Captain Morgan

Miles playing with his hair on fire. Lead has been around 17 or 18 all half, and doing this without Melo. No idea how this team lost to Orlando.

now what Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 53s INJURY UPDATE: @hornets @ NYK 1/17 LaMelo Ball (non-COVID illness) is QUESTIONABLE

There are 11 teams with over 40 mill in cap space next year, and two more that will likely be there by the time of the draft through cuts and restructures. That's 13 teams that could pay for one of our guys under contract (like a Robby) and all those teams have even more the following years if they wanted to take a guy on a rookie contract that will be getting paid soon (DJ, Brian Burns, etc). The Jets have two top 10 picks and 50 mill in cap space....we could work a deal. Giants are currently over the cap, so they are less likely to trade for a player. Eagles have only 13 mill, but they could be interested in a player still on a rookie contract (Brian, DJ etc.) There are some interesting scenarios that will play out, especially after the combine.

Oubre is out tomorrow...meanwhile, Charlotte Hornets @hornets · 42m OFFICIAL: We have recalled guard James Bouknight, center Kai Jones and forward JT Thor following last night’s @greensboroswarm game. Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 35m In one game vs. CCG during their assignment w/ the @greensboroswarm , each player totaled the following: Bouknight: 24 pts (7-19 FG), 4 rebs, 3 stl in 34 mins Jones: 17 pts (6-13 FG, 3-6 3pt), 5 rebs, 4 blk in 29 mins Thor: 19 pts (9-11 FG), 12 rebs, 2 blk in 33 mins PLAY JAMES BOUKNIGHT!!!!!

Best case scenario is we trade back to get at least a second, and take OL in the first (and maybe 2nd as well). We also spend a lot on a new FA OL, and let the rookies take their lumps next year. With the line gelling, Darnold and Rhule should lead us to a top 3 pick in the 23 draft and our new coach has a much better class of QBs to choose from. Gonna suck for us next year. There are multiple teams that have two first rounders this year that have terrible OLs. I would be surprised to the Giants take Linderbaum with one of their picks. The vast majority of the big boards I've seen have Linderbaum as a first round grade and then don't have another center in their top 100. And we don't want a 4th round rookie starting anywhere on the line. I'd love the NC State guy, most are saying he is indeed a LT, but a stud guard if not.

18 points in 4th quarter. Missing Oubre hurt last night, we needed an outside shooter. I agree, our first round pick should be getting more minutes, especially when we are missing people. It's really puzzling. Heads up, we play Knicks Monday at 1 pm. (MLK Day)

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 34s Hornets unsurprisingly looking very disinterested to start this game

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 4h Over his last 10 games, Rozier has scored 20+ points in seven contests and is averaging 22.6 ppg and 5.0 rpg. He has made 42 3-pointers (.476 3pt%) during the 10-game stretch, which ranks second in the NBA over every player's last 10 games.

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 58m INJURY UPDATE: @hornets center Kai Jones has cleared the NBA’s Health & Safety Protocols and is available for tonight’s game

yeah, let's see how far our current winning streak can go. Tonight's game is one of those where we are likely to Eric going nuts over some slams and alley-Oubres

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 2m Hornets win! They snap a 16 game losing streak to the 76ers and the 76ers seven game win streak. Hayward: 30pts, 7asts, 3stls Rozier: 22pts Bridges: 21pts, 8rebs

Final: 109 to 98....Hornets win and break the longest losing streak by one team to another in the NBA.....Hornets also have the longest winning streak against another NBA team ....Detroit. I think they said 14 games.

time out with 61 secs to go and Hornets up by 12....we got this one.

MILES

Philly can't hit from 3 in this game. Seth has a few, but guard him, and we should win. They are scoring more by driving but if we can nail a few more 3s we'll get the win and break an incredible losing streak. We're playing better as a team, gotta keep it up.

Gordon is 9-9 in the first. Philly playing like crap and we're doing a lot of things right. Also, Emid is incredible, but two early fouls let the Hornets control the game more and he showed a little frustration at his teammates in the first half. Hornets lead 64-50 at the half. wow

man the 6ers are playing and shooting like crap. We beat Bucks back to back and beat Philly tonight and the league gonna know.

yep, he's the only guy we got over 50% shooting so far. He's 6-6. Let's hope it's one of those nights when he's in the zone.

bout time Gordon got hot and had a game...

lol with 3 secs to play, Hornets up 3 and with the ball, we throw it in to Miles and Portis hits him in the face. Miles hits both free throws, Hornets wins 2 straight against the defending champs and 6 of the last 8, and Portis needs an elbow to the face from someone but we win and as Eric just said, Hornets are hotter than a pepper sprout. One of two Johnny Cash references he uses.

Melo gets 2 and a how do you do from Eric and Hornets lead by 2 with 7.9 to play.

wow, Hornets challenge a foul they should have won, but don't get it. Game tied, Hornets ball with 35 secs to pla

there was an something of an incident with Portis and and Gordon, when we had the ball and maybe Gordon gave him a forearm or something, I didn't see it, but a whistle blew and Portis got in Gordon's face a little bit. Gordon smiled, stood his ground and was non-confrontional but the next trip down the court Portis raked Gordon across the face drawing blood. He had to go into the locker room, but was able to play later. Now in the last two minutes, Terry drove and Portis blocked the shot but hit Terry in the face, and refs are looking at it for a flagrant. We need an enforcer.

Eric cracks me up. Dell: Plum grabs the rebound and puts it in off the glass. Eric: Plum-diddley-dee.
