Crazy to think about that we are almost tied in the Standings with Brooklyn and Atlanta and we did it without our most expensive player Hayward for almost the entire season. 

The fact we are paying Hayward $30M is infuriating. I get that the free agent class was brutal when he was a FA but there was no reason to overpay just to sign someone. He’s the Hornets version of McCaffrey.

Bulls injury report

 

Matt Thomas SG   Out

Alex Caruso   SG   Day-To-DayCaruso (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

that All Star game appears to have boosted Melo's confidence.

Since the All-Star break, Ball ranks eighth in made 3s (67) and is shooting .414% from behind the arc in 20 games. He is averaging 19.9 points and 7.7 assists per game in that stretch.

Not looking good in Cleveland…

Just a note, if Cleveland, Charlotte, and Atlanta are tied then Cleveland would win the tiebreaker and Charlotte would be ahead of Atlanta.

If just Cleveland and Charlotte are tied the Charlotte would win the tiebreaker.

This is all contingent are Charlotte winning out.

holy cow Melo with 13 in the first 4 minutes.  Hasn't missed and got a Hum diddley dee from Eric already

[Captain Morgan]

Hornets made their first 11 shots, before Terry threw up a shot that didn't hit the rim. Amazing start.

LaMelo dialed in early on the road. Followed by some airballs and ugly turnovers. Need this group on the same level.

[MillionDollarCam]

Good offensive quarter, defense is still ass…

Update in other games…

Nets up 62-54 over the Cavs at half.

Heat up 24-22 over the Hawks after one.

[MillionDollarCam]

LaMelo is unconscious right now.

[MillionDollarCam]

Well.. the Hornets are doing their part.

Good start to this one.

What team would you guys rather face in the play-in? Atlanta or Brooklyn?

Atlanta. Durant and Irving would go ham on the Hornets and I don't think they would shoot well enough to stay with them while containing the rest of the Nets.

Terry has shot the worst of every Hornet that has played.

2-10. Hopefully he has something ready for the second half.
