This will be the first Hornets game my two young nephews attend, so I hope the team plays well and they have a good time. It would make finding gifts for them way easier if they become fans :lol:

It's obvious that due to the **** show of epic proportions that was the off-season the team was mailing it in. When everyone is healthy and tired of sucking we look like a playoff team. We need to be smart though, the team is in the perfect position to get a massive influx of talent. It makes zero sense to compete for the play-in.

Ive heard this Miami team has been looking cooked recently, but I didn't expect this...

Still think our ceiling is 4th worst. But we're gonna try really hard to make the playoffs until we're officially eliminated.

I think the team might already be better with Mark as the starting center than Plumlee. He was doing well in RAPTOR/EPM type stats when I checked before the all-star break, too.

What an insult to Plumgoth. Luckily he took his talents to LA so he can't hear you.

Mark should average a double-double though. Maybe something like 12/12 with 2 blocks. Would be great if we can keep Nick too, they may be one of the best C duo's in the league, at least in terms of rebounding.

I don't think we ever wouldn't have been better off with Mark, except for the one stretch we played with no guards early on. this team always just needed rim protection, rebounding, and an above the rim finisher. Plumlee was a master tank commander, he just got good numbers in the process.

Ya, I definitely think Mark has improved throughout the season, but I think its bogus to act like he was completely unplayable scrub at the beginning of the season and has miraculously taken a huge leap in a few months because of playing in GBoro or whatever some people are going to claim.

Melo with a cool 1-11.

Mark padding those rebounding stats, up to 12 now.

Got a double-double too.

Bam is -20 with only 3 rebounds.

Melo is something else. Terrible shot, but the sheer cajones...

Not surprising. People had to watch Mason Plumlee in person to believe his greatness.

That might be the weakest over the back foul I've ever seen.
