- The Spurs are on the 2nd half of a back-to-back after losing to the Warriors last night. They will be focused, as always - but a bit tired.
- This will be the 1st game of a 4 game road trip (Spurs, Timberwolves, Knicks, Celtics).
- MCW could be available to play (but per Cliff - only in case of emergency injury).
- MKG left game early with illness. Should be back tonight but something to watch for.

This will be an interesting one... and something has got to give.

Hornets are playing great ball right now and the Spurs are on a 4 game losing streak. Pop HAS NEVER lost 5 games in a row.

The good news is that there is a chance, the Spurs had a pretty late game last night and their big name players played big minutes.

Based on minutes played, the Hornets top 10 players on paper look better than the Spurs top 10 players, I believe this game will 100% come down to coaching. If Clifford can keep it together the Hornets stronger roster should be able to get the win.

Top 10 Player's Based Off Minutes Played

Hornets: Walker, Howard, Lamb, Kaminsky, Williams, Bacon, Monk, Zeller, Graham, Kidd-Gilchrist

Spurs: Aldridge, Green, Anderson, Gasol, Murray, Mills, Gay, Ginobli, Lauvergne, Paul

It's time to find out what this team is made

This is a fun team to watch! With all the poo happening in the NFL politics wise, I’m really enjoying this refreshing start to the NBA season. Much more entertaining IMO. Let’s go Hornets!!!

Agreed.  I do not care about the NFL politics-wise, that is a red herring, but the sport is boring to me anymore.

This team really excites me though in a way I have not cared about NBA in almost twenty years

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
