We look at the ripple effects of the Hornets-Lakers game postponement and probably Clippers game postponement due to wildfires in Los Angeles. LaMelo Ball continues to dominate in All-Star voting, leading all Eastern Conference guards, but is the media too harsh on him? We break down why his play deserves recognition despite the Hornets’ struggles. Finally, we tackle fan-submitted questions in the Sicko Satchel, including whether it’s time to trade Miles Bridges and what Charlotte’s biggest areas of improvement are. Don’t miss this loaded episode covering all things Hornets!
