Hornets currently demolishing the Clippers, 94-59

Yeah, it's preseason, but the Clips are playing all their starters extended minutes, including CP3.

Some notes: Big Al looks less fat this year. Linsanity is striking again. Hawes and Batum are going to be big helps. Kemba still missing everything, but setting up teammates nicely.

10/14/2015 10:13:14 AM

This is like Lin's home court, so kinda like Hornets' home court.

You can't ignore fans' reaction.

NOPE

Think about this, if hornets and Lin were beaten to death on the court in shanghai, in China, who is still gonna watching??

They basically just play for money, to entertain the fans. This is not a normal NBA game happening in US.

[Edited on October 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM. Reason : Definitely an exhibition game, just like Africa game.]

Welcome to China

^^^Maybe "big help" was overstating it. But he'll help. Hawes has a skillset no one on the Hornets' has -- at least until Kaminsky gets up to speed.

Sure he's slow, but he's a good shooter from deep, good rebounder, surprisingly post defender, and a good playmaker/ball-mover. The ball never sticks to him. He's like the anti-Al Jefferson.

I wasn't expecting anything out of him, but he's impressed me so far. I think you'll be surprised.

10/14/2015 10:56:19 AM

^^And wow. Marvin Williams has a tiny head

10/14/2015 10:59:24 AM

And the air pollution is still heavy...

10/14/2015 11:05:05 AM

Three legends.




This is what billionaire wears.



The big mother-fucker





Glen Rice, the very right one




A hurdler, Chinese superstar




Lin on the court

He signed it! He got a new job.

the white trim on his jacket collar looks like somebody tried to photoshop a joint in his mouth

10/16/2015 10:17:34 AM

Yeah, I thought he was smoking.

I guess he could get a job in Atlanta without a doubt. But he chooses to come to Charlotte. Hey, that means A LOT!

10/16/2015 11:45:53 AM

PJ Hairston looks like a fucking caveman. Ugly tar hole bastard. So ridiculous that the Hornets have three pine riders that are former holes.

10/16/2015 5:36:25 PM

I am impressed that Jordan isn't wearing $3000 ripped jeans. Kudos.

10/16/2015 8:23:12 PM

Jordan's Castro hat is nice. Fits in with his UNC communist learning.

Hornets finally lose a preseason game!

(while not playing any of their starters to rest them)

10/23/2015 12:04:51 AM

LOL. Damien is WAIVED already. Just signed the contract a week ago. That's crazy.

10/27/2015 11:53:17 PM

that hornets football jersey is awesome. the rest of those nba football jerseys mostly look like arena football jerseys.

edit: actually i guess the hornets jersey looks like an arena football jersey too...but a good one.

The Hornets one is by far the best, but I really like the Brooklyn look.

10/28/2015 3:28:45 AM

Lol at two man buns on the court at the same time

10/28/2015 8:09:17 PM

Those two dunks are ugly, totally destroying us.

10/28/2015 8:35:48 PM

10/28/2015 10:08:40 PM

This Hornets roster is impressively awful. It's almost like it was constructed by an owner and a GM that are terrible at their jobs.

10/28/2015 10:15:26 PM

2015-16 Preseason Champs

10/28/2015 10:22:18 PM

It's a painful loss.

Miami Heat was the 10th in Eastern Conference last season and is continuing shrinking this year. And we lost to them.

10/28/2015 10:30:27 PM

Uhhh I believe Miami is going to be good this year

10/29/2015 12:34:59 PM

Bosh is back so it's a huge help. But Wade and him both get older, passing their peaks already. So it's kinda pulled back.
They have to rely on the rookie Winslow, 19 yrs old from Duke. So probably they will remain the same this year?
Actually Wade nearly left the team in the summer.

10/29/2015 12:41:57 PM

Forget the nice things I said about Hawes. He looked bad. Decent touch around the rim, but painfully slow ... slower than I remember.

I know a healthy Bosh is a tough cover, but wow ... give Kaminsky his minutes ASAP. At least he has a chance to stay in front of Bosh without looking like his bones will crumble.

Game was bad, but I liked the little surge at the end with Kemba, Lin, and Batum on the court together. Easily our best backcourt combo.

Will be interesting to see if Lamb gives us anything when he returns. He's done nothing in the pros so far, but he's got some talent.

Watching Winslow dunk on us--and knowing we passed on him--made me

Watching MKG sulk on the bench while the announcers talked about how good he looked this summer made me

Only one game but looks like Frank over Winslow was terrible like we all suspected.

[Edited on October 29, 2015 at 6:18 PM. Reason : LOL at us starting Marvin Williams and PJ Hairston. Almost like a UNC alum at the helm...]

10/29/2015 6:17:26 PM

At least Hansbrough didn't play. That would have been a little too much to handle.

(Though I have nothing against Marvin Williams ... he was only there a year and seems like a good dude)

10/30/2015 9:39:38 AM

It's a group of very talented kids under 25. They just need to make changes on team offense strategy. From Big AL-Walker system to a whole new system. Big AL's low post ISO play is out of date already. Like I said before, Walker, Kaminsky and Lamb could be the new big 3 of southeast division. The focus should move from under the rim to around perimeter or downtown. Forget about Okafor, Wallace or Mourning. This is a whole new Hornet.

Lin and Batum are veterans willing to prove themselves again. They should be helpful at crunch time.

It's time for Run and Gun.

I TOLD YOU HAWES WAS A SHITTY WASTE OF SPACE

10/30/2015 10:20:28 AM

Enjoy the game tonight against Atlanta! The new Phillips Arena court and Hawks unis are awesome, very pleasing to the eye. I expect everyone to comment on how amazing Dennis Schroder looks with his neon green-soled shoes tonight. CAW CAW CAW CAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to add to that note, we have way too many tall goofy looking white dudes for an NBA roster. Who decided to make our lineup look like we were being coached by Bo Ryan?

10/30/2015 11:30:50 AM

They are still considered as talents.

They are like got drunk or day dreaming.

11/3/2015 10:38:29 PM

Jeremy Lamb is so smooth. Really been impressed with him, even though he looks like he's high

There are going to be games like last night where we absolutely blow teams out. Seemed like all our shooters -- even shitty Hawes -- couldn't miss

I can only imagine what a healthy MKG could do for this team, being able to lockdown the other teams' best scorer.

We have no one who can really guard guys like Lebron, Harden, even Jimmy Butler. Luckily it didn't matter tonight

Seems like a lot of teams could say that one

Last year's team couldn't have scored 130 in 6 quarters

11/4/2015 8:14:02 AM

Hawes made several 3s.

They were saved by basketball God last night. All the fortunes and luck are with them.

last game: 37.2% FGM-A 37.8% 3PM-A
This game: 51.6% FGM-A 60.9% 3PM-A

Also Zeller's blood stimulated them probably.
