Preseason games

At least the Hornets seem to have hit on a draft pick this year. Miller looks like a vet

Was cool to see a win in person. LaMelo was on point.

Still yet to see Miller do anything a No. 2 overall pick should do. He's not bad, but he just doesn't have any "wow" skill and he doesn't do anything that makes you say "this guy deserved to be drafted second".

Staying out of trouble might be enough

For anyone interested in watching tonight's game, the Hornets will be broadcasting it according to Directv

Except for the first offensive possession, this looks like a normal Clifford coached team.

Oh nice blocked in my area on YouTube TV. Is that an NBA thing or a Hornets thing???

[jayboogieman]

Set rotations, set minutes, not good on defense, terrible on offense with only the odd good play. Yep, this is a Steve Clifford coached team.

Probably local blackout rules

Miller looks nice

The hornets should change the team name to the Butterfingers. These guys can't hold on to the ball

[jayboogieman]

LaMelo is being really careless with the ball and Richards has regressed.

I know it's preseason, but the Hornets look terrible. There's very little effort and that will carry over into the regular season. I guess for anyone that watches the regular season all they have to look forward to is Williams' and Miller's development and seeing if Ball can actually play a whole season cause this will not be a playoff team. Heck, I doubt they even break 40 wins.

To be fair there's only been one 40-plus win season in the last nine years, that 43-39 outlier a couple seasons ago. But Boston's stacked and this game is about getting out healthy. Then we can talk 31-51.

The way these guys look I'm wondering if they'll even hit 30 wins. Boston might be stacked, but they also look like they care and are taking the game seriously. The Hornets though, I can't tell if it's just not caring or just them showing how bad they are.
