I Charted: The Hornets Are Losers In The "Turnover Economy" What the data reveals about Charlotte’s failure to protect possessions—and why it matters for playoff success

I got curious and wrote a thing about my sad sack Charlotte Hornets.

From the CharlotteHornets community on Reddit: Charles Lee announces Tre Mann has NOT progressed in his rehab Explore this post and more from the CharlotteHornets community

We got something from Lee a few months ago that his back wasn't responding like they had hoped. I think he lives in that Mark Williams' purgatory of "let's ramp up until it hurts and then ramp down." www.reddit.com/r/CharlotteH...

If the NBA does a mock trial over this Mark Williams trade it should be televised during All Star Weekend and the proceedings overseen by the Honorable Charles Barkley.

Well well well if it isn’t my old friend “Hornets step on a series of rakes spilled out onto a parking lot.”

Signs your favorite national reporter does not watch the Hornets

1. says that the Hornets don't play defense
2. says that Mark Williams runs the floor
3. says that Mark Williams is a rim protector
4. says LaMelo Ball is not a winning player (meaningless)

Gotta work on filling out a D.U.D.E acronym to advance a metric on this.

From a Hornets perspective, the real chasm between feeling good about this trade and feeling terrible is your answer to the question, "Did you watch the Hornets the last 2-3 weeks?" and it’s entirely understandable if the answer to that question is no.

If the Lakers were looking for a great lob threat *in the half court* they found their big.

If the Lakers were looking for a great lob threat *in transition* they did not.

If the Lakers were looking for a big man who will be tough and physical inside and defend the rim...they REALLY did not.

Okay I now fully expect PHX to panic trade for Miles Bridges. There’s a history there. If you have 7 beers and squint Bridges is a Butler comp. They can send back those weird picks they split and Nurkic. There would have to be a bunch of hoops because of the CBA but I believe in JP.

The groundhog is undersized and shoots 30%. No place for him in the modern NBA.

oh boy Hornets on local TV means they are moving the Bachelor premiere. In Nashville, whenever meteorologist Danielle Breezy pre-empts an episode with honest to god TORNADO warnings people freak the bleep out.

In the early going they were but by 97-ish when I started watching they were on WAXN.

“EVERYONE CAN WATCH!” is a hilarious admission of the current system’s failure. In a sane world that would always be the goal of a sports franchise. Down with the RSNs.

Still awaiting official word from NBA on status of tomorrow's game here at Intuit Dome, but league source told me NBA will also postpone #Hornets matchup against LA Clippers on Saturday due to area wildfires.

There should be a name for when everyone posts about "not caring about" a thing so much that it trends and everyone ends up caring about the thing. It's adjacent to the Streisand Effect.

Brandon Miller (ankle) will make his return tonight in Washington against the Wizards, per league sources. He's missed the last 3 games.

#Hornets, looking to snap 5-game losing streak, are getting their versatile swingman back.
