LaMelo Ball out for tonight's game against the Pelicans.

So far nothing has changed with our two best players availability very early in the season.

Sad.

It really is pitiful. These guys have no motivation to actually play an just want to get paid. Hint- If you cannot stay on the court, you don't deserve max money. 

I guess the joke is on us for expecting any differently.

Best thing I can say about the Hornets currently is we do have more promising young talent in the event of Ball or Miller missing games.

But the culture remains the problem. When the leaders of the team are quick to take games off eventually that is going to translate to the rest of the roster even the younger guys. What's their incentive to keep grinding you know?

Anywho. We lost to the winless Pelicans last night. Doesn't get any lower than that.

Just rewatched the Pelicans game and couple of points.   Where the fug is glass ass Lamelo and Brandon.  I mean play through some injuries this is bullshet.  Also, the coach is literally doing nothing.  This team has talent now and we keep playing completely clueless finishing games.  We need a new coaching staff with any kind of backbone and light a fire.  This team has to shake this loser mentality

Golden State had "The Splash Brothers."

Charlotte has "The Glass Brothers."

I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
