Will Bryan @Pantherstatsguy · 9m DJ Moore has passed 1,000 receiving yards for the 3rd straight season. Only Steve Smith and Greg Olsen have ever done that in Panthers history.

holy crap DJ

wonder who comes out as QB? Cam looked good.

wings turn out great in air fryers.

leftovers it is today, but good ones. Smoked a rib roast for Christmas, so I'll have a hunk of beef with collards and field peas with rice. Beer. What's on your menu?

a good look at how the rest of the schedule shapes up...and it's good. https://www.atthehive.com/2021/12/25/22853813/charlotte-hornets-schedule-have-positioned-themselves-well-for-the-rest-of-the-season?utm_campaign=atthehive&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter We’ve talked about the Charlotte Hornets schedule a few times in this space already, and we’re going to do it one more time now that we’ve hit the turning point. The Hornets just wrapped up their longest road trip of the season, a six game gauntlet meandering through the valleys and mountains of the Western Conference. They capped it off with a win in Denver over the reigning MVP and the Denver Nuggets. They got to ride those good times all the way home and are now in the middle of three days of rest in Charlotte. The respite must be nice. The Hornets sit 17-17 at this juncture. On the surface, that doesn’t inspire much reaction. It’s literally as mediocre as it gets. But the Hornets have done very well to get there. The Hornets have played 34 games now. Despite being at the tail end of a period where they only played one game in six days, there is still only one team in the NBA that has played more games—the Milwaukee Bucks. 22 of those 34 games have been away from the friendly confines of Spectrum Center. No other team in the league has played more than 20 road games. 12 of those 22 road games have been against the Western Conference, where the Hornets have struggled historically. On the other side of that, no team has played as few home games as the Hornets. With all that out of the way, the Hornets are positioned to make a post-Christmas run. They only have three road games left against the Western Conference. Those games are at the Timberwolves, Thunder, and Pelicans. None of those are west of the central time zone and none of those are particularly good basketball teams. The Hornets last 48 games favor a 29-19 home-road split and there will be plenty of days of rest scattered throughou It’s not only the travel schedule that favors the Hornets going forward. They face the fourth easiest schedule the rest of the way based on current win percentages. They have 11 games left against the bottom five teams in the league. more at the link

as Eric said, 2-4 is a lot better way to end a road trip than 1-5.

over 18 mill for Shaq next year, easy to extend to clear a lot, then we have over 100 mill for 2023, so we can sign some of our guys and other FAs fairly easily.

Plumlee is

The Hornets’ extended road trip comes to an end after tonight and along with it ends arguably the most difficult schedule in the NBA to this point. Fittingly, it ends in one of the hardest places to play from an environmental standpoint. The Hornets have at least a little good fortune in that they most recently played in Salt Lake City, which is sneaky elevated, and have had several days in Denver to adjust to the mile high air. Their opponent is a Nuggets team that is on the second night of a back to back. Last night, they played in Oklahoma City and were dealt the largest loss by a Thunder opponent this season. That could be good or bad depending on you want to look at it. The Hornets will be at nearly full strength tonight. Only Cody Martin remains out due to health and safety protocols. https://www.atthehive.com/2021/12/23/22852452/preview-hornets-wrap-up-road-trip-in-denver?utm_campaign=atthehive&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

actually took the lead for a hot minute

At The Hive @At_The_Hive · 3m It's wild how uncompetitive the Hornets can be out west

starters are 0-7 from 3

not a good looking start

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 11m INJURY UPDATE: @hornets at UTA 12/20 Cody Martin (H&S Protocols) out Gordon Hayward (low back discomfort) is doubtful sighs

Utah is not the team we want to play on a 2 game losing streak. We didn't have any magic last night, maybe we'll get some tonight. I need a bright spot after a crappy sports weekend.

starting lineup is back for tonight

Obada saying something in this game

oops wrong thread

with all the talent we have on this defense, we just can't get out of our own way

man that was bad

little bit of redemption for Brian

it's a yardbird kind of day for you!

got a friend coming over who wants to make lasagna...we made the sauce yesterday. Game will be on in the background. If anything can make watching the Panthers this year bearable, it has to be lasagna.

I'm in for as long as I can stand it
