It is baffling that someone could be THAT grounded. Stephen Hawking could jump higher than that. And he's a nerd.

Yea I totally understood u I was just adding onto your statement....but yea I'm with u

Now when davis goes out we go down by 7, are we that bad or is davis that good?

Davis is the only person this game who has a positive while on the court at +1, everyone else is at -7 or -8, eek

Porter is not elite. Sorry to burst your bubble. If people describe Davis as elite, no way is porter even close. No one in this draft is close.

Babbit has no life on his shot. Remind me of me, hahaha.

He might not be elite currently but his ceiling is very high and some might consider him an elite prospect. If we can get him at the 3 I think that'd be amazing with his length n scoring ability. He is an all around nice player. Def no players with his ceiling and skills after the 10 spot.

+/- is a bad stat. What you should of looked at is the fact that monty subbed in 4 bench players at once at the timeout after davis's fouls.

We had

Vasquez
Mason
Miller
Thomas
Anderson

on the floor.

I guess a tie at the end of the 1st is good. Was looking like Portland was going to run away with it from the beginning.

Useless stat as last game Davis had 22 18 game and was -10..only hornets player in + was Terrell Harris at + 12 lol

Darius has to stop fouling 3 point shooters or he will find himself back on the bench. C'mon man

Even on his most benign of contests Miller still finds ways to foul people.

Horrible call actually. My bad Darius

Phantom call.

Darius never touched him.

Didn't say elite, i said elite skill set.

Hornets yet to go to the FT line

I like Porter a ton, but he reminds me of a guy like Batum who won't ever hurt you, but probably won't wow you as well. I could be wrong on that assessment since i've only seeing scouting vids.

MONEY MASE FOR 33333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go Roger.

Lilliard looks shaken up, hope he's fine.
