"9 different Hornets have made a three-pointer" = franchise record. +sweet lob-and-catch.

Nothing crazy just 2 picks preferably the Miami and Dallas picks + Bridges/fillers. If they say no oh well at least we tried to get a premier talent for cheap.
I was out but now I'm back in. **** it

Not sure what I just watched but I like it.
Moose frees us up so much on defense, Bridges/Melo continue to play well, and while Okogie and Jeffries may not be world beaters, they're both grown-ass men that play a physical brand of basketball (which we've been in short supply of). Okogie looking like far from a throw in - nice depth player on this roster.

It's being floated around a lot lately. I have seen numerous NBA players on their podcast say Charlotte should trade for Zion.
I always been on the Zion bandwagon if the picks are realistic. I wouldn't overpay, but 2 picks seem fair.
Hell even throw in Salaun if they want him.

Re: GT: NOP @ CHA Sat 1/25 7:00
Miles is really such a unique player in this league, dude has been doing it all for the Hornets lately.
His playmaking this year is very underrated, almost up to 4 assists a game.
Thought he did a great job defending Zion tonight even though he had 28 pts and made Zion work on defense.
One of those games tonight where everyone played well, NSJ was really only one that had a down game.
Any game Vasa goes 3/3 from deep is +34 you know its our night.

Awesome win. Glad the fans there got to see LaMelo and a win on the same night. That must be the biggest blowout home win since The Valentine's Day Massacre last February against the Hawks (I was also at that one).

The playmaking has been my favourite part of Miles game. Him being able to create has freed up the offense

Re: GT: NOP @ CHA Sat 1/25 7:00
i know the Pelicans have a bunch of dudes hurt, as do we. No excuse for them to look that bad. Zion might have had the least impactful 28/11 Game I've ever seen. Bizarro stats in terms of the plus minus for the team. Ball was zero while vasa was plus 34. Bench unit was really excellent in this game. And it's fun to watch a team with a bunch of smart plus defenders flying all over the court making plays. If this team really had been trying to win all season Jeffries and Curry would have been playing a whole lot more minutes.

He's been really good for The past month or so. I wish we could have seen this version of him earlier in the year.

Re: GT: NOP @ CHA Sat 1/25 7:00
Zion exerts himself in spurts. Then takes breaks, usually in transition defense.
I can't wrap my head around how little the Pelicans are getting out of their collective talent. Are any of them having an up year? I think most are having down years.
I guess they have Herb Jones and Ingram out with injuries. And Zion has missed time. They're weak in their frontcourt.
With Martin, Okogie, Green, Jeffries, Diabeté, Mark, Hornets will compete in most games defensively. Miles and LaMelo are hitting shots. Seth is shooting 46% from 3. NSJ is capable of giving them some offense.
I just don't see any way Hornets can finish in a better position pre-lottery than 5th. Toronto is 5th and we have 2 fewer losses. The Nets are dropping fast and furious. We are not catching the Pelicans, Jazz, or Wizards.

I think the Pelicans and Raptors will still get some more wins.
It’s the Nets who worry me.

I think we will win more than the Pelicans and Raptors. We have some structure on defense now with Mark back, Moussa being a better overall defender than Nick, plus Okogie instead of Salaün. So we're playing defense more like we did when we had Grant for 16 games.
