Has RJ made a jumper off the dribble this year? :lol:

Watching the Hornets feed and Bridges was talking crap to Franz after his last layup. Probably payback for Franz' block on him.

He is so high effort and is fearless in terms of the plays he's willing to make on the defensive end. I fear that will be his gift and curse though. I think he will be a player who deals with minor injuries because he gives everything on the court. Like a Jimmy Butler in that sense.

Charlotte is going to make the playoffs, but they’re so bad defensively that they feel like an easy exit.

It starts at the point of attack with Ball. For as much praise as he receives on the offensive end, he leaves a ton to be desired on the other. A rim-protecting 5 like Turner would change the ceiling of this team immensely.

Suggs is back and I’m loving it.

Lamelo, and others, give up so easily on defense. They just want to run.

Those were some good Mo Wagner minutes

Plumlee has been excellent tonight. Just pure hustle

Plays the game the right way. Underrated center

Suggs is going to be alright guys. Need to be patient but I'm seeing good things.

Suggs just dissed Rozier by saying he was too small to guard him after his layup.

Suggs’ dribbling needs work.

I think I'm right in saying he's been dinging that wrist / thumb up since college, probably just nagging or maybe even subconscious now

I wonder if they’d be interested in Bamba…

The awesome news is it looks like Suggs is picking right back up where he left off before the injury. He's looking much more in control offensively, making better reads, and is harassing players on the other end. Extremely encouraging.

Possibly but if not, he needs to get it fixed ASAP and call it a season. This season doesn’t matter anymore. If he needs surgery, get it done before it affects next season.
