Miss Ish already. Never mind our other point guard.

You know what, we lost, but Im proud that even with some our best players out we are staying in games against other good teams. I remember a time where even if our best had a good night we would lose a close game. I'm amazed having watched this team grow from the **** it was under the Bobcats monkier.

Good effort, but this game showed we need to find a center somewhere. Embiid did whatever he wanted.

Probably would've won if we had Melo & Rozier, or maybe even one of them.

Drummond is not the answer. If we're going to upgrade then do a significant upgrade. Tired of these stop gap centers

We probably cannot afford anyone else. We need a SOLID and CHEAP 2 year rental until our Center’s develop.

Cousins would have been great as well. The only other way around this is to find a way to protect the perimeter better which would, in theory, keep the opponent’s score lower. That way we wouldn’t have to rely on our Center much outside of doing what Plumlee would do…facilitate.

Our defense is now worst in the league, and it doesn't appear it was Ball's fault as its been just as bad with him out. I don't think Mitch is gonna make a trade, in interviews he seems want them to grow together. We don't have a first to trade or much capspace, so it's on Borrego to figure this out with what we have

Wasn’t that long ago the Hornets had one of the league’s better defenses, but couldn’t score with other teams.

Defense anchors at the point and in the paint. Love LaMelo but his focus isn’t defense…yet. Biggest problem is we have no goalie, no big who blocks shots, shuts down the lane or seals out offensive rebounds.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Going back to last night yeah we need a center but I was so pleased and proud to watch a hornets team who never quits and watching the rookies starting to develop was great to see. We have a great future going forward just need that big to complete the team. Exciting times guys

Return to Charlotte Hornets
