Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
I for one am not scared of Toronto roster at all. Old Lowry, fairly paid FVV and a struggling Siakam. They are nowhere near as deep as they were two years ago.

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
By rule I never really watch pre season games as they never really tell you anything but with the lack of summer league I might tune in for the rookies.

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
I'll definitely be tuning in to see the board absolutely implode if either Ball goes 1-8 from 3 or 7-8.

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
I’d like to think there wouldn’t be overreactions based on a rookie’s preseason.

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
I haven't got the energy to keep arguing and stressing over our moves. I flamed out early.
I can't wait for the season to start and to get back to watching basketball!

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
I guess Miles and Washington will start competing for that starting 4 spot now

Yes sir. Obviously PJ is the favorite, but we will see if Miles has something for him

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
It's finally clear we see Miles more as a PF as Hayward will get big minutes at SF. Miles is more versatile and makes more sense backing up wing and PF so he's probably going to have to thoroughly outperform PJ. PJ can further cement his case by adding value as a small-ball center.
Either we draft Cade Cunningham or none of this matters.
I will accept no other outcome this season.

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
I just can’t wait for the season to start.
We had some nba during the playoffs but I just miss so much watching the hornet... it feels like an eternity since I didn’t hear Eric’s fantastic voice and Dell’s.

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
Fox Sports South has dropped YouTube TV and Hulu. I refuse to pay for cable. Any other ways to watch the games? Maybe a firestick?

I'm holding out hope that they add it back as the season starts, think that's happened before.
Alternatively, some folks on the GB are plugging a service called hehestreams that I don't really know anything about.

My days of watching games on my laptop are over, and I really don't want porn popping up when im watching the game with my sons. May just get a firestick

Re: Charlotte Hornets: 2020 Preseason Game Threads
You'll still need some type of streaming service with a Firestick. Maybe there are black market apps I don't know about but I've had the best luck just searching for pie on the Silk browser on the Firestick.Liver_Pooty wrote:yosemiteben wrote:Liver_Pooty wrote:Fox Sports South has dropped YouTube TV and Hulu.
