I love my Hornets (for better or worse). And by extension I've become a fan of the draft process and coverage.

Talked about the parts of the Lakers' defense that have been an issue this year, including transition defense, overall communication, and their lack of athleticism at the point of attack after last night's ugly Suns' loss.

Caught up with Josh Green, who's played well offensively in his last two games.

Has he found a comfort zone with the Hornets? We discuss.

Really good quarter of hoops from the Hornets. Vasa and Miles made some big time 3s tonend the quarter
November 18, 2024 at 12:58 AM
Cody Martin just took a chin to the face. It's the first quarter but...I'm thinking maybe we should challenge that call anyway.
November 16, 2024 at 8:35 PM
Hornets v Bucks! Looksine Grant is matched up with Giannis, leaving Miles to match up with Brook Lopez. That could get ugly if they start running him out of the post.
November 16, 2024 at 8:13 PM
This is dope! I remember watching Melo as a kid run through the NCAA. One of the most dominant college players ever.

Did a big breakdown video on Victor Wembanyama's 50-point game.

I'm never opposed to bigs taking 3s if they can shoot, but I've been skeptical of HOW Victor Wembanyama has generated his 3s for SAS.

I thought SAS did an AWESOME job of getting him better looks in this game.
