Melo is gonna be fine. THis was his first real "Down" game of the season, and what happened? The guys who the hornets needed to step up, stepped up. No reason to think him playing like this will be a trend, and when he is on his game and guys like Bridges, Hayward, Plumlee, Smith etc. Play like this, we will be hard to beat. Keep in mind we are still without our best scorer and one of our best rotation pieces.

Sometimes you have to squeak out an ugly one.

On a separate note, this team has some depth. 4-1 without our leading scorer from last year…

When healthy our rotation turns into:

G - LaMelo Ball, Ish Smith

G - Terry Rozier, Cody Martin, James Bouknight

F - Gordon Hayward, Kelly Oubre, JT Thor

F - Miles Bridges, Jalen McDaniels, Kai Jones

C - Mason Plumlee, P.J. Washington, Nick Richards, Vernon Carey Jr.

Very solid group.

Welp, the Hornets may have just gotten cursed. Grant Hill and Brendan Haywood just said on the NBA channel that the Hornets could win a playoff series or even two. They also said Ball is a star the team can market and that Bridges is rapidly becoming one too. The positivity was ronald mcdonald omg GIF by McDonald's CZ/SK

At least it wasn’t the Barkley guarantee.

Seems like Melo always have bad games against Cole Anthony.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
