2024-25 Hornets General Discussion

Often injured, inconsistent play, unrealized potential… I’d say he has a 99.9% hornets DNA match

We are often on the same page chef, my thoughts exactly. Sigh. Very much hornets dna.

Anyone want to do a HP ncaa bracket challenge? Would have to get it rolling here in the next few days. I can try my hand at making a group for us

Well, just so that you know. UNC is +24000 to win the national championship. So a $5 bet renders a $1,200 win.

So in short, I was dying to burn $5. But. If it does happen, I’ll have a great story. And use the $1,200 towards charlotte hornets season tickets for next season when our hornets team also defies all odds and wins the nba finals.

Anyways, Carolina will lose by 15 tonight.

Kids got talent. Peterson! I expect much better drafting from now on

I remember liking him pre-draft. Not saying I would have drafted him, but I liked him.

Edit:
Didn’t he hit a game winner vs Brandon in a rising star game?

He was the guy I wanted but if we drafted him he’d be in a body cast or under the bench with the Swarm…

I bought a nick smith jr rookie card for my sports card collection and now when he wins mvp 10 times and wins 10 championships all with the hornets i will sell the card and buy a mansion

Do you guys think Charles Lee has had a significant impact on Miles Bridges this year?

He did not shoot the ball as well as some other years, but, on a per (played) possession basis, he’s at all time highs in points, assists, rebounds, and free throw attempts, along with shooting a fantastic free throw percentage. Getting to the line to make the easy points(free throws) is theoretically what older, smarter players learn to do. Age-wise, he’s somewhere around the beginning/middle of an NBA prime. Will we see the emergence of a wiser, craftier Miles?

Thoughts?

I think Charles Lee has been good for basketball decisions generally. I think his style expects or depends on at least competent distance shooters by and large but he has guys - generally - in all the right spots to make positive impacts w/ the exception of the odd respect our centers give in drop coverage. Our issues to me seem to be a severe lack of competence and execution, and execution could be the issue w/ the drop coverage too.


There it is, we aren’t making the playoffs after all. Shoot, and all the collective well-wishing from the fan base couldn’t get us over the flagg, I mean hump.

He could be making a difference, but it could just be Miles maturing as a man and as a player. Losing a full year of basketball and dealing with his personal issues set him back pretty bad. I think we might just him becoming what he was meant to become. But I’m sure having a coach that can help him grow helps.
