They are literally making sure not to involve Kon early and that is not working

cltblkhscoach

Getting it going now

tnhornetsfan

That's better. Started a little flat.

I didn't see Coby on the bench. Is he available?

meloFan

he is coming in

1

cltblkhscoach

Pacers are annoying. Random ass dudes

1

meloFan

I think we are also experimenting, that has to do with it

I would like to see Melo Kon at the same time, and Bmill with a different crew

GoBobcats24

IDK why we can't defend the first 5 mins of any game lol

Mich_Mercer

Haven’t been following. Just started watching. What is happening? We should blow these guys off the court.

GoBobcats24

We are giving up easy looks at the rim and they are making shots

Pacers 30th in O rating we make them look like they are going to finals again. Gotta lock down 2nd quarter and go into the half with a double digit lead

They heard me

Pacers are making some crazy shots

powellrmp

Stuck with the pacers feed. Lots of great quotes from their duo

tnhornetsfan

We look so much better with LaMelo on the floor.

powellrmp

Fortunately, all the advanced stats on earth support this. Despite what most nba fans think of Lamelo

“The 76ers are a much better offensive team than the hornets” was my favorite

Anyone else stuck with the pacers feed? I’m free steaming. Lots of hilarious quotes from their duo I should’ve mentioned

1

tnhornetsfan

Hopefully Coby gets settled in and the offense will hum when he's on the floor

meloFan

This was the 5 I wanted on the floor

powellrmp

Such smooth offense

meloFan

When we sub out, I rather have Coby, BMill, Miles, Moussa, And Whoever (I guess Green)

powellrmp

Kalk to Ball to Grant looked nice

Mich_Mercer

I’m not sure if I’ll ever watch a game with Eric Collins and Dell again. Watching the Pacer broadcast. Anyone have better luck?

TheDorkLord

someone told the guys it was the 3rd quarter

1

Mich_Mercer

And you’re welcome guys. Pretty much went on a 16-0 run since I posted. Lol

powellrmp

You’re an honorary assistant coach mich. The hornets staff uses AI and analytics a ton. Why not use this data also?

Let Mich cook

1

dnbman

Everybody say "Thank you, Mitch."

It's wild how quickly we can go on these runs.

2

Mich_Mercer

And how quickly we find ways to not score for long periods at times. lol

We just see the team who knows how to play lately.

I feel like everyone thinks my name is Mich. but it is Michael. lol

dnbman

What happened to Mtich?

WE WANT MITCH BACK!!!

Mich_Mercer

Kupchick?

Ok… I’ll be Mich or Mitch. It’s fine. lol

meloFan

That is horsecrap

Refs are absolutely atrocious when it comes to us

tnhornetsfan

So they're saying that the defense is not entitled to their own space?

That's an offensive foul in my opinion

1

powellrmp

That was a really funny clip via the pacers broadcast. Of Grant to the ref. And Lamelo putting his arm around the ref and goofing

Ref was laughing and joking with Melo too. I love melo’s infectious joy sometimes.

Hahaha heard “nahhhh fuck no!!” Come through the live audio after the foul call to nullify Moussa’s dunk. Sounded like Melo.

cltblkhscoach

Only 12 points given up in the 2nd quarter

dnbman

If we have a 3rd like we've been having lately, this is going to become a laugher.

meloFan

Coby can use the practice to warm up to the team, and Tre to warm up in general, so it would be good

cltblkhscoach

Coby definitely needs some extended time

GoBobcats24

Coby is just getting back into rhythm he will be fine

Also, Kon Knueppel

Also Eric Collins and Dell Curry somehow have no idea that Kon has ALREADY tied the rookie record

Somebody needs to help them out so they get the call right when he breaks it

powellrmp

What’s the rookie record? I had 208 in my mind

Dang. I was ready to place a bet for Tidjane Salaun to have a 20 point second half but he’s not active tonight

GoBobcats24

It's 206

Kon is tied with Murray

How do they not know

They didn't even talk about it at all

Whole internet talking about it

So weird

Oh they finally JUST talked about it wtf

He tied it and we just get a damn mention???

powellrmp

Huh. Weird. I’m stuck with the dummies on the pacers broadcast

YES

more from miller to the rim. Please

GoBobcats24

Only reason I thought that was because when he got 206 Collins said that he was 1 away from the tie and they never mentioned it at halftime

powellrmp

That’ll help justify his 50m salary, and getting to the FT line more

lol Moussa with the NBA 4 step legal travel

The nba has gotten REAL loose with the “gathering” phase of ball possession haha

Aight Coach Lee.

I’m glad you’re letting the dudes play and gel. But it’s time to sub in the bench fam

I’m DYING to see Xavier Tillman

Hey HP fam, has Coby been in the game with the entire starters minus Melo obviously?

