There are two immutable laws of Hornets fandom:
- You will always end up disappointed
- Before being disappointed, they will make sure to always do something promising to build you up, to think you’re turning to corner, to make you believe that this time will truly be different, before dropkicking you back to #1
But hey, I love it when they give us brief moments of joy. The last absolutely fun team was the Kemba/Linsanity/Lee year. These guys have all the hallmarks of going on highlight laden streaks, and this won’t be the only upset this year. Maybe too young to be consistent, but that young chemistry is building, you can sense it.
And Terry MFin Rozier with the poster of the decade. That needs to go on all marketing material from here on out. They should make Melo get a tattoo of the dunk picture as part of his rookie hazing. If I was KD, I would’ve acted like my achilles went out again, and sat out the next 3 weeks. This might be the next best dunk after Baron hammered on KG his rookie year.
