Must win. We need this one and the next one BADLY. The two easiest wins on the schedule right now.

Having the exact same player intro format but with Dinwiddie and Clax in KD and Kyries place will always feel weird to me.

It’s Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Bridges game

Bridges has to play the entire 1st. He's killing it right now.

Dinwiddie's decision making and passing is clearly holding our team back. I really thought he was more of a solid PG than this. Claxton has gotten nothing since he's been on the team.

We'd be blowing the Hornets out of the water if everyone aside from Bridges were hitting their shots.

I'm impressed with Bridges ability to carry the offense though. He's far exceeding my expectations there.

We need playmaking in the worst way.

Only way we can generate buckets right now is either in transition through our defense or contested jumpers in the halfcourt. Clax is running the floor but nobody is even pretending they're trying to find hjm

Can you believe Marks turned down 4 firsts for Bridges?

Trust in Sean.

Bridges gets more impressive every passing game.

I like players who show improvement from season to season, and he's definitely one of them. This guy was a 3D guy but he's clearly more than that now. Add to the fact he doesn't miss games and it's clear this guy is a pros pro

If you put Bridges brain in Ben's body that is a first team all NBA guy.

Dear Lord Bridges. What a ridiculous quarter. Get this man the ball.

If you Bridges brain in Bens body you got Kobe Bryant with better defense

If you put Bridges brain in Vaughn body you got Popovic

Give any playground guy with the heart and passion for the game Ben’s talent and height and that playground guy would be in the NBA right now.

Joe is such a mental midget , I promise you he can only hit the threes when we are up or down by 20+ , close game he can’t hit the side of the barn with the ball

when you factor in contract bridges may be one of the top 10-20 assets in the game.

holy crap that trade was robbery. 4 picks and cam j too. wow. talk about a franchise altering move.

find a way to add fvv in the offseason and consolidate some spare parts into a better back up big man and start training camp.

I know we're winning by a lot but these lineups with Seth Curry as the lone guard are ridiculous. That should be Cam.

Part of the reason I don't get why Vaughn is trying to reduce the rotation is because a lot out bench guys are extremely streaky. Curry being one of them and he really doesn't bring enough when he isn't hitting his shots.
