Charlotte Hornets
Record: 5-2
Pace: 102.2 (8) OffRtg: 114.6 (2) DefRtg: 110.9 (27) NetRtg: +3.8 (7)

The Hornets’ game against Portland on Sunday was the first of their seven that they didn’t trail by double-digits. But they were down seven at the half before outscoring the Blazers, 72-53, over the final 24 minutes. Through Week 2, Charlotte has been outscored by 14.2 points per 100 possessions (the league’s third worst mark) in the first half of games, but is a +25.6 (the league’s best mark by a healthy margin) in the second half. And that’s with LaMelo Ball having shot much better before halftime (effective field goal percentage of 60.7%) than he has after it (39.3%).

The Hornets rank as both the league’s best third-quarter team (+27.8 points per 100 possessions) and its best fourth-quarter team (+23.3). One of the other two teams that ranks in the top six in both quarters is the Warriors (fourth and sixth), who the Hornets will visit on Wednesday, the start of a five-game trip.

If we can manage to go 3-2 on this road trip that would be fantastic.

Because it's on National TV it's blacked out on my LP, so I would have to wait until around 1:00am before I could start watching on delay.

I love me some Hornets, but that ain't happening.

I didn't know that either.

I wish we were a first half team so I could watch us smoke teams then go to bed and miss the inevitable comeback. I don't want to watch us go down on national TV and have to stick around to see if we make a game of it.

We should be able to play small tonight with dray at 5, when they go small. PJ has chance for a big night.

But curry is gonna murder us.

Hope oubre doesn't try to hard to show up his old team.

Dubs have Curry and all but they don't have a 7-footer. Hornets win!
