“That was a terribly coached team.”

That wasn’t a flaming tweet or the opening salvo of Monday’s sports-talk radio chatter in Charlotte. It was Hornets coach Steve Clifford’s self-appraisal after a 21-point collapse at home Sunday against the Indiana Pacers at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Rather it was how his team wasted this advantage – with numb-skull play after numb-skull play, particularly during a late span of the third quarter.

The word he chose? “Disorganized.”
