They all give maximum effort, not just that but they refuse to go down no matter what obstacles gets thrown in their way. Magnificent! You can't put that HEART in a copy machine and it can't be bought. It's organic.

 

love this team...so unselfish.  You'd think that backups would come into the game wanting to shoot and make noise, but this team plays together.  A lot to pull for here...as opposed to "assembled superstar" teams.

If, and that is a big IF, PJ decides to actually show up, this team has a chance to win. 
 

PJ needs to stop chasing women and commit to the team, his wild inconsistency is killing them now.

That's why it's more important, since this is organic and rare, that as an organization, they commit to keeping this core together. They'll fight for each other, you start picking them apart, it'll be every man for himself come contract time.

well it's been fun so far...up by 14 much of the first half.  Hold that lead for 3 mins into the locker room.

[33inNC]

This team absolutely cannot play with a lead. Lazy pass after lazy pass and poof goes half the lead. 

Wake up idiots!

[Captain Morgan]

wow!  Miles hit a miracle to end the 3rd!  bout a 35 footer!

It can't be overstated how much more confident Miles looks when taking/making pull-up jumpers. That's a real ceiling-raising development for him

All the talk about LaMelo, deservedly so, but Miles Bridges, what he COULD be in the future as a star in the NBA smh. We have an embarrassment of riches due to wise prudent management. Miles is a big part of that, PJ too. They put the work in so sky is the limit. Being a day one Hornets fan, this is the most interesting squad ever for a couple of great reasons.

Go Hornets!

I ever saw this one coming...what a good effort

if we can get in the playoffs & be 100%, we may make some noise

I think  Hayward is the key

Getting Hayward and Ball back will give this team some depth and with the way they move the ball around they could be dangerous. 

They way they run is so much fun to watch.  Puts the defense on their heels and gives us a lot of open shots.

I work in Kuwait and was able to watch this game live. (Normally if the Hornets are on it is usually the next day on tape delay.  So this was exciting for me to watch them live.

I hope Mitch can appeal to Terry and Devonte and Malik to sign team friendly deals to remain Hornets. I'd like to see everybody come back now that we know what we are. Had they prepared to take the east, knowing what they know now, they could have challenged for it. They need to try to stay together at least another season or two.

I don't see those guys doing team friendly deals. All are young and will want to make as much as they can especially since some team will overpay for one or more of them. Terry might decide to go ring chasing too.
