Who is going tonight and going to be round the Crown club? Had to come home last minute and am going. Staying Uptown at Bohemian if you’re walking by for a drink. It’s a prime time game guys! Hahahaha :cry:

4

We’re 200-level so I don’t believe we have access to those parts. I’m looking forward to a great Brandon game.

5

Cody Martin is back tonight so Miller’s 30 pt game streak is in serious jeopardy

6

Positive thoughts, positive thoughts

7

Interesting to see PJ trying to get BM to get fired up. I’m behind bench and I found that interesting. I think everyone knows if Miller Time gets a mean streak… we may be looking at Paul Pierce with an actual 3 ball game.

8

NSJr time …

9

I think he already has a mean streak.

10

Well I think it’s safe to say Miles showed off tonight. Hopefully there is a 1st round pick coming to us tomorrow for him. My gut feeling is the Knicks will get him.

Brandon is definitely getting "the man" attention defensively

GoBobcats24

Yeah and we are hiding him weakside too much

Eastley

For sure. Getting a lot of love from the Raps

dnbman

Cody look as good as his line?

spectre

Yes

Chef

Cody and miles benefitting from the Brandon attention

spectre

Yup. And Bridges outside shot is just deadly

Chef

Cody and miles playing for the trades tonight fellas!

Alright take Cody out and start taking calls Mitch

Miles with 32 pts. 1 Reb but whatever

+1 2
Mich_Mercer

Miles is trying to make me want to keep him.

I was ready to let him go… but man.

spectre

I’m still ready.

Chef

This is all window dressing mich. This is not worth $25m per year

GoBobcats24

I don't think his market is 25 mil anymore

spectre

Still say he’s not being traded tomorrow

Chef

He's worth $25m a year to team like the Lakers

GoBobcats24

Think it is closer to $20 mil

I mean he might be but they can't sign him for that

So he's not

Chef

He's getting $25 gobob. His agent is the worst. Like I said in the thread I would avoid all clutch players

spectre

his agents are those ruthless MF right? Is it clutch?

Dav

Im telling you guys Hes makes a good fit with Miller and Melo as a big three

spectre

He’s gonna get paid and probably by Detroit or sadly us

Chef

His defense is beyond awful. His IQ is forest Gump like

arrow_up 1
spectre

Hes dumb as rocks Dav

Chef

He's an off the bench heater ideally.

Dav

Just saying he makes for a good 3rd option

TheDorkLord

PJ's audition is not going so well lately

spectre

I mean with a bunch of higher iq guys sure there’s a role. I just don’t see a 25-30 million role

Chef

My daughter just now:
Where's that lamelo guy?

Me: he's on the bench where he always is, hurt

Her: where? See that guy in the ugly blue clothes.

Yeah, that's him

TheDorkLord

BM!

spectre

So smooth

I’m still shocked we got so lucky

Chef

Miller is amazing for a rookie. The raptors made this a tough game and he isn't forcing it. Taking it as the defense makes mistakes

TheDorkLord

Exactly, a lot of young guys would be forcing it

Chef

I am almost not wanting melo to come back. Miller is better without him. Melo is going to have to learn to play second fiddle to setting miller up

Moving terry really opened all that up for everyone to see. Before it was the melo and terry take turns

100 1
spectre

Damn now bridges rebounds everything

Dav

Melo is who we should be trading be for that 200 million contract starts .we could get a nice package for him now

cltblkhscoach

PJ stinking it up

spectre

You’d think he’d be wanting to go back to Dallas

Chef

Be careful dav you are gonna get it

Eastley

Why is nsj not getting more burn?

TheDorkLord

Cliff must not be happy with something in practice. it's disappointing

GoBobcats24

Nah he just doesn't want to play NSJ in 1st and 3rd quarters I bet he will start the 4th

I really hope we trade PJ he is a pretty huge waste of talent

Chef

PJ is like old faithful. Rather than erupting every 15 minutes it every 5th game.

+1 1

Eastley

5 mins and 9pts, my word cliff

GoBobcats24

He passed Bryce in the rotation 2 months ago and Cliff just couldn't stand it

TheDorkLord

I could be wrong, but I believe I heard a quote from Cliff a few weeks ago that said something like he was worried about playing him too much. ugh

spectre

Yup I heard that too

TheDorkLord

this is the year to give him more minutes!

