Sucks catching and elbow but if you have played the game, strays are part of it.

Never in a million years is that an offensive foul, wtf are the refs looking at if they can’t get this right on a review?

Poole is tragic out there, just an utter disaster on both offense and defense. There's no silver lining.

Dallas reminds of the Sixers the last few years, good record but not really a threat in the playoffs. No team with championship hopes should be losing to us. Really hope don’t see much of Poole in Q4.

I think he is taking too many contested 3s.

GD Poole sucks.

No problem to lose but why Deni is not guarding Luka????

Deni tossing the game with his FTs.

There’s some terrible crews in the NBA these days.

4 missed free throws and five turnovers in a close game down the stretch.

He played his part.

Ugly game all around, will exempt Deni, though tough stretch at end for him. The Jordan Poole situation is getting uncomfortable. He has to be the worst player in the league getting major minutes.

Good tank loss. Hornets won again.

Poole (1-12, 3 pts), Bilal (1-10, 4 pts), and Kispert (2-11, 5 pts) combine for 5-34 for 12 points in 79 minutes is the story of the game.

We know you don't like Deni though. Always trying to dog him, never anything nice to say.

Agree he had to many TOs and has to shoot freebies better, but interesting you want to highlight that when three of his mates go 5-34 in 79 minutes.

Deni scored 25 with a TS of 64% even with the missed fts. The turnovers are to be expected with his usage going up so much.

Deni is not a perfect player and probably not going to be the next Lebron James or Luka but when you score 11/17 from the field and you have friends that scored 4/33 combined i feel sorry for you.. and i dont even talk about his defence . how many time Luka scored when he guarded him and how many times on others?? he's a winner in a dna loser team.. hope for him it will change.

you want to go there? he had 11/17 pg -65% highest in the starting lineup. Kuzma had 4 TO and scored 9/19-47%. 2nd best +/- in the starting lineup ..continue? yes.. he played his part.

It was good that it was a close game despite Bilal and Poole's poor shooting from the field.

Jordan Poole :nonono:

It's really hard to watch at this point. Please, sit him. It's for his own good.

Love Poole. Perfect tank commander. Don’t change a thing. Fingers crossed he plays better in a couple of years so we can extract a second rounder for him.
