Down hey down hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah, down. Hey, it’s time. You can probably see it in the reflection on the Bogues jersey. They’re doing the anthem right now. The season is here. The draft is done. Free agency is done. Summer league champions, come on. But that’s done. Preseason done. We’re here. We’re here. We made it.

But the game is the game. This is what this is what makes the league the league. But I live in Charlotte. I can’t just put this on uh on I can’t just add it to my YouTube TV. So, we’re here and we’re adapted. But that’s that’s my way. Also, ripped to stream. It’s a shame that got taken down. I’m sure there’s other ways. I’m sure there’s other ways. RIFF, what’s up? What’s up? See, what’s up, my friend? Mint City, what up, man? We bonking. Yes, sir. Excited for the new season. Let’s hope the excitement lasts a bit longer than last year. Mic’s a bit low. Stand by. Stand by. Let me address. Here we go. How’s that? How’s that? Check. Check. Check check. Silver really needs to make the NBA product more accessible though. For real. Legit, I don’t I stand by this. If you don’t have a winning record, you can’t sign a regional sports network deal. In order to become eligible for a regional sports network contract, you have to have a winning record. If not, that [ __ ] needs to be on network television. They got to earn it. So, if you want to tank, if teams want to tank, they can tank. But we ain’t subscribing to Valley Sports until you win. You got to earn it. Boom. Starting five. Lamela Ball, Brandon Miller, Con Canipple, Miles Bridges, Ryan Cal Brener. No Josh Green. Uh, no. Grant Williams. Not a surprise. Excuse me. Net starting five. This team sucks. I think the Hornets are like favored by like five, five and a half, something like that. I’m scared. I’m scared to bet on anything right now because it’s so early in the year. But the Hornets should walk this team on paper. They should walk this the sorry ass Brooklyn team on paper though. But it should be a high like a highscoring game. Terrence man, Michael Porter Jr., Nick Claxton, Camp Thomas, Ben Saraf, come on. Young Pablo, what’s up? Make it harder to take legit. It’s go time. We’ll see what they’re made of now. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What’s up, Rockus? You going to do a recap pod or video for this game? Uh, not tonight. I’m not sure what my my content plan, so to speak, is we’ll be we’ll be hanging out um at the end of the stream. I’ll I’ll talk about it as like a as the before I close it out, but as like a standalone thing, not likely. Which by by the way, since we’re here and we’re early on, this is a weird request, but send out if you if you’re a religious individual here, I’m going to put the Hornets like on a serious note. Let me go full screen because it’s like a it’s a serious thing. My girlfriend’s mother Renee is going under is is having surgery tomorrow and it’s like serious. It’s like very serious. So, prayers to Renee would be greatly appreciated just to not talk about basketball right now. And as the game goes, she’s gonna my girlfriend’s gonna come home here at some point tonight. So, I may step away from the stream because she’s at the hospital now. So, just a FYI early on before we start talking about the fun stuff. Sends prayers out to Renee if you don’t mind. But let’s go go back to the basketball. Appreciate y’all. Appreciate y’all. That’s about to get that [ __ ] and ball torture. That’s what I’m saying, man. Appreciate you, Mike. Thank you, Rockus. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Looks like KJ Simpson’s not suiting up either. Looks like he’s in street clothes, maybe. But here we go. Let me put this up here. I’m going to be going to the game on the the Wolves game. So, just from like a a scheduling reminder for these streams as far as these streams go. Let me pull up the hornet schedule real quick. Is it the next game? So, yeah, I’ll be streaming Saturday. The plan is to stream Saturday and Sunday and Tuesday. Yeah, probably all these games and then not the first. So, the plan is to stream to be here streaming all this stuff. All these one, two, three, four, five, the first five games of the season. I’m going to be in the building for this one and I think maybe Utah too. I’m not sure what I got to check my friend Jason um about what we got, but there’s a scheduling note. Scheduling note so far. Uh no no GoFundMe. no good for me. Just just just wishes and and and positive thoughts will will mean a lot. Will mean a lot. If you don’t if you weren’t here, I I talked about a little bit um when I streamed the first preseason game and she broke her leg, but she has some other health issues that just makes it all complicated. Like a simple like leg break, as simple as that can be, just compounded with some other stuff is just really brutal. She’s been in the hospital this whole time. Like, think about how long ago that uh that first preseason game was. She had already been in the hospital for like a week at that point. It’s it’s it’s brutal. So, prayers for Renee for for real. Uh Brooklyn win the tip. Let me refresh this. Went to visit her over this past weekend. And yeah, just hoping for the best, man. Hope the Hornets slide right there. Cal Burner all over Claxton. Claxton with the rainbow. No good. Hornets ball. Good defensive possession right there. Good start. Good start with the D. Good start. Good start. LaMelo to Caniple. Canipple crosscourt to Bridges. Bit of a wild pass. Bridges brings it down. Bridges with the He’s going to the free throw line. I like it. The Hornets aren’t settling for jumpers early on. Caniple the rook made a little sloppy pass. Miles Bridges gets it, drives, shooting two free throws. Would much rather have Miles Bridges go into the bucket than settling for jumpers. Let’s see if it can convert. First free throw attempt is good. All right, second attempt for Bridges. No good rip. All right, Miles goes one of two from the line. Nets ball. Good lock down. Do you usually win? When we don’t, it’s another story. Yeah, Mike. You know, keep your right arm down. We Oh, you can see that. Don’t tell Adam Silver about the reflection. Oh. Yo, I said my stream went down. Hold on. I Oh, no. My feed My fe my feed went black. Hold on. I missed Kipple’s first bucket. No, I gotta rewind it. What the hell? There we go. Can brings the ball up. Yeah, do coast to coast with it basically with a reverse layin. Come on, dog. Come on, dog. Come on, man. Cal Brener with the rebound off the miss. Bridges to Miller. Miller pulls up for three. No good. Miles with a rebound. Can’t finish. Two more free throw attempts coming in for Miles Bridges. Hope the coach lets Brandon operate in the mid-range a little more this season since that’s his bread and butter. Nipple nickname should be 2K. I like it. I like it. I like it, man. 7K is good, too. Yeah, it’s a good one, too. Yeah, he get Bridge is getting the SGA treatment. He makes both his free throws this time down. Hornets up five. Brooklyn shut out so far after two minutes. Claxton drives. Layup is good. RIP. I was looking at U on bet 365 just or bet 365 just to see if anything was interesting there. I stayed away from all of it, but I was curious about LaMelo Ball and his uh three-point attempt over under. That thing was set at nine and a half. Very very tempting to take the over right there, but it’s it’s a stay away. Everything’s a stay away right now. This early. LaMelo to Cal Brener. Oh, bro. He passed the wrong guy. Oh, man. Ryan had Brandon Miller and Conanipple in the corner and I I don’t know if that slipped out his hands or chang his mind midway, but that was a bad pass. L possession from the from the rook. I was going to call him a young man. He is a young man. He’s 20. Like he’s 25, but like for rookie, he’s an he’s an adult rookie, man. Brandon Miller, let’s go. Big alleyoop in transition. LaMelo to Brandon. Locked in. Come on. Damn. Saraf with the bucket. Some bumps and jitters here in the first game. Absolutely. LaMelo for three. No good. Bridges with the offensive board. All he tries to get it to the rookie. Rookie sends the other rookie. Canipple. He’s almost travels twice. O. That’s back-to- back rookie half court possessions right there. Canipple not really making his mind up. They score the alleyoop. Great W stuff. And then the next time down Canipple looks like he got away with two travels and it led to a turnover. But you’ll have that. You’ll have that. I like I like this. I like that the kids are starting and they’re getting some run with the ones, so to speak. Come on. Run with the block on Claxton. Come on, dog. Uh, I’m here for it. Steve Clifford would never. I’m here for it, man. I’m here for it. And like, fundamentally, it makes a lot of sense. Diabate is not a starting center. So, regard I think keeping Diabate in his role, no matter who else is on the roster, whether it’s Plumbley or K Brener, makes a lot of sense. And I’m here for it. I’m so I’m so glad we’re not watching Mason Plum play basketball right now. So glad. Respectfully. Respectfully. LaMelo’s wide open for three. Make him pay. Yes, sir. Bang. First triple for LaMelo. Is that his first attempt? No. Second attempt. Damn. Is that MPJ for three? Back-to-back buckets for for him. And the Nets Miller for three off the catch. No good. Shiraff with the rebound. Cam Thomas, man. Oh, he stepped out of bounds. We getting some calls tonight. We getting some calls. I think my channel has evolved the last six season. It’s crazy how long. I don’t know, man. Like it was it’s meant to be like a like a diary kind of channel where I’ll just like log. I never I didn’t expect to when I started I didn’t expect to do live streaming and it’s become my favorite thing to do on the channel. Got to do some cool stuff and talk to some cool people over the years. But I I like this. I like this the most. Canipple Oh, Cal Benner LaMelo. LaMelo drives floater. No good. Back room miss with the rebound. Brooklyn in like a very slow fast break. The slowest of fast breaks. MPJ floer. No good. RIP. Neo Porter to get off. They I I expect this. I expect both teams. I don’t know what the number is with the I guess it should be here. I’m sure it’s somewhere on this page of what the overunder is. Yo, Colin Ston getting a not that was a standing ovation. He’s not standing ovation, but a nice warm welcome by the Hornets fans. I love me some Colin Saxon. That guy’s a dog. Capital D A WG dog Claxton with the bucket like on both ends. He’s badly needed. That’s the type of like type of vet that we badly need. And I hope he sticks around. I’ve been pretty firm on the fact that or the opinion that he’s going to get traded for draft picks because he’s an expiring contract and he’s really good. But if if this works, I hope they can hold on to him. I hope they could hold on to him because he is a dog. Speaking of Sexton with the floater off the Come on. Come on, man. Sexton get to the free throw line. He’s been on the He’s been on the floor for like 30 seconds and you you know he make his he made his impact known immediately. I love that. I love that with like the the the difference man between him and respectfully Seth Curry for instance as that veteran guard is such an upgrade. And you know if you could for easily with with respect you could easily forget Seth Curry was out there. Not like that with with K sexy. Not like that at all. And don’t get me started on the the Jeffre of the world. You know what I mean? Even Nick Smith Jr. like that that like bench guard spot has been a ghost town. Oh my god. What a three. LaMelo hits the floor off the screen. Damn. There goes the lead. There goes the lead off already. 