GoBobcats24

I was wrong. We are playing to lose with this lineup lol

spectre

This lineup

omg lol

I bet we don’t score

Dav

is Cliff really this stupid

100 1
Chef

I am all in on budz next year.

GoBobcats24

Me too

spectre

Guess i lost that bet

TheDorkLord

PJ needs to sit

Chef

Miles's last two games may have just gotten Charlotte what they are asking. He is such a a great deal for space tight contender looking for the last piece.

spectre

And as soon as 24 gets in!

Chef

He could seriously be the difference between the Lakers losing to or beating the suns or kings

MurderHornet

God forbid NSJ get some run for this moribund franchise…

TheDorkLord

WTF

Eastley

Will tonight be a win? Will we be able to win by double figures? Will PJ get syrup with that pancake?

That looked brutal AF

spectre

So that’s not a foul?

Chef

Only the hornets can have those first two questions asked in the same lines and it not be ridiculous

Eastley

It's worrisome that we not only are so challenged to get a win or two more the rest of the season but that we could set a record of never winning by 10 or more, I don't want to be at the top of another embarrassing list.

What a dick!

spectre

Would you guys take Collins for a FRP? I’m back and forth

Eastley

Zach, or John, or?

spectre

it’s a lot of money but hed help

jazz john collins

Eastley

Worried you were sending out Eric for a FRP

spectre

Hahaha never

Eastley

Oh My Word, that Brandon pass was amazing

Nick Smith Jr is my hero for getting the ball to Brandon there

spectre

Ice

Mich_Mercer

Damnit… I’m back in! Haha

joy 1
Eastley

so need the ball to touch other hands than miles and Cody

Mich_Mercer

a first and a young player for Miles, or we say no

Eastley

He's not graded at getting anything more that a low SRP. I'd take a 2nd from a team lowly like us (e.g. low-low 30s projected)

Mich_Mercer

but… anytime Cody has it, I close my eyes. I want Miller to be option A

i just feel that is not close to his value. Gotta get more than that.

Eastley

If you can get ANY kind of FRP for miles, take it and freaking sprint IMO

+1 1
Mich_Mercer

I hate what he did, but I also think he’s worth a good bit. I wouldn’t hate resigning him for the right price. That said, it may be just too high and I do like Miller better.

spectre

Ha Brandon does some talking on the court

Eastley

His (miles) on-court IQ is terrible

100 2
Mich_Mercer

Man… he’s lighting it up.

i love Brandon Miller though. It’s his team.

100 1
spectre

He’s never shot so well that’s for sure

TheDorkLord

soccer just broke out

Eastley

and he shot great in the LA game and that ended with him shooting us right out of contention at the end

Chef

Good teams do this with both he and melo

GoBobcats24

Cody Martin hero ball you love to see it

Eastley

they might want to check that backboard for damage (the Scotty Barnes missle)

We just can’t win. I wonder if we ever win again this season.

Eastley

I think we might miraculously play better if we dropped the head of the coaching snake and let this fall to Ty Corbin

Chef

Oh they will win. The lottery. Book it.

Mich_Mercer

I’d die. Haha

Chef

Rotations matter east.

Eastley

so does doing the simple stuff and I feel like this team has sufficient talent to do some of it quasi consistently to eek out a win or two

TheDorkLord

no doubt we will win the lottery

Mich_Mercer

Great pass out of that double team by miller. He has it alll

idk… I feel like it’s games where we are playing well, we lose.

Chef

I don't know. There are a whole lotta players on this team that don't want to and couldn't if they did

GoBobcats24

But we drew up a corner 3 for Cody Martin down 3

joy 1
Chef

It's why we need to clear the deck

GoBobcats24

So yeah thats really bad coaching

Eastley

how many times per game does Nick jump at blocks and take himself out of plays? How many times per game does our 3-5 watch rebounds clank off the rim and neither move toward them or get back defensively? We don't do the very basic things defensively that I imagine we could if given proper reason to do so.

GoBobcats24

Cody Martin 3 incoming lol

Mich_Mercer

Do you guys think Detroit would give us Duren for Miles?

Eastley

Why would they?

Mich_Mercer

Bc.

i want Duren.

And they want Miles?

Eastley

well done Hornets, well done :womp womp:

TheDorkLord

that's my Hornets

Running through Martin at the end was a genius tank move
