Are you a joke? You know he didn't play the last 30 games or the playoffs?

Hartenstein? DiVincenzo? KAT and BRidges are here? Lots of things?
Every shot miss seems like the basketball gods telling NY they suck. With the effort and focus they are playing, I can’t blame them.
BRidges throws away so many passes. He needs to be off the floor till he figures out what the fuck is wrong with him
Wow, did Anunoby use all his talent on the 40pt game? This is the second game in a row where he sucks.

Donte was here last year.
iHart was a big part of our defense, but culture and the will to win - I think it was Randle. I think we are missing what he brought.

HE looks exhausted. You can see it in his legs. He can't keep his balance or jump at all. He would be dunking some of these.
Meanwhile these refs are also pathetic.

You can think that. That's nice. He literally wasn't playing last year when the team built most of his character.
17 turnovers
This team is azz. I’d rather see the younsters
How can this team look so integrated and on a flow one game, and then more disorganized than a pickup game for the next few? I don’t get this team.

SO - OG, Josh, Jalen - all here still - and they look like trash and they don't seem to care.
Look - we can criticize Randle, but I think he brought a winners mentality here- despite the flaws.
Can we see Dadiet? Just for a little energy?
KAT bricks two open 3's that could have given us the lead

I’d rather see the whole bench.
I don’t get Thibs in this: his starting lineup is playing like trash, getting more turnovers than shots in. A message needs to be sent, a change of pace is necessary, and he keeps his whole bench glued.

Haha this is the closest, crappiest game I’ve seen in a while. I can’t even get excited when they tie the game.
Are the Hornets getting all the offensive rebounds? My god, this team is a mess…
Might be a flagrant on the landing area there
I think its pretty clear iHart is the difference. We always gave up 3pters. I mean we been having this conversation since the year we played the Hawks in the playoffs. The difference this year is we also give up drives. iHart would make players alter their shots and he covered a lot of mistakes. We have no one who can do that now. Mitch can't stay healthy enough for him to be counted. I would not say Randle has a winners mentality. I would say we miss his playmaking. I know I say this a lot but that was the reason why I did not want to go all in on Bridges. He has never been a playmaker. It was obvious once we got to the playoffs teams could key in on Brunson because we lacked other playmakers. This is basic roster contruction that was ignored. All Thibs talks about is drive and kick. Well you need to drive for the kick to happen and none of the players outside of Brunson can do that consistantly.
