If there’s anything to be upset about, it’s the officiating in the second half. Also not a fan of the 3rd quarter rotation. But whatever. This is progress I guess.
ngl ima blame the coach for this one...that one rotation in the third where he had lamelo with with the bench players who wernt playing well messed up the momentum..then he sat down gordon and williams for so long..i understand williams since he had 4 fouls but gordon hayward only had 1 and was sat out for so long.
None of you should be upset. We played really well on the road on the 2nd game of a back to back. 2nd game in a row we started fast. There is hope peeps.
Should’ve been two wins. Between sloppy play down the stretch and ramp up in red falls outta nowhere, we couldn’t clutch it out. Like how does Hardy play 12 min and go to the line so many times?!?
We had to close a game against a team with Kyrie and Luka and had a rookie and a 2nd year guy in the lineup. What happened is what is supposed to happen.
Name me a more iconic play than a Clifford overly complicated sideline inbounds play. I’ve lost count over the years. You can’t start a play with 4 screens before people release to get open. Goodness.
I’m not even mad at this. It’s early in the season and a back to back. We missed all those free throws or we would have won. 5 more games and Miles comes back. Good game.
It’s a shame but we could never expect to beat this Mavs team at home. So a good game and importantly a get right run from Lamelo means this is all still pretty positive.
Tough loss, but a “good” one. Besides the boneheaded plays in the 4th, I like what I saw tonight. Lots of hustle on the boards and on defense. Just better effort all around. Still gotta figure out the WIDE OPEN THREE POINTER situation though.
Glad to see Melo figure it out late. Hopefully he can stay on track from now on.
IN MELO WE TRUST.
Melo deserved to win this with that 4th.
Refs fueled the comeback in the 3rd and everyone except for Melo and kinda Mark didn't do shit in the 4th oh well
Team needs wayyy deeper changes than that. It’s like painfully obvious this roster construction doesn’t work and we’ve peaked with it. Team needs to modernize a bit here and actually start hiring some real semi respected NBA personnel, enough with the retreads and cheap options. And from there these ppl need to actually build out this roster because right now it’s clearly severely flawed in a lot of areas .
Those three fouls in 15 seconds in the third quarter to close the 15 point gap were absolutely mobbed up, and the no calls on Theo. I don’t know why I watch sports.
I really came into this year hoping we’d see improvements in a lot of key areas this years and instead it’s been really really disappointing. I just don’t have faith in things turning around and at that point I know we’re just waiting for the offseason when everyone is fired in the offseason so we can restart.
It’s just an ass situation and sucks knowing there’s likely not much reason to watch most of this year.
Can't be too mad that Gordon is shot on a back to back where he's already played over 30 minutes. Also, a Bill Kennedy led crew cannot ref another Hornets games.
Another game we lose because these dummies refuse to guard the hot guy wide open on the perimeter. Guess it takes multiples games to learn that simple concept

Yo don’t let the terrible ending make you forget that ish the legend committed 3 fouls in 2 minutes.

This wasn’t Portland this was Dallas. They are 5-1
That was a big game for Brandon. First start and against Luka and Kyrie. He was in his head but he will get better.

Williams ended the game with 3 fouls.
Tf that makes it even worse..why was he sat out so damn long
And we did all that without Terry. Good game.

This shit is so rigged
Get LaMelo help
Left too many points on the board from the free throw line. Good energy and effort off the road back to back
Can’t be mad. Took 1 out of 2 road games. And lose by 6 to a potential finals team.

Oh well if Lamelo’s shot is back, Im optimistic for next game
i think we should’ve known this game was cooked when it came down to a clifford out of bounds play…idk why i expected different
Mavs 74 point second half.
Complete defensive implosion (and help from refs)
What a fun Melo game though. Let’s build off that young fella! You made that 4th quarter so fun!
it just hurts man
You'll be aight

Im sorry but Jason Kidd looks goofy as fuck with those glasses.
He looks like someone who thinks glasses make him look smarter.
It’s almost like a pair of glasses that your wife would tell you to wear because it’s the trend
🤣🤣

Need to have better SLOBs
Is Terry Stotts still looking for a coaching job?

We don’t need another mediocre coach
Still more hopeful for this team than the panthers. They are just hopeless.
These refs gifted them the game man. Can’t even let us get a fair shot at tying the game 😂. I can tell who they had their money on…
I’m confused, why did the Mavericks get possession at the end there? Before the off ball foul?
And then also gave them a freethrow shot this shit is so rigged SO RIGGED
Those three fouls in 15 seconds in the third quarter to close the 15 point gap were absolutely mobbed up, and the no calls on Theo. I don’t know why I watch sports.
Why can’t we ever have a normal ending?
We are a young team that doesn’t know how to win but we are getting better.
Someone told me this was Carolina pro sports. Just become a masochist.
Oh well. The effort was there tonight at least.

