Couldn't watch the Hawks game, but did see the highlights.

1.) Miller is going to be a perennial All-Star. The Paul George comparisons scoring-wise are looking spot-on. He needs to continue an NBA strength and conditioning regiment and continue growing on the defensive end, but my goodness, we got a great player. 

2.) The acquisitions from OKC were the perfect shot in the arm this team needed. They bring energy and Tre Mann has tons of potential. Excited that he was part of the trade, I think he's going to be a long-term starter for us.

3.) From a Tennessee homer perspective, I like the acquisition of Grant Williams. He brings energy and hard-nosed play.

I don’t know if there is a single player in the NBA that is as up and down as PJ. You never know what you’re going to get with him.

honestly... what other player puts up multiple 40+ point games AND multiple 0 point games? never disliked him but man it's been frustrating watching his disappearing act year in and year out.

i wonder what this team would look like iwth melo and mark

 

Have they given a timetable for their returns? I was at the game against Memphis and Melo was doing an individual workout before the game and he seemed to be moving around just fine. I thought for sure he would return after the all star break. And what kind of back bruise keeps someone out 3 months?

I’m sure Clifford doesn’t want to rush Melo or MW back before they’re truly ready. The flow and improved team chemistry since the trade deadline gives us the luxury to work the new guys in while allowing both to focus on getting healthy for this season and beyond.

So what are the odds they keep Clifford going into next season? I mean, he basically voiced his opinion a couple weeks ago, and said this team has no talent, so they gave him talent, he seems more at ease, he looks to be enjoying coaching now, these new additions have gelled with the team, they’re playing hard, they’re playing defense, importantly, they’re playing as a team. So, given a small four-game sample size, do you think they could win going into the future without a coaching change?

On the 4-game winning streak since the trades:


“Earlier in the season we would have gave up and let them run away with it," Bridges said. "But you know, we got veteran guys in our locker room now — winning players — and we got it done.” 

 

“We didn’t let our offense dictate our defense. We got key stops,” Bridges said about the Hornets keeping the Jazz without a field goal the last 3:33 of the game.

 

Charlotte snapped a 16-game losing streak in Utah. The last win for the Hornets over the Jazz on the road was a 104-89 victory on March 1, 2006.

 

“That’s big for this team." Grant Williams said. "Everybody just plays the right style of basketball. Everybody here, you can tell, wants to win. We have that mentality of doing all that it takes.”

 

“In these four games that Grant’s been on the floor, we’ve been really good,” Clifford said. “He creates a lot of offense for his teammates with his shooting … and then he’s like the middle linebacker back there and organizes your defense. He also plays with great physicality.”

I really like the new additions and the way they fit this roster long-term.  Add in the two future first-round picks and I think the Hornets have a bright future.  

(Tre Mann, Micic, and Grant Williams really have me hyped!)

1.) Lamelo Ball / Micic

2.) Tre Mann / Seth Curry

3.) Brandon Miller / Cody Martin

4.) Miles Bridges / Grant Williams / Bertans

5.) Mark Williams / Nick Richards

Hornets did what they needed to do before and at the trade deadline - good moves for the team moving forward.

I know the season is far from over, but I do want to see how the new ownership directs the new GM/President of Basketball operations now that Kupchak has stepped down.

I actually have some excitement for the Hornets now.....go figure!

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
