Assuming Leaky Black starts tonight since Nick Smith is banned from the first quarter

Mich_Mercer

Where is Eric Collins? Pretty much the only good thing we have.

tnhornetsfan

Illness? Said he'd be back soon

Lol I forgot Cody Martin exists haha

Eastley

Did we trade Eric Collins?

Any early signs that the players only meeting took?

Mich_Mercer

Doesn’t look like anything has changed.

Eastley

Eh there's good energy. Just shitty defense

Mich_Mercer

I turned it on turning a timeout and they were down 10 or so. Looked better since I turned it on though.

The commentating team is so empty without Eric. Imagine losing him.

But it allowed me to hear something interesting. Dell uses the following names, PJ, Nathan, Nick, and Bridges. He normally calls visiting players by last name, home team by first. Had to be deliberate. Going to track that and see if he's been doing that all along.

What are NO shooting, over 100%?

81% 3PT

ok 75% now

and 70% FG

Eastley

That turbo tax ad was AI created humans right? That looked way too odd

Not necessarily well trained AI at that

Mich_Mercer

Are we going to give up an NBA record tonight. They should have another players only meeting. Why don’t we guard the 3 point line?

Eastley

Was discussed in the players only meeting as how to get Cliff fired, perhaps?

43 pts in the 1st. Great googlymoogly

Eastley

I feel so impatient – the grasshopper

meloFan

GG Go Next

Chef

20 years is very patient

@rodboone

Here's a first: #Hornets TV voice Eric Collins will miss his first game since coming on board in 2015. Collins is ill and won't be calling tonight's game in New Orleans. Comes less than 24 hours after he was named the North Carolina sportscaster of the year, too.

Eastley

L.O.L.

That PJ/Terry exchange is such an epitome of this season

Mich_Mercer

Really good run from PJ

Eastley

The Fighting PJs

So it makes perfect sense Clifford pulls him

Chef

Wait the announcer is on the injury list

Eastley

I swear, he has been screwing his own players for nearly a decade now

Wonder how much PJ cooled off there

meloFan

Nick looks injured

Nice, we got Mensah and PJ for centers…

Mich_Mercer

Oh cool… we don’t have a center now. Too bad we didn’t draft 2 a few years back in the lottery.

That Zion pass was hilarious

Eastley

I don't like our odds of not sustaining more injuries with Zion on a fast break

GoBobcats24

Kogut controlling the halftime spread very nicely there

Wish I didn't notice

Eastley

Ok, will we play both second half quarters?

meloFan

Nick back

GoBobcats24

LAMELO OFF THE BACKBOARD TO HIMSELF KOBE MOVE

Eastley

Is that scored a rebound or assist?

GoBobcats24

A bucket

Eastley

Man, Zion looks as gassed before that stoppage as Shaq on the Celtics

Wonder if players only meetings ever drop guys from the rotation

How many losses in a row is this?

9?

TheDorkLord

Frank makes a showing

Mich_Mercer

Just had a JB / Zeller sighting.

GoBobcats24

17 out of 18 so I think 6 in a row now

Lamelo and Borrego showed each other some nice love after the game
