Let me find out y’all are warming up to Miles staying with the team 🤭
Hardcore fan from Australia here I'm a sicko big fan of nc charlotte wake forest muggsy grandmama lj I'd be at every game if I could I watch every game got my hive is alive hoody on right now lol
2 notes for Miles, he was out basically a whole year and has had a high number of minutes this year.
Tbh Miles has to be top priority. Melo is Melo but until he can show us he can stay healthy for a full season Miles is lowkey our second best player. He’s durable and we can’t afford to loose that until our other guys can show that they can stay on the court.
Sam Hauser was looking like the second coming of Larry Bird 🤦🏾♂🤦🏾♂🤦🏾♂🤦🏾♂
SMALL BALL HORNETS FIRST QUARTER BEFORE STEVE FIRE 🔥 HIS A$$ CLIFFORD,AT THE 7 MIN MARK MAKES SUBS WHEN WE ARE UP 10 WHY CHANGE WE DONT HAVE ANY BENCH HARDLY.

SIMPLE YOU GOTTA HAVE A COACH NOT SOMEONE WHO SHOULD COACH MIDDLE SCHOOL
As for Mark Williams he shouldn't be on the team we drafted Jalen Duran 14th and Williams 16th, why would Mitch KUPCAKE trade the higher pick basketball IQ.LOOK AT THIER PHYSICALITY JALEN IS A HORSE, MARK IS IS A BALLERINA AND WITH CLIFFORD HES ONLY GONNA PLAY 22 MIN. MITCH KUPCAKE FIRED BORREGO AFTER A WINNING SEASON FOR 2 HORRIBLE SEASONS WITH A SECOND ROUND OF A TAAKA VODKA IN STEVE CLIFFORD 😅😅🎉🎉PLZ LEAVE CHARLOTTE MITCH AND STEVE WE CAN WIN 40 GAMES ADDING LAMELO AND A 1B PLAYER WIGGINS,OUBRE, DEFENSE AND OFFENSE WHO DONT CARE ABOUT STATS.MILES IS A STUD.MUST KEEP.
Hornets number one focus needs to be winning this extremely competitive battle to the bottom. Losing by just 14 is way too close for comfort, Charlotte be better!
A person who grew up a Kemba Walker fan I remember going to games and winning, just led me to becoming a season-ticket holder, which I still am nowadays we just stopped the winning part
Bolden and Poku were both on a Gleague team. We are trying to build a house with bubblegum and bandaids. Some of our core rotation players were 3rd stringers on another team. Lol
You mentioned the Panthers as a competition for the Hornets, as far as things to do and events to go to, but Charlotte FC is really underrated, and they are on the up hornets are gonna have to get their shit together to stay ahead of them
Give miles the max
Playing out the string. Season was over months ago.
Doug B asked what other teams are doing right? A: Winning.
Hi guys, great commentary about the game last night. Just some observations, Bridges was on Taytum at first and Miller was on White, but they switched in the 2nd half, maybe because Taytum was balling, but, unfortunately, nobody on the team could stop him. Bird 2.0 killed us on 3s. Bertrans looked like he lost Hauser in his blindspot a few times. Maybe he can borrow Grant Williams batman mask? Bridges was in the wrong position on defense most of the game, which is pretty standard. Usually, guys that are that athletic and big leapers also get some highlight blocks but he doesn't get any. Bridges plays a ton of minutes, so gotta rest at some point. Micic took some really bad shots that killed momentum. He got into some weird battle with Pritchard, which caused him to force things. He also froze out Miller, who called him out again. Brandon had 11 points in the 1st quarter and only took about 6 shots the rest of the game, 2 were grenades he caught at the end of the shot clock on passes from teammates, so he really took 4 shots, none on plays ran for him. He needs to be more agressive and not assume that his teamates will pass the ball back to him. So much for Clifford running plays for him in the 2nd half. That's why Cliff needs to go, in my opinion. If you can't get your best player shots, get your second best player to share the ball and play defense and keep your role players from taking bad/too many shots then you won't be a successful and winning team, no matter how good you are on defense. The last championship team that was that bad on offense and leaned on defense was the Chauncey Billups and Big Ben Pistons who shared the ball better than most teams in NBA history. Love the podcast. Go Hornets.
Charlotte new owners have to commit to seriously building a contender(that can win some hardware), the fans will come to see it..
