Bummer, nate33 must’ve gone to the gym. Bad karma. We need someone to post some cheerleader pics to swing the luck back to the New Identity Wizards.

The Hornets are a pretty fortunate team.

Their 6 wins have been by a margin of 1, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 points respectively. Meanwhile their 9 losses have been by 36, 22, 21, 19, 15, 11, 8, 5 and 2 respectively. They rank 26th in point differential but 18th in winning percentage. They're the bizzaro Wizards.

I'm not minding Kutcher so much these days - his voice is pretty good at a minimum. Main thing I'm needing from him is genuine enthusiasm for this particular squad, which I'm not so sure about. Well...at least he's not faking it with being into hoops. High bar, I know.

Unlucky break for Rui on the dunk. Got Washington on the pumpfake. Like what I see so far. Always impressed by how Beal feels his way through the game.

Bryant is so damn good at rolling on the PNR. Amazing how he keeps his balance and finishes with touch.

The Hornets have literally scored every time against Bryant in the pick and roll.

Man, it was a layup line in the 1st quarter. Hornets getting nothing but backdoor cuts for open shots at the rim.

Malik Monk and Devonte Graham are each going to score 40.

The Wizards defense is terrible. But wow, the Wizards offense. The spacing, the ball movement. Just incredible. When Wall comes back he needs to fit into what we have. Imagine if we can get a pg in the draft that can fit this style of offense while not being a liability defensively like IT. It's one thing to shoot 3's when you're not that good at it. But when you have legit 3-point shooters it is a beautiful site to watch.

Wall would love playing with Bertans. You have to let him go if you can get a good pick/asset out of him but I woulda loved to see him and Wall play together

Perhaps, but are we going to get the Wall that slows the ball movement and doesn't move without the ball? Or are we going to get a Wall that's willing to fit into this scheme?

So, like...imagine what this would look like if we played some defense from time to time.