1412 Brooklyn. He has a rat tail, man. It’s iconic. It’s iconic. Didn’t get cut. Yeah, he did. He did. That’s another thing, too. Like where the roster is now, you can see it, right? Oh, actually, let me let me pull since we’re we got a commercial right now. Let me pull something up. Stand by. Stand by. Stand by. Like, it’s a major shift on where we’re at, where we’re at now versus where we’re at last season. Okay. So, that’s Let me zoom in. That may be a little small. I don’t know. But okay. Seth Curry played in 68 games for the Charlotte Hornets last season. He’s for now out the league. Nick Smith Jr. fifth amount of games played last season on a two-way. Tan Salon, he’s on the roster, but is he NBA player? We don’t know yet, right? Jeff, Mark Williams traded twice. He was traded. He’s out the league. He’s on a two-way. He’s in Europe, right? The the ma the main contributors that we had to witness last season are either out the country or out the league entirely right now. So like the levels the levels have improved quite a bit early on, right? Diabate NBA player. Salon, it’s a push. Mason Plumbley, he’s an NBA player. He’ll be in the NBA next year. He may not be very, you know what I mean, but he’s a legitimate basketball player. Coneton. I don’t know about that. That’s a That’s a tough one for me. U quality vet though. He’s more of the of the Seth the Seth Curry vibes. Seth is better shooter obviously, but from like an impact point of view, I think it’ll be about the same if if anything, right? Trey man, he should be better than he was last year. Seion James two-way guy. We’ll see. And then McNeely, he’s a rookie. We’ll see. Like the levels the levels have have been raised from top to bottom. And there’s no Grant Williams here, right? There’s no Josh Green here. Those NBA players, like there’s way more NBA talent, NBA quality talent, NBA like rotational like real talent this year than we’ve seen last year’s. And speaking of, is this James making a first quarter appearance? What we saying? What we saying? Okay, Charles Lee is letting the kids run. We’ve got three rookies touching the floor looking like already. Yeah, James with the inbound. Oh, hell yeah. Hell yeah. So, it’s LaMelo, Ston, James, uh, Cal Brener, and Bridges. Sexton to Cal Brener. Let’s go. Love that. Sexton operating as a point guard. He brought the ball up off the inbound and had LaMelo off ball in the corner. That’s another thing to watch out for. LaMelo’s a LaMelo is a great player. Like don’t get me wrong, but like he’s been really he’s had to really do it all. Cal Benner with another big Ryan getting the big man involved early off the after the timeout. I like that. getting some nice high percentage buckets, but allowing LaMelo to play off ball, it’s going be a game changer, man. Having Sex in there operating as that primary ball hand. Here we go again. LaMelo and Sexon. I’m cool with either of those dudes bringing the ball up now. Very cool with that. LaMelo with the layup. Blocked. Cal Ber with the backto backto back buckets. Come on, dog. Let’s go. Do we officially have a big three? We getting there. That’s terrible. Talent evaluation needs to prove big time. For real. They’re probably they’re going to resign him later. Probably in a couple days for money reasons. Who’s that? Seth. Yeah. Seth or Dcoin. It’s You know what I mean? But like cockbron sex step back three. No good. No good. can’t get the board. Claxton with the rebound. But the like the point is like no one is no one’s hitting up Seth Curry like, “Yo, we got to get you on our roster right now.” That’s kind of what that’s kind of the the sentiment I’m trying to get invol trying to get across here. Um, compared to how much he was used for the Hornets last season, like it’s just the state of the roster. But again, I I I was saying it all last year. I don’t think that that roster was built to compete anyway. When Grant Williams went down, they were a 10 seed. Just they were in it and they did nothing to replace Grant. If anything, they got they actively made the team worse after Grant got hurt. But game is the game. Got Caniple out of it. Got McNeely out of it. Got Seion James and Cal Brener. The best center in Hornets history so far. MPJ with the miss. Seion with a tough ass rebound. I like that from him. That’s what I want to see from him. I never want to see shoot. I want him jumping after loose balls. Pause and getting physical. I like that from him. Kev Thomas for three. Is he fouled? He was fouled. Who did that? Who did that? Who did that? Colin, you know better, dog. You can’t foul him like that, man. You can’t foul Cam Thomas like that, man. Which rookie do you have the highest hope for? Oh, for the Hornets? Canipple. Caniple. McNeely I like a lot. It’s It’s like a great like lottery ticket. I think there’s a chance for that to be a really great value pick considering his high school pedigree. I know you can say whatever you want about his Yukon stint, but he’s a talented young man and probably went lower than he should have. But I’m excited for Cal Benner. Oh [ __ ] here comes Sal. Uh, I’m excited for u James just from like a like I was talking about with Khan Ston like having a tough competitive having as many tough and competitive dudes as possible is where you want to be. Salon check like right now on the floor right now there’s four of them. I’m not sure who the fifth man is on the floor right now is LaMelo. Okay, so you have with LaMelo right now. Oh, wait. Speaking of LaMelo, Sexton, Sexton, Tan Salon drives, layup. No good. RIP Muso with the rebound. LaMelo for three. Ah, no good. Come on, man. Seion with a tough offensive board and the dunk. Let’s go, dog. [ __ ] Love it. Love it. That’s what I’m saying. So the toughness factor, right, the competitiveness factor is paying off right now with the all engine team out here. Like Salon, if he’s anything, he is work rate and engine and and intensity, right? That you’re guaranteed that. Musa Diabate, you’re guaranteed that. Seion James, thus far, guaranteed that. Sexton LaMelo. Like it’s there. This is when they say Hornets DNA. This is the [ __ ] they’re talking about. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. So, who haven’t who haven’t we seen yet? No. Mason, no. Try back. Oh, speaking of, so not last weekend, but the weekend of four, weekend before there was a big um card show at uh the Park Road, is it Park Road Expo? Is that what it is? Near Bojangles. This man Grant Williams was there, not doing meet and greets, not on some paid appearance. He was there 10 toes down in a booth selling cards. He I think he he has a definitely has an Instagram and definitely has a Tik Tok like Grant Will Collects or something like that and he’s about it. He was out there stand standing I was I was I was like taking a look at his knees like is this guy gonna be ready to go? Um I wanted to buy something from him but it was all baseball and NFL stuff and not not it’s not not anything I’m interested in collecting. also some pretty high-end stuff that I really didn’t want to invest in. Um, but he was out there and like in the trenches with it. So, I have a ton of respect for Grant Williams. But, man, if he had any soccer or [ __ ] any like cool NBA stuff, I’ve been all over it. But, lot of lot of NFL stuff. A lot of NFL stuff. Dlo, what’s up? Love this energy we have right now. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Hope we’re going through a culture change. We’re seeing it. Look right now. Sexon off the timeout. Nearly gets a steal. Thomas Oh, he’s fouled by James. Dan, that sucks, bro. That sucks, bro. life revives. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Rookie looking good. Haven’t seen McNeely yet, but outside of two, Cal Benner had a definitely had a rookie moment. Canipple had a rookie moment. Seion James probably just had his right now. Um, fing getting fully baited by Cam Thomas on the jumper. You’re gonna have that, but The effort is there. These are these are already looking like NBA players. Cam Thomas goes one or two. Seion can rest easy knowing it was only one one point mistake. Hornets down two. LaMelo with the ball breaking down. Layup clean. Doing it all himself. Love that. Hornets spread it out. Spread it the floor for him. Making it happen. Making it happen, man. But, uh, life for Vibes and anyone else that’s that’s new around here, welcome. Make sure you like, make sure you subscribe. I’ll be streaming every game, every Hornets game until the Wolves game because I’m going to be in the building for that one and then we’ll figure it out from there. But this what I what I do on this channel. Hey man, appreciate you. Appreciate y’all. This is This is fun when things are going well. I know. Well, the Nets just took the lead with the free throw, but this is always the goal to have fun watching the Hornets play basketball. Hopefully winning basketball with y’all. Unfortunately, last few years, the Hornets haven’t haven’t held up their their part of the bargain, but we’re here. Fresh, clean slate, and this roster. These rookies are looking nice. Sex drives. Colin Sexon with the layin. High effort, high intensity, high work rate. Love that. Williams for three. Bricks it. Sharp can’t handle it on its ball. Let’s go, baby. Let’s go. Let’s go. All right. Sexton bringing the ball up