Kon Knueppel PROBABLE to Return | Bucks Recap | Brandon Miller ERUPTS in Loss
Miles Bridges suffers a scary ankle injury against the Bucks, but the latest injury report brings surprising news for him and Kon Knueppel. Plus, we investigate the numbers behind the Hornets’ sudden offensive surge over the last two weeks.
On today’s show, we recap a tough loss to the Milwaukee Bucks that saw Brandon Miller shine with 31 points while LaMelo Ball struggled with turnovers. The biggest story, however, was Miles Bridges leaving the game with an ankle injury. We provide the latest updates on his status and share some unexpectedly good news regarding Kon Knueppel’s potential return to the lineup.
Later, we explore why the Charlotte Hornets’ offense has looked like a completely different beast recently, ranking sixth in the NBA over the last two weeks. We credit Moussa Diabate’s passing ability out of the short roll and the team’s commitment to ball movement. Finally, we discuss the continued development of rookie Tidjane Salaun, who is shooting the ball with confidence and showing improved decision-making on the court.

Kon ankle made out of Vibranium
It's lame to rank the players by saying Miles is the 4th best playerrank, them etc. You don't need to label, define, quantify, rank them, etc. Miles makes the team better.
Some of the no calls were carzy, like when Melo was shoved to the floor while driving with Giannis landing on his legs and rolling oven him but they call all the little BS fouls on Melo.
The problem as always is their defense. Hornets will get good scoring from a few players almost every game. But most will not resulting Ws.
They are not efficient. Lamelo shoot 41% , Miles 43% , 39% Brandon. They are not good.
I love what Coach Lee’s doing but he absolutely needs to go ballistic with the refs and get T’d up when the guys are getting hammered like that. C’mon man, protect our players.
Give sexton AT LEAST 24 minutes a game, he's explosive off the bench and has the dog in him. He's overall floor raiser for our Charlotte team.
Doug is in the 99th percentile of people wishing they could do half the bleep he complains about melo not doing. Truly a piece of work
the Big being able to pass is why Jokic is so dominant. why Giannis is dominant, why Lebron was dominant. Kalkbrenner has that potential in passing. a passing center plus Kon is how you go from scoring 110 pts offensive rating to scoring 140 pts overall offensive rating. Diabate is also great so definitely a toss up but Kalkbrenner fits the build for high octane offense.
Burger vs Burger bowl… Love it!!
Tidjane playing good makes me happpy more than anything
Doug with the subtle Barry Manilow hook
We should’ve beat the bucks. Should’ve played sexton more
Kon gives me Mark Price vibes.
Great podcast Walker and Doug, good to see you both back 😃🙌🏻
