[Music] Down hey down. Yeah, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. Heat. [Music] Hey, Heat. [Music] What’s up y’all? Welcome back to the Sam Dracula channel. It is what day is it? Tuesday, October 28th. We are six minutes from tip off Hornets at Heat. Apologies, I wasn’t streaming for the Wizards game. I was not feeling well and could I was like, uh, I don’t know. I was not feeling well. So, we’re back. We’re feeling good. Incredible game. I wish I wasn’t feeling bad because that would have been fun to watch live on stream with everybody. But what are you gonna do? What are you going to do? What a game. What a player LaMelo Ball is. What a baller. What a baller. And I miss McNeel’s debut, too. It was brutal. Sad. Makes me feel bad. But who knows? Maybe I’ll get into run tonight. By the way, uh, Brandon Miller, I’m concerned. I’m concerned. No, I am concerned. I am concerned. Also, thank you for mentioning that about Pal because I put him on the thumbnail because he played well the other night and now I got to replace him real quick. So, I’m going to do that. I’ll do that right now. The Hornet starters, LaMelo, Colin Saxon, Conano, Mouse Bridges, and Block Benner. Come on. Come on. I’m excited for this one. The Heat, it feels appropriate because of the gambling situation, but the Heat are favored. But I kind of I like I like our chances, man. I like I like Charlotte’s chances tonight. the way this team’s been playing, they can go to to they can go toe-to-toe with anybody, with anybody, man. Um, big improvement over last year. Big big big improvement over last season. Hey, what’s up? What’s up? What’s up? Excuse me while I uh remove Norman Pow from this thumbnail. Uh, what we multitasking? We multitasking over here. Matter of fact, let me do that right here. They’re interviewing Miles Bridges pregame. So, we got some time. We got some time. We got some time here. But how’s everyone’s uh how’s everyone feeling, man, about this Hornet season so far? Two and one. could have could have should have been should have should be three and 0 if we’re super honest with ourselves, but it it is what it is. The game’s a game, but largely positive outside of the outside of LaMelo B or sorry, what am I talking about? outside of Brandon Miller being hurt and the uncertainty around that. Um, and Trey man kind of stinking up the place. A+ all around. A+ all around. A+ all around. There we go. Okay, cool. Let’s save this thing and get this thing replaced. Slap bam up there. Hornets to heat live stream. Replace that then. Sorry y’all. We’re doing this in real time. Hope I love me some Seion James, man. I love me some Seion James. What an addition. The second round is both of them, man. Cal Brener, Seion, and I think Seion’s like keeping McNeely out the lineup, too. There we go. That dude is tough as hell. That dude is tough as hell. You look like you gonna be like a a two sport athlete, man. I swear he could play for the Panthers right now. That dude is That is a big guy. Yeah. Kind of like the Spurs used to do. It’s like what it’s too early to like really call it a pattern, right? But with Charles Lee, we’re seeing how he likes to approach the second round. Like KJ Simpson, I think KJ was a two-year guy at least. Spent two years at Colorado. Um and then this past season he took or past draft he took two guys that are like fifth year seniors um in the second round which those guys you know they should be more NBA ready definitely more mature physically and ready for the NBA and less risky less of a project than what Cupch did with like the James Najis of the world your JT Thors of the world he had some hits, right? Jaylen McDaniels was a hit. Devonte Graham right out the second round. Um Cody Martin as well, but Jeff Peterson seems to like the the older older guys in the second round, which makes sense. Musa Date to a certain degree. All right. Uh, boom. All right. There starting five. Looking back, I hit a cup. Um, hey, perfectly valid. Perfectly valid. He had some misses, but he also had some hits to be fair to him. To be fair to him. And if anything, considering how they did the signing trade with Kemba for Terry Roier, right? And it sucks, but Kima’s career fell apart, right? So, they didn’t get they got something in return for a guy who was near retire. And we didn’t know for we didn’t know then what we know now but seeing how that played out right and then now they trade Roier he traded Roier to Miami for a first round pick and now he got got with gambling Hornets bus case right they turned Kemba into a first round pick next year or the year after. Not bad. Not bad. Not too shabby. Why is this Why this volume so low? Hang on. There we go. He connected second round picks like Poké Balls. Come on. He did okay, man. He did okay. Yeah, I didn’t realize C James shot 41% from deep in college. Explains why it’s so silky. Clo with the alley you rip. Oh, rip. All right. Also, I I haven’t addressed this, but there’s going to be a delay between what what you see behind me and what appears on in the box score just because of how that goes. [ __ ] Brener with the with the bucket. Getting him involved center for center action there. They traded. I like Damen Mitchell. Bam to Wiggins. Wiggins for three. Back room miss. Sexton with the rebound. Come on. Dlo thinks about pulling up for three. No good. Or doesn’t doesn’t let it fly. Ston mid-range jumper. No good. Mitchell with the rebound and Mitchell. All right, man. Bam verse block Brener. Hey, good good disruption. Good disruption from K Brener right there. It’s gonna be It’s a tough matchup for him. LaMelo first three is good, good, good, good. Which Wait, is this here? Is it still here? How insane. I know it’s I know ESPN doesn’t give a [ __ ] about the Hornets, but like where’s it at? Where miss with the miss? Look at this. Charlotte Hornets. No injured players. What is that? It’s been a section with the miss. I swear since I’ve been doing these live streams, ESPN has been under reporting on the Hornets in the era of sports gambling. That is crazy. That is crazy. Especially because they run their own sports book. That’s nuts. All right, Melo. Melo to Bridges. Bridges for three off the catch. Don’t like that. was the born born born a prodigy to get Charlotte to the to the promised land. Your mouth to God’s ears, man. Your mouth to God’s ears. If the if this team had if this team has presently constructed has any chance to reach the promised land. Lamela long three. Bang. Backto-back triples for Mela. Um if this team has any chance of reaching the promised land, it’s on the backs back of LaMelo ball for sure. Ah, he picked up a silly foul on the other end. It’s vapor. All right. Also, it’s a shame. It’s a shame. Melo has to watch those fouls still. All right. Wiggins hits the first free throw. His first free throw. His first free throw tonight. Yeah, of course. Of course. All right. Second attempt for Wiggins. Boom. Boom. Back to back free throws for Wiggins. All right. Ston bringing it up. He gets a screen from Cog Burner. Sex to the rim off the glass. Clean. Clean bucket. Clean bucket. All right, Mitchell. Be careful, Melo. Be careful. All right. Melo’s smart to avoid a second foul there. Mitchell going after him a little bit right there. Ston dishing out to Canipple in the corner for three. Yes, sir. Ski, come on, man. What’s up, Christian? It’s going well. It’s going well. Hope all is well with you and everybody out there. Happy having a good Tuesday. It is Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah. A good Tuesday evening. And And the stream goes down. Hang on. Did B make that? Got to refresh my browser now. Yeah, Khan is running it, man. Conor is doing the damn thing. Khan’s doing the damn thing. Yeah, playoff game. Love a playoff game. The city deserves playoff games, man. I got a friend at the a couple friends, few friends at um at at the bank watching that. Actually, I should get that up on my phone. Might have to multitask it. Canipple. Oh, his jumper got blocked by Wiggins. I’m pull that up. So with Miller, it’s so it’s weird, man. It it kind of look like it’d be a few weeks, but the second opinion that he’s looking for is concerning. Makes me think when I hear second opinion, I think wears