Temporarily up to 5th in the table. Charlotte’s next five games are all very winnable, they have a great chance to set themselves up for the playoffs.

Goallll!!! X2 Fantastic counter by Charlotte and a great low cross by Bender to Ruiz results in a goal followed by a nice 1-2 combination between Bender and Shinyashiki which results in a blast by Shinyashiki outside the 18 that finds the back of the net. FINAL Charlotte FC 4 - Nashville 1 Fuchs 26’ Pen Swiderski 61’ (from Reyna) Ruiz 89’ (from Bender) Shinyashiki 90’ + 1’ (from Bender)

Shinyashiki in for Jozwiak and Reyna in for Mora. Looks like a switch to a 5-4-1 maybe. Or maybe a 4-4-2 with Mora playing as an outside mid.

Nashville gets one back after a horrible penalty conceded by Afful, was totally unnecessary. Charlotte FC 2 - Nashville 1

Goallllll!!! There it is!!! Swiderski finally gets one off a lovely cross by Reyna. Great heading finish by Karol. Charlotte FC 2 - Nashville 0 Fuchs 26’ Pen Swiderski 61’ (from Reyna)

Oh Lord… Corujo must have picked up a knock… Makoun is in. Hopefully we can hang on.

Goallllll!!! Charlotte FC 1 - Nashville 0 Fuchs 26’ Pen Great cutback by Ruiz in the box right into the path of an incoming Nashville defender who was reckless with his tackle. Also a great ball by Reyna to Ruiz. Good job by Fuchs to calmly convert the penalty as well.

Big one coming up against Nashville, looks like the same lineup as last week. GK - Kahlina RB - Afful RCB - Corujo LCB - Walkes LB - Fuchs CDM - Bronico RCM - McNeill LCM - Ruiz RW - Jozwiak ST - Swiderski LW - Reyna Subs - Marks, Lindsey, Makoun, Mora, Bender, Jones, Gaines, Shinyashiki, Rios Not Included - Sisniega, Sobocinski, Alcivar, Ortiz, Vargas Injured - Armour, Mello On Loan - Zendejas(Charlotte Independence), Santos (Charlotte Independence), Hegardt (Charlotte Independence), Franco (Talleres)

Hornets fall to the Pacers, 96-84. Leaders: Nick Richards - 15 Points (63% FG), 11 Rebounds (3 Off), 2 Blocks, 1 Assist, -6 LJ Figueroa - 16 Points (100% FG, 100% 3P, 100% FT), 5 Rebounds (2 Off), 2 Assists, 1 Steal, -7 Richards looks a little more mobile but he still needs to work on his overall coordination and cutdown on the turnovers. Figueroa looked great with the minutes that he got, he might play his way into a two-way contract.

Hahah the shame corner, that’s great.

+/- isn’t everything but Mark Williams leads the Hornets at -1…

Phew, just like that, it’s a blowout.

McGowens looks like he might turn into something.

Down 42-37 at the half to Indiana. - Kai Jones looks like an NBA player, his three isn’t falling but he just looks and plays like an NBA player. He’s got 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. - Nick Richards looks to have improved some, he’s moving with much more fluidity. He has 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 block. - Mark Williams is struggling on offense but he controls both the paint and glass with ease. He has 3 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block. - Bryce McGowens is a very active player, he might be a volume shooter right now but if he ever becomes consistent then he’ll be a steal. He has 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. - JT Thor hasn’t had it tonight and looks out of sorts. He has 2 points and 2 rebounds.

He’s been hurt for the majority of his time in Carolina, if he’s truly healthy then see what he’s got unless they buy him out (unlikely).

I think it would be wise to at least give Gardiner the ability to compete in camp.

Rumors are that the Canes viewed TDA is a third pairing defenseman who is a PP specialist. Not saying that Joey Keane would come close to replicating TDA’s success but I’d assume he’ll get a chance along with Gardiner to be that third pairing PP specialist. One thing is for certain, the Canes are in need of a 1D. Slavin - ? Skjei - Pesce Gardiner - Chatfield/Keane

I mean no one has a gun to your head and is forcing you to visit this board…

Scottie Lewis broke his leg so that’s another one that we won’t have in summer league… him and Bouknight could have used it.

Have to think Klingberg is going to be on our radar.

Have to think that Klingberg might be a target of ours this offseason.

Well… there is.

TDA to the Flyers mentioned as a possibility.

Rumors that TDA could be on the move today.

How we going to feel when the Hornets don’t pull the QO? Jake Fischer from BR says that he has first hand knowledge that we haven’t pulled the QO yet and we may not.
