at the very worst, well at least finish this season .500. that feels surreal after how this season started

GSG2120 | Spurs

I did NOT have faith in Lamelo to be a good leader for a good team but damn, definitely one of my more incorrect nba takes ever.

MastodonSwimming2681 | Rockets

I was an adamant Lamelo > Edwards guy in 2020-2022.

Never wrong, just early

RyouBestGirl | Japan

Edwards made conference finals twice

Lamelo have yet to win a series

oh cool turns out we are allowed to hit 3s again

Phoenix woke our ass up in the 1st quarter, might’ve gotten us hot by proxy on accident

BOOMSHAK4LAKA | Suns

I’m impressed with that Q2 turnaround. Not often a team starts a game with 41 in a quarter then gets limited to 19 in the next.

bob_tacos14 | Suns

The Phoenix Suns Special. Hornets played with consistent energy throughout though

DankMemesNQuickNuts | Charlotte Bobcats

Team will finish at least .500 or better this season

LaMelo had 11 Assists and 0 TOs in 25 minutes

Kon hit his 261st 3 of the season tonight which sets a single season franchise record for 3PMs in a season beating Kemba’s record he set in a season where he was All-NBA

Beat another West Conference Playoff team by 20+

The bench unit with Coby White running it is one of the best in the NBA now

Every rookie we drafted has only continued to improve all season

I cannot believe this is all finally happening. I watched almost every game of that 7-59 season. I watched Diop airball that FT live bro 😭

I have a bobcats mini basketball signed by Diop somewhere in a storage container at my parents’ place. We’ve suffered for so long, man

Y’all think you resign White this offseason? I’m curious what kind of offers he’ll get

PrimeTimeInc | Hornets

We all hope so. He has to sign da ting tho

FatMamaJuJu | Charlotte Bobcats

He’s local so I’d imagine both sides will be eager to come to terms

Feels nice beating the Suns because I feel like Booker has been killing us for years now.

YizWasHere | Hornets

27 | 9 hours ago

If Jalen Green played every game against Charlotte this season he’d be an MVP candidate

FH261169 | Mavericks

hasn’t… everyone been killing you for years? Now with Kons arrival and Paul Georges blessing yall finally good.

svall18 | Hornets

put the 2027 1st rounder in the bag lil bro

HornetsAreBad | Hornets

Idk why you got downvoted tbh, it’s kinda true. But certain players (Booker, Tatum, Embiid) seem to go off against us even more.

FatMamaJuJu | Charlotte Bobcats

4 | 7 hours ago

Embiid is easily explained by looking at our Center rotation since he’s been in the league. He’s played games in his prime where we put Bismack Biyombo on him.

iron_atmosphere | Hornets

Kon is fantastic. Lamelo is still the most important player on the team.

EarthWarping | NBA

Well the Raptors have to win tomorrow night or else Charlotte will be even closer

spookyghostface | Hornets

14 | 9 hours ago

We play the Pacers tomorrow too. Raptors own the tiebreaker over us though (conference record).

Must be nice having a coach that isn’t actively making the team worse by not playing the team’s taller, stronger, and athletic players

FedUpWithThisWurld | Charlotte Bobcats

Are Suns fans not happy with Ott? I thought he was doing a solid job this season from afar

VolumeValuable3537 | Suns

10 | 9 hours ago

He was, until he started rolling out 4 guard lineups like it’s 2025 all over again. Won’t play Rasheer Fleming or Khaman Maluach who are the team’s best defensive players, and can both shoot 3’s despite their gargantuan height and wing span

Capt_Insane-o | Hornets

5 | 8 hours ago

Maluach needs to get every single Mark Williams minute, they are polar opposites from an effort standpoint

FatMamaJuJu | Charlotte Bobcats

1 | 7 hours ago

Mark plays like he’s trying not to get hurt again

Dependent_Age4904

Am I missing something? The team basically has no talent besides Book

michaelalex3 | Hornets

9 | 9 hours ago

Brooks, Gillespie, Green, Allen, Williams are all good players.

Jambuyger

Would you rather have Udoka as your coach?

VolumeValuable3537 | Suns

2 | 8 hours ago

If he was our coach, it would be the first time in 30 years the Suns would turn into an interior focused team. I don’t know how i would feel about that

handgredave | Hornets

11 | 9 hours ago

Interesting historical footnote that both Kon and Gillespie set their teams single season record for made 3s in this game.

SirTacoMaster | Hornets

Another game showing why LaMelo is so important to this team

Riles4prez | Suns

I really enjoy watching the Hornets broadcast.

i have either the hornets or celtics coming out of the east, would be a miracle run either way and they’re also both genuinely looking the best
