Swarm dropped their season opener 128-117.

Leaders:

JT Thor - 34 points (64% FG, 57% 3P), 12 rebounds, 2 assists

LiAngelo Ball - 22 points (69% FG, 57% 3P), 1 rebound, 1 assist

Arnoldas Kulboka - 20 points (58% FG, 57% 3P), 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block

Not gonna happen tonight, back to backs are always difficult.

They’re trying. It’d be nice to be within 5 before the end of the period.

Not sure if they have it in them tonight.

I see what JB’s game-plan is… get smashed in the first quarter and lull them to sleep the rest of the game.

Yeah… that was some poo.

Well we’ve been here before…

Mason Plumlee killing us again… color me shocked.

Going to be a tough one on a back to back against a pretty decent Cavs team.

The Cavs won’t have Love or Okoro tonight, hopefully our bench can take advantage.

Last home game before we head out west, home crowd needs to get us over the hump tonight.

With seven teams making the playoffs from each conference every team at this point is still in contention.

Bottom line is one shitty team is going to make it… it might be us.

Could be wrong here but I think off of pure winning percentage, the Southeast division is currently the toughest division in basketball.

This is true. I think the Hornets can pull it off though. The depth is much better everywhere except at center. That said, I wouldn't mind Richards getting some burn to see if he can be that defensive presence they need.

Agreed, if there’s one thing we need Plumlee to do it’s rebound. Nurkic out-rebounded him 14-6 in one less minute of play.

If he can’t do that then give Richards a chance.

Good response… one things for sure, this team can score. When they want to play defense they are really tough team to beat.

A winnable game tomorrow against Cleveland but it’ll be tough on a back to back.

I don’t think Greensboro starts play until next week… wouldn’t be surprised to see Thor and Carey head there once the games start.

Man… love that energy from Kelly Oubre.

Kelly has been a nice surprise this year.

Wonder what happened to Gerald Henderson… he used to have Wes’ job.

Should be up by at least six but can’t make damn free throws.

Free throws are killing us…

Is it gonna take a Plumlee injury for Richards to get any minutes? He had 3 blocks in Orlando

Honestly I’m not opposed to Richards getting minutes now. Plumlee has been that bad.

JB is pissed cause the guys ain’t rebounding for poo.

It would for the Hornets, but I don't think the Pacers would go for it. They would be weakening themselves while strengthening the Hornets while both teams are gunning for a playoff spot.

At the very least they should have picked up Richaun Holmes instead of trading for Plumlee.

Assuming they could have gotten Holmes for $12M a year they could have traded Carey for nothing, traded their second round pick which became JT Thor for nothing, and elected not to trade for Plumlee… there’s your $12M.

This team desperately needs a rim protecting center.

A first and P.J. Washington for Turner would be ideal.

Simons is the same dude that torched us in summer league.

So glad to have Terry back, dude is a baller.
