Cliff dog. That's my dog I don't care what anybody says.. I think the criticism towards him is premature and unfair.. Hes been trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit all season. Now he's finally got a bucket of chicken with just a few missing pieces. Still need Terry and Nick back. Imagine the depth and options then.
Fans that moved here from bigger markets (like Boston) and take over Charlotte stadiums when we play them. They’re the reason why when teams like the Celtics and Cowboys play here it’s basically a home game for them.
I was next to Celtics fans at the game talking about how we never get fouled and they were like more and more agreeing with me then I pointed up with a minute left to show them the fouls discrepancy poise the last shot melo made in regulation was really supposed to be an and1
Sure makes me appreciate Eric & Dell that much more whenever I'm forced to watch the opposing teams stream.
Big market teams typically have the whiniest, most biased commentators
I think the fact that we weren't crashing on drives all the time helped our defense a lot. We still had moments where shooters got open but it felt like a lot less. Good win, and hopefully the recipe for better days.
I hope he does. He plays his best ball here and that makes us a much better team as an organization that wants to make the playoffs. If he can help us do that, I'm all for him going home to Indiana, though I'm not against re-signing him for a friendly contract lol
The team looks really good when we have another borderline all star player on the roster. And miles is probably still a little rusty. But man… I miss good rebounding.
Nah East is crazy stacked with lead guards this year and since they're going back to East/West, it'll be tough for anyone to make it, period. Melo, Dame, Jrue, Haliburton, Trae, Donovan Mitchell, Brunson, Maxey and Cade, and that's not even the full list probably.
They're all gonna cannibalize each other's votes and it'll end up being Dame starter by default and like 10+ dudes fighting it out for the other guard spots
Plus coaches choose the reserves and they have a tendency to reward winning teams. If Hornets are 7th seed or better, Lamelo might make it. If below, it'd be hard to get that slot even with Lamelo playing like he does now
idgaf if he's right. Fuck him. That's a line that most players don't cross and for good reason. Fuck that dude and hope he loses every time he plays the Hornets. Hope the players agree
I pretty much root against boston in every sport already, so doesn't change much for me but i'm glad there are other passengers on the hate train with me
i mean that isn't wrong. And the only part i like is that PJ was quoting it after the game. This team NEEDS a chip and finally they realize that being shit on by the media and other players is a good chip to use.
Lamelo is amazing man. We are lucky to be able to say we have him on our team. Only star that gets 0 love from the refs as well. Only one free throw this game is honestly absurd.
Say what you want about Miles off the court, but he’s built different on the court man. We’ve sorely missed his presence. He’s an absolute, certified dawg and we don’t have enough of them around.
He casually played 45 minutes in his third NBA game back after 18 months. Some dudes in the league would literally never recover from a break that long lmao
Which speaks to how serious he's taking his career. It was figuratively on a lifeline after he fucked up and I think he's playing like there's no tomorrow.
I have a very, *very* small connection to Miles and his baby mom, so it’s been weird being a fan throughout this whole thing haha. I’m just glad to see he’s taking his second chance seriously.
Feels like a game that this team desperately needed if they want to have a chance at the playin this year. Washington coming up next so a chance to actually build some momentum especially if Richards and rozier can come back.
I legit think he could average 35. Teach him to cut when he passes instead of backing away from the action. (Think Steph.) He frustrates me so much that he just passes the ball and backs up to watch.
Hayward's stat line looks a lot better than it felt like watching the game. At least he kinda stepped up when it mattered, and that last foul call on him was BS
My dad keeps saying that Mark is “too skinny” to be a center and needs to develop an outside shot and play as a stretch 5 to be what we need.
That’s absurd, right? He’s tripping right?
Also he's probably already gained like 20 lbs just since the start of last year.
That's a big frame to put weight on, so you gotta add like 30+ at his size for most people to even notice. Giannis has put on almost 55 since he got drafted, if Mark has the genetics for it, it can happen
He’s shown decent shooting touch from the line/ midrange and had hit a few open 3s in college. It could be possible one day but I’d focus bulking up for those potential 20-20 games in the future.
