It feels like we have never beaten the Heat.  I’m sure it’s happened but feels that way

The Heat were a shot away from the NBA Finals in 2022 and made the NBA Finals in 2023.

Let's keep some perspective.  That franchise is elite.

(That said, I really like this young Hornets roster; if we can do something with our two huge expiring contracts things could look great for the future)

Also, hate him or like him but Bridges has become NEXT LEVEL on the basketball court.  With Bridges, LaMelo, Miller, PJ, and Mark...this is a team to look out for, IMO.

It seems to me we have a lot more talent then done teams that are well above 500. We're seriously underachieving even with Ball out. 

That seems to be the issue here, no matter what talent we have, we always find ways to lose more than we win. Time for Clifford to go, he just cannot get wins out of this team consistently.

We have two guys averaging over 20 pts a game, Lamelo was close to 30.

Then we have a center that can go 15 and 15

A rookie that can easily get 18 a night 

Then Hayward and Washington are capable of scoring 20 points on any given night. Once this team gets fully healthy there is no excuse not to be over 500

The "excuses" will come, this team has shown me NOTHING that tells me they will do anything.  Did you see the complete blow out last night?  Yea, WORST LOSS in FRANCHISE HISTORY.   The 76ers are not some historically great team.  This franchise will continue to sink until the owners get rid of Clifford.  I am out on him.

Clifford is just like Frank. Old and the game has past his old coaching ways.

 

Even in the huddle the players look disinterested in what he is preaching.

 

I would love to see what this team could do in Mike Dantoni fast pace system. We need to play faster with the athletes we have on this roster.

Agree. I used to be a traditionalist. I wanted hard nosed, ball control, defensive teams. I changed though and have been waiting for years for my teams to get with the 21st Century.

So an old man replaced by an older man

Hornets vs Clippers at 10:30 tonight.

Kawhi is thankfully not playing.  But we will be playing once again without Melo.

Mark is listed as questionable so maybe there’s a chance?

And what’s really crappy is Miller is also listed as questionable.  Hopefully both will play and we can steal an away game.  They’re on a 2-game slide.

Oh and I forgot the best part…it’s on NBA TV so I can actually watch a Hornets game here in the DMV!  Let’s Go! 

 

The Charlotte Hornets have six players listed on their injury report: LaMelo Ball, Amari Bailey, Leaky Black, Brandon Miller, Frank Ntilikina, and Mark Williams. LaMelo Ball is out due to a right ankle sprain, Amari Bailey is out due to a G League two-way, Leaky Black is out due to a G League two-way, Brandon Miller is questionable with a right ankle sprain, Frank Ntilikina is out with a left tibia non-displaced fracture, and Mark Williams is doubtful with a lower back contusion.

Brandon Miller and Mark are both out.

Looks like we’re rolling with Miles, Terry, Gordon, Richards, McGowan, Cody Martin, and PJ.

Playing pretty well with 6mins left in the 1st quarter

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
