Nurk - like his ball movement and size in the paint. needs to stop shooting 3s immediately. might be the best 3rd string C in the league imo

Baugh - love him. it's only been two games but it's clear he's way more talented than Micic, Payton, late career Ish, Sessions, MCW, and whatever other trash backup PGs we've put up with over the years

Payton - seriously might be worse than Shelvin Mack's 4 games here that are still seared into my memory against my will. Just play Baugh

Moore - nothing
investigate Adam Silver

So far I like Nurkic, smart, big, rebounds, knows the game, super passer and screen setter. Needs to score but that will come.
Early on Baugh but good size and game. I want more Baugh.
Payton, ehh….so so. Inconsistent. A step up from Wong I suppose.
Moore is less…or less is Moore. Either way need MORE from Moore.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Mark needs to work on that body in the offseason, as he is looking pretty crappy right now.

Our offense is not conducive to flow or creating open shots. It’s so clunky, so much wasted time. Part of they is on LaMelo struggling with the excellent Camara but part of it is Lee

im only getting quick views and no one is cracking it, so it must be the right call, but it truly looks like Portland just drives head first into their opponents chest then get the benefit of the doubt

Aussie Portland fan goes to a game and he gets introduced to Greg Oden, gets a signed jersey.

How do I get Charlotte to do something like that!

Down 41 to these guys. Squinting hard enough, this line-up kinda reminds me of the better Clifford/Cho-era teams:
Simons = Kemba
Avdija = Nic before he got paid
Camara = MKG/Courtney Lee
Jerami = Marv
Clingan = Al/Biz/Zeller

How can you have confidence in the leadership of this team moving forward, realistically?

The Blazers don't have a real star, yet are a very solid all-around team. We should take note.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