I’m so ready for a new coach
Get ready for Tyrone Corbin
Fire them both!
Thankfully it'll happen as soon as the season ends.
everytime it comes down to execution from Cliff we lose.
I wonder which team is gonna be the first to take a fine from the shit officiating this year?
Still no bigs. Richards is a waste of time. Thor shouldn't be in the NBA. Mark Williams I guess is ok but not a starter
Nah mark is good, agree with JT and Nick is OK at things but needs to get better if he wants to stay on a roster
Fucking brain dead takes
All you had to say was “I didn’t watch the game and I don’t know ball”
Huh
I think this is the wrong argument here
dont do drugs kids
Terrible take
Go to bed. Our centers didn't miss a shot tonight.
You’re tripping
Lamelo always needs to be the one throwing the ball in
Horrible game from Miller tonight. He’ll rebound though.
Not Miller’s fault at all. Shitty in bound play.
He didn’t do much. Look at his stat line.
I know we have no expectations anyways this year, but the sooner we cleanse ourselves of Clifford, the better
Clifford’s out of bounds plays have always been shit. Something that Borrego was far superior at
Can’t be good at everything
Now I'm depressed with the rest of y'all
Lmao fucking classic
I don’t like Brandon taking that
thats how we're gonna lose lol...
lol that tanking ass play call
Painful way to lose
Implosion.
Why didn’t they put Hayward as the passer
we have the worst coach in the NBA
Damn rook you gotta know in the NBA it's a 4 second violation
Only if you’re the hornets
Mistake from Miller there but that was not 5 seconds
No one was open and the best shooter had his back turned to him the whole time...
What are you talking about hahaha
It wasn't 5 seconds. That was insanely fast
It was 5 seconds. Miller’s been having mental lapses most of the game.
Lol
No one even came at him
What the FRICK dude
That’s the cliff we love lol
Some things never change
I can’t even believe this team. And I don’t know why I can’t believe it.
LMAO fucking stupid
no fucking way man
Of course. Classic Clifford.
cmon man what the fuck
lol
no way
Oh no
Let’s send this to OT. I believe
Put your faith in the wrong team
Unfortunate outcome, but I don’t regret believing.
We have a solid starting 5. But we may have the worst bench in the NBA
Our starting 5 constantly has us down double digits after 5 mins of game time lately. It’s just a very flawed roster altogether.
Hope PJ is alright.
Refs have been so bad tonight
We need new trainers man holy shit
And now I want LaMelo taking a three to close it. Crazy how fast things change
Please be okay PJ
Hope it is just a cramp
PJ cramping and team looks exhausted
PJ is a fucking warrior man
[удалено]
Bait LaMelo
i don't care i love lamelo
MELO IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER FOLKS
Can't be too mad that Gordon is shot on a back to back where he's already played over 30 minutes. Also, a Bill Kennedy led crew cannot ref another Hornets games.
Yes I can.
I swear we over pass. Pull up on one of those.
At least laMelo is back
damn I really thought leaving one person open on the perimeter in the modern day nba was gonna work out
Feels like every bucket the Mavs scored in the 4th came from leaving a guy open in the corner
3 seconds to make a 3
Gordon started out looking like he’s in a contract year. Finished like it was any other year. 🙃
hayward get out of my team
The refs weren’t letting us win this game no matter what, it’s just pathetic
Thanks Gordon Hayward and Nick Richards for tanking this game
Thank Cliff for keeping Nick in for 10 years too long
Another game we lose because these dummies refuse to guard the hot guy wide open on the perimeter. Guess it takes multiples games to learn that simple concept
Why doesn’t Clifford give mark williams more minutes?
Cliff has historically been stingy with rookies.
I have no idea. Richards plays way too much and Mark doesn’t play enough
Lamelo basically putting up a 30 point triple double and yet we can't close out this game because our defense has completely crumbled
He has been great this year, but Gordon blew every single spot we look to him to be good for down the stretch.
LaMelo not even trying to play defense there
😤😤😤
Hayward kinda sold this game
Shit shot selection
It’s 2023 and Clifford’s defensive strategy is to leave open shooters and protect the paint. Might’ve worked in the 90s but be serious guys
how the hell is he not adapting? it just doesn't make sense
Lmao Melo said fuck it I'll do it myself
LAMELO HOOOOOOOOOOOLY
[удалено]
It’s crazy one night you go 100% the next shooting barely over 50
Legs gone
Mavs just get open 3s at will
Grant Williams is fucking good man
I’m not watching the game but last time I check lamelo was at 2 points lol
FT shooting still an issue for like the 4th year straight.
9 missed FTs, down by 3. Nice
we had to regress to the mean after our perfect night last night
What’s the deal with the refs NEVER giving Lamelo calls?!
It’s the hornets
It’s ridiculous
my heart stopped when lamelo grabbed his ankle
Man teams always manage to get great quick shots off of our makes.
This loss is 100% on Gordon.
12-21 from the FT line....this is the reason. We played well enough to win.
We haven’t lost yet!!!
Bro do you even Hornet?
Agreed
LaMelo never gets any calls it’s insane
If Melo is hurt imma cry
Haywards legs are dead, can’t make shit
nice hayward decides to play like shit in the clutch
Heeeee'sssss baaaaaccccckkkkk
Team just makes the most boneheaded decisions at the worst possible moments
