A win would blunder us downward in the draft, and cost us a future superstar. This is the most important game of the season. Is it on national TV?

we're told Scoot tweaked something in the Rising Stars game. Add to list of reasons why fans hate All-Star weekend.

Scoot still out? There's no reason to watch these games...

We better fucking lose this game or our team is completely aimless.

the Hornets shot poorly in Oakland last night. (and the refs let the Warriors cheat, only 11 FT's for Hornets)

I watched that game and maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but it sure seemed like the Hornets were settling for a ton of outside shots…..ain’t gonna get rewarded with FTs if you do that all night.

Whyachi said:

it seemed like a classic Coach Clifford effort. Everyone shoot 3's, and figure the other stuff out later. I simply figured some bad calls by refs must have sent Charlotte down a grumpy path, because their players would never lash out in anger, over something as simple as an opponent shooting a basketball.

If both Jerami and Ant play in this game and we win then we are fucking stupid. What is the experience for Ant and Jerami worth at this point??? Not a motherfucking thing. What is moving up in the lottery worth... a helluva lot more than nothing even if this draft is weak.

We better fucking lose this game or our team is completely aimless. I will not melt down in this forum if we win this but I'll silently be enraged.

With Scoot and Sharpe out, I am having trouble getting excited for the games. I don't mind tanking but those two are our future and I want to see them playing and getting better. All I got to hope for is that banton can somehow be somebody and maybe Rupert will play. Friday was one of the only times I turned a game off early.
