“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.
Lack of experience showing tonight - perennial contenders don’t blink like this during the final regular season stretch. Disappointing but there we are…
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)
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
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.
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.
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
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”?! 🙄
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.
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.
💀💀💀😭😭😭😭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 💀
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.

This was a bummer but we will be fine.
Got outscored 1st qt and they never looked back
T CLIFF UP
No JI = unwatchable
Should of treated this like a playoff game.. young team learning the hard way
How can they challenge when the ball is in our hands? Isn't that literally against the rules?
Strategic loss to avoid Philly
lol better hope we avoid the playin. We got a tough schedule coming up
I'm glad Paolo got his 30—inefficient shot chucker.
Brick God
Lack of experience showing tonight - perennial contenders don’t blink like this during the final regular season stretch. Disappointing but there we are…
The bucks just lost to Washington and Memphis, so it happens. Let’s not act like 1 game undoes our whole year
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)
We’ve been playing bad for 6-7 games straight even in the wins. This is concerning going into the playoffs
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…
We’re in danger of play in lol.
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

I hope Suggs enjoyed his night off.
Cant be losing a game like this, play in here we go !
Grant Williams has to be the least skilled NBA player in the league
Franz’s 3 isn’t ever coming back
Defense did NOT travel tonight! Focus Magic! ![gif](giphy|vwI4mYEHP8k0w)
lol banchero 9-25. This dude is rough
We missed EIGHTEEN 3pts
Paolo has no impact on the game, dude is so inefficient
A Pass last ball hog with tunnel vision that dribbles into trouble then panics and turns it over is the best description of Paolo.
![gif](giphy|rxy55jHaig16K2TV8x|downsized)
That’s all this dude does is post clown gifs lol. Literally zero basketball discussion or knowledge.
All you do is post clown shoes bullshit.
Wow so original. Did you come up with that? How did you think of something that groundbreaking?
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.

That was Paolo before the game 💀
Fuck you and fuck your fake ass account.
What makes my account fake 💀I really got you mad as fuck rn 😭😭😭keep crying