wide open for three. All right. Larson with the putback. Um, yeah, I was bailed out off the miss. Um, but yeah, with Brandon Miller was super concerned about that second opinion report because it makes me makes me think there is surgery on the table. Um, and that scary man. Scary thought. We missed you missed an entire sophomore season basically. Mitchell where? No good. Um, it’d be a damn shame if he missed an extended period of time in his third year in the league. Okay. Miller spin move with the L. Good finish. Good play. Good finish. But yeah, I’m worried, man. I’m worried. And I hope I really don’t want that to be a thing, too. Right wrist injury last year, left shoulder injury this year. Larson with the quick trigger over Cal Brandon. That’s That’s respectable. That’s respectable. Melo. Oh, Melo trying to draw a foul. Doesn’t get the call, but makes the bucket. Makes the bucket. Come on, man. Who didn’t Who didn’t run back? Who didn’t run back? Who was that? LaMelo wasn’t there. Khan was slow to get there. Yeah. What? What the? Hold on. So, LaMelo makes the bucket. Okay. They inbound it. Mitchell fires it up. Fires it. All right. I can’t find the pause button. Okay. So, it’s only Bridges back there on defense. is Larson and Bam. This is basically a twoon-one. Mitchell playing heads up sees the mismatch. Cog Brener slow to get back and Nipple slow to get back. Ston and LaMelo are still at half court while Larson is about to drive into lane. Larson has a foot in the plane and it’s just him, Edio, Bridges, and Cog Burner. Bam. completely unguarded, the easiest points. And then Bridges, to his credit, yelling, let letting his teammates know, “What the hell, man? You got to get back. You got to get back.” Good play by Mitchell, abusing the slow transition defense. Great play by Mitchell right there. And and Larson and bam to connect on the aloop. Respect. Respect. I respect it. It’s a damn shame it had to happen like that, but I respect it. I respect it. Yeah, the defense, man. Can’t be giving up easy points like that cuz it it’s not it’s not realistic to expect this team to play lock down defense for four quarters. But what I would love for them to do is to cut out the little ones, like the little mistakes, lock in on after timeout plays, lock in at the end of the quarters, and run the floor on defense, man. Just show the effort. Show the effort. Something that I don’t think that’s too much to ask. You know what I’m saying? I think it’s pretty realistic to ask for and they’re good enough to do it. There’s got to want to do it. And they didn’t want to do it right there, but we’ve seen them do it in the past. But two-point game. Two-point game. Not too shabby. Not too shabby. The Heat are good. It’s a weird team, but they’re good. They’re not like the Wizards. They’re not like the Nets. You got to lock in or else there’ll be another Philly situation. Got to lock in, boys. Got lock in. They got a system and a good coach for sure. Oh, for sure. Okay. Trey man in the game for Ston. Looks like everything else is the same. So Trey, Melo, Bridges, Calgner, Canipple. Oh my god. Ah, Canipple couldn’t execute that alleyoop off the LaMelo gave Jame Hake Mitchell thinks about the three. He drives blocked by a clock burner. Come on. Clock burner. Clock Bunner is his name. And then Miles with the Euro. No good. But he has two free throws to show for it. Yes. Spolstra is arguably the best the best coach in in the league and it shows year after year after year. It shows. And they’re playing like crazy offense right now, which is kind of unlike them. All right, Bridges hits his first free throw. Seion James Musa Dioate checking in to the game. Does [ __ ] burner out? I assume that’s Canipple. Yeah, Keniple’s out. Did the Heat cut Terry out? He’s just He’s just suspended, right? He’s just suspended, right? It’s weird, too, because like the NBA cleared him and the FBI was like, “No, no, no, no, no. Not so fast, my friend.” All right. Yes. Terry still catching check. What? What? It so crazy to get the FBI pulling in him and Chanty Bubs on the same day basically. It’s crazy, man. Wiggins mid-range jumper. No good. Trey man with the rebound. Need Trey to step it up, dog. Need him to step it up. Bridges off the dribble. Gh. All right. Where with the rebound? Wiggins. Where? Dio with a big block. Come on, dog. LaMelo is not interested in picking up that second foul. He just that when Larson was driving, he just put his hands up. Bridges in the corner for three. Short. That’s back toback misses for Miles. Like you got to relax, dog. Hakez spin move versus LaMelo. Melo with the steal. Good team defense. I don’t know who tipped it, but LaMelo collected it. And there had three Hornets on him. Bridges third time down. Third time’s the charm. Melo or Melo. Bridges finally gets his bucket. Oh, wait. Did Trey man steal the inbound? Oh my god. Trey, what the hell? Trey stole the inbound pass and then stepped out of play. Trey keep playing. Yeah, Trey keep playing bad. Pat Kong coming. Trey man has not been him. He’s not been good, man. It’s a bummer, but it’s early. It’s early. Wiggins Hawkins for three. Bang. Big triple. Botching. Thoughts on Trey Man botching the game versus Oh my god. In what world? When he he was shooting like ass the whole night and then with 12 seconds left, he puts up a three. I I guess he was trying to draw a charge like or not try draw a foul on the jumper. I get it. But in no world is that a good shot. In no world is the timing appropriate. And in no world should he be taking the shot. Right? If you want to say keep him out there, there’s I don’t think he should have been out there, but you can make an argument that he should be because of his experience. But nah, not good. Not good. First like real misstep from Charles Lee for sure in my opinion in um of this very very very early season. Try not getting enough touching and rhythm. Well, you got I mean, he’s a he’s a role player, man. You got to find you got to find your your way. In no world should we be be running things through him like you just got Oh my god. LaMelo. No call for LaMelo again as he falls out of bounds. Heat ball. Yeah, Saxon. Especially the way Sexton been playing. I don’t I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I’d have to look at it. Like I don’t know if Son played extended minutes leading up to that or not, but like you got to get your best players out on the floor and like when you’re when the shot clock is off, your best player should be playing, right? And in no world is Trey better than than Sexton by any metric. So I I just don’t get it. But it’s nice to see that coach Lee has that faith in Trey because Trey’s capable more than capable of doing something special while he’s out there. It just not it’s not happening yet. All right, Trey versus Hawz out to LaMelo. Set a screen. LaMelo versus Hawz. LaMelo step back three. Bang. Is that a third one? Yeah, LaMelo’s three for three from three. Easy 11 points for LaMelo ball in the first quarter and we got three minutes left to go still. Yoic to Hakez. Clean. Damn. Back to back. That’s his You went back to back from three. Dolly. All right, Trey. Man, come on, dog. LaMelo’s about to fire it up again. Oh, there he goes. Four for four, four-point play. The Melo four for four and the four-point play. What in the hell? Fouled on the jumper. Three is good. And one got popped in the face by Hakez. Disgusting behavior, man. Disgusting behavior. We up two. is is Come on, man. Let’s go, dog. He’s on a incredible run right now, LaMeloise. And I I don’t see it’s not a fluke. Like, he’s This is him playing to the peak of his abilities. Like, this is dope. This is dope. I feel I feel like we’re finally getting like a fully realized LaMelo and the way he’s like hustling out there. We’re saying like I always I know he gets hurt a lot but always viewed LaMelo as like a super tough individual especially after his rookie year when he got hurt with the wrist injury. He clear when he came back he clearly wasn’t 100%. like he wasn’t the same shooter at all, but we needed him. Needed him for the final to the final stretch. Needed him for the playing. Even though none of that went well, he’s clearly toughed it out. You always play with the older