Have to take care of business. Every game matters in terms of keeping home court advantage.

[3ddman23]

Must win. No excuse just go out and win... but preferably not like how you won against Portland lol.

[Skybox]

Should be over by the 3rd Qtr...no interior defenders. Paolo and Franz should methodically go to the rim, draw fouls, hope teammates can hit all of the open 3's and win this game going away. Lock down defensively early and remind CHA they're in over their heads.

If Paolo or any of the principal guys get lazy and fall into a shootout with Miller - it could be a mess.

Not only is the Cavs 1-9 over their last 10, this is a team that is 3-16 over their last 19. In other words, this game has "trap" written all over it.

Just Win

[RichCollab]

Have to take the easy ones!

[SOUL]

Kinda annoys me how they're playing all their guys that were out last game though.. they're tied for 19 wins aka the top 3 pick.. go full tank!! They're probably trying to get back for the beatdown

[p0peye]

Do Hornets own their pick this year?

[Knightro]

Do Hornets own their pick this year?

Yes.

They traded their 2024 1st away on draft night in 2021 to get Kai Jones, but the pick is lotto protected so they’re keeping it.

The Knicks later traded the pick to Atlanta for Reddish.

The Hawks later traded the pick to San Antonio as part of the much larger package for Dejounte Murray.

The pick is also lotto protected in 2025 and then becomes two 2nds in 2026 and 2027.

[RookieStar]

Alright, no frills. Just win this. We need to win 49 games before we can breathe a sigh of relief

48 does it, 47 SHOULD do it but also requires specific teams not winning out

[basketballRob]

It's works out well tonight. We can watch the Magic and then Iowa vs. Connecticut. Paige and Caitlin.

Let's Go Magic!

[3ddman23]

Yayyy another dumpy start again. ...

[3ddman23]

So Portland game all over again....

[Knightro]

Hot take…

If the Hornets hit every single shot, they are going to win.
