**** awesome.


LaMelo….AND Terry….AND Plumlee….AND McDaniels!

Yikes. Certain more players to follow. NBA proving what the general public has known for a while; vaccination may help lessen the intensity but it does NOT prevent Covid. Hope these guys rest up and have no lingering issues.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Who has ever suggested that getting vaccinated makes you immune from COVID?

Does anyone know why or how LeBron only missed 2 games with Covid but our guys will have to serve the full 10 days?

Because HGH has advanced healing properties against all things - COVID included.

apparently they determined he had a false positive... given that our guys played against Coby White who had COVID and then FIVE of our guys went to protocols, it's pretty safe to say we didn't have false positives.

Was listening to Locked on Hornets and they led the podcast today talking about Melo having a thumb injury...? This is the first I've heard of it and haven't seen anything about it online. Anyone hear the same thing anywhere?

It was mentioned either during or after last nights game.

I believe it’s his thumb on his non-shooting hand.

Not that I personally care too much for player's money grabbing attempts but these are much nicer than those orange abominations.

I believe they are $125 rrp.

Not too cost prohibitive.

Kevin Garnett is a fan
“You know, who I love watching? The Hornets. Man, I’ve followed LaMelo through the whole YouTube half-court and all the other stuff. He’s probably one of my favorites. LaMelo has kind of an old-school, he moves the ball and has a high IQ. He’s got the old-school feel to him. He has a bunch of magic in him.”

KG added, “I can’t wait for him to get some more size on that’s actually gonna take his confidence to another level. I got him being the MVP in less than five years because he’s dictating the league play, the style.”
