That would be Utah.  Just glad they don't have Embid.

I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times.  If we had a legit big man, imagine the better looks we'd get from three playing the inside out game.  If we had someone in the middle our opponents actually considered a threat, this team would be so dangerous.  But instead we have soft, no defense Zeller, and no hands Biz.

 

But, hats off to Melo, he's must-see TV and he has earned that starting spot.  I guess Borego didn't know what to do so he started all three guards to not make waves.  Sooner or later he'll have to choose the sixth man.

LaMelo Ball led the way for the Hornets, erupting for a career-high 34 points on 14-of-27 shooting, four rebounds, eight assists, two steals and zero turnovers in the loss. Ball is the first Charlotte rookie to record a 30-point game since Walter Herrmann on April 14, 2007 and the youngest in NBA history to do so with five assists and no turnovers (previous: Stephon Marbury).

34 points from a rookie AND everything he has done previously. This is your very own Kobe replacement and thank God you didn't trade him away this time around.

GO HORNETS!

After last night I’m 100% convinced that LaMelo will ultimately bring the Hornets their first championship and consistent playoff success for as long as he’s here and healthy. I trust Kupchak to continue building around him. We may need another year or 2 but this kid is so fuging good. Also he’ll help us get other veteran role players to want to come here and join forces, which is essential in this modern game. Despite the loss I couldn’t be more pumped about this team’s future.

I thought Vernon Carey Jr was NBA ready. We need a rotation of three solid centers like the Bulls three headed monster back with MJ. Nick Richards? Time to throw them in there, especially Carey Jr.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