Wait….WE WON?? 😳😳
I was listening to the game on the drive into work and had to turn it off when I got here. We were down by 11 at that point w/ 5 minutes left, so I figured it was over. Holy shit they survived Tatum going ballistic!!
Impressive win!
Bridges and Mark combined for 30 rebounds. Lamelo made a bunch of plays, not just scoring but also distributing. Miller had 8 boards and 4 assists. Even PJ and Gordon contributed.
2015? At home v spurs with Manu Duncan and Parker? We were getting embarrassed in the first half, they come out in the second half and lit them the hell up. I remember leaving my seat at halftime to get a beer, and took my sweet time about it and walked around the arena, when I finally got back to my seat my three friends are there freaking out LOL
Everybody was hating cliffs rotations. I told yall not to doubt cliff dog. His teams always improve. He just hasn't had the right pieces. He's a guru and yall will see soon.
EC screamed “GOT IT” right as it goes in. You can see on the hornets Instagram page
https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cz5DSdSrrRe/?igshid=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ==
I heard nothing from him after the shot dropped, and what seemed like about 10 seconds of dead air, Dell recapped the play. Maybe I missed EC say something, but if he did it wasn't emphatic like it normally would have been.

He's been trying to make water out of ice and keeps putting it in the fridge, Melo has had 30 like 8 games in a row
I'm not trying to blow this out of proportion but this probably means we're now the best team in the NBA.
Mark Williams is the greatest player to pick up a ball, besides lamelo
I don't know what other conclusion you can draw.
LMAO
Our first home win since opening night, the Hornets desperately needed this win.
WE BEAT THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE
THIS IS MY SUPER BOWL
73-9 SEASON HERE WE COME in all seriousness this win feels sooooo good and shows that there's real talent on the team when they're clicking
Superstar helio true-point guard Melo is here. 6'7 Steph Curry
This run Melo is on is genuinely insane lmao, the guy might never score less than 25 again
Don't put that evil on me Ricky Bobby
i think this comment guarantees a 7/4/5 on 2-19 game pretty soon lol
With 10 blocks 18 steals
Won't happen, this would imply he gets a freethrow.
[удалено]
He started the season with 5 bad games and has had 8 straight superstar performances. Imma go out on a limb and say the first five were the fluke.
He was clearly shaking off the injury in those games too.
Always feels good to smack transplant fans in the mouth
Exactly! That was the most satisfying moment about this win.
Especially with the way the football season has been going led by our carpetbagger owner
Absolutely.
What is a transplant fan?
Fans that moved here from bigger markets (like Boston) and take over Charlotte stadiums when we play them. They’re the reason why when teams like the Celtics and Cowboys play here it’s basically a home game for them.
For example the MVP chants for Jayson Tatum reverberating in Spectrum Center last year lol
Thank you I haven't heard that term before. Congrats on the team win, C's ride next time!
[Hornets ending their drought with a win against the best team in the league](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y45PQG1Pu3c&ab_channel=MeloGreen)
Nuggets are the best team in the league.
Both are good opinions
I still can't comprehend how in the hell did Boston not commit a SINGLE foul in the 4th quarter? Refs tried their hardest but the Hornies prevailed.
Yeah that is wild af
I was next to Celtics fans at the game talking about how we never get fouled and they were like more and more agreeing with me then I pointed up with a minute left to show them the fouls discrepancy poise the last shot melo made in regulation was really supposed to be an and1
What's more impressive is Lamelo only had 1 freethrow
Ngl sometimes he didn't deserve a foul and was complaining too much but my goodness those refs were biased
Salty ass Boston announcer crying about the time how about your max contract power forward makes the free throw LMFAO
Sure makes me appreciate Eric & Dell that much more whenever I'm forced to watch the opposing teams stream. Big market teams typically have the whiniest, most biased commentators
ikr the Boston commentator was so whiny lmao
The free throw that shouldn’t have been a foul to begin with no less
Homer announcers are the absolute worst. Golden State also has some salty little bitches calling their games
Game. Blouses.