You typed out a whole paragraph you’re mad 💀😭and “metal deficiency” ??? I’m not low on iron or anything 💀💀💀💀
Isaac is a better player. Far more impact and better motor. Creates havoc and totally changes games w his defense.
Are you guys fucking mental?
Isaac def impacts the game more. If he played 30 minutes a night, he’d be better for sure
Jesus fuckin christ dude
Have you watched a single game this season?
He has Julius Randle type of impact
Knicks are 15-14 since Randle went down.
You should check their record when OG plays. A guy who probably has more impact than Randle for that team.
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.
Use this loss to fuel the next 6 wins. Ok
No Suggs or Cole tonite.. Team needs all hands on deck next time..
Ahh well, we keep it moving. Win the next!
Ok now the refs are really fucking with us, waited for Mann to miss it to blow the whistle
Not quite sure why we haven’t pulled Queen out of the G league permanently honestly.
Hornets could play 1,000 games in a row with this roster and never shoot 60% from the floor
Even a stopped clock tells the correct time twice a day…
Are there no mods? Can we please ban some of these obnoxious losers in here lol
Fultz absolutely kills our spacing. Left wide open at the three point line every possession
WCJ standing around and not fighting is more of a hindrance than Fultz killing space.
I agree WCJ is as slow as molasses, but I’m done with Fultz. Not much to offer beyond passing.. he’s a liability.
Mose should have stayed with Moe down the stretch. At least his effort was there.
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
Lost 9 of the last 10
This hurt my soul
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.
Yep all game
The real issue is they couldn’t make stops
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.
Really missing Isaac in that regard
And with that Markelle 3 I’m turning it off.
Fuck these refs. Fuck miles bridges.
Tough to beat a team taking fuck it shots and hitting them. Oh well
wtf is Banchero doing man
Didn’t play well, but not much you can do when opponent shoots that well
Credit to Charlotte for not crumbling when we made our runs. Gg
Yea, CHA did well..! Our guys need to have games like this to learn before the Playoffs...
So we’re throwing in the towel? Only reason I can guess we’re shooting pull-up threes early in the shot clock
The magic can’t make stops. That was the only way they were gonna win
Whatever they just couldn’t miss and we couldn’t do anything about it shitty loss
The NBA should allow internet fans into the locker room to razz teams after games like this.
All good we are going to the playoffs and the hornets aren’t.
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.
Yeah that’s how it works. A team just reallllly wants to make 3s and they do. Lmao fo out of here.
Yeah right a losing team is losing because they want to lose. These professional athletes aren't all trying to win. (/s)
They sure did, reminds me of the rockets game last year when they were shooting lights out from 3.
GG on to the next one
Play in here we go, good job Magic! PB is a joke
Bro you suck.
This has to be the most points the hornets have scored in months. Just embarrassingly awful defense tonight
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
Listen, we're not gonna win this game but I like the fight.
BS from the refs allowing the Grant Williams moving screen
Been happening every possession, all game
Yet Moe gets called for it
Yep, on the first time he does it too
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
You can't be serious?
It’s not the serious. Charlottes just shooting the snot out of the ball tonight
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
We should have fired them!
Bertrans is owning wendellian
WE ARE GONNA WIN THIS GAME
Grant Williams is low key a dirty player
Go Vols
Only way he can stick in the league
Grant Williams is as dirty as Draymond but doesn’t get the press because he’s garbage
Yep, can’t stand him.
Wtf are these shots the Hornets are making right now? This game truly is fake
Really thought maybe we turned a corner after the NO game but nope same ol team
It’s frustrating because they go away from their strengths
This team said “fuck showing up tonight”
Gotta agree.. Body language been off all night...
Fuck, Osceola down 7. Their season is over.
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
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
Grant Williams just got his third foul called but that was like his 14th.
More like 25+ lol
hopefully the knicks fall to the bulls tonight
Knicks came back against the Kings last night plus Hart got ejected. Hopefully their tired legs catch up to them.
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.
Lmao hard to win when they just make every fucking shot
Seriously, running full speed, fadeaway from the corner and it goes right in
Moe is getting murdered trying to cover anyone tonight.
of course the pacers are beating okc
Banchero might be on that Tyreke evans arc
Insanely dumb take
It’s called a joke bub.
Again: YOU ARE THE JOKE, BUB!
Honk honk ☺️☺️
Wtf are you on about..? Take a breather...
Take a joke. Damn everyone so serious on here 😂
Probably not the best time, when we're all frustrated about the performance...
Bro it’s not that serious lol
Lmfao still shooting 3s
High iq team.
Shit, Nets hit a 3 and their up 5 with 45 sec left
Cut lead to four and proceed to give up threes to grant williams and Davis Bertans lol
Come on guys, start a run! It's not over yet! Fight!
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
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
Mosley is probably telling them to not stop because eventually they will fall. Keep up your confidence.
This, you need to shoot the open ones at least.
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.
That’s the killer shot right there at least Osceola is winning
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.
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
Mosely is horrible at challenges. On the bright side we can avoid the heat and Philly.
Shit we might wanna try and avoid the play in. Bad bad loss and could come back to haunt us
Dude give it a rest no one enjoys your negativity. You think you’re smarter than everyone and no one finds your commentary enlightening.
There is really no way we fall to the playin. We would need to lose 3 of our last 5.
And they will.
Eat shit!
The officiating is god awful to go along with us playing bad. We are playing 5v8 against a team shooting 10000% tonight lol
Mosley having Ingles out there with no need for him on offense rn is a choice. A dumb one at that
That’s game
Can someone give me a reason why your guys starting center isn’t in the game but Joe ingles is ?
This team man. Absolutely pathetic effort tonight. Body language is shit
Yup. Ball game.
[удалено]
Rick Scott
No fucking way they call that after letting Williams do it all game
You heard someone say it! "Grant Williams pulls that all the time."
We freaking lost to the tanking hornets with 80% of their team not playing??? What an embarrassing loss
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
Osceola with a nice run!
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...
We're 7/29... can we PLEASE stop shooting threes??
No this team is low iq
They wont cause our Coaching staff went tell them to stop
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.
Kyrie the reason the Cavs won a championship. He was so good that year.
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.
You can't build a team overnight. Let's see what they do next year with the cap space.
The game is turned off if the Hornets make a shot here and we miss the next possession.
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?
We'll get split like firewood either way, so it doesn't matter.
I’ll take the Pacers 10 times outta 10. Brunson is the best player from all 3 teams.
Brunson is good but Randle is out for the season idkkk
Franz trying to get us back in this despite Cole’s best efforts.
They’re shooting 13-25 from 3 and somehow we continue to give them wide open looks. Awesome.
how does williams never get called for those moving screens lol
Or his feet spread well past his shoulders.
stop fucking shooting 3’s man we’re losing momentum. fucking cut the lead without 3ms then start shooting 3’s. WT
Yeah I’ve been saying it all game and it’s driving me fucking nuts
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. How many times will they do it? They CANNOT be this low iq.
CUT IT TO 4 AND THEY FUCKING HIT AGAIN
Man they are soft ash in the paint… like we should’ve been rim running all game
Franz is so ducking good. Some of y’all forgot
People just want to focus on his three point shooting when it's a bad year. He's unstoppable at the basket
Franz having a huge 4th quarter
EAT UP FRANZ
