Game Thread GAME# 55: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 8, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

Aminu lost the ball so badly it fell into a teammates hands.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Saw Marvin play as a 17y/o at Bremerton HS. Interesting to me that he never really reached the potential people were talking about, but he's had an over-10-year career.

 

[B-Roy]

Why do we have so many players that can't finish in the lane?

CJ
Aminu
Nurk
Collins
Biggie
...

 

[craigehlo]

None of our bum wings can shoot. Put in Rodney Hood. Oh wait...

 

[KingSpeed]

Mo Harkless has been traded back to the Blazers!

 

[TBpup]

On that last Charlotte shot, on the rebound, not one Hornet was withing 20' of the basket. They don't look very interested.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Okay. Moe came to play. Good.

Famously didn't even start at UNC. But he did get drafted ahead of CP and Deron and Marty.

Thoughts of that draft give me heartburn. Let's just not go there

 

[illmatic99]

This broadcast crew just isn't invested in this team's success when it comes to personnel moves.

Compare Mike and Mike and how juked they used to get during the draft or the deadline. And on shows like Courtside. Night and day with Lamar and Kevin

 

[craigehlo]

I thought Dwight Howard was rejuvenated? Looks awful.

 

[Scalma]

I love how Turner already has a wrap around his calf and he hasn't even checked in. Why not just sit his ass

 

[B-Roy]

Hey, let's fullscreen Neil's face over the game broadcast!

 

[ripcityboy]

We'll win a championship..... as long as we play Charlotte.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Man, Neil make a fiiiine Bible salesman.

 

[KingSpeed]

Vonleh was a cancer!

 

[Lukee]

Waiting for that chant

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk is playing really well

 

[Jade Falcon]

Wow, Howard is definitely not the same player he was just 5 years ago. Father Time waits for no man.

Sometimes a little too 'juked'. Every training camp they made the #12-15 guys on the roster sound like they were going to be 1st-Team all NBA and with Barrett, Blake was the best PG in the league. I like enthusiasm but it was SO unrealistic it got old very quickly.

 

[Titan]

You would think the hornets would be excited that Kemba is an all-star. They seem kinda somber tonight.

 

[BrianFromWA]

On pace for 137-34. Probably not going to end up like that.

At least you could tell they gave a shit about the team. This group, (Calabro in particular) sound like they could give two shits.

They were hoping to get a TPE of their own.

Can't we find a middle ground? I've heard opposing broadcast crews sound more endearing when discussing our guys.

 

[craigehlo]

Our 3 point defense is pretty sad.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Slick move by ZCo!

 

[BrianFromWA]

I didn't know Zach had that in the arsenal.

 

[Scalma]

Dirk Collins

 

[B-Roy]

Zach is white LaMarcus Aldridge....before he became just a midrange shooter.

 

[Mr. Robot]

nice move Collins

Nurk is killin' it
