Steve Clifford on Hornets' Struggles: 'Our Problem Is That We're Undertalented'

[THE 101]

we can't have both i don't even think they played 10 games together including preseason

And why is that? Because LeMelo is injury prone and can't be relied on.

They should cash out now.

 

[Ohene]

wait a sec

how the hell is Ntilikina in the league

 

[Morose Polymath]

says the guy that rolls out ish smith and frank ntilikina at the same time

Ay spare my nig Ish.

 

[Gritsngravy]

Silver gonna wave his magic wand and turn this team into the Sonics.

Aye this could happen maybe

Is the hornets really supported like that?

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Man can you imagine being a player on that team and your coach is telling everyone you’re not talented enough to win at this level? Even if you try really hard it won’t be enough

Tell a football player that

The city would get behind the team if they would just put out a decent product, especially with the fukkery with the Panthers right now. Apathy sets in with the fan base because they either make the obvious wrong move, or some how Silver and the league screws us over. Shyt, we’re so down bad, we’d probably throw them a parade if they won a first round series. But every town hall meeting, Mitch Kupchak likes to reiterate that this is a small market team and doesn’t have the same resources that the Knicks, Lakers and other big market teams as if Milwaukee and Memphis doesn’t have the same issues

Miller is their cornerstone now.

They should look at what they can get back for LaMelo.

I think they need to see with Miller shouldering some of the load whether that helps LaMelo with their health issues.

He’s right. The league is full of losing players who don’t know how to play, don’t know basic coverages (and refuse to learn them) and just want to shoot every time they touch the ball. Instead of running an OOB play, they’d rather break the set to go do a double step back.

It’s especially egregious in Charlotte because they have a team of AAU babies. They all team up when they’re kids and dominate through high school, only to get in college and the NBA and realize they can’t play.

it's only gonna get worse because the overall crop of talent is not good for the next couple of years.

This is the second time he’s said some real shyt like this. I’d go as far to say there are 20+ ppg scorers that aren’t very good in this league.

Knowing what a good shot really is so important. Players care so much about highlight plays and seeing guys make tough contested shots, they think those are the good shots.

They should move the team then. Cuz these dudes suck year in and year out

shyt like this is why its impossible to actually dislike Cliff.

Orlando been worse for longer and that team ain't going anywhere the teams most likely to move in the NBA are on top of their conference right now too(OKC/MIN).

Both stadiums in Charlotte got new additions because they're making more money than ever despite the w/l columns.

 

[Rekkapryde]

lamelo finally gets downhill now and acknowledges defense exists

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Honestly

Everyone is tradeable except Miller, Williams, and Melo.

I like Ish, but he’s a backup backup foreal

They have players that are starting that are clearly backups right now and nobody to even back them up especially at Center and PG.

Hayward done missed like 5 years and people trying to get rid of Melo? Im sure teams will take him so maybe….