1

cltblkhscoach

Man who the hell is Potter

powellrmp

Oh lawd

cltblkhscoach

Damn B Mill

TheDorkLord

"Cooking with the good grease"

powellrmp

Ohhh just short

By an inch

Small lineup

Grant, Miles at the 4/5

Ohhh boy what a stupid call

Damn Coby white wow. Coby, Sion, Miller, Miles, Grant

cltblkhscoach

Record!

powellrmp

Kon is ridiculous

History made!!! We got to watch it!

Given it’s the hornets, it’s actually good history made too!

2

Mich_Mercer

It has to be deflating playing us. We have so many guys who can put up points in a hurry

That Kon midrange shot was sweet.

powellrmp

I want Pat Counnaughton to follow me around and be my hype man

1

Mich_Mercer

That miller 3 was crazy good too.

meloFan

I would let Kon play the game as much as he can so he can rack those 3pters up

Mich_Mercer

Did EC go crazy when he broke it?

meloFan

meh

Mich_Mercer

The pacers announcers weren’t very excited about it.

cltblkhscoach

Nah not crazy but he made it a highlight

Mich_Mercer

I’m disappointed in Eric

Maybe it’s bc he broke it so early in the season. It was a given.

1

meloFan

yup. He said the target is 300, and that'd be something

GoBobcats24

DOWN GOES THE ROOKIE RECORD. 300 HERE WE COME!!!

BOOM ANOTHER ONE

meloFan

70% is witchcraft

cltblkhscoach

Damn my feed must be behind lol

GoBobcats24

My bad

cltblkhscoach

Lol you're good man

meloFan

Kons shot is so clean

powellrmp

I hate this pacers broadcast team. Zero mention of the rookie record

meloFan

Freaking Loosiers

Mich_Mercer

The pacers broadcast loves the thickness of Kon though.

lol I thought I heard them mention something about the record after.

1

GoBobcats24

THIS KON GUY IS INSANE

Chef

Kon is pretty good at basketball. He should probably win roy

TheDorkLord

Moose

Chef

But since them renamed it the cooper Flagg award I am not sure he will

2

GoBobcats24

IMO best Kon will be able to get is CO ROY but if he leads the league in 3s they might have to give it to him

powellrmp

This is a banger chef. High quality funny

Chef

Thank you, I will be here all the week

GoBobcats24

Because yes I agree they gave it to Flagg in June

meloFan

Also FUCK IU

TheDorkLord

without all the Cooper hype Kon would be walking away with it

GoBobcats24

Kon having a top 2-3 rookie guard season all time

powellrmp

Speaking of hype. The other hornets job I’ll apply for in the backup for Pat Connaughton’s hype man role. If Patty C isn’t able to be on the bench, I’ll happily step in and be the hype guy. I’ll tirelessly study film of Pat being an A tier hype man

I’ve ran the advanced analytics, and Patty C is in the 95th percentile of bench hype men

GoBobcats24

I say 99th

Guy has been incredible

2

powellrmp

100th

1

GoBobcats24

When we get Coby White going teams are gonna be legit scared of us

Chef

Yes, it's easy to see why the trades Colin for him. He is way more dynamic offensively. A true insta flame 6 man type

GoBobcats24

Absolutely and for some reason Colin didn't "fit" and you can already see the fit with Coby even not in rhythm yet. Guy has had injuries to both calfs off and on all year so I will give him a month

They might already be

powellrmp

Is Kon still out there

GoBobcats24

Yes IDK why

Lee getting him garbage mins

I'm not upset about it go get that ROY

1

powellrmp

Oh that’s an intentional coach Lee move

We know why

GoBobcats24

Yeah I love it

WHAT A PASS KON

powellrmp

Yep. Coach Lee wants to see his guy get what he deserves

cltblkhscoach

Kon probably doesn't want to come out lol

Chef

Colin is one of those hard nosed ball dominant guards who aren't table setters. Like Iverson or Westbrook. Those guys are fantastic when they get you 30 every night. The second they only get you 22, they are a detriment

powellrmp

It’s bizarre that so many people want Flagg for the ROY despite kon’s three point rookie record, and a hair away from the first ever rookie 50/40/90 season. A rookie has never done either of those things

2

Chef

It's ok to say that Kon has had a better rookie season and at this point certainly more impactful to winning, but Flagg is still a better bet to have a transcendent career. Especially when he gets a functional roster around him.

But it seems like the NBA media can't do it

powellrmp

Not taking anything away from Flagg, but damn

There you go. Hornets this year: a 9 game road losing streak and a 9 game road winning streak in the same year. First ever in the NBA to do that in the same year

Always a good sign seeing us dominate teams we should beat

1

meloFan

Good by Melo Bmill and Pat to celebrate with Kon