again. The Melo send a screen, floats out. Saxon looks him off, puts up a jumper. No good. We’re seeing a lot of Saxon operate as the as the point guard. I’m here for it, man. Here for that. Here for that. Sharp lay clean. Aloop wasn’t there. Second chance makes it happen. Okay, LaMelo has his chance to bring the ball up. Sexon for three in the corner. Clean, baby. Sex’s fire, bro. Sex is fire. He’s so dope. He’s so so dope. The hell’s that, man? A little pushing and shoving going on. Oh, it’s a BYU kid. Is that the free throw line? Come on. Canipple checking in. Trey man making his first appearance of the evening. Is LaMelo come out? LaMelo still out there. Yeah. Okay. LaMelo’s taking a breather. He’s played this entire game so far. Take a break, young man. Take a breather. Musa with the bucket. Sharp with the finish off the miss. Sorry, Macho. Relax. Come here. Ston Trey, man. Can for three. First NBA triple. Pan Canipple. Perfect. Love it, man. Love it. Love it. We up. Oh, hey. Good defense. Good defense. Sexton to Diabate. Musa patient. Oh, he travel. He’s a little a little too patient. Seems like a tough call to be honest with you. I need you. I need to see the replay. That seemed like a a tough a tough break for Moose. Seemed like a tough break right there. Or maybe he needs to be more uh decisive down there. Put it up before he have a chance to travel. Oh, good steal. Miscommunications by the Nets players. Diamonte in transition with the lane. Yes, sir. Count it. Count it, baby. Count it. We up five. Eight fast break points on the night so far. Big stuff. Big big big big stuff right here. Good nipple. Or on a roll. This is on pace to be a this a barn burner. Is that a phrase? That’s a phrase, right? A high scoring affair. A very, very highscoring game. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I got to play defense when it matters. Do not get me wrong. But boy, 34 points in the first quarter. This team is shooting 54% from the field, 43 from three. What’s up? Look, Brooklyn is shooting 47%. This is fun. This is fun stuff. This is fun stuff. I feel like I’m getting robbed, too. About like I’m watching the NBA League pass feed, the arena view, the in arena stuff, and I I guess seeing the bench is cool. I’ll take it. You know what? It’s fine. This because not enough time for them to make people do tic-tac-toe and all that [ __ ] on the on the on the floor. Yo, what the hell? They cut away. RIP. I missed a bucket. They I was looking at NBA logo bracket uh graphic. Well, Trey man scored his first bucket of the year and the Net scored right away. RIP Ston, he’s fouled. He’s going to the free throw line. Like what I’m seeing from Musa offensively, it’s not leaps and bounds better, but he’s definitely improved on that end. I agree with you. I agree with you. My only knock on him was that like two possess two or three possessions ago where he was a little too indecisive and a little too patient and got got caught on that travel. But he knows what he is. You know, we don’t need him taking jumpers or hook shots. Like he needs to be moving towards the bucket with the ball in if he’s going for a dunk. Like two-handed dunks or layins all day. all day with that. Salon checking out. Salon checking out. Bridge is checking back in. Hornets up seven. 46 seconds left in the quarter for Charlotte. Trey man, Ston, Bridges, Diabate, and Canipple. Oh, the Nick Richards special. Dron Sharp with a moving screen. Hold that. Hold that. All right. Hornets ball tray man spin move. Hey, caniple picks it up. Hey, caniple play clean up work. Love that. Heads up rook. Heads up rook. Trey man picked up his dribble tried to I think he tried to pass it to Bridg’s underhand. That [ __ ] got intercepted and then Canipple got the ball back. Love that. Trey man. Trey man spin move baseline. Nowhere to go. Canipple in the corner. He’s stuck. He traveled. RIP. I’m a Hornets fan. I’m a Hornets fan, too. I’m a Hornets fan, too. Welcome. All fan bases are welcome here. But uh yeah, we’re here for the hornet stuff over over here. Did anybody watch um any of the ESPN inside the NBA stuff? I saw one clip of Charles Barkley on Twitter. Another bad screen. Nick Richards somewhere rolling over at his grave right now. But I haven’t seen any of the inside the NBA stuff. The NBA, the NBC presentation last night was cool. Was really cool. Not a big fan of Reggie Miller on the playbyplay to be honest with you. But hearing Round Ball Rock again, clean. Even the MJ segment is really weird and I I’m here for it. I feel like he’s I feel like he’s gonna be uh he’s just lying about not picking up a basketball, but I like that he’s doing it. I like that we’re hearing from Michael Jordan. I like that we’re hearing from him. And Lord knows how much money he’s making from NBC to do that stuff. But it seems like they got them for like an hour and they then give us like two or three questions and that and then they bounce and then we’ll we’ll pick it up next week. Same place, same time. But I hope they let him cook on some more current events. I’d love to get him like I think they said they next week he’s gonna they’re asking about load management. So that could be spicy. This is I don’t know what they’re reviewing. That’s a very clean basketball play. It sucks that he got hurt that he went down hurt Williams, but it’s a contact sport, dog. Contact sport. Tough collision, though. You’re right. Any chance we not be we might not be terrible. I think it’s a very good chance, but not terrible. I don’t think they’re going to be terrible. This team is done being at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, especially with Brooklyn being here. You know what I mean? There’s some really bad teams. The Hornets are not a really, really, really, really bad team. I don’t want to NBA finally move into second place. This Oh, on the Severe on on my end, you’re number one. You’re you’re in first place. I’m again, I have no idea how this top fan stuff works, but I appreciate you. I appreciate you. So, I’m seeing names in here. I don’t recognize, but hey, I don’t understand it because I’m I’m a boomer. I don’t get I don’t get it. Yeah. The What’s Wait, we got the result of the challenge. Hang on. What this ref is calling canipple nipple. That’s crazy. Said it twice. He called him nipple twice. The referee I don’t hate it. I don’t hate it. He’s a rookie. We don’t know. He hasn’t earned He hasn’t earned his full name yet. You got to earn the right for the refs to say your name properly. But the rookies, Cal Benner making his presence known on the glass. Here for it. Dunking like a mad man. I like that from him. Caniple. He made a three. He’s moving the floor. He’s playing heads up basketball. He knows where to be, where not to be. I like that from him. The effort there. Seion James 10 out of 10 from a engine work rate point of view immediately making his presence known like for instance Salon was out there and you would never have known right very very low impact on the game James active active active active we haven’t seen McNeely yet but Bridges with a heave no good no good that’s a quarter Golly 3832 Hornets. What a quarter. What a quarter. Yeah, that’s where I’m at, man. The VPN if I Listen, if I had I ain’t got it like that when I But if I I wish I had a VPN sponsor so I could hook y’all up with some like uh like a promo code or something like that. But dog. Yeah. That’s where That’s where That’s where I’m at. That’s how I’m That’s how I’m here. Good close out to the quarter. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. I think we’re going to be in a I think we’re at a place where the team is going to play selective defense because you can do you could really do Cal Brener Diabate in the front court, right? You can do uh it’s like you could do Sexon and Seion James and whoever you want to be that fifth guy and make it happen. Make it happen. And it’s only it only even get better when Grant Williams out there when he gets back. Hopefully he’s what he was before he got hurt because before he went down last year, he was the best defensive player on the team. Super versatile. So, need that back. Josh Green, too. You can probably put him in that mix once once he’s cleared. They got options to go like really heavy defense if they want to. If it comes down to it, that’s like I don’t want this to be a close game. I want the Hornets to kick their ass, right? But like in instances where they got to get a stop, it could be interesting to see how Charles Lee rolls these guys out who he trusts on high leverage defensive possessions and high leverage offensive possessions. Went down 27 more to go. He’s kind of playing good. His numbers look good, but Oh, he looks great. He looks amazing. genuinely if you if you could like if it was like you know that Black Mirror episode where like you could block somebody and you just see like their silhouette. You can’t hear their voice. You just kind of see this their their their presence, but you can’t even tell like who they are or what they even look like or anything like that. If you did that to this Hornets team, you could tell who’s you could tell when Sexon was out there. If you didn’t know anyone was gonna tell anyone’s number, name, uh, height, weight, any of that, just from circles on a map or just blobs of human of humanity running around. Anytime Sexon’s out there, you feel his presence and that is huge. What an addition. What an addition by this front office. Trey man, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, Conanipple, Ryan Cal, Brener start the second quarter. Brandon Miller for three, pump fakes. No, he drives. Sends out to Bridges. Bridges for three in the corner. It’s good. Bench is going crazy. Great way to start the second quarter. More buckets. More buckets. More buckets. More buckets. Love this energy. Understand the situation. Way each player can be at their best. Exactly. MPJ with the jumper but Bridges with the off ball foul on the screen. Okay, it takes the point away. So that’s cool, I guess. Uh where must be running on Texas for having the deal. Bro, I’ll never forget, man, that draft night when that news came that the Hornets traded that Bosamich was coming back in that trade. That is like a top five core memory for me in the six years. Seven, six years I’ve been doing this stuff on YouTube. That was I’ve never even close to I never cried on camera. I almost I almost really really cried with that ruined my night until I I found out where what was happening with