I love Melo but the group that was in cut it to 3. He comes in and were down 9 15 seconds later. Sometimes you gotta just ride the hot group

Melo throwing up random hail mary 3's and Gordon missing open jump shots killed the momentum other guys had built. I only caught the 4th quarter but those two both looked complacent

Miller is going to be special. Refs gave us the shaft, long and hard. They let Detroit play physical and blew the whistle on us for petty stuff. NBA hates the Charlotte market, so don't expect much. Always puzzles me how the Hornets are the only team in the NBA without the classic "home court" advantage. It is what it is.

I miss the hive.

Miller played 33 minutes and was only a -2.

Washington, Hayward, Rozier, and Ball all played around the same minutes and were anywhere from -7 to -12.

Plus-minus isn’t a great indicator of defense but it can be a good indicator of which players are on the court when the team goes on a run.

Of course Miller got taken out as soon as he cut the game to four with his massive dunk.

Clifford is going to coach himself out of a job because he simply doesn’t understand when to take guys out and when to leave them in.

Williams still better.  I still don't understand why we don't have both other then mj being a cheap ass

I'm big on Mark Williams. But trading Duren for a few dimes and nickels to draft the likes of Bryce McGowens when we could have both is some Scott Fitterer bullshit.

Yeah it was basically to save money for Miles' contract as I remember it. Just take the guy and figure it out later. He's way more valuable than a couple 2nds or whatever we got. GM's are supposed to figure that poo out

Absolutely. It looks even worse to know keeping Miles Bridges around with his heavy baggage was a significant factor in the trade.

This is a franchise that has had either average mediocre or laughably poor center play for the better part of 2 decades now with Al Jefferson being one of the few bright spots. It'd be nice to potentially have a 1-2 punch under rookie contracts and clearly we could use some more physicality around the rim.

But missteps like this are why Mitch wore out his welcome with the Lakers and why he will end things the same way here.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
