Hands down favorite hat I own

Does anyone know of where to find some hornets hats that are kids size? I can’t for the life of me find anything that is youth sized for the hornets. I haven’t been able to find anything for smaller teams (hurricanes, hornets). If anyone has a link please let me know

Will we get offseason injury updates on M. Williams and LaMelo? Not sure if the team will still post updates in the offseason. Appreciate any insight!

He’s the biggest example of why it’s been so fucking hard to turn this team around that I can think of. He quit on the Hornets: that is abundantly clear. Didn’t give a shit about trying on defense at all this season. Was incredibly lazy and going through the motions. His reward? He gets to go to Dallas and have a big game in the 2nd round of the playoffs and he’s being praised for escaping the Hornets when HE was one of the biggest problems we had this season.

This franchise has its hands tied more than any other in the league. When you’re a perennial loser, it takes a certain kind of player to want to come here that isn’t afraid of being mocked. That’s gotta be a good 30-40% of the league at minimum with as immature as so many guys are out there. Just sucks man, it’s not remotely equitable and we’re gonna be stuck until we find some guys in the draft (no choice in the matter in what team they go to) that aren’t afraid of giving it their all for the Charlotte Hornets.

I'd like to ask what everyone thinks will be specific points of player development under this new coaching staff, given their previous experience with star players. Meaning, not just he needs to add strength because all young players do.

For example, I've been thinking how Miller could really use a post up game watching the playoffs and iso possessions. Not sure he has strength to hold post or move players yet, but he has size and shooting to be dangerous. I think Lee's experience with Middleton and Tatum will be fun to explore for Miller. And so on.

Mark Williams in drop coverage like Lopez from Bucks. Potentially being a stretch 5 too. Even Clifford hinted at that for Williams one day.

So if we did reach a handshake agreement with Charles Lee, will we need to wait until the Celtics season is over? At this point with both phoenix and LA in the search I can only assume it’s this or our outcome is pretty bad .. anyone else have a silver lining outside Lee wants the Celtics season to end before announcing new job

Just a fun discussion on what do you think we’d currently look like if we drafted someone other than Lamelo. Example if we drafted Anthony Edwards or Tyrese Halliburton. If you could do the draft over would you?

This is the way… 13+ wins and we’re in the playoffs or play in. No question.

Who are you cheering to get that ring the most?
