EP 166: Listener Mailbag! How can the Hornets get Better?

Mark records this one solo and breaks down the Hornets’ fun win over the Heat, including a vintage LaMelo Ball performance with 30 points and 13 assists and more encouraging signs from Charlotte’s young core. He also digs into a big-picture roster question: are the Hornets set at center with Moussa Diabate and Ryan Kalkbrenner, and is power forward the spot that needs more attention moving forward?

Later, Mark answers listener questions on possible rotation changes, why Sion James may be the weak link in the current 10-man group, and whether players like Liam McNeeley may deserve a bigger opportunity. He also gets into the always-heated Brandon Miller vs. Scoot Henderson debate, including how many first-round picks Portland would have to attach to Scoot in a hypothetical Miller trade.

To close the show, Mark shares a new Love of the Week and Heartbreak of the Week, reacts to poll results from Hornets fans, and heads to Media Corner with stories from Serbian basketball culture, a Red Star vs. Partizan rivalry moment, and a great Belgrade pickup story that somehow turns into a Kemba Walker and Vasilije Micić crossover.
