Man I’ve missed healthy LaMelo, he really is so damn good. Way too soon to make any determinations about this team but great win tonight, especially without Miller and Mark. With Jordan gone and the front office and coaching overhaul and a ton of young talent this team might actually be on the path towards being legit and a team that could maybe even win a playoff series within the next couple years—unheard of for Charlotte basketball since we lost the original Hornets

Already as many wins as the Panthers lol

How’s Miller progressing? I feel like I’m starting to hear his name more.
He was hurt in the first game of the season and been getting back up to speed slowly the last few games so hard to really say. Last year he was a stud and I would say expectations are high for him.

LaMelo has been playing like a top 5 player in the league but we really need Mark Williams to get healthy. Missing him and now Richards too just makes it extremely tough for this team on both ends of the floor. The bench is way better than last year and I like the new coach so far.

I think the Hornets probably finish somewhere 7-10 in the East and hopefully get into the playoffs through the play in round. Maybe higher if Mark comes back somewhat soon and actually stays healthy but honestly I have just about zero hope for that to ever happen.

I wanna be back in now that we have an organization that seems to know what it's doing, but I got a hard time looking past the fact that they still employ a girlfriend strangler. Mebbe they'll trade him this season and I can stomach watching again.

Ball and Miller are wasting their careers here
Nah, give it time with the new leadership in place. Brand new ownership, front office, HC. And we've been missing Miles, Mark, Richards, Mann and Grant is out for the year. This team is finally being built the right way it's just going to take a year or two. Hell, I would absolutely not rule out turning around this season once fully healthy.

You're probably right. Last night was like watching the Borrego Hornets, close but no cigar.
