The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
What happened
The week opened with a 110-103 win over Washington, and fans marveled at a 3-1 start without Kon or Coby. Then came Detroit: an 89-97 loss with Naz parked on the bench, which one fan called "psychological torture" and pinned squarely on Lee. Two nights later Washington returned the favor, 79-95, a night summed up as "equally embarrassing." A 104-109 loss to Philadelphia brought calls to "trade him before his value tanks." Charlotte sits at 3-4, a record that looked like progress five days ago.

u/Mister_AA▲ 35frustration
“Seeing the guy you desperately need in the game just smiling on the bench, fully kitted, with absolutely no explanation on why he isn't playing definitely felt like some sort of psychological torture.”

“Some of these calls were absolutely horrendous.”
