Lots of interesting matchups. This Hornets team is better than a tanking team.

My 28 year old is taking me. Our goal is to get the "Play the song!" chant going (if we hVe a substantial lead in the fourth).

We'll boost you!

Hopefully LaMelo doesn't go off on us, otherwise I'm confident in a victory.

I expect this to be a competitive game, Charlotte has been looking good since Lamelo started turning it up & Miles Bridges came back

Nah Black/Suggs and 14 minutes of Issac are gonna contain him, should make for some entertaining match-ups at the guard spot.

Now. This here is a real test. Let’s see how our boys respond when they are heavily favored. Handling success is a big part of the next step of becoming a good team. Let’s go Magic!

We could have anywhere between the best record in the NBA to the 8th worst after tonight.

Trap game.... Considering the caliber of opponents we've beaten recently it could be easier to let your foot off the gas for a team that may be a step down in quality..... I think this will be a great test to see where our mental fortitude is at.... Can we keep it going or concede to a let down and think just because we show up we'll win

The goal should be to put this game out of reach early so our deep bench gets minutes to redeem themselves…

Honestly, as long as we’ve hovering around the 6th seed all season, I will be happy for us to get right into the playoffs.

Honestly this would be the most impressive win capping off the week. Play hard and together and we will be okay!

I prefer the best record in the NBA, but the 6th seed would be okay.

Crazy how the majority of people are calling this a trap game. U would think if the masses have this mind set they have had to talk about it as well. Let's see how the come out the gates. It will tell a lot about how this game goes.

very good on eye test.
more mature one could expect,when shot will fall a bit more,he will be already an nba rotation guy not bad at all.

showed good flashes on D and as secondary playmaker,surely some rookie mistake but less than expected as i said.

ball handling is not there but,for example,is on another league in comparision with jabari smith(never understood the comps between the two btw)

If everyone was healthy all year on the Hornets, they could be a 7th or 8th seed.

The 8th worst what? You mean best?

RookieStar · Post #38 » by **RookieStar** » Sun Nov 26, 2023 10:10 pm

Melo has been averagin incredible numbers. His almost trip-dub stats are something else. Hope Suggs and Black can contain him

The 8th best record.

Last season, the 6th seed in the East was 8 games over 500. The 6th seed in the West was 8 games over 500. We're 6 games over 500 now, so if we play 500 ball the rest of the season, we'll have a shot at the 6th seed.
