Happy birthday baby Branson 🫶🏾
Love what I've seen so far but Micic is the odd man out. Dude doesn't fit
Micic wants to be a starting point guard which he'll never be in Charlotte. Might as well move him if you can get some reasonable value for him. He doesn't fit the team's timeline so I would expect him to be elsewhere by the trade deadline. His minutes need to go to Mann.
I am irrationally optimistic, to the point where it almost feels rational.
Happy born day to the baby Brandon
S/o to Dougs Baby! 🎉
I'm very ok with Vasa micic getting traded and giving those min to nick Smith Jr and Tre Mann
I was really wrong about liking Micic and his game and wanting him on the team apparently 🤦🏻 my bad guys.
🔥
Tre Mann: I'm not going to win the 6th man of the Year award because I'm not a defensive player I'm a offensive player. Coach Lee: If you play for me, you will be a defensive player, I'm going to make you a all around player!
After watching consistent competent hornets hoop finally, Micic “forgetting” how to play basketball/ruining his nba career and Nick Richards out of position again 15:24 I know it’s not a figment of my imagination for sure
I'm very cautiously excited about this team and year. I know it's only the preseason but to beat Miami and Memphis and only lose by 2 to the Knicks, in past years preseason or not, they would be blowouts by the end of the game. I can tell a big difference from this year to last year and finally have owners that care and front offices and coaches that are competent and know what they are doing out there.
Tre Mann is going by the SGA play book of midrange shots. Once he learns to the line more consistent, he will be even more potent.
Trey Mann or Stevie Francis
Tre is 6man spark off the bench starting lineup is fine
Vasa look out of shape.
Is it just me or does salauns shot look a lot smoother than on his overseas tape?
IS THERE ANY UPDATES ON CENTER MARK WILLIAMS
Hopefully at the worst the Hornets make the play-in , the moves the Hornets made this off-season to me are impressive. Starting Five Lamelo Ball, Josh Smith, Brandon MIller, Miles Bridges, Nick Richards to start the season,
I remember super tired Doug saying he just had a baby. Can't believe it's been 3 years. Happy Birthday to your little one Doug.
Very curious why you asked if Grant was a good defender. I went back and watched his minutes, stuck with bane and blocked his shot and neutralized Eady
Just watching the play by play on the app and boxscore seeing lamelo with 0 on everything straight away I was like uh oh what's happened but a rest is good and the boys stepped up without him miller time baby ❤
Tre Mann showing us exactly how we SHOULD’VE used Terry Rozier… and likely how Miami will end up using him
Let tre. Cook.
1. The offense becomes infinitely better when Melo and Tre are both on court together.
2. This is a contract year for Tre, the Hornets could stick him on the bench and limit his production just so it won't demand a huge deal. This is not how an organization earns a reputation to attract free agents. Let the mann play.
STANGINNNNNN im so glad stangin has stuck around. One of the best moments of Doug gold.
