Time to see what were made of. Some real adversity. People need to step up.

Charlotte has D'd up well, but we're missing open shots too...... We played a very poor 2nd quarter defensively.

Vooch going back to being Vooch tonight

12 point game.  I hope they take shootaround seriously.  That's their only weakness currently.

Wow we look bad in the first half, hope we can get it together

I think we need games like this to keep us from thinking that we have arrive! We still have work to do! 

Question....."how long will it take the Hornets to grow tired of Howard? It took Atlanta the first part of the season!

The passing hasn't been bad, but guys aren't catching passes cleanly and I think it's totally affecting their jumpers. If we can get better with that, then I think we can climb back into this game.

I think we're ok

I agree.... We're losing, but watching the game I can see why we're losing. We haven't played a terrible game, but you have to give Charlotte's defense credit. They're not giving up easy looks.

Estamos bien si solo falta meter los tiros abiertos que hemos tenido

Agreed, also we are rushing our shots and not being allowed to set up! Somebody is going to have to heat it up on the offensive side, and everybody is going to have to press on "D"

I'd like to see our athlete's do a little more of moving without the basketball. Put themselves in a position to get the pass for an easy bucket.

Yeah.  There's been a couple mistakes on defense that won't happen again.  Shots will fall soon.
