Hornets vs Knicks Game thread.

These guys are playing stupid right now and they better figure it out.  This coming week is tough and after that they go out west.  If they don't want to be playing from behind all season now is the time to get their heads out of their asses.

I agree you can't force feed, but with that much time left there needs to be at least a pass or too. We're not going to win these close games if we make it very easy for the D to telegraph what's going to happen i.e Kemba just dribble and create.

Al's play style does not at all suit a late game possession. It takes him time to feel out the defense and make his move.

horrible play design. Lance was open, Neal was open in the corner. Hell Al had a better shot. Kemba needs to learn that other guys on this team are capable of hitting big shots too.This isin't college or High school where he was the man the whole time.

Exactly. Just because you had a run in the ncaa a few years ago doesn't mean you have to take every single last second shot. I'd be fine with a kick to him for three but drive and create by kemba at the end of games is STUPID

[Omega Atrocity]

We'll be fine you guys. Appreciate how we actually looked relatively good offensively for most of the second half. See you guys Tuesday.

So Stephenson jacking up a three is your play? He wasn't even open the guy was in position to recover. Neals guy wasn't even helping off

We got a good look, that is what any team would do. Didn't go in. That is life

[Jakob]

Wait, are you guys actually worried? Come on now.. SMH.

Everybody is talking about bad play to Kemba or missed opportunities in the 4th. Let's look at free throw shooting. AL missed 4 straight and there were a bunch of missed free throws tonight. We make those it's not a close game.

Williams lost the game. How did Lance lose it? You're just looking to blame him. Blame no passing Kemba

No, that was what happened. Lance turned it over twice on key possessions and the Knicks took both turnovers and scored/took the lead.

I'm not looking to blame him, that's what happened. He picked a bad time to have bad plays...

And you want to blame Kemba? Lol, how many turnovers did he have in the 4th? And he has hit clutch shots time and time again... how is it his fault we lost?

Cliff looked pissed in short post game interview.

Why does nba.com say we lost by 3, didnt we only lose by 2?

[teeray]

It is official. The Kemba haters are going to annoy me more than the Hairston lovers

[KendrickPanther]

We have to find a way to get Gerald off the court. 0-5 shooting and 2 rebounds doesn't cut it. 

[BIGH2001]

There are a number of reasons why we lost, stop trying to blame a particular one.  Maybe if we start showing up in the first quarter or the first half we can win more games.  They need to figure it out and quit playing like lazy assholes.

Melo hit a FT to put them up 3