him. Man man. Shout out to Colin Sexton man. What an upgrade again. another guy Sexton getting [ __ ] man. Sexton’s an upgrade over Trey man. He’s an upgrade over Vasameich. He’s an upgrade over Seth Curry. He’s an upgrade over Dcoan Jeff. He’s an upgrade over Nick Smith Jr. That alone is crazy. That alone is nuts. Canipple coming out. Seion James coming in. No McNeely yet. Trey man guarding the inbound. So, James Miller. Uh, yeah, James G. Seion’s gonna get get that’s the second time he got baited. Rookie [ __ ] But like that’s what he does. He’s meant to bring that effort. I don’t mind those types of mistakes. Leaving his feet off the pump fake and and fouls the is that Claxton? And Claxton’s a good guy to foul to be fair. To be fair. Excuse me. But um James, hella active, man. Hella active. Got so much respect for that. More guy, more guys that give a [ __ ] the better. Trey man, Miles Bridges, Seion James, Brandon Miller, Brian [ __ ] Benner out there. Bridges in the corner for three. No good. Claxton with the rebound. Nets’s on the move. Retired Sex number already. I’m here for it, man. I’m here for it. Yeah, rockets, man. You ruin my night, dog. Oh my god, man. [ __ ] Shouts to Vasa, man. Absolute legend. What a king. Claxton pump fakes a three. Claxton pump fake in the free throw. So so yuck, bro. So nasty. Okay. Miller. Who’s the other guard out here? Is this Trey man? Miller. Trey man. Yeah. Miller. Trey man. Seion James. Miles Bridges and Cal Benner. Bridges. Miller. Miller drives. Ah. Send it out. Setting it up. Miller for three. Love it. Come on, baby. Is that his first three? That is. Yeah. Miller fired it way too hard at Cal Brener. Ryan could get his hands in place to catch that thing. Can tracked it down. Got it back to Cal Benner. Cal sent it back to Brandon. Brandon with the triple. Locked it. And then that’s the score like it’s nothing. That’s what I hate to see when the when Charlotte has to really burn like a thousand calories for a bucket and then immediately give up a point the next rate next time down and just kind of negates all of that. All of that is just gone just like that. It’s a push because you just give up easy bucket on the other end. But it’s fine though, man. It’s a process at the end of the day as they say. betray man at the line. Good to have him back. Good to have him back. He was Man, we got robbed. We got We got robbed of a potential like streets won’t forget type season from Trey. Man, it’s a it’s a damn shame. You got paid. He’s still here. Oh, K Bren is what the hell. Ryan was like Cal Bren was like beating his own. This is crazy. Hold on. Wait. So Cal Brener had a few like cuts on his wrist, like on the outside of his wrist, the scratch marks. It looked like with his right hand, he was just like slamming his own thigh out of frustration. You got to relax, man. You gotta relax, man. Can’t beat yourself up like that, man. You got to relax. Shout out to Eric Collins, man. You got to call that that iconic Rico game. Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. Uh Eric Collins gonna be doing some NBA games, too. No, sorry, not NBA. Well, we know it’s NBA. uh NBC games, right? I’m afraid this I’m afraid we’re we’re gonna we’re in we’re in the end game with Eric Collins. I’m afraid I’m afraid. Obviously, nothing official. He hasn’t said anything. I know he loves it. Loves calling these games and all that, but like I’m afraid. I’m afraid of the end game, especially because like I’m just gonna balance this again. FanDuel Sports. We don’t I mean it’s FanDuel, I guess, but like you never know. You never know where they want to save some money. I’m afraid we’re going to lose their cons at some point, man. I don’t Do we have a ruling on [ __ ] Brener? I I I say [ __ ] Brener, but [ __ ] Brener is funnier, so I’m here for that. If we lose EC and DC, I will jump off flip. Yeah, we can’t do that. I think he loves Charlotte more than the bag. I hope so. I hope he gets both. He He deserves both. He deserves both. But like when this team is good, we need him. You know what I mean? When this team is like fighting for homecourt advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs, we’ll need Eric Collins calling games in February, March, and April, right? We need that. He’s called a bunch of [ __ ] that in that time of year. So, we need it. We need it. At least at least let him do it. Even if he does leave, come back for the good times, for the for the springtime, for the crunch time playoff run. End of season playoff run. We need that. And we He deserves it. He deserves it. He deserves it. Who’s the rotating fourth guy this year? I I don’t know. Is it Terrence still? Is it Terren? Because um I didn’t watch any of the the pregame stuff. I guess we’ll see it halftime. Also, I won’t see Brandon Miller for three. I don’t have that feed on the studio feed. I got the in arena stuff. So, if someone if they got like Frisbee playing dogs or whatever, I’ll be watching that instead of the halftime show. or my favorite I love I love the um Simon says guy that’s my favorite that’s my favorite leak pass halftime show thing to watch making these adults alike idiots I love the Simon says guyate with the floater also shout out to the red panda shouts to her honorable mention red panda is that her the she does the chairs. I feel like it’s not her name. Come on, baby. D about with the rebound. Hornets up six. Controlling the tempo a little bit. See you. Oh, Salon for three. Yes, sir. I love Salon off the catch. Love that. Let it fly. Catch it. Shoot it. If you have to dribble, pass it. This salon we’ve seen thus far is what I need to see from him this entire season. You get that? You get that look. You get that look. Let it fly. Let it fly. Melo hurt. No, Melo’s fine. He played like 10 minutes. He played the entire the first 10 minutes of the game. LaMelo did. Yeah, Ashley’s Ashley’s with uh the NBC team now. That’s all I’m saying, man. Like, they’re gonna leave our people alone. So, Eric is Eric is welld deserved. Welld deserved. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, Melo played a lot in the first quarter and as long as this lead is staying how it is, I don’t mind it going to like five minutes or so, you know, with LaMelo on the bench and then letting them finish the finish the the uh the half out. So shout out to Salon, man. That plus 15 plus minus MPJ eight points and a rebound, but Clax 58, three boards. Rebound has been really respectable. Horn’s winning that easily. Turn over push steals more blocks. But I like it, man. I like what I’m seeing so far. I like what I’m seeing so far. Speaking of Let me get this. Does anyone have any plans to go to any games anytime soon? because I’m I’m looking forward to um seeing the new place. Pictures look great. The videos look great. Also, if you don’t mind, if you haven’t done it already, drop a like on the on the stream. Do me a solid. Do me a solid. I’d appreciate it. For the first game of the year, for the first Hornets win of the year incoming. Give my Hornets ticket money to the Panthers. You know what? Uh, it’s valid. What is Bryce? Is Bryce playing Sunday? What’s What’s going on with Bryce? What’s going on with Bryce? And why the hell is Chuba starting? If somebody can answer those questions for me, let me know. I I I get it. He was a starter before he got hurt, but Rico is on a on a generational run right now and getting stifled right now. I don’t get it because that dude’s a monster. What in the hell? Chuba’s awesome, too. But like, come on. What we doing? What we doing, man? Salon pump fakes the three. He’s dribbling. Don’t like that. He gave it up, though. Brandon Miller for three. Yes, sir. Is that a second triple? I think so. I think that’s Brandon’s Yeah, second made three for Brandon Miller. I like that from you. I like that from you, big dog, man. Oh, Seion chasing down a loose man. Damn, what a layup. No call. Thomas with the easy bucket. Wasn’t an easy bucket. He went to the floor. He paid the price for it. Miller baseline. Oh, he’s trying to baptize Sharp. Bryce is out. I want to I haven’t been to a game in four years. Last one was Timberwolves back in November 2021. Bill, first free throw is good. All right, Brandon Miller. Miller. Second free throw attempt. Brandon two for two. Khan, show me another three-pointer by by Divas. Uh, Khan’s not out there right now. Unfortunately, he’s not out there right now. LaMelo Brandon, Musa Dia, can James, and Tan Salon. Haven’t been to Hornets game since Durk, last game in Charlotte. Shout out Durk, man. I love me some Dirk Biscuit. Love me some dark biscuit. Sir, first free throw. No good. Okay. Whoa. Who’s playing this? Salah plays better. Oh, no. No, no, no. Okay, never mind. Uh, can see coming out. Sexton coming in. What’s going on here? Okay. Yeah. Miller ball, Diabate, Salon, and Sexton. Miller drives, pulls up, mid-range jumper. No good. off with the rebound. Yeah, he gets the board. I don’t know about McNeely. He hasn’t he hasn’t touched the floor yet. Hasn’t touched the floor yet. Doesn’t look He’s at the end of the bench. Not looking good, bro. But if this thing becomes Oh, Salah with the D. Do you count? Does that count as a block? I don’t know. Good effort, man. Good tan, man. Good luck. Good effort. Good effort. Good effort, man. He got robbed a little bit. Great great defense on Sherro. Rotates. He gets called for the foul on Thompson. On Cam Thomas. That’s some [ __ ] Thomas just puts a shoulder in the salon and gets called for the foul. That’s nonsense, man. It’s a [ __ ] call. [ __ ] call. Yeah. Eric Collins. He hits the he hits the L and [ __ ] Benner. All right. Thomas hits both his free throws. Melo gets double crossing half court. Salon. Okay, now we’re back to normal. Man oh man. Salon pump fakes, dribbles right. Brandon for three. LaMelo’s wide open for three. Oh, no good. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. You got to make those. Got to make those. Brandon making an extra pass for LaMelo Ball. Gifted him a wide open look. Cam Thomas sharp. Sharp versus Yeah. Dear Bate, God bless you, man. But like you’re just not not can’t compete with the bigger guys like Sharp. Deb about is going to lose those matchups against those taller guys. Brutal, man. Brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal. Yo, how we how we looking on the foul situation right now? Miles has one, Brandon has two, Ryan has two, has two, Moose has two, Tjan has two, Zion has two. That’s fine. They got so they have 10 or 14 probably.

