2026 Charlotte Hornets

Knicks on the road tonight. I'd have to imagine they're looking for a little revenge.

I had a feeling we’d go 1-4 over these last 5.  I did not want to be right.  All things aside, this was the most fun I’ve had watching hornets basketball in 25 years.

Hornets are 14.5 point favorites. I guess the Knicks are resting people 

[uncfan888]

Yeah just saw the report. They are resting everybody

We're 4-2 over the last 6 and better win tonight

Basically the entire squad.  We can’t lose tonight, please play hard for the CLT fans.

Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season

It was always going to happen sooner or later. Especially heading into the playoffs. Coaching staff has to find a way to develop a complete offense or we need to look elsewhere.

Hornets average 43 three point attempts per game.. They shot 32 in the first half

It's cooled off because teams are coming out and pressing them and fouling them 35ft out, the backup Knicks are holding jerseys and getting away with it and that's been a repeating theme over the last few weeks. 

 

Teams are coming out and applying pressure closer to halfcourt, playing tough physical defense, grabbing jerseys and the like to get them out of rhythm and it's been effective.

We're definitely not going to get the benefit of the whistle anytime soon.

Teams have certainly been getting more physical with us since that first Pistons loss. We responded with many upcoming wins by playing very physical basketball ourselves. That's what it's going to take. If it means some fouls along the way so be it but the team has to set the tone. But either way we need more offense closer to the rim. We're right there with GS for most 3PA. And the Warriors are also backing their way into a play in game. We shouldn't be wanting to emulate that.

Already shot 44 in this game which is ridiculous

I think the fanbase due to our hunger for .500 has overrated Charles Lee a good bit. Honestly we saw more complete development offensively under James Borrego.