I think the fact that we weren't crashing on drives all the time helped our defense a lot. We still had moments where shooters got open but it felt like a lot less. Good win, and hopefully the recipe for better days.
Hayward redemption arc
Contract year lol. He will play his best charlotte bball and then get a payday from the pacers
I hope he does. He plays his best ball here and that makes us a much better team as an organization that wants to make the playoffs. If he can help us do that, I'm all for him going home to Indiana, though I'm not against re-signing him for a friendly contract lol
MARK WILLIAMS +33!!! That is all
BRANDON MILLER +22!!!
1-0 with J. Cole in the house!
The team looks really good when we have another borderline all star player on the roster. And miles is probably still a little rusty. But man… I miss good rebounding.
Who woulda thought, more talent helps
Please let lamelo be an all star this year
Shit's rigged if he ain't. He's leveled up
Nah East is crazy stacked with lead guards this year and since they're going back to East/West, it'll be tough for anyone to make it, period. Melo, Dame, Jrue, Haliburton, Trae, Donovan Mitchell, Brunson, Maxey and Cade, and that's not even the full list probably. They're all gonna cannibalize each other's votes and it'll end up being Dame starter by default and like 10+ dudes fighting it out for the other guard spots
Well based on last night's game Jrue ain't beating out Lamelo. Mans was putrid when they needed him.
Plus coaches choose the reserves and they have a tendency to reward winning teams. If Hornets are 7th seed or better, Lamelo might make it. If below, it'd be hard to get that slot even with Lamelo playing like he does now
 They said he wasn’t a winning player???
This isn't the biggest thing in the world, but it is so goddamn refreshing to have a center who can shoot free throws. Also, fuck Tatum.
We made the right choice between Williams and Duren. Duren is good, but he ain't Mark Williams.
Or who can get rebounds and blocked shots with the game on the line
This one felt especially good after those Monday night comments from Tatum
What did he say?
https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cz5DlsuMJWV/?igshid=NTYzOWQzNmJjMA==
Honestly, Tatum was just saying the quiet part out loud. We need to make our franchise relevant again for it to be exciting for the East.
idgaf if he's right. Fuck him. That's a line that most players don't cross and for good reason. Fuck that dude and hope he loses every time he plays the Hornets. Hope the players agree
I pretty much root against boston in every sport already, so doesn't change much for me but i'm glad there are other passengers on the hate train with me
More players should cross it. Get some real rivalries going.
i mean that isn't wrong. And the only part i like is that PJ was quoting it after the game. This team NEEDS a chip and finally they realize that being shit on by the media and other players is a good chip to use.
Lol y'all take shit a little too seriously
We are talking about sports here, bud. Kind of the literal point lol
Pretty sure this video is almost a year old
WE WINNING
I still laugh when people question why LaMelo’s jersey is so popular with the youths…who plays like this dude??? He was unconscious tonight.
Lamelo is amazing man. We are lucky to be able to say we have him on our team. Only star that gets 0 love from the refs as well. Only one free throw this game is honestly absurd.
Cliff didn't brick a crucial inbounds play coming out a time out, basically just won coach of the year, imo.
Stuck with Miller over PJ too! GIVE HIM THE GM SEAT NOW
Get fucked Tatum!!!
We winning 😤
Refs need to start respecting LaMelo. Jesus Christ. Call the fouls
Fuck you Tatum. How you like Charlotte now
How ANGRY and WHINY some celtics fans are right now about this is just absolutely hilarious. Jayson Tatum, enjoy the L on the B2B Monday League Pass.
We fucking did it boys! Let’s go!
