From Yahoo! Sports

The New York Knicks will return home for the second game of a back-to-back as they host the Charlotte Hornets at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

Both teams have played below the total lately, including against each other, which is why I’m taking the Under in my Hornets vs. Knicks predictions.

Keep reading for a full analysis of tonight’s matchup in my free NBA picks for Wednesday, December 3.

Sexton and Kalkbrenner hurt. LaMelo possibly hurt? Build a new arena somewhere that’s not on an ancient burial ground of some sort.

Salaun back to greensboro pls

Mich_Mercer

These turnovers are insane

Like we can’t even catch the ball. I’m so sick of this team.

TheDorkLord

not fun

Mich_Mercer

How are we always this bad. I just don’t understand.

Like… for years.

GoBobcats24

How is Bridges worse than Tidjane suddenly

Aaaaand game

Bout to be down at least 15

TheDorkLord

I despise Brunson and this soccer style basketball

we suck

Mich_Mercer

I love how we talk about how ready we are to show who we are….

Maybe this is Hornets DNA.

GoBobcats24

We finally held a team under 30 in the first quarter

And we scored 12 pts lol, looked like we had never played offense

Mich_Mercer

lol I don’t even know why I watch this. No reason to.

I’m ready to trade Lamelo and Brandon Miller at this point. I’m just so over it. I was so pumped for this season to.

dnbman

I will admit that I don't know what I DO want. But I can tell you what I don't want and that's a revolving cast that never develops an identity or momentum.

Honestly… Kalk is so slow on defense. I think he’s become overrated.

But we need to get rid of guys who can’t stay on the floor. I’m just so tired of it. We need more Kons this team. Not guys that are too cool for school.

+1 1
dnbman

I'm prepared to give Kalk some time to develop and get adjusted to NBA speed. Some of that will come with experience of reading NBA offenses.

Mich_Mercer

I hope so. He seems to be getting worse as the season goes on.

But Brandon Miller is still the guy I’m most excited about, but I’m losing patience

dnbman

I think it's teams prepping for him more.

Same on Miller.

Maybe tonight will be a breakout Liam game.

Mich_Mercer

Like we don’t have an offense. We just give it to a guy and he tries to do it on his own

Where is the coaching?

GoBobcats24

We have the most discouraging scoring lineups in the league

Mich_Mercer

We are just lazy as well.

Like too lazy to run the offense.

GoBobcats24

Anytime Bridges is on the court it's a black hole

And now he's hurt

Maybe not

Mich_Mercer

Is Miller hurt again or is he still out for should injury management? How does he go from this to one game and then hurt the next game?

I’m numb to guys getting hurt now. All it’s going to take now is for Kon to get hurt, and I’m canceling my fan duel.

GoBobcats24

His body was so shocked by the back to back he has to sit awhile lol

Mich_Mercer

This is sad

We are awful. Just forfeit this game

GoBobcats24

Liam def has gotten better

Mich_Mercer

He has. About the only one

dnbman

Maybe we should change our name from the Charlotte Hornets to the Charlotte Fallout Boys. Eyeliner night would be good family fun.

joy 1
Mich_Mercer

3 on 1 and we can’t score

Like we can’t play defense… we can’t play offense. What do we do well?

TheDorkLord

rest

rofl 2
dnbman

How have Kon's looks been? 1-7 so far

GoBobcats24

10/30 3/17 from 3

Mich_Mercer

Stop shooting 3s. Why is the nba game today just guys shooting 3s? It’s so annoying. lol

And they say it’s harder today… sure.

I want Kon to shoot the ball

GoBobcats24

That's the secret Charles Lee offense

joy 1
Mich_Mercer

Do what all the other idiots do on the team.

These guys need to get into planet fitness…. Speaking of that ad

Lamelo doesn’t even look like he cares when I look at him.

I’m tired of saying 3 rookies on the floor and Lamelo Ball.

