The Hornets are lively at the start of the season. Three games, three wins. Clear, crisp and precise, this is the best start in the NBA for the Hornets on Charlotte soil. A historic departure for LaMelo Ball and his friends to the delight of His Airness.
While the onset of fall temperatures usually produces the opposite effect on this type of insect, Hornets are much more resilient this year. Hit the Pacers at home to start well, the Cavs in Ohio for reassurance before ending the Nets in Brooklyn… did you say solid? We say very solid. This is the Hornets’ perfect start to the season. The recipe: passion, vice and talent, a lot of talent. The Hornets are young (24 years old on average), and they play fast and smart like LaMelo Ball who is establishing himself as the hub of the team. Dad must be in heaven, his little hornet turns 22 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6 assists in the first three games of his second NBA season but the youngest of the siblings Ball is not the only one to make his team shine . Miles Bridges – in addition to demolishing the circles and the Top 10 with a 360 ° blow – also appears more and more solid while Gordon Hayward, who can sublimate the whole according to his version of the evening, takes shape as a perfect X factor. Without forgetting the second knives which are really sharp with in particular the traveler Ish Smith but also the brave PJ Washington, the aerial Cody Martin, the venerable Mason Plumlee (yes) or the swaguesque Kelly Oubre Jr … The swarm is homogeneous, exciting and he fights to the end regardless of the opponent, which is always better than fighting between teammates like some. Race result 3-0 and the best start to the season in the history of the Hornets in Charlotte.

A victory in Brooklyn (yes, yes) and the Hornets are 3-0 at the start of the season. They had already started with a 4-0 in 2008, when the franchise was in New Orleans. But in Charlotte, it had never happened. #nba75

To Charlotte yes, because uA team named Hornets had already made such an exciting debut but they were playing in Louisiana, New Orleans at the time when, led by Chris Paul and David West, the Hornets started with a 4-0 in the 2006- seasons. 07 and 2007-08. Another world far away. Years passed, the NBA returned to Charlotte via the Bobcats – who held more of a small kitten than an aggressive big feline – between 2004 and 2014, and the Hornets only reappeared in Charlotte in 2014 under the leadership of Michael Jordan. A return to basics which marked a revival driven in particular by Kemba Walker, who has since become the best scorer in the history of the franchise ahead of Dell Curry. Yes some forget it but Charlotte has her little story and the NBA is well anchored in North Carolina. Muggsy Bogues, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Dell Curry or other Glen Rice punctuated the early years of the Hornets in the 80s and 90s but all these talented players have never achieved what the troupe at LaMelo is trying to achieve. to achieve. These little Hornets are getting big and consolidating their nest after an interesting 2020-21 year with 33 wins and 39 losses and a qualification for the play-in tournament without winning the precious sesame. The promises are therefore confirmed at the start of the season and if that continues, the opposing teams will have to start stocking up aspivenom to treat the bites. Next opponent of the Hornets, the Celtics this evening.
Three victories in three games, youth and good play. The Hornets have made the ideal start to the season to the delight of the owner. With 79 more wins to go to the historic 82-0, the whole city of Charlotte is buzzing and the bottles of mead are already ready to flow.
