At The Hive: For Charlotte Hornets Fans

The 2019 NBA Draft Lottery is in the books, so we know with certainty what the Hornets are working with going into the offseason. We talk about why it's necessary that the team re-sign Kemba Walker if he's willing to return and address how the team can improve the team around him. Zach's idea is particularly outlandish, but it might be crazy enough to work. We preview the coming weeks on At the Hive and briefly touch on the draft.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jonathan and Zach square off in a two person snake draft to create the best teams of all time Charlotte Hornets that they can. Before that, they recap the first round of the NBA Playoffs and Jonathan explains how things could be worse for Hornets fans.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jonathan and Zach here to put a bow on the Charlotte Hornets season. We review the season and determine whether it was a success or a failure. We discuss the development of the young guys, where Miles Bridges' rookie season ranks among recent Charlotte rookies, and our disappointment with one young player. We talk about the job James Borrego did in his first year and how well he did implementing the things he talked about during the offseason. We also talk about if there was anything we would've done differently over the course of the season to improve the team's chances of making the postseason.  After all that, we segue into our first new segment of the offseason- the Hive Five. In this segment, we each give our top five based on a topic we decide beforehand. With the season fresh in our minds, we debuted this segment with our top five moments from the 2018-19 season.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We start the show off with a little numbers game, courtesy of Zach. It's a fun and also depressing game, so prepare your ears for that. It also gives him an outlet to express his anger. We transition from that into a summation of the Hornets last three losses (who cares about the win over the Spurs at this point), which include another series of depressing numbers. We talk about what these losses mean for the franchise moving forward.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jonathan and Zach talk about the Charlotte Hornets surprisingly successful week against a tough slate of opponents. Of course, there can be no conversations about last week's game without talking about Jeremy Lamb's magnificent half-court buzzer beating game winner. We also talk about the Hornets surprising comeback against the discombobulated Celtics, their respectable win over the Timberwolves, and their fourth agonizing loss to the 76ers. We look ahead to this week's slate of games, and boy, it's an interesting one.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jonathan and Zach hop on a call during halftime of the Hornets match-up with the Miami Heat. They put a bow on the Hornets most recent week of play while previewing next week game by game. This is all done while the Hornets and Heat play arguably the worst basketball game of all time.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hornets lost a big game to the Heat in the ugliest of fashions, they narrowly escaped the Wizards, then had a solid loss to the Bucks. While summing all that up, we talk about Dwayne Bacon's reentry into the rotation, Frank Kaminksy's resurgence, and Eric Collins being the wildest play-by-play guy of all time. We also look ahead to this week's slate of games, talk about the merits of Dell Curry getting his jersey retired, and some random NBA trivia.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jonathan and Zach try to get this podcast started on the right foot. I think it was pretty good. We talk about the state of the Hornets, their chances of making the playoffs, rotation changes, how the rest of the season will affect the offseason, and shoes.  Thanks for getting in on the ground floor with this podcast. It's only going to get better from here.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
