Nice score by Murray and defense on the other end.

Great help John 

My bet is cooked but the game is still winnable.

Can't disagree this game so far

[gurpilo]

Miami showed the NBA how to stop Trae and now teams are pressing more Trae and causing him problems.  Murray should help but he committed a lot of TO. Charlotte is feasting on the paint and using his physicality to take us out of the game.

Collins can't buy a 3...0-6

It's one of those games we can't buy a basket and they can't miss one once they got hot

This my fault y’all.  I bet on the Hawks -9.5.  They were doomed before tip off.  Please help me.

 

I even took a side $1 bet that they would win by 11+ points.

Combine that with that parlay bet on individual players, I'll take the blame too.

When you play bad D early  and let a team get hot, they play with confidence and it doesn't matter if you tighten up later.  They will continue to hit shots.  We learned this all last year.

I hate these early games... 

[NBASupes]

Charlotte every year always has one of these games against us where we can't buy a basket and they can't miss one

Losing to Hornets without Ball and Rozier is really really tough

Trae has 19 pts - 7 rebs and zero turnovers.  Charlotte pressing Trae isn't the problem in this game.

The difference in this game is that we simply can't make 3s . . . ( 4 - 20 right now ).

If we were just 7 - 20, this would be a 5 point game.   Maybe even less, seeing that Charlotte is getting points in transition off of our 3 point misses.

This is the NBA. Anyone can beat you any night.

Game not over yet.

Almost, but not over.

We still have a shot to get this under 10 points.
