If the players are just making their own decisions without direction or any semblance of a plan then what is our head coach doing?

And ironically one of the league's best young players statistically in the paint we traded away for crumbs a few years ago. POVERTY!

Realistically as much fun as it has been to see this team bombard teams from 3 it just isn't sustainable for us as a winning formula aside from catching better teams off guard from time to time and it isn't going to translate to a playoff run and certainly not a championship when we are so ineffective in the paint and have no go to answer in that area when games are on the line. The strategy of this franchise entering the offseason should be getting better in the paint. Drill that into everyone's head inside the building. All this rabble about not disrupting chemistry is weak minded. What chemistry? This team is 10th in the standings heading into April. In a historically weakened Eastern conference.

I still say the Hornets should weigh all their options at head coach after the season. Too much potential on this roster.

Yeah we had multiple chances to tie up the game or take the lead. We have made some significant strides as a team shooting threes but this group absolutely needs to get more aggressive in the paint in crunch time if they want to be a playoff team. For all the praise of the group and Charles Lee being talked up as coach of the year that's just pitiful and unacceptable. Also adding even more insult to the loss. Apparently Embid is 21-1 against the Hornets.

The refs just are what they are and will be a hurdle to overcome for quite some time as we continue to be a franchise trying to shed the bottom dweller label. This group has won a lot of games by building significant leads. They're going to have to adapt to being more disciplined in winning close games if they want to win a playoff series. Such is the next step in the evolution of their development.

Hornets can't get out of their own way at the end here unfortunately.

They're all big games. Just get into the playoffs and anything can happen.

Why do people still line up to simp for this guy? Did our game against the 49ers where he had 3 picks and a Bryce Youngesque stat line not make it clear enough for you that he is a game manager at absolute best?

Very nice punctuation to send the Knicks and their fans home with.

Hornets way too hyperfocused on running the clock. Game ain't over.

LaMelo looked like he was struggling after going down hard a few plays earlier.

Hornets pouring it on right now. Beautiful.