kids, Melo Cooking. And that that shit’s important, man. When when your best player is one of your hardest workers, it it it forces everybody up. It force every forces everybody to let to raise their game up. It’s a good place to be. It’s a good place to be right now. Melo is cooking. Mellow cooking. And because we’re playing the Heat, the more he cooks, the better my parlay goes. So I like it. I like it. by the way. So, by the way, why is that the first thing? ES I promise you ESPN doesn’t give a [ __ ] about the Charlotte Hornets. Why is that the top thing? You got Ornis Miller sideline with shoulder dislocation, right? And then you got United Center mozzarella pucks lead NHL NBA arena food. Was we on here? What we got? Got Bojangles in this thing. Carol. Okay. Carolina quesadilla. All right. That’s valid. Oh, I can’t look at that. It’s making me hungry. That’s valid. Okay, Orlando Thursday. Yeah, cool. Orlando kind of getting off to a rough start, too. Bro, what is with the my live pass or my lead pass? Okay, we’re back. Hornets up three. Yo, never mind. Yo, has the fadeaway jumper. Okay, LaMelo’s still out there. He’s played every second of the first quarter. Trey man pulls up for three. Terrible. To John Salon with the hard ass rebound, offensive rebound. Fighting it. Fighting for it. Salon to man. Man, dribble. Dribble pass. That was weird. That was a weird choice. So Salon hands off to me for Damn, brother. That was horrible. That was horrible. Trey didn’t know what he wanted to do with it. Hot potatoes it to Son. Salon hot potatoes it to uh LaMelo who heaves it up, misses the rim. Shot clock vio. Brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal. They do, man. They do. Delo taking a seat. Little rest in the first quarter here. Bam with the bucket. They Oh, the Heat just took the lead. They up one now. We’re under two minutes. Colin Saxon on the ball. Saxon the salon. He stepped out of bounds. Come on, man. That’s the second time. The second time. Offense is stagnant right now. Have to run sets. Yeah, it’s it’s going to take a dip with a melo out now for sure. Need sex to step up. Need Trey man to step the [ __ ] up, man. The back court right now. [ __ ] Trey, Trey, what are you doing? Trey, you can miss shots. Like, I get it. You’re gonna miss shots, but you cannot foul three-point shooters. What the hell, dog? He fouls. Fontacio. Trey. Trey, you got to do better, dog. You can’t give up a four-point play. You can’t give up a four-point play. Anyway, we’re move. We moving. Sexton down in the other rim with the layup. That’s more like it. That’s some grown man [ __ ] Your jumper’s not there. Offense ain’t going. Just get to the rim. Get into the lane. Make it happen. Get to the lane. Get to it happen. Six points for Saxton offo for three again. No good. Trey did not foul him this time. That’s a dub. Salon with another tough rebound. He’s getting rebounds like with one arm like just cupping it like this. Respect. Respect. Trey, give it up, dog. Trey to Sexton. Sexton to Salon. Salon takes a dribble, gets a shot up. No good. Rip, rip, rip, rip. Hawk with the rebound. Yo, transition three. No good. Okay. All right. Seion James, slow it down. We got time. Got time. Got plenty of time. Trey man. Trey man. Just take your time with it. Got 10 seconds on the shot clock. Take your time. Diabate is about to tackle Hz. What the hell? Dearbate and HZ is fully got tangled up at the top of the key. No call. Shocker. All right. 10 on the shot clock. off the reset. Ston fouled. Oh, who was that? Did Smith get popped in the face? That’s weird cuz Eric Khan just said that. Eric just said popped in the face. All right. Sex is gonna shoot some free throws. My man. My guy. Your first one for sex. Good. Like that for you. Like that for me. All right, Bridges checking in. Trey man taking a seat.

Is it Jaylen Wells? The Memphis guy. the Memphis kid who when KJ Simpson undercut him. What in the hell was that? Where’d that come from? He just elevated. It kept going with the two-hand finish over Diabate. Gez. Geez, bro. Oh, Diabate intercepts the pass. Just knocks it loose. Yeah, Diabate got bodied. Hake got up immediately. Respect. So, that was scary. That was That was scary. Oh, does get a cheap block right there. Hang on. Hang on. Does that count? If you block a heave, does that count as a as a block block? I know heaves don’t count against your percentage, but if you block a heave, does that does that count? All right, we’re looking at these. We’re looking at this food again. We’re between quarters. Crispy mozzarella pucks are available at Chicago dish stands only during Blackhawks games. That’s a pass for me. This is like This looks like a mess. It’s so boring. This is very Utah with respect. This This looks very boring to be on this list, but it’s very on brand. That’s like That looks fire. That looks fire. Okay. Okay, that’s cool. Do me some bow bites. Respect. Respect.

And if so, let me know. That’s really cool. If there was a thing to flick it, if there was like a a mechanism that pops out of the the packaging where you could just like shoot it, like pull it back and like a lever or a catapult. You catapult these things into the hoop. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. All right, second half time for second half rip. Second quarter time. Hornets down currently, but right in this thing. Right in this thing. Right in this thing. the SP. Yeah, they’re they’re they’re showing a highlight reel of some of the defensive stops. Like it’s been there. The defense has been there. This is not there the whole time. It’s not there the whole time. Just been there. It’s been there just not long enough or often enough. But oh, McNeely in the house. Come on. McNeely Canipple Bridges. Uh, what? Bridges. What are you gonna do? Miles, turn around. Jumper clean.

We got three rookies out here with Bridges and Sex. Probably the most Yeah, these are the most like tenured guy, not not including Mason Plumbley and Conetan who don’t really play of the guys that that currently contribute to this basketball team. Oh, you got three rookies with the two most veteran guys, Bridges and Sexton. I like it. I like it. It’s a good balance. Oh, Yoic with the rebound. Yo, Hawkins needs to relax, man.

Just like that. Trey man on the assist. Trey man with the three. Trey man with the three. Trey man with the assist to the three from James. Come on. Love that. Love that. And I love like James has such like a textbook jumper too. Like it’s it’s optimal efficiency. There’s no there’s no like there’s nothing. It’s like if you’re creating a video game character like on 2K. This is a default standard jumper. Just perfect. Like zero seasoning on it. Just standard jumper. Not a complaint. Just an observation. Definitely not a complaint. It’s working. It’s working. Tie game. And I think next opportunity Diabate is going to come back in who hasn’t really gotten involved. Kind of shocking he doesn’t have any rebounds yet to be fair, but what are you going to do? What are you going to do? My target’s bias won’t let me compliment them too much. That’s fair. I understand. I understand. I understand. I not to bring up a sore subject, but we’re in a timeout here. How do you feel about the football team at Bellich? You don’t even have to get you don’t have to like really get into it if you don’t want to, but like just give me a letter grade for for Bellich and UNCC and his girlfriend and u all them all them boys. D+ that’s fair. That’s fair. That’s That’s super valid. That’s fair. That’s super valid. That first drive versus TCU, I was like, damn, this [ __ ] made me and it’s it’s insane how quickly things can change. Like how quickly things can change. That first drive against TCU was like 10 out of 10 perfect, right? And it’s just so different from that point on. It’s crazy. We expected way better. As you should, man. I think I expected way better. At least a level of like just competency. Some of the stories that coming out is just just brutal, man. Brutal. They got the belt. Yep. All right, we’re back. 57 all. Wiggins. Wiggins for three. Yeah. Wiggins for three. Clean. All right. Andrew Andrew Wiggins breaks the deadlock with the triple. Trey James. LaMelo. LaMelo calling for a screen.

