| 0:13.1 | Charlotte Hornets is split under the radar, haven't it? |
| 0:16.5 | When you're a bad team and everyone knows you were going to be bad and then you are bad, |
| 0:20.8 | it's like, you're inadequacies, you're a bad team and everyone knows you were going to be bad and then you are bad, |
