hornets starting 5 of ball/bridges/diabate/knueppel/miller +34.2 net in 83:39 this season entering the game vs the lakers. thats certainly not sustainable, but im guessing at this point no team's most used 5 man lineup has been better.

Their offense is dependent on Sengun creating for other guys and KD iso's. Amen hasn't taken the offensive leap they needed him too and they need a point out there too.
You giving them too much credit. There offense is depend on underwhelming Iso and offensive rebounds. IMe playing early 90’s ball. He’s reached his ceiling with Houston

take a 100 shots and shoot 33%. And casuals want to call this an elite offense because of ORTG.. the whole team slumping on offense at the same time isn’t a coincidence. Kd bails them out but look how hard he has to work for his offense. But people wanted to blame Jalen.

It’s fukking Ime and his staff.

Hornets lowkey kinda percolating

You may counter that nah they 4-6 in their last 10… but two of those were back-to-back 1-2 point Ls on a back-to-back

Fully healthy and Ritalin-sedated LaMelo, I dunno… I kinda see the vision :patrice:

Yeah, the Hornets are right there. They are just too young and dont have that closer on the squad yet ( which is why all of the close down the stretch losses). Their frenetic up and down pace dont work in half court, clutch time minute possession games.

But cant deny a squad who has road wins in the last 3 weeks over the Thunder by 27, Jazz by 55, and Lakers by 18. They are a good defensive 4 away from being Top 6-8 in East

Cam Whitmore out for the season with blood clots and I don’t even know if Jalen Green has played ball yet this season. Damn
