I’ve been going to Charlotte games since the early bobcats days and this is the first time in my life that I’ve watched fans leave the arena early because we were winning too much. It’s a weird but great feeling

dank-kush | Hornets

88 | 8 hours ago

On one hand I love that we can take care of business very convincingly now but on the other hand I hate that I don’t get to see Kon play the 4th to make a better case for ROTY lol, dudes been averaging like 22 mpg the last 4 games.

aiden3buckets | Hornets

52 | 8 hours ago

Roty would be cool but literally nobody cares about the award after that first year lol

dank-kush | Hornets

24 | 8 hours ago

I mean I’m well aware we already went through this with Lamelo, but like you said it’s still cool for his efforts to be rewarded for an incredible year.

Suavesky

3 | 8 hours ago

Right, where LaMelo was good the entire year and nearly lost it late due to injury,

FatMamaJuJu | Charlotte Bobcats

7 | 7 hours ago

He didn’t nearly lose it. Fans wanted to give it to Anthony Edwards because he finished the year strong but the media consensus was with Lamelo because he had been consistently good the entire season. The vote wasn’t all that close

Edit: I just looked it up he was 1st place on 84 of 99 ballots

dank-kush | Hornets

1 | 7 hours ago

I mean that’s what we thought but the voting was not even close lol he got the majority of the first place votes.

Klaytheist | Raptors

also, i’m pretty sure he has it locked up

Namath96 | Hornets

Especially when it’ll just be used as a TIL Cooper Flagg didn’t win ROTY in 5 years

shangalang69 | Raptors

5 | 8 hours ago

i think its pretty much on lock by now right?

PleasantTrust522 | 76ers

11 | 7 hours ago

Looking purely at stats and games played, it should be an absolute lock, but the narrative behind Flagg as the #1 pick is pretty strong.

shangalang69 | Raptors

8 | 7 hours ago

i hardly see or hear anyone push flagg roty other than mavs fans, even national media likes kon more i think

ajabernathy | Hornets

5 | 7 hours ago

Kon clearly needs the rest. His legs are going.

throwaway8943265 | Pistons

4 | 5 hours ago

I think Kon has a strong case over Flagg, in voters’ minds. Stats or talent aside - the narrative of Kon being a key piece turning around a struggling franchise and taking them to the playoffs, vs. Flagg pretty much just helping the Mavs get eliminated from contention slightly later than they otherwise would have.

Rillaboom2701 | Hornets

78 | 8 hours ago

Sacramento’s largest loss (deficit wise) of the season so far

pretzeldoggo | Kings

49 | 8 hours ago

Largest Loss was not buying out Demar and not trading Sabonis/Monk at the deadline

a_moniker | Hornets

10 | 7 hours ago

I’m baffled by y’all not buying out Demar. Like, why not??

DJSTANKDADDY2 | Kings

13 | 6 hours ago

My primary theory is Vivek is a stubborn idiot. Secondary theory is that they let him explore his options for a better situation for him, and those potential situations just weren’t interested, so he’s content to still live in California and shoot 15-20 shots a game.

ImJeeezus | Kings

4 | 6 hours ago

Vivek is cheap and just wants names to make sure some people go to games

EastonMetsGuy | Charlotte Bobcats

55 | 8 hours ago

I’m gonna level with some of y’all. I didn’t know I was allowed to actually like basketball like this, is this what it feels like to be a relevant and fun NBA franchise??? No wonder this thing is popular.

YizWasHere | Hornets

9-28 vs. 26-55 on 3s one of the funniest disparities I’ve ever seen. It’s like teams playing in 2 different eras lmao.

HornetsAreBad | Hornets

25 | 8 hours ago

Love the belt-to-ass Hornets, but I also love the Kings & hope they can find a way out of this mess they’re in.

tandtz | Hornets

26 | 8 hours ago

Having a half competent bench is so huge, the starters aren’t always trying to compensate for it. Coby has been an amazing pickup, 27 points in 18 minutes off the bench is nuts.

The FO has been cooking, also drafted two immediate contributors in Kalk and Sion, plus Grant and Josh getting healthy

JohnnyFooker | Hornets

10 | 8 hours ago

I think Coby and our bench this year, could compete with Lamelo and our starters of the past couple years.

Ryan Kalkbrenner’s historical record chase watch:

After tonight’s game, Kalkbrenner has made 198 of his 265 field goal attempts. He is now only 35 attempts away from qualifying for single season FG% record, and he needs to make at least 25 of these 35 attempt to beat the current record holder, 2019-2020 season’s Mitchell Robinson.

With 10 games left, this is very much doable given that Kalkbrenner averages about 4.5 shots a game for the month of March, and assuming he doesn’t miss a game or have a drop in his current fg%. I will try to keep updating this as the season is coming to an end. If Kalkbrenner can achieve it, he would probably be the only player to ever have a historical record in a rookie season, it certainly is something to watch for.

Spent the game imagining Josh Green and Xavier Tillman as future Kings.

LaMelonBallz | Hornets

14 | 7 hours ago

Nah Josh Green has done a great job in his actual role lately.

You can have X tho. I figured that guy was like 35, this mf is 27 moving like that lol

Coby playing like Kobe lately, 18 pts vs. Spurs, then 24, 27, 12, and 27 today. They will need this from him in the playoffs.

RL_Stine_ | Thunder

With 82 game season i dont think fans pay much attention outside their team. Charlotte is one of the few teams i always like to check box scores for. Def on the up showing signs of being capable of some dominance now.

Random question though, yall still high on Salaun? Is Charlotte now too talented for a young/raw guy like him to develop? Curious if Hornets have time to be patient with him now.

Guys like this have trade value imo. Kinda reminds me of Ousmane Dieng traded by the Thunder. Wanted to keep him but OKC is all in on the next 3-5 years so we just didnt have time to be patient with his development..
