Edit the thread title so it looks normal please.

I’m assuming Miller is out. One of those games we have to have.

I hope the guys come out fired up, they played hard and were so close in Philly. This is a team they should feel like they can redeem themselves against.

Dude is talented, but he may have injury concerns moving forward.

It appears you can take fashioning yourself after Paul George too far.

I hope Lee really thinks through his crappy rotation decisions, and starts making better choices in game. Also hope he constructs the starting lineup as it should be with Miller out. IMO that’s Melo, Miles, Kon, Sexton and Kalk. I want Moose coming off the bench with high energy and production on D. Same with Tre…he isn’t playing well and should not get big minutes. Frankly if James keeps playing such heady ball I could see him as a regular in the key bench rotation.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Got the icky feeling that we lose in a 17 point blow out that kills any early momentum we had to start the season.

Just hoping my draft darling, Tre Johnson, doesn't drop 8 3s on us
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Are the refs on strike? I've seen fouls, moving screens, etc by both teams and absolutely no whistle.

Edit: there it is

Sion is such a great defender. We really did awesome this last draft.

Just a really sloppy quarter of basketball for both sides on both ends.

Going to need someone to step up to help Lamelo. Miles or sexton. Mann is just off right now and Kon isn’t that guy, yet.

Everyone other than lamelo needs to have their paychecks garnished for this game.

I'm fine if he shoots every time down the floor because no one else can be trusted.

Miles and mann specifically just cannot be counted on for consistent offensive production. They can't shoot, so completely dependent on Catching Fire or getting to the rim.

Salaun. Liam. Moose. Kalk. Sion. That's five guys in the rotation who are completely invisible offensively outside of junk baskets.
