Ugly win but man it feels good to be “upset” about an ugly win. This team is legit when they can win ugly like this in a game with potentially big playoff implications while down 2 starters.

I seem to recall Seahawks fans back in the day talking about this guy like we used to talk about Mike Shula. Not sure what to think of this

Should've been: Duren and Moose: 2 each (Duren for starting it, Moose for going crazy after lol) Bridges: 3 (1 for defending Moose, 2 for escalating further with Stew) Stewart: 10 (fug that dude, came off the bench, long history already, NBA should've sent a message with double digit games) Oh well, I think we can weather the storm for 4 games. A win tonight would be huge as the next couple after are tough, vs Houston and Cleveland. Last game against the Wizards should be a win even short handed. Then back to full strength and keep the train rolling. Still thinking we get a 7 or 8 seed and win 1 of a potential 2 in the play-ins to make the real playoffs. 6 seed and skipping the play-in entirely is a tough ask. But I do think we are better than Magic, Heat, Hawks and can pass 2 of them before the end of the regular season.

fug the dirty ass pistons and the refs. Tough to lose the streak but incredible showing from the players, the fans and coach Lee. This was a very important game for the development of this young team. The culture has changed. I’m confident the boys can beat the Hawks short handed and get things right back on track after the all star break

He was atrocious until garbage time

fug the patriots

I thought 9 already matched it. Never won 10 straight before

Great job closing out this game on the road, it really felt like one that could end our streak. Huge test on Monday against the 1 seed Pistons. Feeling good about it at home!

Wait is it happening now or something? Truly had zero clue and saw no news about it at all despite checking espn and other stuff a fair amount with the nba trade deadline stuff

Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too. As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

Ehh Miller alone makes that a great draft class. Glad we didn’t make the mistake of taking Scoot, as many wanted. MJ’s final parting gift to us

Huge win, I’m completely sold on this team and this core. Kon and Diabate were the last missing pieces along with Miller/Ball health. The defense has improved significantly and the offense is playing amazing team basketball. Had some passing plays that looked like prime Warriors dynasty or Pop Spurs out there which is just so damn fun to watch. Unselfish team basketball. This Hornets season feels a lot like the Hurricanes’ 2018-19 season when they broke a decade long playoff drought. Started the season horribly but went on a run the rest of the season like this January for the Hornets. Haven’t missed the playoffs since then and have won at least a round every year. Hopefully Hornets can follow that same trajectory man.

fuging love this team man, wow what a month of basketball.

Tet and Coker in KC would go for 1500 and 1200 yards respectively, easily

Spygate getting swept under the rug with the evidence of the patriots filming the Rams, ours and Eagles' SB walkthroughs getting destroyed makes the NFL and Goodell a farce and meaningless.

Yeah, I’m a Darnold fan. Can’t say the same about the other QB from that draft we acquired around the same time

Stidham terrible decision, needs to just not fug up and they’ll win but that was a disastrous momentum changing giveaway

I would’ve taken the points there

Broncos absolutely dominating in field position so far.

That was a hell of a sack. Man I wish we had a real pass rush

I mean, Stidham on paper really isn’t a “real backup QB.” Obviously Payton saw something he liked enough to rely on him as a backup but it’s not like Stidham is a former starter who had some success and is known as a top backup (like Foles was when he won with the Eagles).

Yeah I don’t even think Nix is that good. He’s closer to Bryce than he is to a legit franchise QB IMO. But Payton is a wayyy better offensive mind than Canales.

Can’t stand either team but pulling for Denver today. Think we get a rematch of SB XLVIII with Seahawks blowing out the broncos badly again. Pulling for Rams and Stafford to win it all though, Seattle just seems too good and they’re at home. Either way I think NFC takes it this year.

Yeah nobody ever really knows how much of a player ultimately being a success is scouting vs development/coaching. It's always a mix and you need both, and both need to be aligned as players you scout could fit in one coach's system but not fit in others. That's why you need coaching staff and front office to be in lock step.

Yeah I'm super excited about Scourton. I'm just holding back my excitement a bit as I was also incredibly excited about Kony Ealy and that came back to bite me. Hence why I'm "nearly sold" but not "completely sold."
