Comments from the Other Side - Hornets 1/16/17

Another fun win for the Celtics.  IT is definitely making his case to be an All Star again.  The Celtics still need to improve their defense but they are getting that swagger back again.  Good to have the tie breaker with this team in case they make a surge at the end and tie the Celtics like they did last season.  One of my favorite posts was seeing LeBron getting flattened by Draymond Green.  Always nice to insert a bit of levity in a game thread.  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours? 



I want a win. I want at least 53 points from Kemba. Not asking for too much

Nah that's to little 60 from Kemba and 5 made threes from MKG

Confidence is a powerful weapon in the nba and ours is at an all time low. Desperation is also a powerful motivator and our desperation is at an all time high. I think it carries us to a win tonight.

I really want to see Kemba to destroy IT.

Wow, i was checking boxscore and i was thinking "woaw, C's did not score a single bucket yet?! Hornets's D is back on track...". Then i realized the game had not started yet...

This is really a nice matchup, Kemba vs IT And Marvin vs Age

It's time for Marvin to go

It's not a game until MKG shoots an airball. Only took 90 seconds tonight.

Its not a game until MKG gets stripped going up for a layup. It only took 120 seconds tonight.

Four wide open threes given up in 4 minutes Boston 3/4 on those.

Refs definitely not giving Kemba the calls tonight

Thomas is grabbing jersey and pushing EVERY time Kemba goes around a screen

Kemba making a final All Star push

Maybe after all the HB2 mess MJ is trying to get Charlotte to move out of Charlotte by tanking

If we give up 3-4 3pt shots each for IT, Jae, Al, Avery Then we lose this game

Frank's obligatory "oh, I made one, now i’ll shoot 5 more" three

Sessions is garbage

Good Offensive quarter Let me know if you have seen this before. Close game due to offensive outburst , but blown out late because offensive productivity is not sustainable with this team. No defense!!!!

That looked like a foul on Frank on that screen. I think we got a nice call on that play.

Damn! that ball movement from the Cs is impressive.

Team needs to do whatever it takes to land hayward in offseason

Jae Crowder needs to chill tf out MKG fragile

Smart missed that three But that was a gorgeous rub by Boston Wish we would run plays like that

Lol when the hornets fear Amir Johnson more than Al Horford Smdh…

Celtics playing dirty and getting away with it

Usually when Frank make his first 3 it either means he's going to have a good night or go 3-15.

How is that different than if he misses his first 3?

If he misses his first 3 he loses a bit of confidence and only shoot 10 shots so he'll be 2-10. There's 3 versions of Frank. There's Good Frank. There's 2-10 Frank. Then there's 3-15 Frank.

Somebody go shake Batum and let him know that his 2 day vacation is over. 0-for-3 with 3 turnovers.

Why would you think Batum posting Bradley is a great matchup? Yeah, Batum has size, but Bradley is a stud defender.

Of all the players to keep leaving open, how is it that IT is the guy who has been wide open at least 3 times in the last few minutes?

Solid first half from the Hornets. Olynic is... Well. Let's see if we can play four quarters tonight. Hopefully Batum wakes up at half.

such a hard fall, worried Crowder.

In other news, Draymond just closelined Lebron. LOL.
I thought MKG was about to shoot his 3rd airball, but he caught the corner of the rim. I shot 3 airballs in a game once. I was on some medicine that wrecked my coordination. So basically, me + medicine = MKG's jumper.

Jae Crowder fouls everytime he goes for a rebound

That was neither a foul against horford Nor was he in the act of shooting

Nic's gonna start to hide. His body language is quite horrible, he is pretty much aware of his mistakes and bad shooting, just can't seem to be able to turn it on tonight.

Some of that is the Bradley factor.

Refs letting Boston hold and push

This team's defense is flat out embarrassing The blatant holds by Boston aren’t helping

Our rebound, assist and FG% numbers are not helping either

I love how Clifford is throwing his arm's up Like that isn’t the defense he wants them to play. Here’s a tip, coach, if your team plays defense the exact same way every possession, it’s the coaching, not the players, that is the problem.

At least the Hornets aren't getting blown out like the Cavs (yet?)

3 pointers are raining for them. Again.

Frank can't score over Marcus Smart lol.

The talent gap isnt big. But idk is it heart, desire to win?

For the first time in a long time this team has no heart and it is showing.

IT hoisting up shots everywhere

when you give a shooter like Thomas that many open looks, then he starts making the hard ones too

Marcus Smart is a solid defender and all, but when Frank, a 7 footer backs down a 6'4 guard then proceeds to get his **** packed that is utterly pathetic. No one even came over to help because they know Frank is going to do nothing.

Terrible. Broken play leads to an IT 3. Awful.

Kemba's forcing now, frustrated by IT's hot shooting.

Were honestly just an average team. Stuck in purgatory. Treadmill. No mans land. Worst feeling for a basketball fan ever.

I have not seen every team this season by a long shot, but I get the feeling Isaiah Thomas is the fastest player in the league.

The Warriors scored 78 in the first half against the Cavaliers. Amazing.

Refs letting Boston hold all game It’s pathetic.

The Celtics have taken 39 threes The fact that they’ve only made 15 of them is the only reason the Hornets are in this game

I wish we could make our 3s like literally every team does against us

I love Zeller, but if hes the third best player on your team those other two better be Lebron and Durant or you have a big a** problem.

Well Thomas won the pg battle. Kids crazy in 4th quarters

IT definitely looks like an all-star.

Another loss with many more to come for this grease fire known as the charlotte hornets

nice to see Kemba Walker lose his case for an All-Star bid tonight

We should be sellers at the deadline if anyone is willing to buy what we are offering. It’s also time for a new coach, GM, and college scouts. As a small market team with a non multi billionaire owner, we can’t afford to miss on top 10 draft picks; which we have in Bizmak, MKG, Vonleh, and Frank. Tear it down to build it up right!!!!!

That's gotta be ball game, Kemba misses a 3, Thomas makes a stupid lucky 3 on the other end. Cs up 10.

Thomas straight cooked Kemba in the 4th. Damn.

LOL at everyone posting all kinds of stats recently trying to show that IT isn't having a fantastic year. Get out of here with that stuff. Dude is an assassin.

Boston was given ten seconds to advance the ball When everyone else gets 8

Incredible we actually had our chances but Kemba and Batum did not hit shots in the clutch and Thomas did

Are you **** kidding me IT? Are you serious? Yeah, he deserves to start on the ASG.

When you see the Celtics effort on those loose balls, I mean we want it, but they WANT it and that's the problem.

I got IT in my top 3 PGS. #2 actually, I wouldn't put any other PG other than Westbrook above him right now

You're getting carried away. Westbrook, CP3, Curry, in some order, still top 3.
