Incredible accent on Moussa. I had no idea what to expect when hearing him speak for the first time, and his blend of Gen Z American English with a subtle French twang didn’t disappoint.

Haven’t seen arms like that on a player since Corey Maggette when he was with the Clippers

I recognized that around December he rounded into shape for the first time since the incident. From then on he has been our most consistent and often best player. Unless we draft Flagg or Bailey there is no point in trading the only guy who can get 20-40 and actually play every night.

averages = 25.6/8.4/3.7
percentages = 44/38/90

this is the Bridges we'd been hoping to see all along. He needs to be able to take over games when LaMelo isn't out there, and his inability/unwillingness to do it the last year and a half has been frustrating.

Cut out a few more 3PA, play some smarter off-ball D, and this is really the best version of him.

Playing like a 40 million dollar player, his contract goes down to 24 million next year.

As good as he has been lately, Miles is still at .54 ts% on the season.

LaMelo is at .535
Brandon Miller is at .540

So our best three scorers are below league average offensively on the year. None of them particularly is great on defense.

Our bench is a combination of cast offs, G leaguer’s, and projects.

We need everyone to give us a complete season of being good or we have to upgrade somewhere

In ideal world raw numbers all drop for Melo, Bridges, Miller, etc, but because they are all playing or even better we add more supplemental pieces around them and behind them the efficiency numbers come up.

Hard for Melo and Miles to be both huge volume scorers and also be efficient, there are like 10-15 guys in the league who are probably capable of that at best.

Sweet spot would be Miller 23 ppg, Melo 22 ppg, Miles 19 ppg with 2-3 other guys hovering around 14 ppg, but when they are constantly playing as the lone wolf they take those extra 5-6 shots per game they shouldn't be.

Tell that man to remove the metal plate from his head. Miles is worth more than Lauri right now.

He's made me hate the Mavs. So I'm happy we fleeced their 2027 1st with only top-2 protection from a team whose loudest cheerleader insisted PJ was worth 2 second round picks.

Miles is trying too hard. Jeff needs to give him the memo

Out of his mind could be a good new title.

Giving him credit without ignoring his mistakes

Love watching Miles play this well. Check out the highlights and hear how the other team’s announcers gush over him. Whatever the reason, he’s focused on his game and it is HIGH VALUE to this Hornets team.

He dedicates himself to his job and stays in shape. He looks peak physical condition. The only Hornet on the whole roster who held up and reached peak mid-season form.

He's been our MVP this season.

He's leading by example plays high minutes and always available.

Miles return to (an even higher) form from his years in the wilderness are with Diabates emergence, the bright spots in this stinker season.

And there were rumors that there were police charges filed between the girlfriend and the ex for getting in a fight recently.
