Hornets vs Hawks 11/1

[Proudiddy]

Home opener...   Still sucking early. 

[Toolbox]

Hornets gotta do better than this.. The defense is just straight up bad.

[Wundrbread33]

At this point I'd rather anyone but Kemba take the last shot.

[TheRed]

Hairston with 23 minutes, and another atrocious shooting percentage.

Meanwhile, Frank rides the bench.

Clifford better not last the season if this poo continues.

Another tough loss. It was a lot of fun being in the arena though!

Anyone who was there have thoughts on the halftime show? Hilarious.

I agree on Clifford and Frank needing minutes.  And while I agree that Pj's shooting has been atrocious thus far, to his credit, he is most likely playing the best defense of anyone on the team. 

I just really am surprised with how bad his shooting has been though because he never seemed like a volume shooter to me through college, he seemed very efficient...  But again, Idk how much I can put on him versus trying to get his before he randomly gets taken out again thanks to Cliff's no rhyme or reason rotations.  Not absolving PJ of what he's done thus far, but I think everything with this team is very cyclical,and to be honest, shot selection and shooting overall is worse than I thought it would be. 

But seriously, I know what talent and ability looks like, and this team has enough that they should not be 0-3 right now.  Clifford got a pass the first season because Al played out of his mind, but his weaknesses have shown up again and again.  Furthermore, for him to be a "defensive-minded" coach, I just can't understand how his teams consistently blow their assignments and leave shooters wide open...   It is insane.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think PJ is our only problem obviously.

I don't know if there is a disconnect between Clifford, and Cho, but we didn't draft Kaminsky with the experience he brings to the table to just let him rot on the sideline. That is horseshit to put it mildly.

On another note, a problem that has plagued us for a long time now with Clifford is still happening though, a clear inability to close games.

Lamb is so much better than PJ

Offensively he looks like it, but PJ has done well on the other end of the floor.

PJ has been terrible in every aspect these three games. Still don't understand why he is getting minutes over Lamb

I will admit that I haven't seen all 48 minutes of each game, but IMO PJ has played well defensively from what I have seen. Right now though, we need offense, so I agree that Lamb should be getting those minutes. 

Perhaps Lamb is still getting his wind back?
