I like the Hornets centers. Richards and Williams are solid even if unspectacular.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

I just hope it means we can try to see if queta has something early season. don't hold him back because korny is familiar. you can keep korny because he's solid for the regular season, but give queta a shot for real.

All this team is missing is Malik Fitts for elite bench celebrations

KP with a few eye popping plays.

Tatum playing like Tatum.

White making plays on both ends of the floor. LOved that block he had near the rim - plays like that, it's crazy to see those kind of plays from a guard - jeez, he protects the rim like a big.

Jrue not scoring a lot but playing like a very good glue guy.

The bench looked ok.

Queta got a shot to get minutes over Kornet..and Queta did decent in there..


At this point it would be an absolute shock to see Queta stay on a 2 way deal.


I wouldn't be shocked. He can still get into 45 games this year on the 2-way. Like it or not, Luke has earned Joe's trust. I think if it's not enough during the regular season, we make a move at the deadline for another big.


I get it. But he does suck

Svi never met a shot he didn’t like. That’s good to see even though he isn’t hitting

That's one thing Gabriel can do that most bigs can't.

He used to be a wing in middle school and early in his HS years too. He can handle the ball, lead the break, weave in and out of traffic and finish.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I don’t know if you guys follow Bobby’s twitter but the dude’s obsession to go double big despite Al coming off the bench making so much sense is quite something.