That’s a good one. I was at a card shop and I was a card shop. I think it was Yeah. and Valentine just to see what kind of know what they have and I was looking at their like I don’t know the the term for it. I’m gonna call it the junk or budget pile but I’m gonna call it that respectfully. And you know they got it separated by teams like nothing’s in in like penny sleeves or anything. There’s a bunch of raw cards sorted by teams. And just flipping through the Hornet section, it’s like, God, who he play for all stars, man. It’s the most random dudes over the years, which is why they’re they’re in that in that pile of just random players, but uh and not in like the case, just like sitting in the in the raw pile. What’s going on with this feed? By the way, I lost I lost Eric and Dell. It’s only coming out my left ear, which There we go. There we go. That was freaking me out. All I could hear was crowd noise in my left earphone or headphone. That’s a travel dog. Hold that. Get that [ __ ] out of your camp. This thing is just staying at a five-point game. Every time. Every time. Vegas knows what knew what they were doing, man. when they set the line. Charlotte needs to pull needs to find a way to pull away here. Colin Ston off. Let’s go. Sexton a mellow. Colin Ston is a [ __ ] game changer. Sorry for cursing, but brother, what are we saying? What are we saying? Anyway, Miles Melo wants it back. He wants that thing. Dumps into Bridges with a slam.

What the f Oh my god. What an alley. Oh, Melo to Brandon Miller. What the hell? Net sleeping Charlotte making them pay. Oh, Melo with a really bad foul right there. That’s really brutal. Couldn’t get there in time. Just reached for him. That’s reached. What a dunk. Holy [ __ ] That was He got his palm on that, too. Damn. What the hell? Yeah, that Melo Brandon connection looking nice. All right, Shar with the free throw. First one’s good. This kid’s all right. I respect it. I respect it. It’s very him and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Oh, Sharpa misses the free throw. I uh I respect the going under anesthesia to get it all done in like one sitting. I respect it. Canipple, Miller, LaMelo, Cal, Brener, Bridges, the starting five, the game. There’s five that started the game out there right now to close out the half. Looking like LaMelo looking for help. Hits the floater. No good. O damn, I thought I was going in. No good with the floater. Leonard Fernet jersey. Come on. Oh, Ryan with the block. Block. Brener. Come on. LaMelo to Bridges with a dunk in transition off the block. Come on, man. Can we get All right, listen. Can we call him Ryan Block Brener? Can we get that going? Is that a thing that can happen? That’d be awesome. If Feel free to to If we can make that a thing, I don’t I don’t even want credit. Don’t even want credit. Just like the stream and follow me on Twitter and say it as much as you want. But Ryan Block Brener all day with it. Lock it in. Blockbrer is also awesome. Cog blocker is also fire. The [ __ ] fire. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go. All right. Caniple coming out. Trey man coming in. [ __ ] blocker. My guy. My guy. Camp Thomas. Free throw. Good. All right. 10-point game. Two minutes left. LaMelo. Whoa. What the hell? It’s a reaching foul. Who’s that? Williams again. Please call him [ __ ] blocker in a video. Cockbringer is crazy. That is that you if he if he ends up having like how many kids does Philip Rivers have? Does he have like 17 kids? If if [ __ ] Brener ends up having a [ __ ] ton of kids, he can be called Cockbringer. He could he that will be earned and deserved for sure. If he just lays it down like that and he has hella kids, he’s a cockbrer for sure. Certified. I know he’s married. I know he’s a married man. So I say that with respect. With respect to your misses 11 or something. Yes. Just just reading. Oh, loose ball. Free points. Free points. Free points. Free points. Big dunk. Big alley. Come on, dog. Let’s go, champ. Easy buckets. Clean buckets. Miles Bridges. Oh, I don’t know who gets the credit for that rebound, but Trent Man bringing it up into Miles. 80 seconds. Bridges turns around, hits the floater over Shiraff. Bing bong. I think him and his wife are having one right now. Come on, man. He’s on his way. Fulfill the destiny, dog. Melo Brandon, lock in. Lock in, man. Lock in, dog. Get more kids in the cannon, I think. LaMelo is putting Brandon to work, man. like putting him making him jump out the gym every opportunity he can. I’m here for it. Saraf on the inbound. Porter Jr. for three. No good. They get it. Saraf chases down the offensive board. No one really in there any area to to capture it. Clax it too big. Too tall. All right, 40 seconds left. Brandon Miller with the ball. Top of the key. Hornets five out. The hell was that? Mouse at the just the most whack screen. Brandon dribbling the ball way too long. He has a free throw. He has two free throws coming out of it though. To be fair, that is an area of the game where Brandon really missed out in his sophomore season. He he kind of sucked at it to be honest with you. A lot of his turnovers came from trying to run the pick and roll and the handle and the passing wasn’t really there last season. Um, and he really lost an opportunity to get better at it because of the injury. Um, all right. Miller first read. Uh, need need that from him. Need that in his game for sure. He’ll get there I’m sure, but like got to get got to get him got to get him there. Got to get him there. Needs that. All right. Bangs both free throws. 15-point game. 30 seconds left in the half. That’s making us look elite. Come on. What you mean? We’re We’re This is an elite team right here. Saraf taking it to Musa. Oh, Musa with the block. Coast to coast, dog. Let’s go. Let’s go. Brandon was like, “No, Miller was there. Brandon was at the cup.” And then he backed off. He said, “Moose, do it.” I It looked like Moose took a took off like a step too early. No, he he finished that thing like he meant it. Love it. Love it, boy. Cam Thomas baseline bricks it off the bottom of that rim. Half full court he no good. Come on. Beautiful, beautiful way to end the half. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful way to end the half. Musa from the free throw line. Not really, but like come on, man. The Nets are ass. Nets are big trash. And uh we all right. We all right, man. We all right. We all right. All right. Halftime half smoking for real. What? I listen. I don’t If this is the team we get to watch every night, win or lose, I am here for this. I love this. The effort there on both ends. A lot of mistakes defensively giving up really cheap fouls, right? and just getting out outsized down on the block. Not much you could do there. But man, they running the floor. They fighting for rebounds. They’re going after lazy passes and creating opportunities. That’s all at this at this stage of the rebuild. I think that’s all you could hope for. Make the free throws. Clean up the fouls. Mike. Exactly. Exactly, Mike. And yeah, health severe. Great, great point. Health is massive. Health is massive. Health is massive. After one half, Miles Bridges 12 points, seven Oh, excuse me. Nine rebounds. Uh, Brandon Miller with 17. Team high. Yeah. Yeah. Team high for Brandon. Five of 10. Two of five from distance. Three alioops for him. I think three definitely two two bangers. I feel like there was a third one in there um in the in the course of action. LaMelo 10 points, seven assists. I feel like half of more than half of those are alleys by the way. Love that. Love that. You think Bridge is hitting 19 points? Yeah, I think he will. I think he will. I think he will. Um, Musa getting after one block. Love this. Matter of fact, can I just pull up because he he everything’s been a dunk except for one like hook shot for Musa. Love that from him. You know, playing within yourself. Here for that, Salon. The one make was a catch and shoot three on the Tan Salon scale. That’s a 10 out of 10. I’m here for that. Colin Saxon is a goddamn animal and I’m so happy he’s on the roster. Shout out to him. Mr. Impact himself. Trey man. Bit of a passenger out there. Can’t lie. But it’s hard. It’s hard to shine right now. He’s doing what he needs on the floor. And see how James is he has a chance to be like a real like cult hero. Like he’s doing he’s the dirty work guy. He’s the Cody Martin of the team. Like the the dirty work dude. Grander guy. God. Attempts is good means we’re being aggressive. Yes. Gota keep the footnotes a second need that parlay. If not we straight ramen. Is that is uh re is that the uh is that the final leg of your parlay? Bridg is getting to 19 because if he just continues to run the floor like this he’ll get that easily. And especially with how this game is going, I feel like everybody’s going to get some points tonight. Points are a plenty tonight. Oh, man. All right. I believe in you. I I believe in the parlay. I believe in it. I believe in it. All right. It’s halftime. I’m going to step away. Get a I’ll be back for the second half, the third quarter. Stay tuned. Make sure you like. Make sure you subscribe. All right, I’mma leave. By the time I come back, you better have liked. You better subscribe. All right, in a bit. In a bit. In a bit. All right. All right. So, what’s up, y’all? This is a great game for Charlotte. The Nets are The Nets are garbage. Nets are hot. Garbage. We hoping, Danny. Exactly, man. That’s what I mean. That’s That’s where I’m at right now. That’s where I’m trying to like find perspective on this because My dog has found his whale toy and decided to to bring it into the office. So that that’s what you’re hearing if you can hear that. Um what they’re doing right now they can do against the best teams and that is lock the [ __ ] in. Right? Like there. These boys are communicating. They’re rotating. They’re competing. They can do this against anybody. Anybody. And that at at minimum, that’s what this team should be. Just a team that is going to be a tough matchup. LaMelo for three. No good. Right. Shot making is going to come and go. Feel me? Canipple for three. Bang. And when it’s good, it’s good. But at minimum, we need these boys competing every night. And I’m here. I think they’re I think they’re equipped and built to do that. Equipped and built to compete. Geez. So Raf breaks the three. Terrence man for three. The chemistry is crazy. Yeah. No halftime snack. So, uh, my girlfriend just got home from the hospital, from visiting her mom in the hospital who’s having a very serious surgery