Unexpected doesn't repeal the disappointment, man. We SHOULD win against them.

Whether or not we do is a whole separate kettle of fish xD

It's only disappointment if you don't accept the curse is real!!!

I mean, I think having a curse is disappointing in and of itself... xD

I'd point out that the Hornets are healthy, which is often not the case and largely explains their losing record. Brandon Miller finding his game after a long layoff is a major change from the pre-Xmas games. MiIller, Ball, Kneuppel, Bridges... that's a nice load of talent.

Looking for a big game from IQ(top scorer vs CH this season). Will need big effort again from Mamu, Shead, CMB, Gradey.

JKW 2-14 from 3 his last 4 games. Him nailing a few open 3's tonight would be nice.

RJ missed 2 games vs them this year so adding him and an improved CMB should be big.

Looks like balls percentages are creeping up again. Shooting 37% from 3 on 8 attempts. Maybe we should go for ball after all lol.

Kalkbrenner is out. Though, Diabate is probable.

I'm sick of playing the Hornets. These games are never as easy as they should be.
On top of that they just beat the Thunder so they got all the confidence in the world

I seem to remember getting horribly out-rebounded by them in every game this year.

Can't wait to watch the Charlotte broadcast of the game tonight.

Brandon Miller was downgraded from Probable to Questionable.

Let's please beat the Hornets, team. Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to watching Kon

Don't let them shoot 3's

Syd-TK3 · Post #38 » by **Syd-TK3** » Thu Jan 8, 2026 12:11 am

Diabate career high coming up

Hornets playing for their first pizza party, could be tough game

On that corner three, we need to trust CMB to contest at the rim and recover to shooters.
