Great weekend, and great video as always, fellas!
Walker excited about Mark makes me happy idk why 😂
MARK WILLIAMS IS HIM😤😤HIMORTHY
We need to shutdown Melo and Mark or we gon F around and miss out on Scoot🤦🏾
DSJ was that dude! Nick had a good game too!
Tanking is a bad idea. They have to go all out just like the Detroit Lions and be a threat next season.
Management should get rid of all the ball hogs in the team like Bouknight. Everyone should play intelligently which means someone who knows how to pass and when to attack. Team oriented is what i'm saying.
One thing about this team, they know how to diminish your confidence. So Clifford would rather play Thor who's basically been doing cardio the last 5 games but not give bouknight one more shot.
I get his not doing well but give him some experience! Put him in there at least 10min!.
I was with you till you said Bouk needed one more look …. NO ….he needs to become somebody else's problem. Ist round pick, who went lower than he should have, and still stuck in G League … what's his contribution … his value, now?
This winning streak would've been great one month ago, now it's just too late, the play-in is out of reach. Let's keep the best odds to get Wemby or Scoot, they're both all time talents and we can't do much more with this roster
Man fck the pick I just want the young guys to develop for a push next season, if healthy with a starting Mark Williams we could be at least in the hunt for a play-in
Basketball is a game of runs ! Right now we are on a good run. Feel good while we can ! Nothing wrong with being happy for ourselves !
How are you gonna not gonna talk about melo game vs Wolves
Can’t remember the last time we had this much Cody Zeller talk! I do miss the Big Handsome’s energy, but I don’t miss relying on him to be our starting 5 (not to mention all his injuries).
It’s bearded Hayward. Different animal
This is exciting – the pieces are falling in place, get bridges back and a top 3 pick in the draft and the future is freaking bright
Mark is also making clutch 4th quarter plays. Obviously the Outback vs Miami and the block and dunk vs Trea. But he also got clutch blocks against the spurs and a very good defensive block against a great driver in Anthony Edwards with a couple minutes left in that game.
I have no issue with lamelo and mark building chemistry. Also, i dont think thats the main reason they are winning games. They are winning games because the vets they should have TRADED are healthy and stepping up finally. I would rather just be winning wirh the young players recently drafted, win or lose ganes we still win that way.
Pretty sure the team option for 23-24 for Bouknight has already been exercised. 24-25 option will be interesting
Did you really compare Bryce and LaMelo Ball? Are you serious? I hope melo leaves.
I love the winning. It's giving those tank supporters conniptions and fits.
It’s a good listen when there’s actually positive things to talk about and not the hornets losing every game
Here comes pick number #12 again 😂
They are making it hard to end up with w bottom 3 lottery spot.
I want Wembanyama to but would he be a good fit. Who do you think is the best for the hornets in the draft class
Do we have a trade package with Hayward, Rozier, PJ, Oubre or anybody but the future bright with LaMelo, Mark W, Top 4, Bridges, DSJ, Bouknight, Kai Jones, Bryce ?
I have always thought that 3 long perimeter guys, a center that focus on being a rebounding specialist, and a random glue guy would break the nba. To think the Charlotte hornets might have nailed the best center and a very long, high quality sg in the same draft, that fit the Christmas land defensive scheme most coaches dream about, is bonkers to me.
Look at it this way, a center that never backs down on the offencive glass I.e. kennith faried style, may just break this team wide open
Lamelo injured, so they can continue the tank.
🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Agree with you Doug, 💯 MW is exciting, still learning, and the rookie has a great road/career ahead
Hornets have a good team, Hayward has to go and Kai Jones and JB need consistent minutes to develop