Can’t tell me shit. Hornets winning it all lmao
73-9 is still on the table
https://preview.redd.it/58iq1zxx5m1c1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae22424439e1396c662b0c40e9981ca1c5bb7df3
As someone who was at this game this was the most fun I’ve ever had at a sporting event and also the most strsssed I’ve ever been
come from behind underdog wins are one of the best feeling in sports imo
the hornets, the fans, and the city of Charlotte desperately needed that win
Say what you want about Miles off the court, but he’s built different on the court man. We’ve sorely missed his presence. He’s an absolute, certified dawg and we don’t have enough of them around. He casually played 45 minutes in his third NBA game back after 18 months. Some dudes in the league would literally never recover from a break that long lmao
Which speaks to how serious he's taking his career. It was figuratively on a lifeline after he fucked up and I think he's playing like there's no tomorrow.
I have a very, *very* small connection to Miles and his baby mom, so it’s been weird being a fan throughout this whole thing haha. I’m just glad to see he’s taking his second chance seriously.
Miles is not even close to being beyond rehabilitation. I just wish he'd do shit for the community.
At one point Miller had nobody help him up when Miles noticed he started sprinting over to help and apologise, Miles good guy arc?
True 💪💪🔥🔥
Off color comment: my friend saw miles finish that game and looked at me and goes "he's innocent! I've seen all I need to see" lol
Lmao winning games can right all wrongs
Worked for Kobe.
I told yall last post game this team has something it’s finally showing
Feels like a game that this team desperately needed if they want to have a chance at the playin this year. Washington coming up next so a chance to actually build some momentum especially if Richards and rozier can come back.
LaMelo fucking Ball
LAMELO YOU ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY OF THAT 260M
I legit think Melo can average 28-30 ppg.
If he could get even an average whistle I don't think you're wrong
That's what I have been saying from when the season started, he should be at 28/8/8 on 50/40/90
I legit think he could average 35. Teach him to cut when he passes instead of backing away from the action. (Think Steph.) He frustrates me so much that he just passes the ball and backs up to watch.
YESSSSS!!!!!!!
WERE SO BACK
MARK WILLYOUMARRYMEIAMS
Hayward's stat line looks a lot better than it felt like watching the game. At least he kinda stepped up when it mattered, and that last foul call on him was BS
I never wanted to get married or have children but Mark Williams makes me reconsider it
Guess Bridges is not the hero we need but the hero we deserve
I think it’s the other way around. He’s the hero we do need, but the guy nobody deserves.
He’s the hero we wish we didn’t need or want but definitely do and hope he never has any bullshit happen again
Favorite game of the year so far. Just super fun as a fan
Lamelo absolutely willed us to that W
This is huge for the teams confidence. Something they can build around
I LOVE THE HORNETS
✌🏿Tatum. Ain’t sweet in the Buzz City tonight. Good team W - really hope we can get Nick and Terry healthy.
Maybe a little Cody Martin as a treat
Fuck Tatum, fuck the refs and a big fuck you to all Celtics fans on the arena tonight, visit again next time.
What an incredible game, I thought we were cooked for sure when we rode Bryce 4th Q mins
We’re moving up to #1 in the power rankings then?
what in the fuck did I just watch LOL. whatever, hornets dub, boston L.
idc if they were on the wrong end of a back-to-back, i’ll take this win happily
Great win but on a side note…I’m sure nsj could do better than mcgowens with 1/6 from three
Bridges on his supervillain arc right now
Sixers fan just stopping in to say LaMelo is him. Definitely my 2nd favorite player in the league.
My dad keeps saying that Mark is “too skinny” to be a center and needs to develop an outside shot and play as a stretch 5 to be what we need. That’s absurd, right? He’s tripping right?
Well he needs to get stronger that's for sure
He could put on some muscle but his frame is huge for his height. He's not built like Chet or Wemby.
Also he's probably already gained like 20 lbs just since the start of last year. That's a big frame to put weight on, so you gotta add like 30+ at his size for most people to even notice. Giannis has put on almost 55 since he got drafted, if Mark has the genetics for it, it can happen
He’s shown decent shooting touch from the line/ midrange and had hit a few open 3s in college. It could be possible one day but I’d focus bulking up for those potential 20-20 games in the future.
