Lamelo Ball cooked yall too 🤣
Hornets are on their way to being the team we should have been..🙇 Mathurin is the only reason I watch IND. I've been enjoying watching OKC, CAVS and Knicks lately.
I can say why, because they gutted this team and Hali is completely MIA. I once thought he was better than LaMelo. Was the first half of last year. LaMelo now has taken his game to another level. He's a wayyy better shooter. He has a fast release and can shoot without being set. Dude is amazing.. and they have Miller, Bridges, Richards and Mann.. Solid core right there… They continue to build around those guy's and they will be a great team soon.
I was in an internet chat during this game and I apologized to all the Charlotte fans for this disgusting performance, which was disrespectful to the sport of basketball and everyone who has ever laced up a pair of sneaks.
I was 100% on team roll-it-back this off-season. I'm not one for reactionary overhauls every time there's a bad stretch, but wow… Now, I don't even know. Do we need new coaching? Trade Tyrese?
I can’t keep taking these losses I know it’s only 9 games but we just look lost every other night. We need Tyrese to play well, a backup center, and a movement shooter who Tyrese can play off of.
The rebounding was the problem
The Pacers need to Sign a backup Big Man soon.
I have doubts that his back is the issue. Maybe wearing the brace and pads is just for optics. An excuse for the fans and commentary to latch onto in order to disregard the possible truth; that he may just not be the player we think he is.
Let's face it, Hali is who he is. And we're stick paying $50 million per year.
LaMelo had 17 in the 4th. Ty disappeared.
Without HIMaburton from last year that was insane we are a middle of the pack team. Good but not good enough. If he hurt in any fashion just please sit him for a couple games but if he’s good then he needs to get out of his own head.
How many years have I been saying we HAVE to move on from Turner if we EVER want a championship?
What this really brought focus to is that Nesmith, Nembhard, and Jackson are the core leaders the team needs to build upon.
When the caption is a poor outing the thumbnail should have been Hali. Ben was again one of the only bright spots on the team
Is there something going on with teammates not getting the ball to Pascal??? This game was horrible. Pascal was hot hot, and when he came back in they didn't get the ball to him. They were up by double digits when he left the game, and when he returned, the lead had dwindled to almost nothing. To make things worse, they don't get to their hottest player. Disgusting!!! There was NO reason for them to lose this game. Do other players not see Siakam's value??? I am really starting to question what is TRULY going on here??!!!
When we see Hali and Myles are playing ass they should maybe play through benn and pascal
I wouldn't be too disheartened the Hornets with a healthy lamelo are a different team
Mathurin and Siakam the roonian came to ▶️ 😊
bro gave excuses about starter being injured when both of hornets starting center and secon C and starter miles bridges is out too. if anything hornets had starters out
None of this is going to change until we cut the cancer out… Rick and Myles gotta go.
Yall might just be sleeping on the hornets
🙈🙈😢😢
Lamelo just cooked your fake all nba player
Why, WHY!?!…I will NEVER UNDERSTAND Why/How The FUCKING HORNETS are ALWAYS Damn Near DOG WALKING US. I'll say it again….THE FUCKING HORNETS. LOSE TO ANYBODY ELSE!! Stop this BULLSHIT WITH THE HORNETS! I tired of seeing this SHIT EVERY YEAR.
miller is gonna be all nba very soon… miller is a three level scorer and finisher the league has yet to fully realize — i bet miller gets 50 this year
i wish locked on hornets had a guy who wanted to talk ball only yet we have cliche dug and whiney walker doing their best skip bayliss reporting
trade hali and pascal and a 1st for GA and marjon imo — run it w GA and mathurin as the focus
Turnovers were horrible, little to no rebounding and Tyrese and Myles looked lost. They will lose far worse against the Knicks today unless coach can fix their problems.
OBI does not seem like the same player. either…Tyrese is beyond FRUSTRATING to watch..!!!!
The EAST stinks outside of 3 teams!!!..It's time to step up!
pacers are overratedddddd
Tony knows the sport, but he displays ownership bias in his commentary. The Pacers are not more talented than the Hornets, but it’s up to the Hornets to stand on business and prove me right. Tony mentioned, the Hornets own the Pacers over the last 4-5 games so they deserve more respect. I realize the Hornets have been terrible for a decade, but I do know what talent looks like; Ball’s health & Millers continued ascent will change perceptions this season.
I see now that my native New Yorker, my high flying homey of The CAGE basketball playground has been allocated to ride the pine. For the first time of being a fan of Obi, I realize why this has happened. He is just happy to be in the NBA. He does not have any drive to be great! As a Knick fan, he reminds of Hubert Davis, when he wore the Knicks uniform. Same persona: Just happy to be in the NBA. This is a disappointment for me, because I felt he would soar high with your point Gawd! But, as I saw him stand in the corner in a thibbadow offensive scheme with your team, as I saw him pass up shots and be passive, as I saw not aggressively rebounding the pill on either end of the floor last year, I was hoping he would test the free agency market or ask for a release. He didn't. Its over for Obi, he will never become the star that he was on the playgrounds of New York, or when he was in college. Its a sad day for me. I cheered him through his time under the coach voted the worst by NBA players 3 years in a row. But, now I have nothing to say in his defense. Stay happy, Obi
Vegas called and nba is rigged i swear fuck man. No way you tske players off to lose a game. What a dog shit coach and Tyrese is trash faded that mofo since last season dont even bother donating your money with that inconsistent fuck