tomorrow. So, I said this at the top of the stream, I’ll say it again. Now, if you’re if you’re in if you’re a religious person or into faith at all and you feel like praying, send some prayers up for Renee for tomorrow. That’d be greatly appreciated. Um, [ __ ] burner. Oh, I can’t get it. Uh, so she just got home, so I was catching up with her. Wilson for three. Jeez. Jeez. The backtoback threes for the for the Nets, man. That’s what I’m talking about. Stop scared, man. the but yeah, this team is firing off on a comp very a super competent level and it’s a beautiful thing. It’s a beautiful thing. And you know what? This team is talented, too, right? Like we talked about this earlier, just even looking at it’s a it’s a timeout right now, but like look at who was playing who was playing the majority of games last season, right? Seth Curry without a team. Nick Smith Jr. released and on a two-way, right? To John Sal, right? Dcoan Jeff, Mark Williams got traded twice. Feel me? It’s brutal. The Taj Gibson played 37 games last season. That is crazy. Me, my boy. Right. That’s last year. The year before that, right? JT Thor out the league. Bryce McGawins actually know is JT with Cleveland still I don’t know with respect but they’re talking about JT Thor. Bryce McGow and Nick Smith Jr. these guys are gone. Nick Richards is gone. PJ gone is Smith bro. What we talking about? This team is so much better than it was last season and the year before. My only concern is against a better team. What this how this front court holds up just from like a roster construction point of view and if this team will stay together, if the Hornets will start trading guys out. I don’t know. I don’t know. I have fictional money, hypothetical money on Colin Ston getting traded this year. I don’t want him to get traded. I think he’s sick and I want him part of this project. But if he told me he got traded, I I’d be like, “Okay, that makes sense because I think he’s worth at least one first round draft pick. At least at least one.” Thor is teamless right now. This is what I mean, man. Like look and then look at this team. You got two rookies out here, but no one’s no one thinks Cal Brand is gonna be out the league in two years, right? No. Like he’s going to be around, right? Diabate is been stamped as an NBA guy. Salon, we’ll see. There’s a chance there’s a chance to John Salon’s out the league next year. Like, you never know. I doubt it. I really doubt it, but you never know if he’s the best candidate for it. Seion James is looking like he can stick around. He has the aptitude to stick around and be a real NBA guy, right? Like it’s already leveled up. And there’s no Grant Williams here. There’s no Josh Green here. It’s a great We’re in a great place right now. Really great place. Like for right now and going forward. Loose ball. Hornets ball. Come on. Sh Smith, you right. You right. You right. Right. Okay. Brandon Miller, LaMelo Ball, Coniple or Nipple as the referee called uh Miles Bridges. Is block burner out there? No, it’s the Brandon with the and one, baby. Brandon Miller. He still has his team high. Yeah, he still has the team high. Many many demons save the SL. Yeah. Excuse me. Khan. Looks good, man. Looking good. Looking good, man. 17-point game. Debontra sagging off Claxton. I wish Claxton would shoot it. I wish he would. I wish he would. Shot eight. She she got to lay. Diabate can’t do much about that. Can’t do much about Claxton on the post. Diabate gets it back though. He hits a floater right above Claxton. He He gets it back. He got his He got his revenge. Got his receipt. Is that a block? Brandon with the block on Shar. Looks like it’s Brooklyn’s ball, though. It’s a lot of defense. You could argue that most of the draft Oh, defense. Most of the draft could be out the league. You’re not wrong. Yeah, you’re not wrong. But with any of these rookies, man, with any of these rookies, you never know. And I think Salon as long as he stay continues to stay within himself like being a high effort guy um a really solid like work rate and not a liability on defense and then just being a catch and shoot guy on offense and active floor runner. Like that’s a recipe to stay in the league. You you get you can he’ll see out his rookie deal entirely just doing that stuff alone. And he’s so young that you never really know. Never know with these guys. He has so much potential, so much upside. It’s just tough when you look at like, oh man, he’s their backup power forward right now. Feel me? Like that’s where it gets a bit. It gets a bit tough. Brandon with four fouls, by the way. Yuck. Yuck. 15-point game. 621 left. All right. Canipple on the inbound. Canipple ball. Ston. Diabate. Bridges. LaMelo. Step back. Three. Clean. Clean with it. Clean with it. Three of seven from distance for Melo. Come on. What the hell? Moving screen. Yeah. Yeah. Nick Richards is rolling over in his grave right now. Dayro Sharp with a bad screen. Hornets ball. Come on. Come on. All right. Ston bringing the ball up now. I love this. I love this. Another quality ball handler. LaMelo sending screen fading out. Sexon throws it away. Rip. Oh, it got bailed out. Got bailed out. Brooklyn couldn’t give German couldn’t even get the ball across half court. Hornets ball. Drummond can’t do it. Daryl. Yeah, man. You had a couple a couple. Oh my god. Can just threw the ball away. Fellas, lock in, boys. What in the hell? Another sloppy foul. Who was that on? Is that Sexton with LaMelo? Ston throws the ball away. Nets turn the ball over crossing half court. Then Canipple throws the ball away on the inbound. Then then a cheap foul is picked up. Whoa. Sharp with a damn Sharp with a big offensive board and put back. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I can niple on the ball out to Melo. They double Melo. That’s risky. That’s risky with Canipple out there. Sexon takes a dribble. Fires up the three. Back room miss. Brooklyn ball. Tough. Tough. Sharp. Yo, get that [ __ ] Khan. Sharp was Sharp was dribbling the ball out here. Out here. Khan getting after it. Turnover. Hold that. Khan. Heads up defense. All right. Colin bringing the ball up again. Lamela off ball. Active. Back to Ston. Diabate with the screen. Oh, Sexton puts the ball up. Nothing to show over it. All right, Brooklyn ball. What a bounce pass. Nice. That was a nice feed there from for for Brooklyn. Wilson for three. No good. And brother Charlotte is fighting. Was that Bridges and Melo not communicating on that rebound and leads to a wild pass in the Brooklyn ball? Shame. All right. Seion coming into the game. Trey man coming into the game. This John Salon coming into the game. So was that that Bridges and Ston and Canipple out? Romelo Canipple and Bridges I think. Yeah. Checking out. So Trey man your back court looking like Trey man. Oh Saxon and Seion with your front court Diabate and T Johnson line. Bro, come on. Come on. Come on. Salah. Salah. Sal. Oh, tough. Tough. All right, Trey. What you got, dog? What you got, Trey? Trey to sexy. Back to Trey. And Trey, turn the ball over. Goddamn. We need a timeout, man. There’s some weird weird weird stuff. Okay, got bailed out. Brooklyn turned the ball over and then Collins going to the line. Honestly, forget the timeout. This is a good way to settle things down too beyond just taking a timeout. Oh, it’s a side. Is it a side out? It’s not a free throw. No continuation. Oh, damn. No free throw. Never mind. I appreciate the effort either way. Sexton driving to the lane trying to get a free try to draw a foul to like reset the pace a little bit. Unfortunately, didn’t didn’t go. But Hornets ball Colin lo to salon. Let’s go, baby. Come on. Lob city, [ __ ] Come on. Let’s go. Let’s go. What a miss. Golly. When Brooklyn, some of these guys, some of these Brooklyn guys when they miss, they miss bad. Tragic. Y’all altitude lineup. I feel like I know Trey is into like the early 2000s culture and all that and I not Trey. Yeah, Trey. Okay. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Trey man. Terrence man is throwing me. It’s weird. Uh Trey man with the throwback looks and all that. I feel like he’s wearing a headband from that era too. Like something he got at like Dick Sporting Good. That doesn’t look like an NBA issues headband either. Martin with the flo bucket. Bucket bucket. 14-point game. Brooklyn ain’t winning this, but it’s a bit. Sexton with the open lane layup. That’s more like it. There we go. There we go. There we go, baby. Oh, what a pump fake. Yo, man with a triple. Damn. Jam Ston Trey. Come on, man. Need that. Let’s go. Let’s go. Cancel off the other one on the other end. That’s more like it. Colin section is making it happen. He is the bench playmaker we’ve been waiting for, man. Beautiful. Beautiful. Diabate clamping him down. Shame. Shameful. Shameful. I know it’s a good deed, bro. It was uh a little too physical and clowning. First free throw good for clown. Who’s this guy? Who’s number four? Oh, Drake Pal. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Clowny hits both his free throws. Respect. Is it I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Rockets, man. Been waiting for it. Like we’re talking in the like post kamboa lamela ball era, right? Devonte Graham, he he ain’t like this. You know what I mean? Even Terry, he wasn’t he wasn’t like that. He’s a different type of player, right? Melief Monk when I like and I like those guys, but they they’re not doing what Sex was doing. And that’s on the high end. Then you get into the Ishmas of the world twice. Isaiah Thomas, Brad Waker, Fosamich. Who Who else was in there? Who else was in there? I mean, KJ Simpson, put him in there. I don’t mind. He’s a rookie. Oh, he’s a second year guy. I don’t mind KJ. Hey, that’s a travel. Um, and it’s so it’s so key, man, because like we’re not who are we kidding? LaMelo is not going to play 82 games. You know what I mean? He’s just not. And so they’re they’ve never been more well equipped to handle a LaMelo ball absence than right now. Than right now. Moose with the offensive. Oh my god. Moose just tried to end Noah Clowny. What the hell? What the hell, man? What in the hell? If that went in, my god. I like Devonte. He just not that type of player. He’s not that type of player. If they listen, sign sex to an extension, I will buy every version of his jersey. I just I just don’t think he sticks around. So, please go play his way into like a into like he’s gonna be on Indiana or something like that. Like someone who needs a guard, they can come sniffing around Sexton, man. They’re gonna come