CL need an easy bucket. Just an easy bucket. An easy bucket. High at least a high percentage bucket. James in the corner. That’ll do it. Seion James breaking the bad luck streak. Big triple from the rookie with the master’s degree. Wiggins mid-range jumper. No good. LaMelo with the board. All right, boys. Five-point game. LaMelo the space. There’s space to let it go. He doesn’t take it though. Oh, LaMelo throws the ball away. Diabate spin move. Rip. He got caught with the travel. Moa with the travel pain. Pain. I mean, having to deal with Bam on the block long night. Okay, Salon out. Bridges in 240 left in the quarter slash half. Bam. Bam. What are you going to do? Why Larson cooking us too? Cooked by Larson, man. James dump off to Diabate. He’s trapped on the line. James, what you going to do? Set a screen. Create space for LaMelo. LaMelo gets opportunity with the floater. Floater doesn’t go. And he fouls again. That’s Is that two or three? Okay, that’s LaMelo’s second foul. Okay. What’s up, Breeze? Welcome, welcome, welcome. Yeah, man. Uh, we’ve done all the games except the last one. And the plan is to do all of them from not the plan is to stream Thursday and then not Saturday. I’ll be I’ll be at the game and I’ll probably stream the Sunday six o’clock one against the Jazz. But yeah, we’ll be we’re here. We’re here tonight and we’re here Thursday for sure. here tonight and here Thursday for sure. And then I’m going to the arena to watch the Timberwolves, Julius Randall and them. Can’t wait. It’s I’m so pissed that Anthony Edwards is hurt. I was looking forward to watching him in person, man. Shame. All right, Hakez converts. We down 10 points. We got two minutes left in the half. LaMelo ball. Canipple get set a screen dog. Canipple. LaMelo. Melo to Bridges. Give it up. Give it up. Give it up. Give it up. Give it up. Give it up. Give it up. Miles. Miles is over. Miles Bridges is over dribbling. He’s way overdriven James. Like he does Miles did a great job of bringing two and then a third defender his way, but like Sean James was like wide open and on the corner before before he Sorry. Um that was a missed opportunity for sure. That’s a shame. It’s the same. Okay. converts. Get these girls off the screen. I want Okay. LaMelo, Canipple, Bridges, Cog Brener, and Sexton. Oo, tough, tough, tough, tough. Uh, Cog Brener can’t handle the rock turnover. Wiggins. Oh, redemption. Wiggins lost the handle, too. All right. Hornets ball. Yeah. No way the East stay this hot from three. That’s what I’m saying. There’s opportunity here. Ston trapped. Tra. Absolutely trapped. LaMelo pump fix the three attempt. Wiggins bites hella hard. Ah, LaMelo’s gone cold a little bit. He’s missed like the last three or four triple attempts. I think it’s four cuz he had one possession. One position. He had two chances at it. But what you gonna do? What you gonna do? I tell you what you’re gonna do. You can keep shooting. That’s what you’re gonna do. Wait, did just pick up a foul? Bro, just picked up his third foul. He can’t pick up Every single one of his fouls has been cheap as hell and he’s too important to be picking up these these cheap ass fouls. He’s too important to this thing to put himself in foul trouble like that. It’s a It’s the end of the half. It’s not the end of the world right now, but it’s not sustainable. Not sustainable at all. It’s also just giving up points to Miami, too. The Heat do not need any help any help with easy buckets. All right, 50 seconds left in the half. Bridges to Sexton. All right, 10 seconds on the shot clock. Count Saxon milking the clock. Waiting for his opportunity. He drives. He thinks about it. Fade away air ball jumper dog. Oh my god. This is not how you want to end the half. One is down 14. Mitchell dribbling out the clock a little bit. It’s like a six, five, six second difference. Shot clock, game clock. Ston defending Mitchell. Mitchell to Pac. No good thankfully. Come on, man. Brother Trey, man. What the [ __ ] Trey? Fam, Trey gave up a four-point play and now he just tried to save the ball, passing the ball behind his back and gave it to the other team for an easy two. He’s personally responsible for surrening to surrender surrendering six points at least. He scored six points. net neutral. But come on, man. Trey, you got to do better. Got to do better. Need you to do better. Brutal. Brutal. Brutal. Miami shooting 52% from three. 13 of 13 from the free throw line, 55% from the field. But Wiggins 11 points, two boards, two assists. Bam with 10 and three boards. Uh Larson 12. Hakez with 20 off the bench, including one crazy dunk over Musa Debate. He’s hit two threes as well. [ __ ] Christ. And Charlotte’s gone. Trey’s never been a defensive survivor, but he hasn’t been cooking offensively the way he should. Oh, for sure. It’s just like he’s making weird he’s just making weird weird stuff’s happening with Trey. He’s he’s like oddly tentative and then I’m I’m h so happy he made that three because there’s no opportunity to overthink it. He’s too good to be playing like this, you know. You don’t have to be a stopper, but you can’t just give up. Can’t As long as you’re not fouling jump shooters, right? Or throwing the ball to the other team. Everything else is acceptable if you’re doing your job offensively. This is not happening. It’s 205 tonight. But it’s halftime. I’mma step away. I’ll be back for the second half and hopefully a more well-rounded Hornets performance. Fingers crossed. But I’ll be back. I’ll be right back. There we go. We’re back. And we’re back. We’re back. We’re back. We’re back. Second half time. 16-point differential. Come on. Hornets ball. Saxon LaMelo Cog Benner Caniple. Miles Bridges. Time to lock in, boys. We back. Canibble with a triple. Could triple. Tough. Wiggins versus Cog Brener. I thought we could have had a stop right there. Melo. Melo swings it to Bridges. Bridges pump fakes out to Canipple. Canipple catch and shoot three. Oh, damn. That was nice. That That’s a pro. That’s a He’s a pro shooter. I know. Didn’t go in. That’s like one of going to be the best one of the best misses you’ll see. Like for it to look that good without bringing it in. Just only wrist. Clean clean. All right. Ston LaMelo, make it happen. Make it happen. Oh. Oh, Mitchell lost his sneaker. Make him pay. Canelo. Canelo. Caniple. Canopoulos. Make it fly. Let it fly. Let it fly. Mitchell lost a sneaker midplay. Now he still doesn’t have a sneaker on. All right. He popped it on just now. That’s hard. That’s That’s aura bringing the ball up with your sock out where for three. That was ugly. LaMelo with the rebound. LaMelo with the board versus Mitchell. That’s both the shoes on final. All right. Melo Bridges been moving the lane. Layup no good. Cal Brener there to clean it up. Cal Brener there to clean it up. Let’s go. Let’s go. Rook Wiggins. Wiggins. Caniple giving Wiggins a hard time. Larson dumps it. Blame that foul on Caniple. Khan has met. How many? Is that his first or second? JC lost. Now the Hornets are playing like it’s 2023. He is this game one of the the playoff, right? is I can never remember how the MLS playoffs go, how they’re formatted. Is it here, there? Back here. Where’s game three played? If there is a game three, how’s that work? Okay. Ston [ __ ] burner on the top of the key. Who’s gonna who’s going to jet out? All right. LaMelo triple hand off. LaMelo with the layup. No good. He hits the floor. We get We got some free throws coming in for LaMelo. Got some free throws coming in for LaMelo. He’s only been to the line once tonight. All right, Melo. First attempt. Back room missed. Brutal. Brutal. Brutal. Brutal. All right, second attempt for LaMelo Ball. It’s good. Mitchell bringing it up. Oh, Bam in the corner for three. No good. Where with the offensive board? Mitchell for three. No good. Can we get a rebound? