https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/dallas-mavericks-charlotte-hornets-2026030330/
31-31 and 5th straight Win!! Buzz buzz let’s gooo
At the end of the 2024 season, the Mavs were in the finals and the Hornets lost 61 games.
Two years later people would probably argue Charlotte is in a better place as a franchise.
If Dallas gets a top 3 pick this year they’ll be in incredible shape for the future
I mean the way we are playing we have a title window the next 3 years lol
lol slow down there, I don’t think you guys are that good.
One of the youngest line ups in the nba and currently torching teams in 2026 doesn’t have a title chance in 3 years?
lamelo and wife beater aren’t winning anything lmao
Are you talking about a 1% chance? Or something more significant?
*And y’all too scared to actually answer lol
We’ve led the league in net rating for two months and have the best starting lineup in the nba.
Why not?
the West runs through Charlotte my friend.
Yeah we’ve been playing great recently but a lot of our fans are getting ahead of themselves.
We have a very difficult schedule the rest of the season, that will be the real test imo. If we finish the season above .500 I’ll be happy.
It’s more about our contracts and draft pick situation
It’s understandable. Get out of line with joy and unshakeable belief lol that’s the fun part of being a fan.
Plus yall haven’t had a team like this in forever.
Might as well be convinced you have a finals run in the next 3 years or even a chip. Might or might not come true but that’s a discussion for 3 years from now lol.
Screw that guy. You guys should enjoy yourself. I remember someone two years ago on here trying to make me feel like shit just cause I was talking about the Knicks getting in the finals. When ur team is winning u can say anything
Charlotte basically got a great core going. Their starting 5 is amazing when playing
Dallas just has Flagg
Star driven league tho. It’s like that 60 win Hawks team. Bunch of really good guys playing well together, but no superstar player.
Not convinced Lamelo is that guy. I could be wrong and Hornets fans have earned their hype and moment to shit talk.
Bunker and lamelo have insane ceilings tho
Happy for you guys, always liked the Hornets
Get that lad his haircut!
THIS IS THE WORST OFFICIATING I’VE WATCHED THIS SEASON. WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE ZEBRAS DOING?
Adam Silver was in the building. Coincidence? I think not
FUCK EM 27 POINT BLOWOUT LMAO
Those fuckers definitely lost a shit ton of money on the +12 spread
Did you see the Nuggets v Jazz game last night? They’ve been on one lately
Kon, Lamelo, and Miles had an absolutely atrocious shooting night and we still won by 30. I get it’s the mavs without copper but it’s really nice to be able to take care of the games we’re supposed to take care of even on an off night.
You guys are becoming special before everyone’s eyes, gotta be a great time to be a Hornets fan
We’ll see. Our first test against your Celtics tomorrow night. Hoping we have Coby back at least to run the second unit.
If anything I think you guys are showing your legit and have a pretty good future at minimum if you can keep Melo, Brandon, and Kon together.
But yep tonight should be fun
These refs dead ass need to be suspended
Like did you bet on the tanking Mavericks, how are you that stupid
I’m kinda disappointed Flagg didn’t play, it would have been cool to see Wilts record get broken by a rookie with 75 FTA
Wilt had how many?!
8v5 and we still won by 27. FanDuel getting really desperate to cut our win margins, Brandon Williams 11 FTs is nasty work.
It’s because I bet \(50 on the Hornets winning the division last year in July /s. They were given +25,000 odds. I know it's the Hornets, but good golly miss molly. My cash out is sitting at \)2k lol. The prize would be $12.5k
let it ride brother
You know it. I only ever place season-long bets so I can ride out the thrill for a long time. I also bet that the Panthers would win their division in the NFL and that worked out (barely)! The first time I ever placed a sports bet was on NC State basketball making the Final Four 2 years ago and that also worked out!! My homerism is on a fuckin roll. I already invest a lot of time watching every single game, so why not invest a few bucks before the season starts? I’ve spent more just streaming the gd games.
Hornets play like crap and still win by 27, what a time to be alive.
By 27 on a bad shooting night with the refs playing for the other team.
Hornets are legit as hell brother.
should be a 50 pt blowout if the refs weren’t gambling
5 straight blowout wins, Boston we ready
Ralph wiggum danger.gif
If OKC had the same whistle as the Hornets they would have to pull people out of the crowd to play by halftime
LMFAO for real tho.
Holy shit, hornets actually reached .500
It is March now and the Hornets don’t have a losing record. God bless the Carolinas
A foul was called on the hornets during creation of this thread. Mavs fans will get two comments and the top one pinned.
so the new meta for opposing teams is to double Kon when he curls to the ball based on tonight and last game against Portland
Great playmaking/defensive effort from LaMelo tonight. 5 steals for a guard is always impressive
Ugly win, but we’ll take it
Lee made a great adjustment having Kalkbrenner roll to the rim with Kon driving. If teams are gonna sell out on Kon then that’s a free alley oop every time.
Yeah and Sion/Grant punished that strategy by making their 3s when Kalk assisted them. If Sion can be a consistent 38% 3 pt shooter, that “Double Kon” strategy can be beaten
And the great thing about kon is he can make that read so easily, not to mention the insane gravity he has that your doubling him on curls.
Gonna have to switch up actions and set better screens to get the man some open looks.
On the other hand, Mavs were absolutely selling to not let Kon get good looks. They got torched for it.
Yeah, we need a Hornets Pistons 1st Round Match Up. That could get chippy.
Oh hell yeah. If that happens it’s gonna be a riot!
We have the best James in the league
Sion “Lebron” James
GO HORNETS GO.
Just keep that same energy when Kon drops 49 on you guys in Game 7 of the Finals this year.
If we make it to the second round I’ll consider this season a success so sure why not.
WELCOME TO THE BUZZ MOTHERFUCKERS AAAAA .500 LEVEL BASKETBALL NEVER FELT SO GOOD
[deleted]
That’s 26 loses so i think you meant 27-17
Bring us Panathinaikos, bring us the Florida Panthers, Atlanta Falcons - idc who you got - nothing stops Charlotte on its way to .500 basketball.
Keep the Florida Panthers at home where they belong. Rat fucks
Hornets vs Pistons gonna be cinema
good to know dwight powell has a better whistle than anyone on the hornets
Giannis really about to miss the play in. Surely he’s getting moved in the summer
Buzz motherfucking buzz
Hornets are finally mid (complimentary) 😌
The Hornets have a higher point differential than the 2023 Nuggets
That’s a win in my book!
This game was disgusting
I HATE ZEBRAS
