  1. https://www.atthehive.com/2022/2/21/22944045/charlotte-hornets-news-lamelo-ball-puts-forth-strong-all-star-weekend-debut?utm_campaign=atthehive&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter LaMelo Ball had himself a nice All Star Weekend. He didn’t win any awards or blow everyone away with some crazy standout performance, but belonged. That’s saying something when you’re the fourth youngest All Star in NBA history. I think it’s easy for Hornets to forget how special a start to a career we’re witnessing. Ball was named an All Star as an alternate to replace the injured Kevin Durant. Only Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Magic Johnson appeared in the game at a younger age. He’s averaging 20.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game. The only players to do that in their age 20 seasons are Ball, Doncic, and James. Both of the other two made the All Star teams in their second season and haven’t stopped since. Ball will try to follow in that path. Ball capped off the weekend in the big boy game—the 2022 NBA All Star game. He finished third on his team in scoring with 18 points and wowed the crowd and broadcast with some flashy passing.
  2. being the last guy in, he'll get in the game last, but it should be fun watching him dish to guys who can hit shots. Hope he makes a splash.
  3. obviously has some maturity issues, but as noted above...he's 21. Still most 21 year old don't get ejected from a game their watching the same season as they get sent to the lockerroom in a game they are playing in. Fans have been ejected in the past. A couple of NC State former players got thrown out of the arena during a game a few years back. Chris Corchiani was one of them.
  4. according to this ranking. Chargers got #1 https://www.complex.com/sports/all-32-nfl-twitter-accounts-ranked-2022/chargers?utm_campaign=sportstw&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social
  5. Trez hits one, game tied and heat have 1.5 to win before a second ot
  6. Trez has a chance to make Charlotte love him a lot
  7. second straight game to overtime. they started hitting again late in the 4th, and we couldn't hit anything unless Melo passed to Trez inside.
  8. Melo and Trez know how to play the game together.
  9. he's been complaining about no calls a lot this season, don't think he's earned it yet in their eyes, and it worries me. a big all star game could get him the respect he deserves.
  10. sometimes changing ends of the court can get a guy out of his zone. we'll see
  11. Hornets lead by 7 at the half, defense got better and Heat's offense cooled down. A win before the break would do this team good.
  12. oh boy, Kelly O is on tonight, 3 straight within 60 seconds, here we go.
  13. Hornets challenged and won, Melo gets two, but with 4 secs left Heat get a basket and lead by 7
  14. Miles has 13 in the first quarter....Hornets got down but clawed back to within 5 at the half if the refs get this call right.
  15. Injury report for tomorrow night is same. All 3 out till after the all star break.
  16. Verge says she believes our options, in preferred order, are 1. Deshaun Watson 2. Jimmy G + LT @ 6 3. Kenny Pickett 4. FA QB (Mariota, ETC) + LT @ 6 She also says they want Darnold out of the building as soon as possible. Jimmy G has a no trade clause in his contract, but it expires in March, interestingly enough
  17. Plumlee is 2 assists away from a triple double....would be the 3rd Hornet this year to do it Hornets up 77-71 in 3rd
  18. wow, Beverly getting the refs for a free tech, after a controversial foul also went against the Hornets, but bugs lead by 6 at the half. wild game so far.
  19. Thor got 3 mins and we were +4 with him in. In his pic he looks skinny, but he looks like he has some meat on those bones. It would be good if he could develop this year.
  20. Thor in early with a block and an assist in 2 minutes
  21. both teams are running basket to basket, maybe their bigs will get tired. Bugs down 19-7.
  22. Rod Boone@rodboone James Borrego said JT Thor "found a way to impact this game and has my full attention right now."