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We got a fast break, too. LaMelo, come on. He’s doubled. Passes off Bam’s foot. The new format is stupid. His best of three. Better seed gets home field two home one away. Then it’s a one-off elimination from there on out. Plus, the top 10 teams from each conference make it which is crazy. Oh my god. MLS needs to [ __ ] relax, man. The it’s way too com the registration rules are crazy complicated. Kenipple with the miss three. It’s It’s like they got to relax. Needs to do a top eight with two leg aggregate till the final which was one off. Yeah, that makes just that just makes sense. That just makes the most sense free throw free throw dispress. Oh my god. Discrepancy. I can’t talk. Kind of crazy. Old Melo would foul out of the frustration if it didn’t change his Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. All right. LaMelo going back to the free throw line. Um, yeah, Melo. First half, LaMelo had some really whack fouls, like really lazy, weak fouls. So, it doesn’t create a lot of wiggle room for the second half for him, but he’s I feel like they’ve been they’ve been holding the whistle on a couple of his opportunities in the first half, which it’s unfortunate unfortunate. The playoffs feel so dragged out now. It doesn’t even feel like the playoffs anymore. I mean, I contend the MLS where how deep are where what week is it in the NFL? Are we week nine? Where where we at in the NFL? What week is it? It’s like week nine or week 10. Which is it? Ain’t no way the MLS should be still going on right now. It’s almost November. They need to wrap that [ __ ] up in the summer. Respectfully, because once it becomes football season, it’s been like, “All right, what we what are we doing here?” Your window is when there’s no football. Caniple Saxton for three. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Missed the second quarter. Yeah. Uh Trey man came alive like hit backtoback threes and then found James for a triple and then but from there on like that that tied the game. Then Miami was just too much. It was too much for for Charlotte to handle. What was it? 16-point lead at half. Definitely still in this thing, but need some defense. Somebody need to play some defense. Somebody got to play some defense. Oh, we also saw McNeely in the second quarter. He didn’t really miss anything to be fair. He picked up two pretty weak fouls in in quick secession. I mean, MLS is trying to move to a traditional fall schedule like other I’ve heard that too. Yeah. No, you’re right. You’re right. I’m not sure if that’s the right right thing to do. I’m not sure that’s the right thing to do, man. But their best to compete against baseball and not NFL. What the hell am I watching right now? This guy just went an iPad. I swear this dude just won an iPad because the the in arena game didn’t work. Respect. Can you Oh my god. Yeah, promotion. Relegation. Hopefully the USL can implement it quick and make the MLS X fast. It’s the best. Promotion relegation is so important to that sport, man. I wish all sports had it to be honest with you. It but I I don’t think it’ll ever happen, man. I don’t think it’ll ever happen unfortunately. Feel like the Hornets are still a second half team, but I’m happy they aren’t slow at the gates during the first half. Actually gives them a chance to win. Ex Breeze. I couldn’t agree more. Couldn’t agree more. I agree wholeheartedly. They’re in these games. No blowouts. It’s like that I was getting close to the sideline. I was worried about LaMelo flying into the bench. I don’t I don’t know if it applies to basketball like that, but there’s that thing where like that progression in football where you win. Sorry. All right. When you’re trying to rebuild, you lose big, then you lose close, then you win close, then you win big. Feels like we’re in the the lose close phase of this rebuild with the win close not too far away against the better teams right is that a block who got come on man that they got the great they got the great first stop but Hakez right place right time for the second chance opportunity tough tough all Bridges just pulls up for three. Air ball. [ __ ] hate that shot from you, dog. I wish Charles Lee would could talk to him about that. I need Charles Lee to stop him from doing that. He’s had a few of them tonight and a lot of them this year. And that’s not your bag. That is not your bag, Miles. If the NBA had uh Pro Real, the Hornets would be in the NCAA at this point. But imagine there was no draft and you could you hadmies or whatever or you could only recruit from your region. The amount of talent out of the Carolinas, Charlotte be all right. Like if they had the academy system and you could put players from this area, from the Carolinas in it, dog be up there, man. We be up there. We’ll be uh in the Eastern Conference Championship conversation easily. Oh, wait. This switch on me. It did. It switched to the heat feed. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We ain’t doing that. We ain’t doing that. Yeah, Sean’s an underrated talent and producing Sports City. Yeah, man. They got some dogs. I see these t I I see these Tik Toks all the time of like these crazy high school matchups uh in football. This is football. High school football. Um, like Myers, I I don’t know. I I don’t retain any of this information to be honest with you. But, um, okay. How many highly ranked kids are like going at it? I think there was a Was there a big game? Does anyone know? Anyone plugged in high school football scene in Charlotte? Was there a big game over the weekend or on Friday? I guess it was meant to be like seven or eight of like some of the best prospects in the country playing each other between these two different schools. I think one was Myers’s part, which wouldn’t be surprised, but I didn’t recognize the other school. Also, didn’t really pay attention to the TikTok. My attention, my attention span is cooked. Yeah, Breeze, man. Like, I I don’t get it. He’s so good at the other stuff, but insists on pulling up and taking these threes off the dribble. Who wants to corner threes off the catch all day? All day with that. even on like just green light all day off the catch. But the the dribble pullup stuff, I just don’t get it, man. Or the over dribbling into the lane. I don’t get it. You don’t need to do all that. I I get it when you’re on the when you’re sharing the floor with Dcoin Jeff and Damen Ball and them. Like, sure, go crazy. take any shot you want, but this is one of the better teams he’s ever been on the floor, like been on the floor with. Some of the best teammates he’s ever had. Mo, one of the most talented rosters he he’s ever had as a Hornet. Let him cook, man. Give the ball up. Let them other boys do do their thing. I saw that TikTok. Yeah. Yes. Has he crossed? Exactly. What What schools were that? Was one Myers Park was the other school. Oh, LaMelo to Sexton on the cut. Like that. I like that. We under 10 points now. Under a 10-point differential. 15 points for Colin Ston tonight, which is one part of my parlay, by the way. So, I like that. Like seeing that. LaMelo on the move. LaMelo. He swarmed. He stolen. Canipple hit the floor to retain possession. All right. LaMelo versus Hawz. He’s He’s not fouled. The bucket is good. Count it. Count it. That’s 20 points for LaMelo. Another part of my parlay. Let’s go. Let’s go. All right. This This is good. This is a good quarter for me. It’s a good quarter for my bet 365 account. All right. Rebound [ __ ] Brener. Come on. Oh, Saxon. Wait, I got Sexton. Caniple. I need Canipple. Four points. And I need uh I need Bridges to do a little more. Just a little more. Just a little more. Bridges for three. Count it. All right. That That’ll do it. That That That’ll get me there. All right. Sick. Bridge is one of six. But again, off the catch, in the corner all day with Miles Bridges, it doesn’t have to be in the corner, by the way. I don’t mind him shooting off the catch or on the wing or wherever else, but the dribble pullup [ __ ] ain’t it, man. It ain’t it. Off the catch all day with that, man. All day with that mouse. Lock in. Lock in LaMelo step back three. No good off the back rim. Nice crossover to create some space. Ah, and then Hawk too quick down the floor. Hornets cannot get back in time. Surrender. Another easy bucket off of Well, that that was a a miss. How much more? So, I need I need Canipple. I did a little I got a little crazy because I got like a a promo thing, like a safety net bet. So, I get my money back if it or I get my $10 back if it doesn’t