Give me Miles back next season with Wemby or Scoot and we're in business.

We need to stop trying to block every shot, Toronto killing us on putback boards.

LaMelo gets no calls... none.

He needs to just go in looking to create contact and force the ref to blow the whistle.

Tortono second chance points 13-2 on 6/7 shooting because we keep getting out of position trying to play hero ball and block shots.

Mark, Thor, Plumlee all have done it several times.

PJ has 1 rebound. That's the thing that'll stop him from getting a big contract.

We had two bad 2 min stretches in the game, other than that we played pretty well. Just the second bad stretch happened late in the game and we just didn't have time to recover.

Hornets need someone like Siakam who can just put head down and get calls for nothing. He gets more calls 1 on 1 when he has no advantage but just flails.

LaMelo is the exact opposite, he gets no calls. Guys can be behind bumping him after he goes by and he still gets no call. NBA is wild place when it comes to whistles.

Plumlee is going to make some team incredibly happy as a super backup.

I successfully converted a 12 year old native Torontonian to the Hornets' cause while at the game. this is simultaneously the most wholesome and most destructive thing I have done to one of my friend's kids.

Last one seems like a shot at PJ.

there is no doubt about that at all, that's a straight shot at PJ.
how do you expect to get paid 20mill as a power forward while not getting defensive rebounds?
