wonder if putting it somewhere on the west side of the Triangle, with easier access from the Triad would work. Would love to see it anywhere in NC.

should be a playoff game atmosphere tonight. "With four games left in the regular season, the Charlotte Hornets host the Denver Nuggets in a game that may decide whether it takes one win or two to advance to the playoffs. The Hornets are hanging on to a razor thin lead over the Indian Pacers and Washington Wizards for the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference. The seventh and eighth place teams only need one win to make the playoffs versus two wins for the ninth and tenth, so there’s a considerable amount, for which, to play. The Nuggets come into the Spectrum Center dealing with their own interesting play-in scenario. They are in 4th place in the West, one game back from the L.A. Clippers." https://www.atthehive.com/2021/5/11/22430876/preview-nuggets-and-hornets-vie-for-playoff-position-in-charlotte

We'll make the playoffs, but we'll have to do the play in mini tourney, and if we get healthy, we can move on. I read over the weekend some folks were saying the team they don't want to catch is the Hornets. We just have to get healthy. All teams deal with injuries, but we've been hit hard. If we get everyone back, we can make noise, but this team won't beat the "big 3" in our conference. We don't have the front court. Get some playoff experience, and head into the off season looking for a center. For the first time since the new Hornets came into existence, we have building blocks, and hope for a nice long run of being a contender. Enjoy the ride.

man I'm starting to get seriously concerned about Melo becoming permanently scarred by all these amazing passes to Bismack that get dropped and picked up by the other team

of course they hit a 65 footer at the end of the 1st. We need Miles back fast.

freakin PJ opens up 0-8, half of them at the rim. Melo needs to shoot more. I know he's been in a bit of a slump, but he hit his first shot (a 3) and he's playing against his brother, which I think will give him the boost to get his scoring back on track.

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 27m UPDATE: @hornets guard Malik Monk (R Ankle Soreness) has been added to the report as questionable for tonight's game vs. NOP

as long as there ain't no loco cinco after that...

however, the Ball brothers will both be playing. in case you didn't see this a few months ago, here's the first time Melo broke his brother's ankles.

didn't see that coming

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 32m Melo looks like he's favoring that right wrist...

we split with Orlando this year, and they beat us when we were healthy. Gonna need a much better performance tonight. Somehow, I don't see Melo have 2 sub-par games in a row.

It would be great if Verge was the one who tipped us off.

love the fact that we spoiled the Saints hopes for Horn and Marshall. That alone makes me give the draft an A+.

Frank Ragnow just signed his second contract yesterday, becoming the highest paid center ever. Cool moment at the PC. Right in the feels

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2021/05/bobby-mccain-to-visit-wft Bobby McCain is already lining up his suitors. After getting released by the Dolphins earlier today, the veteran safety is set to meet with Washington on Monday, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter (via Twitter). The 2015 fifth-round pick had become a staple of the Dolphins’ defense over the past six years, but he saw a drop off in play during the 2020 campaign.

Alaina Getzenberg @agetzenberg · 2m Washington formally announces the hiring of former Panthers scout Jeff Beathard.

Rhule doesn't seem to be scared off by these kind of issues, and Nixon is not the only one we drafted who has them. Looks like Rhule thinks his process is a good path to better decisions, and of course he talks to all these kids before drafting them. Let's hope for the best, for the players and the team.

Hornets storm back 15 down to 3 down in closing minutes of the first half behind Malik and PJ getting hot. No home cookin from the refs tonight. We have to find a way to slow them down and score from within the 3 point line. Will be really hard if we don't. Melo not having his best night, if he can turn it around, that would help.

defense has been ugly, and when we go into the paint, we get shut down quickly.

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 1h UPDATE: @hornets G Devonte’ Graham has been downgraded to out

oh man, that is perfect Hurney. Tepper spends 60 million bucks on The Process, and in the first year, Hurney is like "I don't know, I've got some ideas otherwise." Good luck, Marty. You'll need it.