hit. But, I need four points from Bridges. I need Bridges to get 15 and I need Kipple to get 15 basically at this point, which they’ve been doing so far. It’s plus 410. So it’s LaMel the parlay is LaMelo 20 points, Canipple 15 points, bridges 15 points, Ston 15 points plus 410. $10 bet to win 51. That’s where I’m at. And if it doesn’t hit, I’ll get the $10 back. I would I would I do not do fourleg parlays like that, but because I got like the the safety net bet like let’s let’s run it. And also because in in memory of Terry Roier, I thought I I thought I’d lay some money down on this one. You know what I mean? In in in loving memory of Terry Roier. We we’ll run it. We got to run it like that. All right. Hornets ball. LaMelo [ __ ] Brener Canipple Trey Man Bridges Canipple to Bridges or sorry to LaMelo wide open for three. No good. Ah. Oh man. Had an opportunity. Had a rebound. Heat too quick. Hake spin move versus Bridges out to out of bio. Out of bio with a spin move jumper. Rip Terry. Uh she’s doing well. She’s doing well. She’s still in the hospital. Thanks for asking, by the way. But uh yeah, she’s it’s just about healing up after the surgery. So like the hard part’s done. It’s just, oh my god, another alioopupin transition. Um, yeah, the difficult stuff is done. The scary stuff is done. It’s just healing up after surgery and then getting into a rehab facility and then back home. You know, after after all that, they can finally work on rehabbing the broken leg. It’s crazy. Can nipple for three short tan can’t chase down loose ball hawk is right there. Yeah, she’s doing much better and on the path to on the path to recovery. Mitchell with the left hand finish. Who was that versus? Who was that? Who was that? Yeah, he had [ __ ] burner on him. That’s the concern, right? Sevenfooter is gonna have a tough time keeping up with uh DaVon Mitchell for sure. LaMelo Canipple in the corner for three. Money, baby. Come on. All right. I need I need one point from Canipple. I need I need one more point from Kipple and then four from Bridges. Come on. Come on. All right, Trey, man. Trey the calculator. Lamela. Oh, Bella versus Bam. Small versus big. Trey for three off the catch. No good. Can we get a rebound? Can we get a rebound? Nah. Ryan didn’t know if he can go after it. Pain. B. Last touch by Bridges. Miles. Speaking of Miles going to the bench. Who’s on the floor? Salon just checked in. I think Seion James just checked in too. Yeah. Melo James man. Diabate salon. What a three, bro. They’re shooting the [ __ ] out the ball. Drew Smith with a triple. Saxon looking like he’s going to check in next. LaMelo with a brick. Ar is not that guy. The fresh enemy. Yeah, he doesn’t shoot like this normally, but if you have I hope this isn’t a thing. I hope this is not a thing, but where teams can just shoot the ball freely from distance against the Hornets because that that’s going to be that’s going to be brutal. 163 run last three plus minutes. Hakez spin move. Turn around jumper over James. No good. Sexton chases down the board. Keeps his dribble alive. Nice. Nice. Nice. Ston over to James. Car salon on the move. Sets the screen. Fades. Rolls. Man time. It’s terrible possession. Good. Good transition defense after the mistake. My god. My god. What in the hell? Hawkins with 26 points off the bench. That’s crazy. That’s crazy, man. McNeely back. Come on. Let’s go, dog. Oh, McNeely with the steal. Man in transition. Man with the layup. Of course, he misses it. My [ __ ] Christ. Hey, what the Oh my god. Yo, Trey man is so What’s going on? What’s going on with Trey? Anyone? Anyone know what’s happening with Trey May? Fast break layup. Can’t hit it. Can’t do it. What the hell? What the hell? Is it the contract that he got his money? Is Is it Is he not locked in because he got the got he got an extension? Is Is that it? I know it’s early. Everyone’s Everyone is owed some wiggle room early on into the season, but damn. Is Mel just get subbed out? Yeah, McNeely got like 30 seconds of burn. What the hell? What the hell is that? That reach 35. I’m going to That’s That’s valid. That’s valid. That’s valid, dog. All right, we’re under 90 seconds in the in the quarter. Saxton, Diiamate, man. Salon and James Trey, man in the lane, floater. There we go. There we go. Okay. Yo, Miami it gives no raw like no rest, no breather. Horn is going to make Miamiy’s forcing the ball up the court immediately and they get a triple out of it. Like immediately immediately crosscourt and they get a clean look at a at a triple. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Is it Huff is how it’s pronounced? Huff first my part. Colin S on the inbound. Yeah, I used to um I used to work in news. My first news job I was making like $10 an hour and I volunteer. Well, I didn’t volunteer because I I got paid. But Trey with the lay no good. Rip. RIP Diabate with a rebound. James to Saxton. Sexton. Diabate. No good. RIP. Oh, we had two free Oh, no. It’s free throws for Debat. Oh, no. Um, yeah. My first news job, I was making 10 bucks an hour and I got got asked the sports department if I could film high school football in high school basketball. Basically, allowed me to run up some overtime hours. Boy, it was so much fun, man. I played I played football growing up in high school up until high school or through high school. And super fun. And it was cool to to go I’d hit up two schools. I would do one half and then drive. I would do the first quarter to get highlights, drive to the next game, and then do the third quarter of the next game. in the next town, edit it all up and send it into the station during the fourth quarter basically. I missed that. I was that was a good time because I was like it was local news. Always got like free food and it was high school. Man, I was on air so like I was in a very like non-diverse area so that was very easy to spot. So they always hook me up for free with free food salon for three. Oh man. Oh man. Okay. Rough. The plus minus is tough. Yeah. Regardless, I’m still pumped for the season. Me too. Me too. The Brandon Miller thing is is is is brutal, but fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Yeah. First quarter highlights. Exactly. Yeah. I I would get I’d film everything because we were so limited in how many people we had and if it was like a I I would go to like the lesser games, you know what I mean? Like these weren’t high-profile football games I was being sent to and they weren’t close to each other. So I would go to one film the first quarter and then I would cut the highlights if if like the home team I get like I would record everything and then I only use the highlights of the team that would end up winning later. Um because it was like a like a whipound type of segment on on the news. Like they would hit all the games and probably only need 30 45 seconds of highlights, maybe a minute. like maybe a minute. But basketball was always tough to to shoot. Football is easy because of some of these like stoppages and you kind of know what down the distance like which ones to kind of take off. But I missed that. That was fun. I missed that. Yeah. Better. So again, this is ESPN. Who is this still here? Is this is this crazy food still here? So like the the number one thing on here is this is the food, right? Then Hornets Miller sideline with shoulder dislocation right. What are they saying? They’ll miss the secondary game which is right now. He’s going to be reevaluated when they get back here. But that’s it. I can’t even scroll down to the article. Right. So there’s a ESPN article talking about LaMelo or Brandon Miller injury. And when you go to is the game Yeah. gamecast on this page. No injured players for the Charlotte Hornets. On this website is an article about an injured Hornet. Forget, with respect, forget Grant Williams, forget Josh Green, but for them to have no injured players is crazy. For them to also promote gambling like they do and not disclose or have updated injury information is insane. I know it’s the Hornets. I know ESPN doesn’t give a [ __ ] about the Hornets, but like for real. That’s That’s crazy. It’s nuts. Fix your website, Disney. Fix your website, please. Oh, Trey man with the crossover. Oh, couldn’t