    Well he's playing for Stotts now. He gives everyone the green light in any situation and doesn't punish them for undisciplined play.

    This. I'm getting tired of Stotts. There needs to be organization on who shoots what and when. Accuracy will improve with the right plays.

    CJ with a career high in shots that go 75% of the way down and then pop back out.

    Charlotte to San Antonio as a back to back to play a rested Spurs team? Who makes these dumbass schedules?

    One thing that bothers me about this team is kind of what you guys were just talking about. Players shooting stupid shots, or shots that are not in the flow of offense.

    I like what Aminu brings to the team, but not when he goes 1 on 5.

    unless this season is 100% completely about growth and finding out what players can or can't do. If that is the case, I'm fine with whatever.

    The higher the lottery pick, the better.

    Too bad that CJ three got wiped out by the illegal screen call. That pretty much sealed the game.

    Charlotte looks like a good, classy team with good fans. Props.

    Well, they got it back within 5, so that's commendable. But dammit, they need to clean up those turn overs and start making shots.

    Crabbe has really been on a tear. But it seemed like he was reluctant to shoot at the end, no?

    Portland up to #6 in the Lottery standings. One would think that a back-to-back @ San Antonio would only aid in that rank. Hate losing but have to find the Silver Lining.

    I wonder if the team will get double figure in wins before the all star break. ;)

    Just keep thinking about those sweet, sweet lottery balls. It's the only thing to soothe the pain of losing.

    This is the low of the season so far. Stotts didn't have his players ready to play a 2 pm Pacific Time game. I understand Batum playing on fire, but not the other Hornets.

    Gerald Henderson, too, was in his first game against his former team. But in 7 minutes, he shot 0-3 and had 2 turnovers and 1 rebound. Instead of having our best box score line, he had our worst. Vonleh's box score line was good enough, not great.

    Henderson literally pissed me off. Continuously getting picked off, not making the right reads on offense. Not even trying to get back on defense. Why is he playing on a night when Crabbe is on fire?

    His inability to stretch the floor means he is absolutely useless on this team. He's not gonna get the ball out of Dame/CJ's hands to hold it for 6 seconds before jacking a fadeaway 20' jumpshot. Should not play at all.

    Yes yes, i know, only 2 games in but Crabbe and Harkelss are better at everything .
