We are incredibly poorly coached
Remember when LaMelo won ROTY and then we started the next season 3-0… good times.
Well I guess we’re not going to Vegas. Get Clifford outta here.

James Borrego did more with less
The bet for under 32 wins looks better everyday.
nba team in the year 2023 making 6 threes and Im not even surprised. New owners need to put their foot down and put the big red dog down
Imagine Borrego with these players. We wouldn’t even need defense because the offense would be humming.
How can a defensive minded coach be responsible for such a poor defensive team?
our 6 3-pointers to Milwaukee’s 22 tho 💀
Imagine adding Rozier back into the rotation. We will get feasted on every night.
22 vs 6 on 3PM hot dangg
The league has shifted to have so many good 3 point shooters that we gotta stop letting paint touches draw us off the 3 point line all game.
We can’t make threes because most of the threes we take aren’t really open. There’s terrible spacing a ball movement
Gotta say, this game makes me wanna take back the Ish Smith slander I spoke on Tuesday. Only 1 turnover and the lil dude was hustling across the court and blocking people towering over him
Left at halftime to go to dinner with friends. Score was basically tied. What the heck happened?
Lmao at all the people who said betting on us winning more than 31 games was easy money. We are a bottom 3 team in the east.
Positives:
Melo looked pretty good
Miles looked good for his return
Mark Williams offensive rebounding was great
and that’s about it tbh
Negatives:
the defense is straight up horrendous, i have never instinctively thought an opposing team’s 3 is going in as much as with this team
The team is also allergic to three point shooting which makes the bad perimeter defense even worse
Clifford continues to coach a team made for the 80s, genuinely some of the worst coaching I’ve ever seen, for a coach that is known for his defensive style it’s honestly impressive how he can conjure a defense not just mediocre but down right horrible
Hayward and Washington had essentially no positive impact on the game going for 5 points and 6 fouls combined tonight, genuinely some of the worst games I’ve seen from both of them in a while and if this is how the rest of the season is gonna go were in for a long ride
Overall defense continues to prevent us from getting or keeping a lead but on top of that our consistency is killing us. It feels like 1 or 2 different players go off every night just for the rest of the team to be a let down meaning that if we win we have to hope whoever is playing well can drag us to a win.
GGs to the bucks and onto the next…
Fire up the tank baby let’s get some trade assests lmao
Cliff was a defensive minded coach 6 years ago. Hell I’d argue he was even a solid coach then but the league has passed him by. Our team looks like a dinosaur out there. We take less threes than a 2010s team for crying out loud
I think Gordon Hayward should be our coach. His analysis is better than his play.
22 three pointers? Good lawd!
This is honestly harder to watch than last season. At least the hospital Hornets had a justification for losing so much. I feel like coaching has to be the biggest issue at this point. Changes need to happen ASAP
