I hope it lights a fire under him and he puts up 20 and 20.

  1. I would love to see Melo and the boys keep feeding Mark the basketball all fucking game.

  2. I want to see mark Williams shoot a three

  3. I want to see Mark have a huge 30/20 game. Because if he does, I’d bet we can quickly start to put this drama in the rear view mirror.

Oookay guys, I forgot this game stats at 10:00pm. I’m not super keen on that start time…but my hate for the lakers and desire to see Melo and mark go nuts on the lakers brings me joy. And I just may stay up and pay the price tomorrow.

Also, fuck Lebron James for having the audacity to wait until 5 hours before the all star game to announce his “injury absence”. All I know is that he better be listed on the injury report tonight in some capacity. If he can’t go for a brief, glorified scrimmage-how can he not be on the injury report for this game? I hate saying this because it’s so corny. But Michael jordan would’ve never pulled that shit. Are you kidding me? That’s such a soft (and selfish) move. Someone else could’ve taken his spot.

There’s nothing anyone can say to me that would make me believe Lebron at any point, planned on actually playing in the all star game. I’m not a Lebron hater by any means, but that’s a classless move in his part, objectively.

Anyways. Fuck the lakers. Please, mark. Make them pay tonight.

I believe Hornets Law implies that he will have an incredible first quarter and then go down with an injury.

But I am sitting here humming and concentrating, trying to MANIFEST a better scenario…

Did Lamelo just go to the locker room??

screw the lakers and their refs.

Looks like Lakers are at full strength tonight

The hoop we are shooting at seems extra stiff, everything is bouncing out.

powellrmp

I just want to say that I think Lebron James is SO brave for playing tonight. Wow, so brave

He’s such a tough player. Does this make him the GOAT? lol

What a hero

Did lamelo just go to the locker room?

Not just go but jog

tnhornetsfan

Looks like it

Mich_Mercer

He looked like he was limping a little too…. Someone get him some Jordans.

tnhornetsfan

Back on the bench

That's a block

Mich_Mercer

What an awful call… of course

meloFan

Can’t believe we didn’t challenge

I don’t hate nurkic threes, they are good looks

tnhornetsfan

Need Mousse to rebound if we're going to shoot this bad

GeraldWallaceMVP

LaMelo is ridiculous man

meloFan

Will Mark show up for his own revenge game?

Do we really think NSJ Jeffries Payton is a good lineup? Put seth i there at least

Mich_Mercer

Finally getting it going. It’s been so sloppy.

I don’t think our 20 and 20 for Mark is happening. lol

But a pretty good game overall from him so far

So is Moussa out of the rotation now? I thought we might see him at PF? Kind of a bummer there.

tnhornetsfan

I wonder if they're holding him out tonight and Mark out tomorrow?

I doubt they’d hold Mark out. I don’t think he’s hurt. They play on Thursday.

Edit: I thought today was Tuesday. Haha my bad.

Miles has been good tonight.

Lebron is such a pussy.

We better get this ball in and make our free throws… or we are going to lose.

I think we win, there is no way Lebron splashes another one

Man I know you are a new Hornets' fan. Never say that shit again

Nope… he’s not that great of a shooter. I wish they’d stop talking about him… he annoys me so much. lol

meloFan

That’s it

we win

Suck on that Lakers! Punk ass jerks

Mich_Mercer

My goodness. Left him wide open.

GeraldWallaceMVP

I’m not a LeBron hater but it feels like we almost never beat him so add that to reasons to be happy

Mich_Mercer

I am a hater… but yeah… we hardly ever beat a team he’s on. lol

HOF level post right there

Nurk with the interesting line. 8 reb, 7 ast, 1 to, 1 st, 2 blk, 18 mins. We can use that.

That one was worth staying up late for. Ugly game but good to see the guys grit it out, especially given the story line. And the cherry on top was seeing Lebron miss the two 3s at the end.

Won’t read too much into it because most everyone on both teams stunk it up shooting the ball last night, but Luka just doesn’t look like the same player when he can’t dominate the ball. I’m sure they’ll figure if out and it won’t be this bad all the time, but I think people were right to question the fit between he and Lebron.

Edit to say this was also a nice statement game for Lamelo after the all-star snub.

He also had pretty good looks from the 3, that were unfortunate misses. I think he can average 7/7/7

I thought LaMelo played fairly well, except for the usual ill advised 3s. Bridges came on late. Not sure what the thinking/plan is for Mousse. Perhaps they’re giving him an extra day for his face to recover or maybe mark rests tonight and Mousse plays. :person_shrugging:

I would love to see Mousse with Nurkic, where Nurkic could provide 3pt spacing, and Mousse on the rebound.

Been thinking the same

Wait, that team has defensive coverages?

LOL maybe they actually have an elaborate “system” to make up for their complete lack of defensive capabilities.
