In the 44th episode of Buzz Beat, we recap the week in which the Charlotte Hornets took on Cleveland, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In the two losses, there were some common themes. Between the lack of defense, the team having to adjust with Dwight Howard, and over-reliance on Kemba, it wasn't surprising that Charlotte blew late leads in games against Chicago and Cleveland. The Hornets picked up a much-needed win against the Clippers in a Clifford-esque game.Spencer, Richie, and Brian also spend some time talking about what Zeller and Carter-Williams bring to this team. It's fitting that, on the 44th episode, that a discussion about Frank Kaminsky ensues.Listen to the Buzz Beat on iTunesListen to the Almighty Baller Network on iTunesIntro/Outro Music: Mike StudSports Channel 8: North Carolina’s #1 Sports News NetworkBuzz Beat Patreon : If you can afford to, we’re asking for your help to keep this podcast sustainable and produce more frequent content.

Impressive Wins & A Deflating Loss

rdr3967@gmail.com (Blue Wire) — Sat, 4 Nov 2017 14:23:00 +0000

The originals, Spencer and Richie, record the 42nd episode of Buzz Beat. They recap the wins over Memphis and Milwaukee and the deflating loss to San Antonio. The conversation focuses on the grind-it-out nature that was the game in Memphis. Trailing most of the game, and playing on a back-to-back, Charlotte was still able to show resiliency on their comeback win. Wednesday's win over the Bucks was very un-Clifford-like. The Hornets' defense was not up to par but rookie Monk lit it up in the final period. Unfortunately, the Hornets luck ran out Friday night in San Antonio as they couldn't take advantage of the Leonard-less Spurs.Spener and Richie discuss the hot and cold nature of the bench, Monk's play, Lamb's impressive start to the season, and Dwight Howard's presence.Listen to the Buzz Beat on iTunesListen to the Almighty Baller Network on iTunesIntro/Outro Music: Mike StudIf you want your voice to be heard on the show, call our voicemail: (980) 999-0678Sports Channel 8: North Carolina’s #1 Sports News NetworkBuzz Beat Patreon : If you can afford to, we’re asking for your help to keep this podcast sustainable and produce more frequent content.

Spencer and Richie are joined by a fellow Almighty Baller-ite, Sean Derenthal. Sean hosts his own NBA Draft podcast on the network, Ode to Oden. We get a chance to pick his brain on several prospects in Charlotte's range but also some that may slip to us at 11.

Sean also give his take on four prospects that have been heavily rumored to Charlotte and their fit with the team.

True Free Agent Hoopers with Brett Hainline

rdr3967@gmail.com (Blue Wire) — Tue, 2 May 2017 02:42:00 +0000

With the recent news concerning the True Hoop Network, we thought it was appropriate to bring on founder of Queen City Hoops, the Charlotte Hornets True Hoop affiliate, Brett Hainline. He tells the story of how "QCH" came to be, how the site partnered with the True Hoop Network, and all the moves along the way. Richie and Spencer discuss the legacy of the True Hoop Network and then move onto free agency. The Buzz Beat crew has to dig deep as the Hornets really only have the MLE to work with. Names are passed around until both co-hosts settle on one player they feel is the best fit for that $8.4 million MLE.

Hornets’ Playoff Hopes Dashed

rdr3967@gmail.com (Blue Wire) — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 01:03:00 +0000

The Hornets are officially out of the playoffs with their loss to the Boston Celtics. Richie and Spencer breakdown the past three losses to the Wizards, Heat, and Celtics. They discuss the highlights of those games but focus mainly on what's been causing Charlotte issues — defending the three-point line. They question Clifford's inability or unwillingness to adjust on the fly. The crew also discuss some "On/Off Court" stats in reference to Batum, Kaminsky, Kemba, and Zeller. The combo of Batum and Kaminsky has turned out to be disappointing while the Kemba, Zeller combo has been great. The team's offense runs much smoother with those two on the court and they work the pick and roll game to near-perfection. Spencer throws out a name, one that could seem controversial, that he thinks should be in trade talks this offseason. The Buzz Beat co-hosts look to offseason and where their priorities should lie — the draft, free agency, or the trade market.

Richie, Spencer, and Max also discuss the potential matchup against the Celtics in the first round of playoffs and how Charlotte would fare. The episode wraps up with the Hornets' late game woes and what direction Rich Cho and company should go this offseason.

Whoopty Doo! Defensive Turnaround for the Hornets?

rdr3967@gmail.com (Blue Wire) — Sun, 22 Jan 2017 13:13:00 +0000

The Hornets are coming off two impressive and much-needed victories over Portland and Toronto. Spencer and Richie discuss the defense and how it has rebounded in the past several games. The Buzz Beat tandem also appreciate Kemba's amazing performance Frriday night in the Spectrum Center and agree that he thoroughly outplayed Lowry.

They also acknowledge Marvin's recent improvement and his presence as a defensive anchor. Lastly, they discuss the most "tradeable" player on the team and Richie shares his hate for the trade machine.
