Very satisfying win. Rozier has arrived. Youth are playing above expectations. Rozier seized ownership of his leadership role. He looked unstoppable.

Could tell how young we are at the end. Team nearly **** the bed. Lesson learned and a good win. Curry got hurt tonight and the Warriors are already bad enough as it is. Could be 3-3 after Saturday which i would have considered insane after first seeing the schedule and this dauntinf west coast trip

Tuned in late and was surprised to see them up double digits. It got a little sloppy there at the end, but it seemed like we were in control anyway and got up too much even for sloppiness to cost us the game. Do the Kings have injuries or are they just not very good?

Bagley and Giles are hurt, and Luke Walton is an abysmal coach

7 of the 8 players that played more than five minutes hit double figures. The exception was Bacon, who recorded 3 points on 1-8 shooting (1-4 from 3).

Bacon had a hard time finding teammates as well. JB sees what we see. First sub was Devonté for BAC

I'm torn on Marv as he is a great mentor but also probably our most tradeable vet, so a part of me also would like to see what we could get for him.

Was only able to catch bits and pieces on my phone as I made $2,400 from a $45 investment in a local poker tournament (and +$50 by betting Hornets +7.5 8-) ) ... but I'm really excited about this young squad so far. Didn't seem too long ago where we were all doom and gloom immediately post-Kemba (understandably), but we now have hope! Really exciting style of basketball, and regardless of how this season turns out, the future looks much more promising than what we anticipated coming into 2019-2020.

3J is the right nickname for Washington. He has really, really put in some work on his jumper. When he catches the ball he squares up quickly with no wasted motion and when it goes in it's usually nothing but net.

Damn, I wish I didn't have a cold so I could've stayed up to watch that like I planned. Sounded like it was the very definition of a team win.

I actually like Bacon's aggressiveness and ability to force the action...but yeah he struggles to make even rudimentary reads when moving the ball.

He would be such a more valuable player if his passing improved.

I am enjoying the season thus far. Got to see the opening win and other then the game Zeller was out, they have competed every night. We need to be bad to get an actual high lottery pick for once but this team has definitely some heart and is competing every night. Probably a rookie wall coming eventually but I like this squad a lot.

Those 1.9 seconds were Bacon in a nutshell to me.

Yes continue to move more minutes to Monk and eventually start him to get meshed with the young guns.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
