fresh off whooping the Houston rwoodyckets, the Hornets face off against the Grizzlies tonight, as they try to improve to 13-13 on the year.

2/10/2021 11:11:39 AM

Ball should be selected to the All-Star roster, not just rising stars. Never seen a rookie rising sooo quickly since Yao Ming.

2/10/2021 11:26:40 AM

Graham questionable, PJ and both Martin twins out tonight. Jalen McDaniels called up from the Swarm but it's still gonna be a short bench.

2/12/2021 6:30:58 PM

lol, thanks for the dub, Draymond (and Terry obviously)

2/20/2021 10:20:39 PM

That was pretty goddamn hilarious.

2/21/2021 9:28:59 AM

Call Cleveland and trade for Drummond or Jarrett Allen

2/21/2021 1:56:22 PM

[NO]

2/21/2021 2:10:56 PM

The following super tour to the West is deadly. Good luck to them!

2/21/2021 3:46:36 PM

Jarrett Allen would be awesome, but there is zero chance Cleveland would get rid of him, after just trading for him.

2/23/2021 8:55:32 PM

LaMelo Ball is the first rookie ever since Luka Doncic to average 14/6/6 by far. On the list there is also Magic Johnson.

2/24/2021 8:23:45 AM

nice win @Phoenix

2/24/2021 11:51:28 PM

Yes, it's unexpected. Truly amazing. LaMelo is growing up like crazy. He took over the game at clutch time, scoring 10 pts in the final 10 mins. His stardom is bigger than Booker and Chris Paul already. Unbelievable kid.

2/25/2021 10:02:09 AM

This is all goddamn hilarious and true. Except for the mecklenburg county fair part, because that does not exist.

2/28/2021 3:23:50 PM

That’s very funny

2/28/2021 4:45:57 PM

He's very proud of his kids---Lonzo&LaMelo are both top 3 picks and play for elite teams.

2/28/2021 5:50:03 PM

holy shit

3/1/2021 12:40:33 AM

Without Zeller, Haywood and Graham, they still grabbed a win in Sacramento. Not bad.

"In February, LaMelo Ball averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Ball became the 3rd teenager to average 20-6-6 in a calendar month (min. 10 games). He joined Luka Doncic and LeBron James, who each did this multiple times."

3/5/2021 8:39:12 AM

Is he starting? Still a lot of turnovers? Or improvement everywhere?

3/5/2021 5:22:38 PM

Lamelo is the GOAT. Plz get out if you disagree

3/5/2021 5:46:36 PM

^^

3/5/2021 10:21:53 PM

Now many fans want Lonzo Ball to be traded to us and play with his little brother. Graham for Lonzo.

3/6/2021 5:32:27 PM

[NO]

[Edited on March 6, 2021 at 9:09 PM. Reason : I mean i guess he could be the backup pg]

"Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball continues to prove his worth during the 2020-21 campaign, breaking a rookie record that stood for six decades. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Ball is the only player in the last 60 seasons to lead all rookies in total points, assists, rebounds and steals at the All-Star break."

GOAT

3/12/2021 2:10:58 PM

Lonzo is a good player, but he is about to get paid. I like what the hornets are building and don't think dropping 20M + on Lonzo is a good idea.

3/12/2021 3:33:20 PM

We need a solid dominant center, not another back court guard, for the playoffs.

"It was critical to bank those two wins, especially the victory over the shorthanded Raptors. After the Hornets host the Kings on Monday, they’ll play 11 of their next 13 games on the road and 13 of their next 19 against the other 15 teams currently over .500. They’re 7-9 (tied with Boston for the fewest games played) within that group thus far."

The good old days are over...

3/17/2021 3:25:09 PM

So a lot of my predictions are wrong…but really sucks about ball if true he is out for rest of the season

3/21/2021 9:32:34 PM

Seems true.
So my prediction of their final place(10th in the East) is still realistic. Hope the kid can recover soon like Zion last season.

3/21/2021 9:35:22 PM

that sucks. wonder if he could come back for the playoffs if we find a way to make it.

3/21/2021 11:12:10 PM

Any favorible matchups? Like def not brooklyn but def doable(if ball returns) against sixers or bucks?

3/21/2021 11:18:07 PM

currently we're only 1.5 games out of 4th so who knows. It's basically Brooklyn/Philly/Milwaukee in whatever order you choose, and then everybody else.

3/21/2021 11:55:24 PM

Trade for lonzo ball. He's like a shitty lamelo.

3/21/2021 11:55:30 PM

I doubt they can make it to the playoffs without Ball. This season's rising is largely due to the fact we got the best rookie in NBA's modern era(period). So far we are just one game more winning than the 9th and the 10th. The following schedule is still very intense and we have to survive through the two crazy road trips first. With only Gordon Haywood and Terry Rozier, the two veterans traded from Celtics, playoff spot is not guaranteed.

3/22/2021 8:30:33 AM

^^ Lonzo Ball has been played for two teams in 4 yrs. This is gonna be his 3rd team and 2nd trades. Unless we use him like Jeremy Lin, a journey man and backup PG, otherwise we'd rather keep Graham.

3/22/2021 2:05:21 PM

3/27/2021 2:11:56 AM

Bought Brad Wanamaker from GSW with cash. He is Jeremy Lin type of backup PG. kinda compensate for the loss of Melo and get ready for the playoffs run.

3/27/2021 6:09:40 PM

I agree with you shoot, Wanamaker is another Yi Jialan, he is definitely the missing piece that can make up for lamelos absence. Just hope he lives up to the hype

3/27/2021 10:53:05 PM

good measuring stick game tonight against Brooklyn

4/1/2021 9:53:26 AM

[Edited on April 1, 2021 at 10:01 AM. Reason : link doesn't work]

4/1/2021 9:58:33 AM

4/1/2021 11:23:26 AM

^^^^ Wanamaker has adapted to the team and can contribute about 10 pts in 20 mins per game. Not bad at all. But hopefully Lamelo can still come back in the playoffs.

4/8/2021 9:51:06 AM

tough loss to the Hawks, but this was pretty nice

4/11/2021 6:17:19 PM

LMAO they lost to a hawks team who had literally everyone out.

4/11/2021 8:55:55 PM

Hornets were missing 2 starters and then lost a 3rd in the 2nd half, so there's that

4/11/2021 9:21:11 PM

Lol the Hawks were missing Trae Young, Danilo Gallinari, John Collins, De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish, Tony Snell and Kris Dunn.

But they are also coached by NATE THE GREAT MCMILLAN

4/11/2021 11:15:08 PM

^Both sides were lack of star players. So it's an incomplete potential playoff match like Saturday's Lakers vs Nets.

This game made a difference. Now they come down to No. 7 and Hawks take their spot. But they don't have to travel a lot anymore. 6-4 home-guest games before the end of April. They should be able to bounce back.

4/12/2021 9:31:22 AM

4 players with double doubles, including Cody Martin

4/25/2021 3:42:10 PM

Tonight perhaps is their last game of the season. Ball is a little bit disappointed after returning from injury, and Haywood is still resting on his fat contract like MKG. If they can't take the lead at the halftime in Indiana, the road is ending.

[Edited on May 18, 2021 at 9:29 AM. Reason : Last chance for Ball to prove he's the ROTY]
