Flipped to the game. Hornets down 18 and look like trash. No offensive movement, no defensive effort. Miller pounded the air out of the ball and with 4 seconds or so left on the shot clock, he didn't just throw up a contested 3, but one with two defenders in his face.

Charles Lee really needs to have the Hornets practice the basics. Team can't set screens, can't make layups, can't dribble, can't defend, and can't rebound. But boy, can they jack up bad 3s.

This Hornets team might be the worst team in basketball and that includes college.

Selfish basketball.

So much for that brief glimmer of hope earlier in the season.

This team is fuging worse than the team we had last year. You might as well kept Clifford. Can’t shoot, can’t rebound, can’t pass, can’t guard the 3…they put out more turnovers than Sara Lee. Every night I see a bunch of fuging amateurs. Charlotte doesn’t deserve pro teams  at all. What a goddamn embarrassment. Maybe they should move both franchises to Raleigh, there seems to be a winning stigma in that area. Charlotte pro teams = suck to mediocre at best. Same goddamn poo.. year in and year out. I just want to pull for a goddamn winner, somebody that’s worth a fug. Sorry for the rant, but between these two teams, it just takes a toll.

Yep. Lee could have at least put in some ball movement to get open 3s since he wants to be a 3pt shooting team. But no, he just lets them do whatever they want except for the rare out of time out play.

I was excited to see what the team looked like on Monday with the team being back to full strength. Like most of the season, the team is just unwatchable. Every possession is the same. There’s a pick somewhere around the top of the key and then missed 3 or turnover. I turned the game off halfway through the 2nd quarter. 

What I don’t understand is Lee coaches so hard during every offensive possession for the entire game. He’s constantly coaching during the possession. Why? Do the players not know what they’re doing? Do they not practice? And for what? Every possession is the same sloppy offense every game. Whatever he’s coaching isn’t working. 
 

This team is frustrating. I feel like they have too much talent to be this bad.