hit the three. Second chance. Second chance opportunity for Trey Man. Nope. Sex in the corner for three. Money, baby. Let’s go, Colin. Let’s go, Colin. Let’s go dog. We little little bit at a time. A little bit at a time. So Hakas again. Gez. Where in the corner for three now? Money. Yeah. Yeah. Breeze. I It’s so It’s such a mystery like what’s what’s going on. No matter what it is, man. You just got to hope that surgery isn’t required and he’s not gone. Hopefully it’s it’s a matter of weeks and not months, right? Salon for three. Tough. That’s a bad overshoted by a lot to John Salande. Overshot that thing by a lot. GP’s a joke for that. Clearly shows that teams like the Hornets exist in name only. But these big sports companies, hockey is no good. Um only care about big teams and big names. Oh my god. legit moves moves. Um, but like for them to like for I’ve never has anyone used ESPN bet because like if you don’t know if you don’t know that Brandon Miller isn’t is hurt or that Salon. Oh yeah, that was a weird fall. He went hard into the base of the stansion. Gez. Oh, he has two free throws coming his way. Salon does. But like if you’re in the business of information, right? You you own a gambling company. You should have that available to the folks you’re servicing. It’s crazy. Is band playing right now? No. It’s um it’s Fonteo. It’s Hakez. It’s Yovic. It’s where Andrew Smith. for the Heat. Wait, he just missed a free throw. Am I tripping? Just missed that. Yeah, Salon short on the first free throw. Mouse Bridges is icing his wrist, by the way. I think that’s ice. All right, Salon goes one of two. Yeah, I got you. I got you. I’ll call out the substitutions when I notice him. I got you, my friend. Yeah, Bridges is on the bench and he has like a looks like he has a towel with maybe an ice pack underneath it. Ice in his left hand. What a three. Yoic with a clean crisp swish. Ston Ali great entry pass to Debbate. Nice and patient two-hand finish for Moose. Yes, sir. I swear to like if he’s hurt and doesn’t score four points, I’ll be [ __ ] pissed. I know it’s like a a promo bet, whatever, but like that’s [ __ ] I know it’s only 10 bucks on like a promo thing, but like come on, man. Put him back in the game. Put them back in the game. It’s frozen again. Damn it. I norm. Yeah, this is not right, man. No bueno. All right. Where is his first free throw is good. All here comes Miles. All right. Here we go, dog. Let’s go. Let’s go, champ. All right, Bridges back in the game. KL We is going to take his second attempt from the free throw line. It’s good. He goes two for two for the trip. LaMelo still on the bench. All right, Trey, man on the rock. Trey pulls up from the elbow. The no good. I didn’t I didn’t watch the World Series. I did it. Uh what’s it called? The daughter’s one, right? Is it Is it 1-1? We didn’t get back in. Let’s call that guy. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Especially with Bridges who like never gets hurt. you know, 18 in game last night. Okay. Hell yeah. Walk off home run in 18th. That’s awesome. What time was that on the East Coast? How late did that go? because that that’s a it’s a late late start or sorry late late finish. What am I talking about? On a Monday night. All right. Well, I don’t know. Okay. Here we go. Two or three. Diabate vers Hakez for the jump ball. Musa wins it. Trey man on the ball. Bridges. Oh, he passed out a layup attempt. Trey, man. Uh, it’s a turnover. It’s a turn. Is it going to be a turnover? It’s not a turnover. Oh my god. It’s gonna be a shock clock violation. No, it’s just a turnover. Come on, man. All right, we need Okay, my message, my request, I’m sending I’m sending my thoughts to Charles Lee. Get Trey man off the floor right now. Please get Trey man out and put LaMelo in. Please. Please, because nothing’s happening in the half court. Tman is selling. All right, Colin Saxon bringing it up. May we may have something here then. Oh my god, he turned the ball over. He got it ripped open. Hake’s in transition. Layup clean. All right. What in the hell? Trey to Bridges. Bridges passes to Trey. Trey short bridges. just wanted the ball. Me, too. Oh, Bridges with the block. Seion James with the recovery. All right, Trey to James. Back to Trey. Trey to Sexton. Mouse pump face a three. Mouse 43. Clean. One more. One more for Miles. One more. Bam. Under 22. Bam. Under 2022. Oh my god. Under 22. I’m good. Bam has 19. He’s about to check in. He’s at the scores table. He’s not in the game yet. Yoic for three. No good. 67 when the ref is number 67, which is a joke. All right. Looks like Canipple LaMelo and Cal Brener ready to check in. Next opportunity. Fateio with a foul off ball. We’re getting the subs in. So, it looks like Bam is checking in, which isn’t fair given the state of this game. Bam. Oh, wait. Let me wait till they’re everybody’s out there till I can see everybody that’s out there. Lamel’s been uh working a shoulder on the sideline and he’s like really like his right shoulder really loosening it up right now. All right, for Charlotte who has the ball right now. Trey, LaMelo, [ __ ] Brener, Canipple, and Bridges. LaMelo with the floater. No good. He’s going to the free throw line for the Heat. I saw Wiggins. I saw Yoic. I saw Mitchell. I saw Bam. And I don’t know. I don’t know who the fifth guy is. Well, it’s a timeout, so may may all change here shortly. Yeah, Bam just checked in. Bam just checked in, which is crazy, but I don’t know. There’s a timeout. He may come out again. I don’t know. I don’t know. Mommy needs to call the dogs off. You know what I’m saying? And let Miles Bridges score one more point. Preferably, that’d be ideal. I’d appreciate it. Can I cash out? Cuz I I’ll do that right now. Let me check. I’ll cash this thing out right now. It’s like any knowledge. I don’t know, man. Like I feel like you need 22 is a number. Like it’s weird, man. It’s 18-point game. It’s not over over yet, but it’s pretty over. I don’t know what what they’re hoping to accomplish having Bam out there that still say 2025 Kemba over Trey Man at this point. Trey is is pissing me off. I can’t can’t lie. I can’t lie. And it’s only because I have high expectations of him. Like I think he’s a really good player. He is just not He’s just not there. Hold the line. For real. For real. Faith is your bad back. Any Hey Ollie now just realized that Canipple only has 14. I thought he had 15 already. So I need him to get 1.2. So we may may be in trouble if the if if we hit I’m cashing out at 5 minutes if it’s not looking good. It’s going to walk away if it lets me. It may not let me. I don’t even know. I I can cash out right now for $17. Nah, man. We We shooting. We shooting for the stars, man. I want that 50. All right. Bridges on the inbound. LaMelo. Top burner. LaMelo to miles. All right.

We’re running this out, man. We’re running it out. Running it out. I’m I’m just trying to be mindful if I hear If Kong gets subbed out the game, I’m afraid he’s not gonna come back in. That’s the only thing I’m worried about. That’s the only thing I’m worried about. Cog Brener to Melo. Melo the man pass it. A no Khan was wide. Connor was wide open and Trey took the three. [ __ ] Mitchell. Bam on the ball. Oh no. Oh, Bam’s fouled. Two free throws coming in for Bam Adabio. [ __ ] Cog Benner fouled him. talk better. Bam. Hits his first free throw. Oh [ __ ] I got scared for a second. Trey man just got subbed out. All right, take a seat, Trey. with respect. Uh McNeely coming into the game. We got three rookies out there again with LaMelo and Miles. Uh Bam hits both his free throws. He’s at 20. Is it 20? 21. Oh [ __ ] it’s getting close. It’s getting real close. Khan, he’s fouled. Is Are we in the bonus? No. If only. If only. If only. Okay. Con on the inbound. Tipped. Fresh start. Fresh clock. Yovic is all over bridges. Okay, Bridge is on the inbound this time after Khan kind of messed that up. Khan, Khan. Oh, shoot it, bro. Bridges for three. No good. Can you piss me off, man? Just shoot the ball. Let’s get to the free throw line, my boy. Bam for three. No good. Oh yeah. Try had to try had to get subbed out because of that nonsense. For real. LaMelo can nipple for three. Yes. [ __ ] yeah.

