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.

Very true.  We are 4-20, they are 10-19 from 3.  If that's anywhere close to even we are ahead.

I was told not to worry about 3pt shooting despite not having any legit shooters outside of Trae.

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 think we were defending well, but we had a offensive struggle, no basket on 10 shots, they got the rebound, run and score, that is how they got hot, we have defended some of this shots well but they can’t miss, 50% from 3pt, teams sometimes get hot when you keep missing.

Forget 3s, we can't make open middy either. We just struggling.

For a team that just gave up a ton of 1st rd picks for DJM and are near the tax after reupping the "core", this is a bad look.. We look horrible.. Wtf. Is Charlotte this good?

We really havent looked that great all season as a team tbh..Especially offensively..

We should improve, but Trae and DJM need to stop talking about a Championship.. Please...Not with this roster..

Honestly, we are doing a good job of contesting some of these shots but damn, they ain't missing shit

We gonna ride with the Holidays all season long. We just got a little taste of the suffering to come, courtesy of Nate.

Our defense has been more the issue in this game. 100 points before 3rd quarter is over. Not good.

Everything seems a step slow and lack of communication.

Good wake up call game. It’s all good folks ! The sky ain’t falling.

Sure, lose by 20 to the team missing it’s three best players. Nothing to worry about......

JH is a waste of space...

Richards might be more Baby Bam than our Baby Bam.

[JTB]

First 2 games went so well. They need some adversity early. I knew this team would truly challenge our hawks.

[JayBirdHawk]

The good news - we'll get to see AJ.

OO is going to struggle vs bigger 5s. He’d be a lot more impactful if he guarded 4s.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

A whopping 45 points for Charlotte that quarter

Im ready to see us play a real Playoff team.. We may struggle vs Pistons too. They always give us trouble..

This game is about the defense or lack thereof:

He knows that. I am not sure why he's saying otherwise. OO hasn't been our issue today but he's in his feels about the last game

In all fairness, a lot of that shit was contested. Charlotte just got blinders on, they aren't seeing our defenders.

We got bullied in the paint. I wonder how many of these points were paint pts.
