The Hornets Just unveiled a new jersey to be in the team store on Friday. It's the black excellence jersey and apparently was 100 per cent created by employees of the team

Why "Harte"? Did a couple of different searches but no real hits. Not important, just curious about the pun.

Thanks, I got "home is where the heart is" but didn't understand "Harte" to be from cHARloTtE, was wondering if it might be a street or neighborhood or something. Anyway, could be a cool jersey, kinda hard to tell.

DeAndre Hunter to the Cavs is really interesting for them

Blazers have won 9 out of their last 10 and a big part of that is Deni Avdija. How nice would it have been to have Deni and Eason on this team right now. Mark Williams may still be here JMAC

Scoots been playing well too. His shooting splits for the season are up to 43/37/79. Last 25 games hes at

25 gp ~ 27.2 mpg
14.1 ppg ~ 3.3 rpg ~ 5.6 apg ~ 1.4 spg ~ 2.6 tov
47.0% fg ~ 42.1% 3pt ~ 78.7% ft
+1.4 +/-

I though Chauncey Billups was cooked, but its looking like he could end up getting the last laugh

Blazers have a lot of decent players, not a surprise they are playing well. Most teams don't have the depth that they do, but I don't think any one player is the reason they are winning.

Deni the last 5 games has scored 11 pts, 10 pts, 24 pts, 6 pts and 9 pts.

9 out of 10 is impressive for anyone. But certainly helps that they finally got everyone healthy at the same time. Can you imagine if we played 10 games in a row with our fully healthy team for once in the first time in 4 years? I don't know if we'd win 9 out of 10 but I feel like we could go on a pretty good run.

I'm past the point of playing this hypothetical. It's clearly not a thing and I don't think it's fair to anyone to keep saying "yeah but wait til they're healthy at the same time?!"

It’s really not that hard to just say “we believe in Davis, Christie and the flexibility of the draft pick” instead of taking shots at the guy you traded

Well they don't, right?

You don't trade Luka for Day 2 Davis and Max Christie and go "we're excited about what's going on here"

on a brighter note, how about that Dante Exum top scoring for Dallas. so happy to see him come back and contribute after injuries

It’s not often I find myself agreeing with Draymond Green, but some of his points are valid IMO.

Then the four-time champion with the Golden State Warriors was asked a simple question: Does he think the NBA game is boring?

"Absolutely," he said.

I have asked turned into the All-Star Game on a replay late last night. That was some of the most unwatchable basketball content I've ever seen. Had nothing to do with the typical lazy basketball being played by the players and 100% to do with the NBA just turning it into a 3-hour Shameless money making scheme. I feel like there was maybe 15 minutes of actual basketball played

The Hornets as a cautionary tale against NBA expansion.
