GDT: Charlotte Hornets and other NBA talk

[HisIceness]

I know we are all very excited about the NBA starting the new season tonight so let's not hold it in.

 

[HisIceness]

I really don't want to see that Gordon Heyward injury again, that was brutal.

Would also like to point out that the Carolina Hurricanes have more wins than the Golden State Warriors

 

[HisIceness]

The Phoenix Suns might be more poorly run than the Kings, and that is saying something.

 

[HisIceness]

I cheered for them in 2016 and last season but, lol Cleveland.

ughh, how can you even cheer for them

 

[HisIceness]

ughh, how can you even cheer for them

I mean, it's not like the Browns are ever going to deliver that city a Championship

btw, when I say "cheer", I mean when they played GS in the Finals.

hahaha, that`s true

Oh, I can understand that, many people were hating each other because of that Finals

 

[HisIceness]

I was in the same building as LeBron James tonight. It was pretty cool.

 

[HisIceness]

Damn Celtics just won't lose

 

[HisIceness]

This NBA player has a bigger NHL jersey collection than you

Mike Scott of the Washington Wizards loves NHL jerseys. Has one for every NHL team. This is his 'Canes jersey.

 

[HisIceness]

The Chicago Bulls just recorded their 4th win of the season out of 24 games.

Their last win before tonight came against the Hornets. Tonights win comes against....... Yep, the Charlotte Hornets.

Yes, the Charlotte Hornets just gifted the God-awful Chicago Bulls their 4th win of the season, about 3 weeks after giving them their 3rd win. Sound familiar?

it's contagious

Damn, the Hornets are bad (not that I've seen any games like ever). I thoght they would make the playoffs pretty east in the weak Eastern. Can only imagine how it would be if they play in the West.

That balance of power is shifting. Not completely .... but the East is no longer what it was (terrible). And the West has gone backwards.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

yeah the east is very solid these days. the cavs aren't even the clearcut best team anymore

 

[HisIceness]

I mean, the East is getting better but I still think at the end of the year it's going to be LeBrons playground. Maybe next year Boston (ugh, do we really need the Celtics to become a powerhouse again?) takes over, or hell maybe Milwaukee with their young talent makes a run at it.

At least in the West, it looks like the Rockets could give Golden State problems. I'm not feeling that with Boston against Cleveland, at least not yet.

 

[HisIceness]

Sixers are quite fun to watch today. Knicks are too for that matter, Porzingis is one hell of a player.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

love watching porzingis

I think the bucks are my favorite team to watch in the league these days. they play a very exciting brand of ball

[Navin R Slavin]

I follow the Sixers for two reasons:

1. I trust the process.

2. Big Baller Ben is the best logo in sports.

 

[HisIceness]

Absolutely loving the dumpster fire that is the Los Angeles Lakers. At this rate they will become the NBA's Edmonton Oilers minus the picks (Their 1st rounder belongs to Boston for some reason?) in no time.

But please ESPN and LaVar Ball, keep telling us how LeBron and Paul George are locks for playing there.

 

[HisIceness]

With the news that Kemba Walker is likely to be traded, well here is why. The novelty of the Hornets re-branding has worn off, and no star player will sign here. At least the tickets will be cheap so thats cool.

Notes to owners everywhere, don't be like Mike.

 

[RodTheBawd]

With the news Dwight Howard is on the Charlotte Hornets, I clearly stopped following the NBA closely 20 some years ago.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

the hornets obsession with drafting tall white guys has killed them

also losing the draft lottery and missing out on AD when they had the worst record in the history of the league to the former-hornets and ending up with MKG set them back a lot. they would have been better off drafting anyone else aside from MKG that year. just stars drafted all around the #2 pick.

 

[HisIceness]

The NBA still owned the New Orleans team at that time, I think. That was shortly after the Chris Paul to Lakers trade was nixed. I wasn't surprised at all when they won that lottery.

Anthony Davis would of ended up leaving anyways just like he will with the Pelicans but yeah, that one stung, literally.
