Eric Collins talking about moose being the biggest member of the ungulate family is why he is the king of this ****.

Cool, getting a jersey showcase. Not crazy about the collar. "Harte" is highlighted didn't notice that in the image, lots of cool easter eggs.

Moose needs to be on the court at all times. Just play him 48 mpg until his heart explodes.

Who am I to question the genius of Eric Collins, but I don't think that is an accurate fact. Moose is the largest of literal deer though.

48 minutes of him and Okogie every night with JMAC3 sitting behind the bench and we are set. Dynasty baby, dynasty!

2nd quarter Mark has arrived. Pretty good. Can't wait for second half Mark. That Mark is the best Mark.

That last shot by Lillard is superstar stuff.

Every now and then I'll see we're down by 20, or 30, and think 'well, at least I might get to see some scrub time.' Quickly hits me that Lee goes 12 deep and every minute of our games is scrub time.

Our plucky team of scrubs did their best to make it semi-respectable, but just missed too many easy opportunities.

I’m not watching, just curious if this is like the 15th straight game he’s not tried.

Simpson and NSJ could be the depth we desperately need next season and moving forward. Mark is either scared of getting hurt or he’s just a pussy. I hate hating on my dukies but he should be an average center in his sleep

I don't understand what happened to this guy. He was a super promising center and he just turned into unplayable trash.

Man, this is the most disappointing Hornets season I think I've ever experienced and that's really saying something. Good thing, though, is after next year it'll only be the second-most disappointing. And even better, after the year after that, it'll fall to third.

But he’s damn near a top 6ish center when he looks like he’s putting forth supreme effort. That’s what pisses me off. He could score on damn near every possession if he wanted. His touch around the rim is dumb and the athleticism at least vertically for his size is great. Struggles defending side to side. I don’t know what it is. He had no trouble with effort at Duke. At all.

I don't know either. When he's bothered to try, he can be a brilliant player but he's only playing hard for maybe two quarters every four games now. So disappointing. This is two straight games he's gotten called out for no effort. Today it was by Steve Reed of the AP. This franchise is eternally hopeless and I'm questioning my commitment going forward. Best-case, you get a crappy rookie who'll play hard but suck. Otherwise, it's a crappy team of guys who won't play hard and who fake injuries. There's no light at the end of the tunnel.

Yay, we're only two days away from Mark sitting out or falling asleep on the court.
