Captain Morgan

lol with 3 secs to play, Hornets up 3 and with the ball, we throw it in to Miles and Portis hits him in the face. Miles hits both free throws, Hornets wins 2 straight against the defending champs and 6 of the last 8, and Portis needs an elbow to the face from someone but we win and as Eric just said, Hornets are hotter than a pepper sprout. One of two Johnny Cash references he uses.

Melo gets 2 and a how do you do from Eric and Hornets lead by 2 with 7.9 to play.

wow, Hornets challenge a foul they should have won, but don't get it. Game tied, Hornets ball with 35 secs to pla

there was an something of an incident with Portis and and Gordon, when we had the ball and maybe Gordon gave him a forearm or something, I didn't see it, but a whistle blew and Portis got in Gordon's face a little bit. Gordon smiled, stood his ground and was non-confrontional but the next trip down the court Portis raked Gordon across the face drawing blood. He had to go into the locker room, but was able to play later. Now in the last two minutes, Terry drove and Portis blocked the shot but hit Terry in the face, and refs are looking at it for a flagrant. We need an enforcer.

Eric cracks me up. Dell: Plum grabs the rebound and puts it in off the glass. Eric: Plum-diddley-dee.

Gordon with 8 and Rosie with 11 in the first quarter, Hornets lead 28-21

Melo and now Miles pissed about not getting calls when they drive. Was a little worried about both but the big lead we have seems to keep the tempers down.

well crap Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 5m INJURY UPDATE: @hornets G/F Kelly Oubre has entered the NBA's Health and Safety Protocols and will be downgraded to OUT for tonight's game vs. MIL

tonight we play the Bucks again....7 pm. We know we can beat them, but it's hard to beat a team in two straight games. All will depend on how well we shoot...per usual.

fug em.

Jets are playing Buffalo, however, if they somehow find a way to win, we'll pick 5th. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 3m The Panthers can now pick either 5th or 6th in the 2022 NFL draft with the Giants loss. Panthers currently pick 6th, while Jets pick 5th. Panthers would have to lose and Jets would have to win for the Panthers to get that 5th pick. And their SOC would have to remain lower.

that game is on Youtube, or at least it was. Amazing ending. Mick is going to be spending more time with his band. It's name is "Break Wind and Fire." lol

I've never been able to fully replicate the ones I got at a local joint before it was sold by the old asian lady who owned it. not too hard. I use an airfryer for the wings, and while they're cooking, I melt a stick and a half of butter in a pan, add more salt than you'd think, and I also add some celery salt, but not totally necessary, granulated garlic or real minced garlic. The granulated helps get the flavor all over the wing, but if you add minced garlic to the butter while it's melting, it will release it's flavor just fine. Then just a generous helping of oregano (you can use italian seasonings if you don't have oregano) and put the wings in a large bowl. Pour the butter over the wings, and toss to fully coat. Now sprinkle generously with parmesan. If you add the parm to the butter while cooking, it can melt into a big chewy mess.

the end of an ample era.

garlic parm?

last one of the season, and the last one I will start. Got to shake things up, so next season hopefully one of you guys will pick up the torch and maybe we'll see more wins since I took over. Also, time for me to get back to healthier eating, so today, while there will be beer and scotch, I will have salmon with olives and capers. what's on your menu?

Miles ices the game ....see you Monday night.

our young team didn't play very smart in the last few minutes, hope we can hold on

love this from Eric "alley-ooooooobreee!"

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 39m Tonight's crowd of 19,139 marks @hornets 6th sellout of the season in 16 home games including selling out 3 of the last 4 games

one of those nights where long rebounds just keep coming to us, but not complaining. Been some really bad shots by both teams, but Hornets should win this game up 10 with 6:30 to play. da Freak kept our centers in foul trouble after the first two minutes and got his points, but our backcourt of Melo and Terry have been the difference maker.

Injury report CHA: Vernon Carey Jr.: out (health protocols) MIL: Grayson Allen: out (health protocols), Pat Connaughton: out (health protocols), Donte DiVincenzo: out (ankle), George Hill: out (health and safety protocols), Jrue Holiday: out (health protocols), Brook Lopez: out (back). The first matchup between the Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks ended in thrilling fashion, with the Bucks collecting a 127-125 win thanks to a buzzer-beating coast-to-coast layup from Giannis Antetokounmpo immediately following game-tying triple from LaMelo Ball. Let’s hope the Bugs end up on the right side of this one. Antetokounmpo is fourth in the NBA in scoring at 28 points per game, seventh in rebounds per game at 11.4, and blocks a team-leading 1.4 shots per night while dishing 6.0 assists with noticeably-improved passing vision from his MVP seasons. There are so many great players in the league right now, but Antetokounmpo is putting up yet another season that places him among the top handful. Hopefully, a blowout of the Pistons, some time at home and having a squad that’s nearly at 100 percent health/availability for the first time in months will play to their advantage with Milwaukee in the second game of a back-to-back. https://www.atthehive.com/2022/1/8/22873835/preview-charlotte-hornets-begin-two-game-series-at-spectrum-center-with-milwaukee-bucks?utm_campaign=atthehive&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

This. Also, will Reddick, Gilmore, Jackson and all other free agents want to sign onto our uncertainty? We may end up with the most cap space in the league after next season.

Bucks coming to town tonight at 7.
