Chill my guy. Hornets ain't got MVP Melo right now.

Just last year yall were a bottom feeder. Now you think you 09 Orlando Magic.


I would say something similar, but I can't, because the Hornets have never been any good.

This should not be a close game. It’s a joke that it is to begin with.

That was great defense by Duren on the Mobley roll.

Every time I watch Cade he’s so bad. Not sure what people are seeing to make luka comparisons unless they mean luka when he was 16 at Real Madrid on the bench

Could be, or his teammate Cole ANthony, Also, arguably most dominant defender in the league is their bench player.

He's been decent tonight, but he has below-average athleticism. He is too ball dominant to not get stronger and/or get better at manipulating the actions with old man game. Maybe watch tape of Bulls/Lakers version of Ron Harper to see about playing with pace.

His PER, I know its dead stat, but just for curriosity sake, his PER is 12.4... And we are talking about guy who is averaging over 22/7. Thats ridiculous. ALso, his career TS% is 50.5%. Sadly, he is busting,

Well things are looking better, and all it took was Bogey coming back. We still suck, but it's been obvious that we need our shooters and vets playing to actually be an effective team.

Ausar has caught a serious fouling bug, probably the most foul prone player currently in the league.

The Mikal Bridges game. He is just abusing Franz.

Not sure why people are surprised the Nets dominated the Magic... This Magic squad wants nothing to do with this Nets team, they're fugazy bully ball just doesn't work against teams that play with grit.

Kudos to the Magic for winning games and assembling a good record, but they're far from a good team (and before anyone makes a snarky remark, no, the Nets are not a good team either).

Listening to the Mavs broadcast, Derek Richardson and Tom Washington, two of the longest tenured refs in the NBA. Literally never heard their names before. How does everyone know Tony Brothers, Scott Foster and Marc Davis?
