Coby white is like a quiet nerd at the party it seems 😅
I miss doug, he has an aura of a 90s comedy movie guy … 🤣
I was 14 years old when the Hornets had their inaugural season… I've never seen any variation of this team play so well. Most excited I've been about the Hornets since the '92 team with Grandmama, Zo, Dell, Muggsy, Kendall Gill, etc. BUZZ CITY IS ALIVE!!!
In order for the hornets to get into the playoffs they have to win a lot. People have to lose to make the playoffs. Coby white is a great addition.
Was kind of cool to see them vs Sexton. It is like that one party member in a JRPG you run into later in a battle. Not the best example but what I pulled out of a small thought 😂
Play in ain’t good enough anymore. This team needs playoff series experience this year. Get it done!
The league is lucky that Melo and Brandon were hurt early in the season. Cause they’d be a top 5 seed.
Ryan "Special K" gotta look to score off the bench to win his starting spot back.
31 assists!!!! As a team!!! There moving the ball
Whatsup Walker? Fellow SICKO here, Roger. Love the win man…The 🫎 is definitely BACK BABY!! HE was loose last nite…I like the M and M bros montage too…I was calling th3m the TAG TEAM CHAMPS!!! LETS GO HORNETS SWARM CHARLOTTE BABY!! 🤢🤮🐝🏀💥💚🍳🔥🍻💪🫎🤫
Totally happy for us but sad for Colin Sexton. Sucks we had to send him to that dumpster fire. Dude deserves to be on a play off team.
What if the hornets get Mitchell Robinson in FA? I love his defense, he & moose would be formidable. He’s going somewhere because the Knicks aren’t winning the chip. It’s a healthy OKC, spurs, or Cleveland. The hornets aren’t winning a championship without a few moves this offseason. FA, draft, trades. I recommend moves at C & PF. To be elite. The hornets aren’t winning a really good but not elite.
Walker Mehl!🖤 love when we get Da Dub!💯💪🏽 Tru Hornets Fan like Me!🖤 #BuzzCity
We are lost out there without Melo. That second period was hard to watch. We gotta hope Coby can fit in nicely and take some of those Sion turnover minutes and Melo doesnt foul himself out.
It’s great to be a Hornets fan. Finally!! What’s really exciting is that Kon and Diabate still haven’t even gotten to their ceilings yet. Bright future indeed!
white is steady , can be a starter aswell . if we get 8 seed we def gonna upset the#1 seed
Walker needs to wash his sweater, sheesh
I think they will make the playoffs and if they do I think they match up best with Boston if I’m being honest. Both teams are heavy 3 point teams and I think Charlotte can keep up. Teams like Detroit, NY and Cleveland are bigger and that’s what concerns me but I think the best continues and they make it out of the first round! Maybe a Miami heat of 2022 run 👀
We.Got.Some.SHOOOTTTTEEERRRRRSSS
I hope the early season injuries don't cost this team a playoff opportunity. Besides Detroit and Cavs – I Know Boston is out there and I know the Knicks are out there – but, I don't see anyone else better in the Eastern Conference when the Hornets as constructed "NOW" are healthy! People saying other teams are too far ahead forget that some of those teams will end up on losing skids or have injuries, etc. They can't have any slip ups at all; because the Hornets are on their butts.
Rookie record is old news. Kon is about to be the first rookie to ever lead the league in 3pm.
Great podcast Walker 🙌🏻, another great win on the road 🏀, it was good to see Miles and Moussa back hopefully we can stay healthy for the rest of the season 👍🏻
What's concerning is the offense and playmaking when Lamelo is on the bench…. It just seems so stagnant and no rhythm… In those Non Lamelo minutes I don't think Hornets need to try and Mimic Lamelo and have Sion James or anyone else playmake they take too long to get into a play and look lost… They need to just pass and let the ball find the right person…. Need like a warriors type offense with ball movement.
THE Walker Mehl 🎉
It’s great to start the 3rd with energy. Past 3 years we usually throw up a stinker in the 3rd and the game got away from us. Then hearing Kon say they hated the way they started the game so wanted to come out and play the way they should have was chef kiss. Great team to get behind !!!
We finally have a competent 2nd unit. Coby makes it gel with Grant and Josh.
Are we concerned about Jonathan kuminga?
Buzz buzz buzz buzz killer bees are coming to get ya!
I hope I catch you guys out an about one day, id get an autograph from you and Doug any day!
Walker can you help me get this nickname going?
"Frequent Flyer Miles"
I need some other Sicko's to co-sign with me in saying "I Want To Obliterate The Pacers" because of how they won the game the last time we played them. I need to let it go; but dang they shouldn't have won that game. Please, beat the Pacers by 30 although; a win will do in general, LOL!
Brandon Miller for Caleb Wilson if he lands with Washington i think that will help kon continue to grow Brandon can go play with Anthony Davis and trae young or trade kon to Washington were he will still thrive and move Brandon to the sg/sf spot and Caleb could play 3-5 fits nice or we will have to trade miles and our 2 first round picks these year for Caleb. This draft is deep maybe we could 1 of the 2 first found pick but if I was Washington I would demand both especially the hornets are in the east the become instant threat to each other if hornets wanna keep Miller melo kon and add Caleb I'll demand those picks miles is a nice piece to add to the wizard nice contract a sure 20 and 10 guy with the trae young and Anthony Davis but that's not enough maybe keep 1 draft pick and send moose were he can really shine with a nice contract team friendly this g give the wizard a true chance a either signing another really good player to add and compete and still build for future with moose miles and a top 11 pick whatever solid player contract the may take on i would try and attach a top 10 draft pick with it bring in a 3rd team like Utah see if walker Kessler since they have a new big in town with jaren Jackson
iKon is low key a great bet for ROTY. Dallas will be winding down to try an get a better pick in the lottery. That will in theory hurt Flagg's stats.
Let's gooooo
This team still isn’t going to make it out of the play in, but at least they’re a hell of a lot more fun to watch now.
