Captain Morgan

he got hops

Kelly gets 39 off the bench

158 points scored. I think the Hornets just scored more points than any other team this season..

blow out. Hornets just set a new record with 143 points, still 5 mins to go. Kelly is going wild again in the 4th.

and Bouknight back in tonight, first quarter minutes. When we're fully healthy we may not see him as much, but he's getting valuable time. Finally.

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 34m INJURY UPDATE: @hornets forward Gordon Hayward has been placed in the NBA's Health & Safety Protocols and will be downgraded to OUT for tonight's game at IND The Crown Club @CrownClubCLT · 21h Hornets win 56% of games when Gordon is in and 30% when he’s out.

visiting the Pacers tonight at 7. Hopefully we'll find someone who can hit from outside. Gordon is questionable.

Bugs come back, Terry with a great steal on an inbounds pass. Melo finally hits a 3, first in the last 2 games. We're looking better but we've got to guard the shooters better. We're trying to play inside against bigger guys and doing a better job of boxing out and getting arms in passing lanes, but we're leaving shooters open on a hot night for the Raptors. But we're back in the game

Toronto keeps it up in the second, and have an 18 pt lead with 4 mins to go in the first half. still shooting 62% from the floor and now same for 3. However, Bouknight has played 10 minutes and has 13 points. and we are 25% from 3....our shooting slump continues

also Bouknight has minutes in the first quarter. Now, missing 3 players, he'll probably see more.

second Hornet player ejected in as many games. Raptors shooting 64% from the floor and 70% from 3...lol. They lead 39-27 while holding for the last shot of the quarter

I thought it was going to be one of the worst in NBA history, but boy howdy are there some bad shooting nights throughout the annals of recent history. The Nuggets had a game in 2012 where they attempted 22 3-point attempts and made exactly zero. The Rockets had a game last season where they took 45 3-point attempts to match the Hornets four makes. The Celtics had a 4-for-42 3-point shooting performance a few weeks ago, and that’s only one of two 3-point shooting performances that the Celtics have had this season that were worse that what the Hornets put out there Sunday night. The Hornets will try to bounce back against a good but not great Raptors team that’s been all over the place this season. The Raptors play at one of the slowest paces in the league and they don’t turn the ball over much, which limits the Hornets transition opportunities. However, they don’t shoot well, so the Hornets will want to try to push off rebounds as much as possible to get into their transition offense. The Raptors play an iso-heavy style of basketball and don’t shoot the ball well on spot-ups, so the Hornets should be able to contain their offense if they do an okay job staying in front of ball handlers. more at the link

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · Jan 24 INJURY REPORT: @hornets at TOR 1/25 Hayward (R Foot Discomfort) is questionable McDaniels (L Ankle Sprain) is out Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 14m INJURY UPDATE: @hornets forward Gordon Hayward has been downgraded to OUT tonight in Toronto

Saints have no head coach, no quarterback, and they are 74 million over the cap. they'll get under this year, but almost all the fat was trimmed last year when they were 40 or 50 mill over. They'll have to push all they can into the future, which had to happen eventually. Bad day to be a Saints fan. but for us...

pretty interesting

yep, we needed his veteran experience.

every team has a night like that, glad we got it our of our system. Might have helped if Melo had stopped trying to shoot himself out of a slump.

the most incredible weekend in football in history. stuff you tell your children about

and Kelly is out with a flagrant 2. It was a tough foul but I don't believe there was any intent, and Miles coming in behind and hitting the guy made it look worse, but there is no malice in this game...just unfortunate

turns out we just had the bad end of the court to start. Now we're going the other way and starting to hit some shots. Long way to go, but we're moving that way

7 dunks in the first half, Hornets average 5.7 per game. so that's good. Hornets are 0-17 from 3. down by 11 at the half

HOW DO YOU BOUKNIGHT

and Miles gets the first HOW DO YOU DO of the game after a great pass from Terry

Mason finally figured out his offensive game...dunk behind the head. If he sees where he's shooting he'll miss. Works for me.

sucks this game is on tonight against NFL football and not tomorrow night. I'll flip back and forth during commercials