sniffing around Sexton moves. It’s free throws, dog. All right. All right. All right. We are a minute 15 remaining in the quarter. Y me. Damn. What a three. What’s he saying? What’s he saying? Sexing again, man. What the hell? Come on, man. Gives up a three. Comes down. sinks a layup going to the free throw line. Come on, man. And you know what? No, you know what? He scumbags free throws, too. And that’s another thing we’ve been missing. A guard that can fully scumbag free throws and get to the line. We We haven’t had that. We don’t we don’t have that. That’s a dimension we’ve been we’ve been missing. And it’s nice. It’s nice. It’s nice to have one of them on the squad. It’s nice to have one of them on the squad. Oh, yeah. I just want to check in. Y uh he didn’t start, did he? No. 15 minutes. All right, Saxton. Sexton, give the ball up, dog. To Moose. Moose drives. Euro. More free throws for Diabate. More free throws for Big Moose. Bridge is scared of the ball. Oh, so wait. What’s uh re uh I guess Reed 33? What you need him get to 20? What do you need him to get? I forgot what it was. Bridges. Okay, first one’s good for for Diabate 19. Oh [ __ ] I believe I still believe. I still believe Moose back. It’s a backto back. Oh, excuse me. Excuse me. What am I talking about? Hit both his free throws. Clowny. Goddamn. Big triple from CL. I didn’t know he had I didn’t know he had it like that. I didn’t know he had it like that. Shot clock is off. Colin Ston attack is left in a tray, man. You don’t know even even know where to go with it really. And Saxon does. Sex to Debba. Deion James in the corner for three. No good. Debate can’t bat it in. That was weird. That was weird. Let me rewind that. It’s the end of the quarter. I’m not trying to cook Trey man or anything like that. He got the ball. The He had two. We have one guy on him technically and he was fully backing off. Trey could have easily pulled up for with a for a free throw line jumper. Instead, he dribbles back out to the three-point line and gives it back to Colin Saxon, which is fine. There’s eight seconds left. But Trey, just take the free throw line jumper. Like, take that all day. Take that all day, man. It ends up being a hot potato three-pointer in the corner for James. not what you really want to see to close out a quarter. But that’s that’s me nitpicking because like it doesn’t matter at the end of the day. But it was a bit weird to see Trey so differential at the end of the quarter. Like you had to look it was there. It was there. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. One game I bet on Melo shoots four of 12. What do you what you need what you need Melo to do? What what number you need him to get to? Because if this continues, we may empty may see the bench empty out, which we get some Mason Plumb tonight. Come on. Give the people what they want. It could be our Boba or a taco. 22 points. Yeah. Yeah, he’s be Mel’s played 25 minutes. I feel like he’s going to start the quarter. You never know. But I hope they can empty out the bench for the second half of the fourth quarter, like the final six minutes of the game. That’s what that’s what I’m hoping for. And uh get every get everybody out of here. healthy and happy. That’s what I’m hoping for. But I also want you guys to make money, too. So, I want you guys to win your bets. All right. Who the hell is this guy? Who’s Trior? Nolan Triayor. Who the hell is this guy? RIP. Who’s the first round pick? I I don’t know who this man is. All right. Respect. Respect. Char making his NBA debut to start the fourth quarter as a first round draft pick. The Charlotte Hornets have Miles Bridges, Canipple, Cal Brener, Seion James to Trey Man on the floor to start the fourth. Canipple with the rebound off the miss. Canipple Bridges Bridges to James. Oh, he got blocked by the rim. Oh, he wanted that badly. I wanted that for him, too. Damn. Miles Bridges look like a [ __ ] just now. M is trying to draw charge and Pow right around him. Oh man. You know what? You got it. You got it. Game is a game, man. You You You set your feet. Your feet are set. There’s nothing you can do about it. But like when the guy just perfectly goes around you, that’s tough. That’s tough. That’s tough. Warner’s looking good. Willie Warner is looking really good. Forget your mouse. Try to beat Cody Mar drawing the charge. Oh, Trey. I’m I’m a little worried about Trey May. All right. It’s way too early to be worried about anybody, but I got one toe into the Trey Man watch. It’s po I don’t know. I don’t know. I haven’t seen him in forever. Play 20 minutes. What am I talking about? I’m lost. He’s right there. I’m I’m tripping. He’s starting I’m looking at him right now. The 17 on him is throwing me. Is throwing me. Porter’s out there right now. Porter’s out there right now. He looks so weird in a Nets jersey anyway. Oh, T. Oh man, Trey almost caught one. Almost caught it. Claxton lack it and then Claxton travels. Good D. Good D. Good D. Good D. Good D. Good to go. Yeah, Claxton wasn’t was not locked in. He was not locked in. Trey almost caught one. Trey almost caught one. All right, Trey, speaking of bringing the ball up, Trey. Trey with the lay. And that’s more like it. That’s more like it. That’s the Trey we want to see. That’s smooth as [ __ ] Layup. Come on. Come on, man. Trior for three. Damn. That was a clean jumper. Clean jumper for the young man from France. Like that. Trey bounce past the crock better. Trey is This is it. That’s two him try him almost stripping Claxton that clean drive and finish in the with the layup and that great pass to [ __ ] Benner in the lane for the easy bucket easy assist. All right, Trey stacking wins right now and he draws a charge from the kid. Trayor gets a little handsy on Trey man. Gota hold that young man. Hold it. Brener surprised me. I thought it was too slow. Glad I was wrong. Yeah, man. Like he’s a player. He’s a player. We uh What’s the schedule look like, by the way? Who’s next? So, you know, when Charlotte plays better bigs, we’ll see. We’ll see. But so far so good with Cogbra. I’m here for it. I’m here for it. Trey Miles. Miles. What are you going to do? He does nothing. Brooklyn ball. All right, fellas. Let’s finish strong, dog. Cam Thomas from three in the corner. No good. [ __ ] Benner with the board. Seven rebounds for Block Brener. LaMelo about to check in. Brandon Miller about to check in. Yeah. So, like it’s some sloppy stuff. So, like Yeah. A lot of good tonight. A lot of sloppy [ __ ] happening. Some rookie mistakes, which is fine. First game of the year stuff. The You’re gonna have it. You’re gonna have it. And it’s not game ending or game-breaking stuff. But it is worth noting that the this team has looked gassed and tired, gassed and mistake prone. But they’ve been quick to to rectify it. You know what I mean? like to not let the mistakes compound out because like even early on they were trading leads really really like hovering on a five point a fivepoint lead for a long time and then pulled away and stayed ahead. That’s what you want. This is what they should be doing. Good showing. So, uh Eric LaMelo is about to looks like he’s about to check in. and they called a timeout so he can come back come into the game. Same with Brandon Miller. So I’ll I’ll let you know for sure or he can take a look behind me. That’s crazy. But uh yeah, it looks like LaMel’s going to come in. The Pistons aren’t going to extend Darren. Send him to Charlotte, please. Send it. Call it into the league. What a what a loss, man. Got like got nothing but I mean we’ll see if McNeely if McNeely pans out right then you’re looking at okay the Mark Williams thing eventually eventually played out well. and the other pick too they got. But that’s a weird pick in it. Or they just could have had Duran this whole time which would have been really nice. Would would have been really nice. But what what you gonna do man Bren looking better than I thought. Yeah. I think it says a lot. I think it says a lot. We haven’t seen Mason Plumbley at all tonight. Well, not at all. He’s we we’ve seen him on the bench all night. Like, not even not even hint. And the Hornets should not be having a threeman center rotation anyway. But especially against the Nets, it’s got that be crazy. But Kyle Brander getting the start, finishing the half, playing crunch time. Tate operating as that Platoon center. High effort, high intensity. Love it. Love it. All right. Melo Cal Benner Miller for three. Oh, he’s fouled. He’s shooting three free throws though. Sharp fouls. The jump shooter. Three free throws coming in for Brandon Miller. Let’s go, baby. Are the Nets looking good? Nah. Nah. Oh, Miller missed a free throw. Nah. Uh, Yman looks good. And Saraf looks really good. Well, I don’t say really good, looks looks good, too. Um, Michael Porter Jr. looks looks miserable out there to be honest with you. Claxton, it’s like whatever. I don’t know, man. That’s a lot of like whatever to be honest with you. Sharp. Sharp keeps [ __ ] up screens. Like it’s it’s not it’s not good, man. It’s not good. Cam Thomas on the ball. O, he draws a foul. Bum’s best positions on the bench. He’s got to go to I don’t listen. Hey, he is if if if Mason Plumbley is your third center in 2025 going into 2026, that is a very okay place to be. That’s a very okay place to be. I was worried, legitimately concerned when they traded for him and drafted Cal Brener that we would start the year with Mason Plumbley as a starting five Diabate at the two at the you know the second second string center and then Coug Benner bouncing back and forth between Greensboro and Charlotte. I am so happy that he got the start tonight, that he’s played well, and we haven’t seen Plumbley play today. Oh, Kipple tried to He’s trying to do a little too much right there. Trying to do too much right there. Michael MP Michael Porter Jr. with the brick. All right, Miller. What the hell? All right, more sloppy [ __ ] man. Thomas with the layin. Another short short maybe. I think Thomas expected contact didn’t get it. So like that that layup just went nowhere. Tough. Uh MPJ at 19 points. Brandon with the bucket. Oh, he’s at 12. That’s gonna be tough. I don’t I I don’t think that’s going to hit. Need ball to score six points. LaMelo could I think Melo has a better shot at that. Porter Jr. with the layin. No good. That’s back toback misses for Michael Porter Jr. Salon running the floor with the layin. Love it. Love that for him. Love that. Love that. Those are the best buckets from him. Off the catch or driving to the bucket in transition. All day, every day with that, Tan. All day, every day with that. Yeah, I’m watching on FanDuel. Yeah, LaMelo with the bucket. Count it. Four more points for Melo, Dwayne. Four more. Four more. Four more. Oh, yeah. I’m do I’m doing my VPN uh league pass method to watch like I think I’m in like Chicago right now technically with my VPN so I can watch this [ __ ] It’s allowed for three. That’s what I’m talking about. off the catch or in transition to Jean Salon playing within himself. Let’s go, young man. Let’s go, young man. Wide open look off the catch, letting it fly. No hesitation. Love the Love that for him. Love that. So, I’m tired of Thomas’s hunting for fouls. Yeah, Willie, you’re not wrong. You’re not wrong. That part of the game sucks. It really sucks. But we got what we got Khan Saxon and he’s good at that too. So we got we got we got him with the Uno reverse card. They can hold that. Hornets on fire. Yes. Cerski. Yes. Go. Playing young boy in this way. Yo, put me in, man. Let the other rookie play. I entered the poll. Thank you. Thank you to everybody who voted. 