Talk Trail Blazers vs. Hornets Second Half Here!

With the Charlotte Hornets coming into town to face the Trail Blazers with a 9-24 record, Portland fans might be justified asking, “O opponent, where is thy sting?” But the Hornets have recovered LaMelo Ball from the injury list and have won two of their last three outings. Between that and injuries to almost every good Blazers defender off the bench, the game might be tougher than you’d think. Either way, you can talk about it here in our Game Day Thread.
