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.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
