Oh well, I purchased the monthly single team League Pass option last night so I could see this. Might not be able to watch it live, so the on demand capability is important. Being out of state I don’t have any blackouts on Hornets games.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

The excused absence for Plumlee for missing the first week of camp has to be one of three things;
1. Serious illness of wife, child or family member (or Plumlee himself)
2. Plum can’t decide if he wants to do this anymore
3. Hornets are working to complete a trade that would include Plum

Bizarre. If he bails or gets cut, any other possible options out there to sign?
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Well at least melo Hive is happy for 5 minutes. I'm sure if that clip didn't end up with melo taking the three he wouldn't have been as excited. Had to unfollow him last year.

Odd we list Miller as guard and kon as forward. Doesn't really matter I guess.

Has the live feed shown up for anyone yet? I'm just kidding a black box when I hit refresh. Hopefully it turns on once the live action starts.

Definitely seem to be playing a step faster in transition and after meat baskets. Other thought... threes will be taken... Less ISO pick and roll nonsense at the top of the key to start.

No movement off ball when Sexton has the ball. He's a ball stopper.

Getting out played by the Thunder GLeague team

Return to Charlotte Hornets