Appreciate you, fam. Appreciate you, bro. Bridges, baseline, swings out to Caniple. Canipple for three. He makes the bucket. He’s fouled, though. Hell yeah. I needed that. I had some some I needed that. Take Bam out, bro. Legit. That’s so crazy. He’s one point away. It’s one point away. It’s 20. You said it’s 22 points, right? Under 22. Is it 22 and a half or just straight up 22 points under? Like 22 on the nose. Oh man, need these boys to lock in. Need them to lock in, man. 21 and a half. Got it. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. All right. Salon going to check in. Hakea is going to check in. I could Yo, it looks like Yoic is coming out. Bridges is taking a seat. Did Larson come in for Hawz? I think he did. Or vice versa. I’m not even sure. Nope. Never mind. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Wiggins, Larson, Hakez, Bam, and Mitchell on the floor for the Heat. Wiggins, fadeaway jumper. No good. It is good. All right. That’s good. That’s good. If that didn’t go in, I thought Bam was going to score that. So, that’s good. LaMelo, that’s a foul on Melo. The fourth foul. Yeah, that’s a charge for Melo. Mel was so close to a triple double, too. Mill picked up a tech. What? Come on, man. He must have said something he shouldn’t have said. He must have said something he should have said to that referee. Yeah, it’s a good time to take him out the game. Um, and just call it, especially because he was like his right shoulder, he was doing a lot of this and was getting some treatment on it on the bench. Four minutes left in the game, no need. 20 points, eight rebounds, nine assists. Good shift. Oh, bro. Bam with the [ __ ] reverse layup. I’m sorry, bro. I’m sorry, Xavier. I’m sorry, man. Why is he in the game? That’s [ __ ] I’m sorry, dog. Count with the bucket. Mitchell. Mitchell verse man Wiggins in the corner for three shooters roll. Yeah, what a what a roll. Trey man’s wide open for the floater and he [ __ ] takes it short. Trey, what the hell is that? He was w That was a wide open runner. No even no need to even do that type of shot. Bam. Oh, Bam just hit a clean jumper. He’s just patting stats right now. I mean, that’s what’s happening. They’re just They’re just running up the They’re running up the stats, man. I’m sorry. Canipple to man. Man to Canipple. Canipple from the wing for three short pain. Pain. Well, it’s a beatd down in a in the in this young season. Worst loss of the year. Worst game of the year. Yeah, I would be ashamed. Legit, what is with him? I don’t how long? [ __ ] man. Like, how deep into the how deep into the season could would you feel like it’s it’s tolerable? How the the way Trey man’s played? Like how deep into the season it would it be tolerable? Like when do you 10 games if like if you’re 11 games into the year and he’s still like playing like this? What do you do? What do you do? Yeah. Three for 14 with three turnovers. He’s played like he’s played like [ __ ] I mean, it’s great he he he got on the board but hit backtoback threes. Awesome. Great. Great stuff. But it’s not his fault we’re losing, by the way. Like, I’m not putting this loss on him. I’m just concerned. Trey got his contract and it’s just gone. Yeah, man. Could be KJ time. I feel like there’s a lot of guards right now anyway, right? But that’s why we’re not seeing a lot of KJ and they want to protect his like his game cap as a two-way guy. But if we get 11 games in, it may be maybe time to reallocate those minutes and truthfully. So looking at the bench available bench guys, Musa not a ball handler. Tan Salon, not a ball handler. Trey man, it’s meant to be one. Seion James, no. Liam, no. Mason, no. Pat, nah. Like when you’re talking like second unit playmaking, it’s that that’s Trey your job. That’s your job. 20 games max. You missed most of last year. Facts. I don’t even know what to say. Another year of tanking again. Are we meant to support this team? Well, there’s a lot of promise, man. There’s a lot of promise. The fact that we’re we starting two rookies and they’re both playing very well and the third rookie is looking like a real like contributor off the bench and James. We haven’t seen much of McNeely yet, but maybe that maybe that’s it, right? Maybe you stagger the LaMelo and Sexton minutes, throw in uh KJ Simpson into that rotation, right, as cover, but you give McNeely more of Trey’s minutes and see what you got there. Because I I believe in Liam McNeely. He I believe he can go he could do three or four. He could do better than three or 14. I believe Liam McNeely can equal or surpass three or 14 if given the opportunity. I at least I sure as hell hope so. I sure as hell hope so. But he doesn’t doesn’t have that playmaking element. But that being said, like Trey’s not really doing that either. Yeah. Yeah, me Melo it was the game was a blowout. Yeah, he got he got sat at at four minutes. The game was over. Miami just run up the score on us. And also LaMelo like picked up a tech and it was it was a lazy foul. It was a lot. Plus his should I think his right shoulder he was given that a lot of time. He’s not hurt or anything like that but he looks like it needed some work. I think it’s best to rest him honestly. Babe, McNeel. McNeely going to the line. Pick 2020 performers, my guy. Come on, McNeely. First attempt. No good. RIP. Come on, dog. Liam, come on, man. Come on, man. All right. Second time is the charm for Big Neilie. Who’s this guy? All right. I don’t know who this guy who’s number 17 for my Who are these guys? Where’s Oh, that’s cool. Jir Young from UNC Charlotte. That’s fire. Trey dumps it off to Musa. Musa, what the bucket? All right, 90 seconds left. Where? Fires up a corner three over Diabate. Jesus. Yeah, man. Like the the first the first trade package Musa was way better. But we don’t know. McNeely we don’t know yet. This is way too early to to make a call on McNeely. But getting that getting those Lakers Laker picks would have been big given like the uncertainty about LeBron. That’s before they got they before they got Luga and all that, but they got a look already. What talk about? They try to look at first. All right, boys. We’re under a minute. Hey, man. Yeah, Breeze McNeely for three. Count it. Count it. McNeely with the triple. Dton could have been a great Yeah, connect would have been rolled right into this mix for sure. And then plus the additional picks on top of it, but the Lakers are [ __ ] and they cancelled the trade. So what are you gonna do, man? Trade for three. Just just stop it, man. Trade. Just stop. to stop. You’ve done enough. It’s okay. We have McNeely now. What’s the Colin Coward thing? LeBron, he can go home. We’re good. Ben Simmons is here. That’s how I feel about McNeel and Treyman. I love about McNeel and Treyman. No, but yeah, it’s it’s it’s tough. It’s tough with tough out here. It’s big. Great game for Canipple. LaMelo put up a lot of good numbers tonight, but just like other This is a team loss. The defense was not there. Miami shot the hell out the ball. What? 53. Yeah. 40 23. Yeah. 23 51 field goals on 53%. Crazy. And perfect timing because my stream froze again. My leak pass uh feed froze on Caniple’s face. This is a little awkward. Reloading again. We reload this thing. All right. Miller couldn’t even save us in that. Con seeing his future flashing before his eyes right now. I love that. I love that. It’s like, oh [ __ ] this is the fourth game of this. Oh man. Yeah, the Miami Heat bench is a incredible. Hake just on an absolute generational run tonight. Crazy. Nine and 14 off the bench. just cooked us. Fully cooked us. All right, thank you all so much for watching. If you haven’t already, please like, please subscribe. I I’m going to be back tomorrow with a live stream with my my guy Balta just talking Hornets basketball in general. And then um Thursday night, I’ll be back with another watch party stream talking or you know, we’ll be watching the Orlando game together. Um hopefully that goes better than this one. Fingers crossed. But I mean, this is probably the worst loss of his life. You’re not wrong. You’re not wrong. We growing up, Duke, all that. He’s going to have to get used to it, unfortunately. But it’s not going to last forever. It’s not going to last forever. Everything’s been great thus far. This was the first like real [ __ ] the bed game of the season. and hopefully they learn from it. Hopefully. But I appreciate every single one of y’all for coming through, hanging out with me during this game. I’ll see you tomorrow and or definitely Thursday. Be back Wednesday with the live stream and then Thursday with another live stream. So stay tuned for that. Until then, I’ve been Sam. You’ve been great. Peace.