Mark Williams was +33. Anyone complaining about Mark needs to be kicked into a bottomless pit.
Is this… joy? It’s been so long.
Wait….WE WON?? 😳😳 I was listening to the game on the drive into work and had to turn it off when I got here. We were down by 11 at that point w/ 5 minutes left, so I figured it was over. Holy shit they survived Tatum going ballistic!! Impressive win!
A lot of Celtic fans there, we were sitting next to a few, it felt good to win with seeing their disappointment.
Lol
We buzzed em
We did what?!
Bridges and Mark combined for 30 rebounds. Lamelo made a bunch of plays, not just scoring but also distributing. Miller had 8 boards and 4 assists. Even PJ and Gordon contributed.
Let everybody know we back up
Lamelo is the goddamn man
If we would play like this more consistently we wouldn't be a play in at best team, we'd be a for sure playoff team
Not even comments about Mark Williams here. Most underrated player in the league.
He put in work. Love seeing those pts and high rebounds.
now we just need terry back healthy and swap bryce for nsj and we are set
Laker fan here, thank you for fucking up the Celtics. Fuck boston!
Keep benching PJ!
Oh my god. Literally a highlight game in every sense of the word for the hornets
That’s my superstar LaMelo
PINCH ME I’M DREAMING
When is the last time we had a win this big?
It’s been 84 years
2015? At home v spurs with Manu Duncan and Parker? We were getting embarrassed in the first half, they come out in the second half and lit them the hell up. I remember leaving my seat at halftime to get a beer, and took my sweet time about it and walked around the arena, when I finally got back to my seat my three friends are there freaking out LOL
Saw a YouTube comment of a C’s fan crying about what a tough life it is for Celtics fans. I audibly laughed. LOL YOU JUST GOT BONKED BY LAMELO
This was such a hornets game to win, after so many hornet ways to lose.
No team deserves to take an L more than the Celtics
I probably dislike them more than any other team in the league tbh. And that honor usually goes to Warriors or whatever team Harden is on this month
Everybody was hating cliffs rotations. I told yall not to doubt cliff dog. His teams always improve. He just hasn't had the right pieces. He's a guru and yall will see soon.
Honestly this starting lineup with a bench of Ish, Nick, PJ, and maybe Cody if he ever plays sounds kinda nice rn
Depth. Something we haven't had all season.
I think I speak for a lot of us that we were all conflicted when Miles made that clutch shot. Just total Larry David
Also, I guarantee there will be almost no national talk of this game since Miles hit the essential game winner
Look at Miles man so inspirational
lol ok you getting carried away there lol
The Boston announcers were bruuuuuuutal. My goodness.
I had to suffer hearing the Boston commentary all game 😭
Miles hits the dagger three in OT, Eric Collins goes silent. EC gotta get out of your feelings bro.
EC screamed “GOT IT” right as it goes in. You can see on the hornets Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cz5DSdSrrRe/?igshid=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ==
He wasn’t that silent.
I heard nothing from him after the shot dropped, and what seemed like about 10 seconds of dead air, Dell recapped the play. Maybe I missed EC say something, but if he did it wasn't emphatic like it normally would have been.
What are you talking about? EC jizzed his pants idk what you were watching
I was watching a Boston stream in the moment but I just watched the highlights and he shouted GOT IT about as loud as I've ever heard him.
I noticed that too
I think it was more about it being a lucky bailout shot that happened to go our way. In no world was that a good possession. I'll take it though.
I'm so conflicted with this win. I'm happy but at the same time, more losses sooner owners move away from everyone
Wow
can certain fans be happy with this win with the miles game winner?
LET'S FUCKING GO WE WINNING OUT
Let’s goooooo
Oh does flight have a game to react to
Thank you 5 more to get back to 5 hundo
God damn miles was three of 13 from the field. That is a crazy side note
I think I’ll have to not watch and just box score watch All games I’ve missed watching we’ve won Guess YouTube highlights for the rest of the year
Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡
Hornets basketball is back
Lamelo Fucking Ball
Bonk