All these rookies and Tijaun. lol sad

dnbman

Just bad night?

Mich_Mercer

I don’t know

I’m looking at my phone

They have bored me… I’ll put it down and watch. But it’s painful

There you go.

dnbman

6 quick points from 3s after those comments.

Just saying.

Mich_Mercer

Maybe that’s what it takes

GoBobcats24

Kon has had good looks, couple tough ones

Mich_Mercer

This team sucks

dnbman

We're the problem. Use the chat.

GoBobcats24

Putting lts of pressure on the rim though

He has had 2 layups go in and out too

Mich_Mercer

I just wish coach would set stuff up around him.

GoBobcats24

Nah evidently that's not allowed

Mich_Mercer

I feeel like Kom gets his points naturally in the game… and not bc of coaching.

GoBobcats24

Like just use the guy as a 3 level scorer for real

Mich_Mercer

Yep

GoBobcats24

Yes within the flow of the game for sure, other than out of timeout 3s

Mich_Mercer

Cant believe it’s only 9. We should be down 30

Love the midrange game. I miss that in today’s game. Glad Kon does that

Then Lamelo shoots that awful 3

dnbman

Shout out to Sion with 8 points.

Suddenly 3 point game.

Don't go into the locker room. Just keep playing through half time.

TheDorkLord

jeez

dnbman

I hate all Jalens

Mich_Mercer

lol

TheDorkLord

and that is how you don't finish a half

Mich_Mercer

That is Hornets basketball and you’re going to like it!

Of course that would happen bc we can’t get a shot off at the end of the quarter

tnhornetsfan

Missed the first half. By reading the comments, not playing well. Down by around 20 at one point. How is it a 6 point game? Did NY fall apart like a $10 suitcase?

GoBobcats24

Hornets played a different game in the 1st and 2nd quarters

Lamelo is looking more like Lamelo tonight

Honestly we just started putting the ball in Kon's hands every possession and good things happened

Wait HOLD UP Lamelo is back???

This is closer to the guy I know ish

Mich_Mercer

Loved that hustle rebound by Lamelo there

Oh great. Now Sexton is hurt. Why so many injuries for this team?

This lineup we have is insane. G league lineup.

What is Lee thinking?

meloFan

He must be a French man waving that white flag

Yup 4 gleaguers and kalk

GoBobcats24

So we just sat Kon 1 minute into the quarter?

What the hell is happening

Here's what's happening. I need Kon to have 3 threes and miles to have 20 pts and my 5 legger hits. So naturally garbage time will not produce these results.

And between Kon and $2 bets thats all I have left with the hornets

Mich_Mercer

Well… Kalk is hurt now too. We have given him chronic ankle issues I bet.

Good thing we drafted Jalen Duren a few years back so we don’t have to see Plumlee.

Chef

Oh come on mich if duren was a hornet he would be on the bench right now with a strained left eye socket

GoBobcats24

Evidently if you land ON someone's foot it isn't a reckless closeout

Mich_Mercer

Yeah… you right. Haha

Good thing to take away… is Lamelo back?

Seems that way.

TheDorkLord

my wife used to watch games with me, but she hated the way the games were called so bad she just won't watch much anymore

Mich_Mercer

Next game… we need this Lamelo. Seems the minute restriction is lifted??

GoBobcats24

This is Lamelo Ball when he can feel his right ankle evidently

Let's get a couple months of this

Mich_Mercer

Next game…. Lamelo out: “shoulder management” just in case.

TheDorkLord

Collin, Kalk, Melo, and Brandon will need to sit next game

Mich_Mercer

lol yep

I love it man. I really do.

They are gonna go cut lamelos arm off now.

TheDorkLord

I've not started looking at Tankathon yet, but I'm about ready

Mich_Mercer

Didn’t we do this last season? And the year before that…

Lamelo finally looking like Lamelo again tonight: Hornets Law - hold my beer

We are going to start KJ Simpson next game. lol
