I said not too long ago Tre Mann will be closing. Have to have him in there.

With Ball and Miller?

Yes, please!

This is a playoff team if we stay healthy.


Sorry but HC Lee got these dudes playing defense when it matters. I think we finally found a good HC. The culture is different.

And Grant taketh away 2.0.

this was a big win because only Ball and Mann looked like they wanted to be here

Lol Melo still cussing in his interviews.

He's a kid at heart.

The Mann had 24. He stepped up. Looks like a 3rd option behind LaMelo & Miller.

So preseason was not fools gold.

He's pure gold. Hornets found a real gem.

Awesome win. Hope Miller is OK…devastating if he’s got any major problem. It’s the Hornets, so it wouldn’t be a shock for the most remotely rare form of lateral recessed micro tendon flummox tear to be cast upon him. Praying for health. This team has some real gaps but such potential with real star power. Love me some M&M&M’s with Melo, Miller and Mann.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

This game saw:

*an 18 point deficit turned 5 point W
*34/11/8 from Ball
*24 in 29 minutes off the bench from Tre Mann
*A poster dunk from Miller, after...
*A 4-point play from Miller
*Grant fall on his ass 2x dribbling the ball
*Nick Richards get devoured like Thanksgiving dinner by Sengün
*Micic play an NBA game stinkin' drunk
*no sight of Mark Williams in the game
*a patented Ball-Bridges lob
*Coach Lee's 1st win

It was pretty wild to watch Grant Williams turn Sengun all the way off on D. He was exceptional.

I don’t really get what all the Sheppard hype was about. He looked closer to 5’10 than 6’2. I don’t doubt he’s a smart kid or whatever but he’s flat out too little

Grant really got in his head. Like, why Alpi?

Ugly Ugly win. Outside of not having Miller, I thought the biggest issue was we played way too slow all night, especially in the half court. I want to see us get down hill and swing ball more. Instead felt like a lot pointless screening up top that really didn't put pressure on the defense.

Melo saved us, but that type of offensive flow isn't going to work with this team. Hopefully Lee gets this figured out in the next few games.

Always will take a W though.

this was a very fun second half. A lot of things went wrong, and this team would've laid down and died after going down 18 these last couple years.
