The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I was driving for a while yesterday so I listened to a bunch of sports talk radio. They were very “Miller vs Scoot was a toss up” for the most part. But at the end of both shows, each and every participant acknowledged “Scoot can’t shoot.” Miller definitely can.

I don’t know. Acting like a 19 year old who can’t shoot, and who didn’t contribute to winning, is a sure thing? I feel like we’ve seen this undersized-but-athletic-but-can’t-shoot-PG thing before.

And … don’t the Hornets have LeMelo? 23 and 8?

Best player shoes I've ever worn was a pair of Shaq shoes. Those things kicked ass.

I've got a pair of original Adidas KB8s that I really like. Carried to and from the gym; never touched the ground outside. Been sitting in my closet for 15 years. I've debated starting to wear them out, but there's something about breaking the mystique of a "gym only" shoe that has kept me from doing so, even though the odds of wearing them in a gym again are low.

LaMelo couldn't shoot his draft year either. He shot 25% from the 3 point line and 38% from the field his draft year... that is like really bad. Especially for a guard.
 
Mark Williams is the real friggin deal. Also Brandon Miller has been very clutch in the 4th. This team with Bridges could be a legit top 6 seed in the East finally…
 
The Hornets lost by 16 at home to the dead-last 1 win Washington Wizards.

Jury is still out on these new owners but they are in a worse situation than Dundon was in 2018. Some similarities but overall the Hornets historically are worse and the overall interest is low.

They sell Lavar’s BBB shoes at game? The reason why Lonzo’s knees are messed up for Bulls.
 
hate him all you want for the off court stuff but man what a clutch finish and a big welcome back for Miles Bridges. LaMelo absolutely dominated and has been arguably the best player in the entire NBA the last couple weeks.



Great efficiency in those 8 games too

Need some of these contracts (Gordon Heyward) to end and we'll see what Kupcheck w/o Jordan does for the future.

I'm not so sure Kup will survive this offseason. We'll see how the rest of the season plays out of course but I would bet him and Clifford are both gone. Kup has done a great job with getting us young talented core players in Melo, Mark, Miles, Miller and even PJ but he hasn't done a good job of getting role players to build around them. 2021 draft was an absolute disaster, Hayward signing/trade was bad and Rozier signing not great either. I know we've had some injuries but our bench this year wouldn't even be a great starting squad in the G league. That's a Kup failure. I think we need a new GM and coach to take this core to the next level. I suspect he may retire vs. getting fired however.

Good call. New owners will have some decisions to make.
