"Fun this hornets team is pure entertainment that game was fire"

@engagemyfarm believed the Hornets were a play-in side.

"If Lamelo keeps scoring and dishing it like this, Brandon Miller keeps shooting well, and the rest of the team keeps playing their roles well, they might make it into the play in the tournament!"

@dreydreyzin thought it too.

"Once we got our centers back and with time (with no injuries by love of the god) we'll start talking"