251 votes on who’s going to win this game. 80% said the Hornets, 20% Brooklyn. Before as we’re winding down here, if you don’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you hit the like button on the stream and hit the subscribe button, too, if you don’t mind. And if you if you want to get real real involved, let me know your player of the game. Let me know your player of the game. Give us Liam, man. All the rookies have like the rookie debut patch on on their jerseys, which is really cool. But like be a shame if like McNeel’s rookie debut patch doesn’t get used. That’d be a bummer because it’s they’re put it in cards. So like if you pack like a oneonone McNeely and says game used but he didn’t play it’s a bit bit whack where I think a calc has blood on it like that’s fire. If you get a card with Ryan block Brener blood on it that’d be fire. I’m So I’m gonna be streaming up until Minnesota. So I’ll be back Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. That is the plan. Things may change, but that is the plan. I’m going to I’m going to this game. Can’t highlight it. I’m going to the Minnesota Timberwolves game on the on the first. So if anyone’s going, let me know. Hit me up on Twitter. Hit me up. Shoot me an email. sam dracula bizgmail.com in the description. I’ll buy you a beer. Me with the rebound. [ __ ] Brener running the floor. Salon still out there. Lamel still out there. Brandon Miller still out there. Melo, break him down. Break him down. Oh, bad pass. Turn over. Get this. Yeah, man. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I think also is the Lakers here. I’ll be going to this Lakers game. I need LeBron’s back to get fixed for that. I need LeBron needs to get a backyota for that one. Hopefully, he’ll hope. Not looking like not looking good. Uh I have low expectations LeBron will play in that one. I’ve never seen LeBron play in person. So that is that was the hope to to catch him what could be his last season. Oh my god, that’s backto back bad passes for LaMelo this this fourth quarter. All right, Salon with the rebound. Is what the hell’s going on with him? Is he trying to get to a certain number? Oh, is he trying to get to 10 assists? Is that what’s happening? I I ain’t mad at it. I’m not mad at it. If you’re trying to get your numbers up, get your numbers up. That’s That’s two bad passes for Lamela in a row. Miller tries to force it. Is he trying to get to a No, he’s already got 25 to get He’s trying to get to 30. He’s trying to force it to 30. Drake Pal with the travel. Yeah, Houston. OKC. Yeah, I’m not going to lie. I went to bed early on that one. I can’t lie. Uh, I saw the highlights though and uh I didn’t bet on that one. I’m glad I didn’t because I would have lost Salon for three off the catch. No good. Canible can’t get the rebound. I need you I need Melo to stay under five rebounds. Where’s he at right now? He’s at two. Oh, you you’re straight. You’re straight. JVO, you’re straight. Melo to Caniple. That’s a foul, bro. Sex is such a upgrade at backup point guard that we Oh my god. Mild like light years light years ahead of what we’ve had to watch the last five years. like not even not even close to anybody we’ve had before. Like he’s so much better than everybody we’ve ever had combined at that spot. And I’m I’m not even trying to be hyperbolic with it. Like Miller for three, no good. RIP. Yeah, man. LaMelo Melo and Miller trying to get to to 10 and 30 points respectively. Now bridges. Babe, Miles Bridges checking back in. Where’s he trying to get to? He’s at 15 10 boards. Got a double double train, man. Oh, man. He got robbed. Block. Brener got robbed, dog. It’s not worth reviewing. Like, let’s get us. Okay, they are reviewing it. Please do it quickly though. Uh Ston for sixman. My only thing my only concern is I think he’s more than capable of being in the six-man race. I’m going say that right now. I think he’s an awesome player and could be a crucial piece to any success the Hornets have this year. I just not I’m just not convinced he’s on the team past the deadline. That’s my only thing. That’s my only thing. Need two more points from Terrence. Well, so this is huge then, dog. Cuz like that’s a block. That’s a clean block cuz like if this if this is over if this is upheld, Terance will have two free throws. But it looks like a clean block. This should get overturned. K Brener has how many blocks does he have right now? Two. Block Brener should have three. Oh, that sec that angle made it made it that one’s kind of questionable. That one’s kind of questionable. Need LaMelo for 20. I think LML’s trying to get the 10 assists. I think I think it’s over. I mean, does he need to be on the team to win? I just My only thing is like if he goes to a is how he’d be used on a different team. That’s my only concern. Like if anyone trades for him, is he how he’ll be used like that that that factor? That’s what I’m thinking. unsuccessful challenge. They say he got the ball, but then he then he hit the wrist. So, who who who needed who uh who needed Terence Man to get to get two? Who was that? Who was that? Oh, saw AMH. I just saw he see I can see brownie. Come on. I just saw that. Yeah, I can’t find it. Grandpa Bridge has been on this team forever. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, he’s going to shoot two free throws right now. Eddie, the Nets one. First free throw. He made it. He made it. Oh, yeah. That’s crazy cuz that went to a challenge. All right. First free throw is good. One more to go. And it’s good. You hit them both, Eddie. That’s two more points for for Terrence Man. Double double for Cal in his first game. Yes, sir. Cooper scoring over 15. Oh, I don’t know. Trey. Trey. Trey. Bounce pass to Bridges. Bridges for three. No good. Brandon can’t get the rebound. Yeah, he can’t get the rebound. Yman with the board. Terrence man. He’s going to shoot that thing in he. Yep. There you go. Oh, there you go. Three more points for Terrence man. Eddie, your Yeah, your bet is is you’ve gone clear with that one. Comfortably covering that bet comfortably. Melo, congratulations. Melo with the layin right past Terence Man though. He could hold that next time out. What? Terrence man just picked up a foul out of nowhere. All right. picked up a technical out of nowhere, man. Miles needs a score. Yeah. So, he just missed a three just now. Miles Bridges. He just missed the three just now. And LaMelo’s shooting the the technical free throw right now. So, anyone if anyone has like a LaMelo point prop, lock in. He’s on 17 right now. Oh, he rimmed it out. He just missed the free throw. He just missed the free throw. Melo two of five from the free throw line. That’s That’s That’s not good, man. It’s not good. No bueno. No bueno. You need 20 for Melo. So what he’s at 17. He’s at 17. If he hit, he’d have exactly 20 if he hit his free throws. Block Brener checking out for the night. Diabate coming in. Who’s that? Oh, no good. No good. Moose with the rebound. Am I live right now? Yeah. That’s it. Diabate. Brandon. Oh, shoot that thing. Bren LaMelo for three. Oh, there you go. Who needed Who needed that? LaMelo with 20 points. Who needed that? Who needed that? That was That was clutch as hell. That was clutch as hell. Debbonte in transition. LaMel’s trying to get two assists. He wants that. He wants that double double. He wants that double double [ __ ] brand monster game. Yes, sir. This season LaMelo isn’t holding his wrist anymore or adjusting his shoulder. Great.

The Mel’s about to take his jersey off. The game is still going on. Let’s go, baby. Let’s go. Let’s go. On pace to win 82 games this season. Love that. Love that. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. dominating dominating win high effort some sloppy [ __ ] tonight but it’s I’ll all allow it because it is opening night you’ll have it three rookies three of the four rookies touch the floor tonight Brener blocker played very well Kipple played okay James in his role played Let’s go, baby. Let’s go, baby. Bridges 18-1 tonight. Brandon Miller, 25 points, seven assists, zero rebounds. That’s funny. Uh, Block Brener, 10 points, 11 11 rebounds. Just a casual double double on his on his debut. Just a casual double double. Two blocks mixed into that. Come on. LaMelo 20 points, eight assists. He tried his best, man. LaMelo tried his hardest to get that that 10th assist to to the detriment of some turnovers, but what are you gonna do, man? What you gonna do? Got to hit your free throws, Melo. Gotta hit your free throws. Uh Canipple 11 points, five boards, one assists. Play some really nice heads up basketball. Some rookie mistakes. You’ll have that. You’ll have that. I think this team is healthy. If healthy is definitely a bottom tier playoff team. They can be for sure. Nights like tonight. Anything’s possible, man. Uh I like I love what I saw tonight. Um Colin Saxon is like a major lifeline, a major injection of talent um to the second unit and a serious baller, man. A serious baller. Absolute baller. Bring back the Horn original Hornets logo. I agree with you. I I agree. I agree. Original Hugo. Uh no Mason Plumbing tonight. No Coneton. No Liam McNeely. Shame. Shameful. Uh Seion James within his role. Active. Active as hell. Uh Trey man looked very tentative but then ended strong. So I’ll take that. I’ll take that. And Salon played within himself. running the floor like a madman, being where he needed to be defensively and hitting open shots when he could. Right. Love it.
