Coming into this game, the Hornets were the 8th seed in the East at 8 wins and 12 losses. This despite the fact that they are one of the worst teams in the league; pretty much all their wins have been by one or two points, and when they lose, they lose big. Like tonight….

Do Hornets fans even feel sad about the Kemba Walker situation anymore? Sure, it was unfortunate that the franchise centerpiece who never led them anywhere meaningful had to walk for nothing, and it was unfortunate that his nominal replacement was deputy tank commander Terry Rozier, but something way more fortunate emerged from those unfortunate things….

Michael Jordan must be losing it right now. At least, in my personal Charlotte Hornets lore, he’s losing it. Because, in that lore, Terry Rozier was hand-picked by MJ to be the most courageous tank commander that the NBA has ever seen. Rozier was supposed to play forty MPG per game, take twenty shots per…

Two games, two game-winners in a row for the Charlotte Hornets. The first one by Malik Monk, this one by Devonte’ Graham. The Hornets might not actually be a good team, but they sure know how to get it done in clutch situations this year. I don’t think the Charlotte faithful know how to react;…

Devonte’ Graham might have gotten the double-double, and the Hornets might have gotten the win, but Graham unfortunately entered distinguished territory (and not the good kind of distinguished) by requiring 23 shots to score eighteen points in this game. Scoring fewer points than you take shots is bad enough. To have that difference be so…

Everyone is noticing, with great glee, that Devonte’ Graham is totally outplaying Terry Rozier. But I wouldn’t be so quick to blame Rozier. It’s not his fault that the Hornets organization offered him that money, he had to take it. And besides, not only is Graham outplaying him, he’s outplaying everyone on the entire Hornets…

How soon is too soon to talk about the MIP Improved Player race and Devonte’ Graham’s place in it? Because if it’s too soon right now, I’ll just stop the description right here. If this is a conversation that people don’t want to have, that’s fine. I respect that. And I hope you, likewise, will…

I am finding it funny that the Hornets are going to be paying Terry Rozier 19 million dollars to back up Devonte’ Graham. Rozier may still technically be the starter, but after this nutso performance by Graham, I don’t know how much longer they can justify that decision. Rozier hasn’t even been that bad (somehow),…
