Hornets Game Thread

[WOW!!]

We are not losing enough.. Damn!! I like that the young guys are developing fast but we're losing draft positioning.. lol

Devonte with 40 in the win vs the Nets.  Damn.  Guy is killing it.

Just keeps getting better and better. What an amazing find in the 2nd round. If we can keep drafting like this then I couldn’t care less about tanking, maybe we can build a team the right way without needing to rely on high pick superstars like Philly, Boston, etc.

Graham's development has been absurd. I never saw this coming at this clip. 

PJ has been phenomenal and will only get better

Miles has been up and down. He has shown real flashes this year. 

Monk is boom or bust depending on the game. IF we can ever get him to be consistent he can be a real good player. 

We are missing a young Center or another scoring two way SG while we are waiting for Monk to decide whether he is the player we were hoping when we drafted him. 

Overall, Mitch has done a great job and deserves some credit.

Rozier has been awful tonight

monk should never see the court

Entire team was awful offensively but for the first time in a long time we won a defensive battle! We would never have won a game like this last year or even earlier this year. Rozier hit a big shot late, Graham hit a big shot late and so did Miles. They all weren't hitting anything all game but came in big in the clutch. That is great sign for this team.

Winning the bad games is definitely a sign of our young guys learning how to win.

Tough one last night...got to shoot the ball better

rozier got hot at the end, just came up one bucket short

funny nugget:
during the halftime show of the 76ers and Heat - SVP was covering other games and showed highlights of the Hornets/Cavs.. he pointed out that we were down by about +10 at the time, but said "..because its the Hornets - ill bet that it comes down to a last second shot.."

tip of the cap, SVP

I think Rozier has been a success so far.  Sure he is expensive but he has been pretty good.

No big splash moves needed.  We have the right GM who is about to get some room to work with

devonte has to know when his 3 is off and not hurt the team by missing 10 or more attempts in a game. you don't want him to be shy about shooting them, but we can't live and die on his shot every night. 6-25 the last 2 games. we've got to get him more comfortable scoring off the drive or at least getting to the line to round out his game. right now he's helpless inside the 3 point line in terms of his fg%. if he's going to touch the ball like a superstar in terms of usage, that field goal percentage has to stay up. 33.8% in the month of december.

Watching Cleveland game

Bridges is just not improving defensively...coach just took him out

What s shot by Graham!  Come on Hornets 

[Vagrant]

one of the most impressive games of the year from graham for me. way bigger than any of his gaudy shooting nights. he played within himself and took really good shots. that's the kind of growth you want to see. got to the line 7 times. 11 assists and recognized that rozier was hot and kept feeding him instead of trying to match him. just really unselfish and mature. huge bucket to end the game on a look that was really clean because they didn't suspect he was the shooter. real leadership and he was under control all night.

Awesome game so far tonight vs Pacers...Hornets look good

BPretty ugly last night at Utah 

we just don’t have the players...yet

Agreed but the future appears bright IMO.  Kup has done well in his short time here.

After this season the only bad contract is Batum.  Assuming you like Cody.
