I want to see them win a playoff series. I saw a lot of folks saying the Hornets would take a step back this year after losing Graham and Monk. They haven't though. If anything, they've improved.

Don't care enough to hate the team. I've been watching for the laughs the last three years or so.

Good win. It's nice seeing the Hornets handle the teams they should be handling unlike that Magic game.

Nice play rookie!

Thor hasn't met a shot he doesn't like.

It's a Bouknight sighting! Now, give us Thor and Jones.

The refs seem to be even worse about calling fouls this year. I've seen people complain everywhere about it no matter the team. That's the problem with Oubre. When he's off, he's really off. But when he's on, he can drop 30 like it's nothing.

You just had to edit. lol Oubre has been a huge surprise. He just fits with this team. Kai Jones is hopefully the rim protector. And this would be a good time to try Ish or Bouknight to see if they could spark the team.

So are the Suns. I just had to point out that their are certain teams the Hornets are just bad against for some reason or another. The Heat have been another one the last couple seasons. And that was a very nice alley oop to Plumlee. LaMelo is on another triple double watch.

The Jazz have owned the Hornets the last couple years.

Nice. It's about time JB started calling TOs when the other team starts getting uncle Mo on their side instead of waiting until they cut the lead to 10 or less.

Good first half. It's nice to see the Hornets handling a team that they should be handling. Good crowd too.

Unless they play the Jazz or Suns.

I'm not so sure about that. Since Rhule, Tepper, and Co want to trust the process, that might mean drafting a QB in R1 every year until they hit on one, sort of how the 76ers in the NBA did with drafting centers a few years ago. Joking aside, there are some guys here saying to draft a QB in R1 each year until the team hits on one. They claim it's worthwhile even though you're not giving a guy time to develop and you're keeping the team from drafting other possibly elite prospects at other positions of need/want.

I mean, it is the Panthers thing to do.

Nah. Fitt and Rhule will take Howell or Pickett this year and win just enough games to be out of the sweepstakes as Rhule gets year 4.

Yep. Win streak vs beating LBJ? I'll take beating LBJ. Hornets have rarely done that the last decade or so.

And it makes sense if you don't want to give up future picks or don't want to pass up on whoever they are targeting in the top ten. Moore is one of the few players on the team that should get a good return.

Next Friday night's game vs the Lakers will now be another national broadcast on ESPN and start at 7:30 instead of 7!

@Zod, can this be the sidebar picture? It's excellent.

I'm not surprised.

Blasted banwagon fans. Find another team train to jump on. Just kidding. The Hornets are a very fun team to watch most of the time.

Owners, players, coaches, or GMs always talk about winning in the public and should be expected. Doesn't mean they mean it though.

I've said all year that Rhule will get at least 4 years. That was mostly due to the length and amount of that contract, but it might also be because Tepper is a true believer in Rhule. Or he just doesn't care.
