Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Rubio again has been miserable to watch.
 
I'm a big fan of Merrell.
 
I got back from Easter services and I was surprised the game started at 1 pm. I thought it was 5 pm.

At least it's close and I get to watch the last quarter.

We don't seem to play as well as we did last game. I see E. Mobley and Allen got some playing time.

D Green is playing well again.

Lopez is soooo bad.
 
These refs are terrible

Just like the players
 
Last game of the year, a meaningless loss that gave our bench some needed experience.

i knew the second the Hornets starting hitting 3s we'd lose. Our guards did a poor job of getting good looks down the stretch.
 
Takeaways from the game:
- Green should get playoff minutes
- Rubio is cooked offensively, but hopefully he can contribute in other ways.
- Merrill will be useful in the Windler role next year.
- Diakite continues to show occasional flashes.
- Robin Lopez should enjoy his retirement.

That’s about it.
 
It would have been nice to get to 52 wins, but there were still some encouraging signs. Dean Wade was 3-4 from deep and his release looked good. Diakite looked like he belongs in an NBA game. And for those looking for a volume 3-point shooter, Merrill has a quick release and isn't afraid to shoot. While the SG position is a bit crowded right now, it would not surprise me to see him get some minutes in the rotation next year.
 
Wade, Green, and Cedi working on their 3s hopefully gives us another dimension and carries over.
