  1. We are missing another piece. I don’t what it is, but I hope the front office has figured it out. Giannis or Bam would be insane.
  2. This one would have been big. Disappointed .
  3. Normal Powell out Andrew Wiggins also out Nicola Jovic out Terry Rozier still suspended Hornets HAVE to win this game. Focus on Bam and Herro and force the backups to beat you.
  4. Tonight’s opponent, the Miami Heat, will be without their leading scorer Norman Powell (22.5 ppg). Miami is currently sitting at the the 8 seed and the Hornets are 2 games behind in the play-in 9th seed. Great opportunity to cut that lead down to 1 game tonight at home.
  5. Definitely down with that. Bam is another guy that fits the criteria I think. Playing Moose at the 4, with Bam or Duren at the 5 just seems nasty to me. But Bam is a better shooter, so I would for sure go along with that. And yes, we don’t have to make too drastic moves. Keep drafting well and we will be OKC of the East really soon.
  6. Most of us Hornets fans are in heaven right now, but it’s never too early to look ahead to next year. We have some serious draft capital and trade bait to throw around this offseason. Starting this new thread to ask…who would you target to upgrade next year’s squad? This new Front Office clearly has a plan and is good at evaluating talent. In my dream scenario, we would put together a package for a dominant BIG on the same timeline as our BIG3. Jalen Duren would be my #1 target (even over guys like Giannis). Whether that’s remotely possible or not, I have no clue. Who are some young players / trade scenarios we might pull off this offseason? The Coby White trade seems to be paying off, as well as our last draft, let’s keep it going! Buzz Buzz Bitchezz.
  7. Half of 58 is 29. Which is how many points we smoked the Celtics by, on their home court. Blowout City. Not even competitive. So I guess you were half right. Hornets reality check is they are REALLY for real.

  9. And 6’10 TJ at 20 years old (#6 overall) has averaged 21 pts and 9.5 rebs in the G-League.
  10. All good, time for a Hornets Revolution!!!
  11. So now is when we collectively request that you change your handle to: HeelsPanthersCanesKillaBees
  12. The correct post is MOOOOSE!!! He even has his own emoji! 🫎🫎🫎
  13. This is why we HAVE to upgrade the BIGS this offseason. Those two are our starting 4 and 5. They bring great energy, talent, and chemistry…but we need an absolute young stud starting at one of those two positions next year.
  14. Yeah but not better than MJ’s EARLY FIRST round picks, right? Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Cody Zeller Noah Vonleh Frank Kaminsky James Bouknight Kai Jones LOL
  15. Can we now call it the Big4 and include Moose? He means so much to this team and is still so young. His rebounding, defense, ball screens, and passing has been on display lately.
  16. Fubo TV. Includes FanDuel, get all Hornets games with Hornets announcers, plus much cheaper.
  17. Hopefully he didn’t hurt his wrist too bad on that dunk. He came back down holding it.
  18. It’s almost as if this Front Office knows what they are doing and has a PLAN. Looking at you, MJ
  19. Coby White just turned 26 in February. The plan is to sign him to a new deal this offseason from what I’ve read. Even Grant Williams (27), Josh Green (25), and Tre Mann (24) are young and in their prime…and all 3 are signed through at least next season. Although I would like to see a couple of them packaged with a pick this offseason for another young piece at the BIG positions.
  20. We didn’t even have a player score 20 tonight and still beat the Mavericks by 27. HUGE difference when you’re healthy and guys like Grant Williams, Josh Green, Sion James, and Kalkbrenner are leading the 2’s vs playing starter minutes. And now add Coby White to that list as well. Our Big3 gets all the national media love, but our 2’s have been huge difference makers lately.
  21. It says something when we lead the entire game, win a 16-point blowout against a strong physical defensive team, and consider it “not pretty”. The way I look at it: this team can DOMINATE against multiple styles of play.
  22. Coby White with 20 points in like 22 minutes. Miles Bridges with one of the filthiest dunks you’ll see to close it out. Moose with a Sporscenter Top10 dunk as well. This team is so fun to watch right now.
  23. HUGE difference when you get Miles and Moose back…add Coby as your #2 PG, move Kalk to #2 C, Sion, Grant Williams, and Josh Gordon all on your #2 squad. I’m even high on Salaun, PJ Hall, and Tre Mann…but as THIRD teamers that’s what’s up.
  24. You joke but Kemba is their current player development coach and could’ve easily scored 25 tonight.
