Knueppel is Charlotte's best player. Easily too. His shots are mostly good shots. His teammates? Opposite.

That is exactly what im talking about. What an asinine shot by Ball. Reset the whole damn thing. Fire the entire coaching staff. All of them. Hire Thibs. Fire the entire front office, except for the sole person who said draft Kon.

Trade almost everyone for picks. Entire reset.

I hope opportunity doesn't dwindle with Miller back.

Charlotte has a lot of chuckers.

Don't forget about his awful defense as well!

Not until the 6min mark did he even get a shot in the 3rd quarter.

I have no words. Haven't really watched a ton of the Hornets, but good grief.

Yup. If I’m the Hornets I’m looking for a clean break. Basically everyone that was on the roster prior to this season, if you can bring back positive value in a trade, I’m making that deal.

They need a change on court and complete culture change off of it.

I was going to question if the Hornet should keep doubling Harden, and then he hits a stepback 3 plus the foul.

Its what Troy Weaver did, when he got the job with Detroit. Cleaned house, and did it in record time.

Kon reminds me a little of Devin Booker.

26 points on 9-12 shooting for Kon.

Hornets aren’t making the playoffs this year. Start giving this guy 15+ shots a game minimum

Ya I think this is a great chance to just clean house, turn the page.

Melo and Bridges for sure needs to go. I also wouldn’t be locked in on Brandon Miller either. He’s a gunner and he seems to be struggling to stay healthy. I think he has pretty high value with him still being on his rookie deal.

Ya I’d try to move all 3 guys and really kick start a new era

Harden and Kon made that game pretty entertaining, what a game from the beard. The rest of the Hornets roster just looks like a bunch of tattooed IG influencers trying to play basketball.

Winners
Clippers: Void
Knicks: Brunson 26pts 7asts 5rbs
Pistons: Cade 28pts 8sts 7rbs
Mavs: Flagg 23pts 7rbs 6asts
Nuggets: Jokic 28pts 13rbs 12asts
Bulls: White 22pts 5rbs 4asts
Hawks: Johnson 25pts 7rbs 6asts

Didn't realize the Clips and Hornets started so early but I would've picked the Clippers. I hope Ivey makes his season debut tonight for the Pistons.

What the... Why is this game so early? For once a game is not in the middle of the night in this time zone and I don't realize it until 40 seconds left in the game.
