The Timbertrolls may make the Finals if they beat Denver.

TJ McConnell is such a solid bench leader. nothing exciting about him which probably made him undervalued.

If seeing his fellow 2020 draft mates Ant and Haliburton in the second round by embracing unselfishness and fitting into a team concept doesn’t light a fire under Melo, nothing will.

It’s not his fault he’s been hurt but if he can’t get motivation to go after his issues and take the game more seriously than he ever has, he never will.

Critical offseason for this franchise and its star player. It’s been 2 years since he played a full season, an eternity in the NBA.

Kelly Oubre with 2 dumb defensive fouls in the last minute jeopardising his team's chance of victory.

He's just not a smart human being.

Such a shame to see Batum, Oubre and Lowry go down to the Knicks. Wankers

Kyle Lowry held out for a 1st Rd exit.

Dude could have had a earlier vacation had he stayed in Charlotte. Wasted 2 weeks of his time smh.

Tobias Harris is like Hornets Nic Batum. Paid a bunch of money to do nothing.

Evan Mobley is incredibly disappointing.
