No news as of this morning on BMill’s condition

May be a super hot take and I’ll regret it by 6:45pm tonight (do note, early game time tonight - 6:00 PM start) but it feels like there’s a non-zero chance that Sion James is eventually the Norm Powell/Herb Jones/Dyson Daniels steal of this draft and he was the also ran 4th pick by us. I have absolutely loved what he brings to the floor.

Miller will not play tonight but should be fine soon

I was pretty skeptical of Sion during the pre-season and summer league, but he has had a fantastic start to the season and been a great shot in the arm off the bench.

Where my people at

TheDorkLord

we're here, just having a bad sports weekend

Eastley

Lamelo redemption game in process

TheDorkLord

Hornets last night, App State yesterday, and Panthers today… Hornets need to give me something to feel good about tonight

Eastley

As a Wake fan, I had a bad play but great result day yesterday

TheDorkLord

yep

i wish they would call go obvious travels

cltblkhscoach

I see the Wizards are continuing their hot shooting on us from last year. Smh

GoBobcats24

Charles Lee is getting extremely out coached tonight wow

cltblkhscoach

Need Miles to get going offensively

Eastley

Maybe a bit of a demption game. Really need Melo to play smarter for 48 minutes

tnhornetsfan

Looks like LaMelo has some type of thigh injury. Probably nothing, but BHS (battered Hornets syndrome)

GoBobcats24

He definitely was holding it hopefully what Eastley said

Eastley

Charley Horse? Or Bee Stinger?

GoBobcats24

Also Kon is good af

Eastley

he really is

GoBobcats24

Holy crap like he was ready ready

Eastley

like the steady increase in performance

GoBobcats24

Increase in minutes coming with increase in performance is typically a great sign for anyone let alone a rook

TheDorkLord

loving our rookies

Eastley

Team Sion

3jean

cltblkhscoach

2nd game in a row with a strong 3rd quarter

GoBobcats24

And he is now basically in Brandon Miller's role and looking the part. Exciting stuff

Eastley

the effort is just off the chain this quarter

Oooooohhhhhh! Team SION!

tnhornetsfan

Like this rookie class

Eastley

He's cut up like Cole Slaw is a whole vibe.

Eric has been in his bag tonight lol

Eastley

so has Si-Kon Knames

tnhornetsfan

Love how Sexton attacks the rim. Constant pressure

Eastley

Sion is like a modern day Iguodala (e.g. with a 3-ball)

For all the effort from Tre on defense last night, he's a liability tonight. We need Melo back in.

ah, he's in

TheDorkLord

Miles!

Eastley

oh dear lord that hurt the floor here in my living room

GoBobcats24

Now that looked like Miles Bridges

cltblkhscoach

That's what I'm talking about!

Eastley

Gotta give Melo credit for the effort on D

tnhornetsfan

:fire::fire::fire:

cltblkhscoach

Warm up the bus Wizards

Eastley

We are seeing the value of putting quality players around Melo - this has been a treat. Can spend the energy on defense and not bail out w/ bad shots on O

TheDorkLord

Melo from the Washington Monument

Eastley

Sion has a really, really nice stroke

TheDorkLord

great 2nd half

Eastley

so in our wins, we are averaging 137.5, and holding teams to 115

FoundingHornet

Great game

Eastley

"his shit off the charts" - Melo, just never change my guy

cltblkhscoach

Melo cursing in postgame interviews is comical

I think he's got some remedial media training coming tomorrow lol

tnhornetsfan

It's about 5 1/2 years late

Eastley

nah, what's to remediate, he's not going to change and we're just not ever on national TV. Just have the regional guys put the post games on a delay and we're goodies

cltblkhscoach

All that being said, I did like his answer saying the win was the most important stat

That's growth

Kon is going to be good.

Oooh boy. If melo is going to be a vocal leader like that…oh man. All I can say is get ready, buckle up, and hold onto your ankle braces. Should be fun. Great sign.

Blocked by the CO, what’s it say?

At halftime Melo was really vocal with the team about how everyone was playing. Really let miles bridges have it. Apparently was pretty vocal and intense. It fired up everyone.
