Charlotte must feel foolish, seeing what Monk has become

Possibly. I listen to a podcast where the hosts are Hornets fans, and I know that they miss Monk, but he probably had to go through what he went through in order to get to where he's gotten to. I see it as being not dissimilar to the situation with the Kings and Gerald Wallace (and I never would have admitted this while VF21 was alive), Monk probably had to leave Charlotte in order to become this version of himself; I don't think that he ever reaches this level of play if he stays with the Hornets.

Take a look at GS - Pelicans result and you all will feel a little bit better :)

Any further down and maybe this takes the Dubs out of contention for potential trade targets the Kings might want. Making a desperate win now move when you're under .500 doesn't make much sense at a certain point. Bad news is the Pels are legit. Drop the next 3 games and the Kings could very well be in 7th.

well , my favourite soccer team has not won the title for 13 or 14 seasons and running and in this time won just one Cup...
Every time we make a good run it end to a total underdog ...
So can understand your fear :)

Somehow avoid a 4-5 or 3-6 playoff matchup with New Orleans. Or, say F it, and take a crack at them with everything on the line

Well Kayte broke my heart tonight. Uninformed announcers are my pet peeve. Brandon miller hit a 3 in the 3rd quarter and she stated how he is shooting 37% as a rookie and that it is unheard of because he wasn’t a good 3pt shooter in college. He shot 38% from 3 in college btw.

Friend of mine is a plumber and has been working on Gerald’s house. Never thought I’d be able to throw that in a conversation without mention of his name.

She was brutal tonight. She’s younger than me complaining that she can’t see the game. Like 5 times. The misspeak on miller. There was a few other things. I don’t get it. 3 years ago I thought she was fantastic.

Something underrated about this team, guys are happy to let hot hand fly. Dudes aren’t sweating their individual stats so you don’t notice how skilled they are.

So true. It's why i'm not as pessimistic after losses anymore. Yes, it sucks to lose, but i'm never worried about the chemistry going completely off the rails and guys pointing fingers at each other for anything in particular.

I kind of suspect that's where we are headed.

He's certainly capable. Keegan's bag of tricks just keep growing and growing + i suspect his next thing will be drawing fouls left and right, which we so desperately need on this team. Someone should show him tape on how Kevin Martin did the same thing over time. I'll never forget hearing about the offseason where Kmart watched tape on Dwyane Wade and figured out just what to do. Keegan is smart enough and studied enough to take a similar leap, and i think he's even more gifted as a player.

Sabonis has so far had an amazing January, and if he keeps this up he will be player of the month easy...

24.6 points per game
15.4 rebounds per game
9.2 assists per game
64.3% field goal
75.0% three point
1.4 steals per game

His really only cruddy stats are 6.2 turnovers per game and 64% free throw percentage.

Someone recently mentioned that he is playing with guys in the rotation that he didn't play with last season and sometimes you can see that in the miscommunication. He definitely needs to clean that up, but, i do think a couple of those turnovers are due to the fact that he's still forming chemistry and understanding with some of our new faces.

I kind of remember that he was asked to watch tapes of Rip Hamilton.

Eric Collins is... not great, but I love his enthusiasm.

They had a good thing going when it was him, Stephanie, and Dell as a three person team and he wasn’t too bad until they drafted LaMelo and then he just realized that screaming at the top of his lungs would make him internet famous and Dell got divorced and things took a turn for the worse.
