He apparently was throwing billard balls at his ex car with the kids in the car.  He should be locked up.  The Hornets doing nothing about this is disgusting.  

If he is convicted, he will be locked up. When there are accusations, we have a trial where we do our best to ascertain guilt. Then, based on the ruling, we determine a punishment. Welcome to America.

his suspension will likely get extended from 10 games all the way to 12

Adam Silver simply does not mess around

I disagree. I think Silver will make an example here because honestly no one cares about the Hornets outside of NC.

Good article that sums up my feelings. The team is fugging up royally trying to sweep this under the rug. 

Silver looks like a ghoul from some fantasy or horror movie. Good on Chuck for bringing it up.

As for Bridges, if he plays, I won't watch.

So real talk, regardless of everyone’s opinion, what is the expectation for Miles? Does he play for the Hornets this year? 

Belief is he'll play without limitations after the current suspension assuming he stays out of further trouble (not sure that's a fair assumption though). My expectations of him are honestly kinda low though, a full year off the court and having all those distractions I don't expect him to be as dominant as he was 2 years ago. Somewhere in between his 20-21 season and his 21-22 season.

 

If he can play anything like 2 years ago that would be insanely huge for this team. We were looking like a legit 5 or 6 seed that year with healthy Melo and Miles carrying the team and many of the other same pieces still here with PJ, Terry, Hayward (albeit different coaching staff). Unfortunately injuries hit us and derailed our season a bit, dropping us to play-in round and ensuing blowout loss. And now this season we have most of the same pieces that had us playing great ball that year, but with LaMelo and PJ being better AND adding Mark and Miller. 


The talent is there, and if Clifford can't make this team a top 6 seed he's gotta be replaced. Never should've been hired really but here we are with him.

Miles Bridges Speaks on Future with Hornets

 

“It’s still the same,” Bridges responded when asked about his upcoming free agency. “I would love to be here. It’s my plan to be here. I love the city of Charlotte. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I grew up here. I’ve been here since I was 20. I’ve been through a lot here and the Hornets stayed down on me when they didn’t have to. It’s like a family to me here. My mom loves it here, my family loves it here. It’s home to me.

“You don’t see too many people finishing their careers (where they started). Steph (Curry) he’s kind of been that model player for this generation. A lot of people be moving teams and moving around. I don’t want to do that. I want to be like Step, Kobe, and Dirk in that type of way - staying with a team and winning with a team.”

      Monday practice tweets

      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.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      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.
