So Zion W is out injured again for NO?  He also is apparently over 300 lbs as well.  This dude is hurt like 95% of the time

Zion underwent surgery and apparently the Pelicans weren’t even aware of it until camp. He is going to miss some time. I just heard some talk show praising how great he looked a couple days ago. I guess they weren’t aware he was 300 lb. This kid is going to eat his way out of the NBA. There’s already is concern about the relationship between Zion and the Pels.

How come our starting SG doesn’t play and our #11 draft pick SG still can’t sniff a single minute. Meanwhile Pacers #14 pick SG actually starts and we still have a Martin twin getting 25mins.

Our coach doesn’t have a clue. Melo was balling and was only on the floor for 28 min. Rookie Duarte saw 32 min for the Pacers. 

 

[WOW!!]

Yeah Lamelo is going to take this league by storm... A new Superstar in Charlotte is here..

Was flipping around between app st, Braves, and Hornets…caught the last 5 minutes

Hayward looked a bit rusty, telling we went to him in crunch time…needs to make his fouls shots

i think rozier gets the ball there if’s he’s playing…need him back ASAP…melo making those 3s kept us in the game

we got hosed on that foul call late

i think plumlee gonna help us…pj sure came thru

great to win!

His stats were good, but he didn't really pass the eye test. Our worst lineups all night included Martin, Oubre and Plumlee, none of which who were good. Ish Smith was phenomenal though, was surprised to see him play so well as I had no expectations for him. 

Smith is a guy we need big time after losing Graham 

[Captain Morgan]

Melo with 31, Gordon 27.  Oubre with 35 minutes and 14 but shot poorly.  PJ was 1 for 7.  Rozier did not play, dealing with an ankle.

Looked ragged about you'd expect a young team in their first game, but a win to start the season is great.

And I agree with those that think Melo is a star like we've never seen in a Hornets uniform before.

Just happy that there’s no more Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo out there on the floor.

Marvin Bagley and was a healthy scratch last night. We need to go get him.

road game at Cleveland tonight at 7.   One of the worst in the league last year.  they drafted C Mobley last year at #3.  Should be a win.   

[MillionDollarCam]

Terry is back… let’s get it!

If last game is any indication, the bench will consist of Ish Smith, Cody Martin, Kelly Oubre, Jalen McDaniels, and P.J. Washington.

Cavs going with…

No Darius Garland for the Cavs tonight so Rubio will start, their bench consists of Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro and Kevin Love. I suspect one of Denzel Valentine or Dylan Windler will fill in behind Rubio and Sexton.

That was a dumb foul by Ball
