Jett may not have scored alot but he is in the game due to his defence. I'm glad for him. Impressing Mose 

I think he did nothing special actually. A couple of good rebound close outs. He didn't made a 3. But if you just want to say something good about him....

The refs were pretty terrible too. To go with the overall game level

Which equates to good defending.. we just held the hornets to 84 points ... If you watched properly he was very good on D today. Big improvements. He was not kept in for how good he shot it was he.

I think we simply see the game differently, son

Fourth quarter made up for other three!

Couldn’t get the game. Looks like a gritty win. Especially love this comment on the ESPN Recap:

”Key stat: Orlando's bench outscored Charlotte's 53-15.”

Ugly, but a win none the less. 
injuries are piling up. We really need to get healthy.

Thank god Mose has the Wagner brothers to lean on, because his offensive schemes are straight out of high school and not a good one. Five guys standing on the 3 point line is re tarted

Yeah, he needs an offensive coordinator, ASAP. We look like the Rex Ryan's Jets. Elite defensive squad that's very limited on the offensive end.

This was ugly. Eghhh…

But at least we got the W. Shows the growth of this team. This was a guaranteed L in past years! We found a way to win. 

What i absolutely didn’t like was Bitadze in this game. He was really frustrated at little things and imo it hurt the team. Confidence was going down as it was for TDS, AB and others and Bitadze out there with bad energy …

 

Although i agree that our offense could need an OC help, i don’t know if it applies to this game. We created open looks, Charlotte packed the paint. Really limited options if you don’t make open shots. I mean our best shooters couldn’t make a shot. TDS, KCP, Jett and AB has been capable of hitting open threes. Suggs was really missed here. 

That said, this team is built on players making on court decisions and plays. We clearly lack capable players that are suited to do this after all those injuries.
