@roddystr Wait … “steal” the Celtics game? Lady, did you not see the cold-assed butt whuppin we just put on dem up in da Garden recently? Like 2 weeks ago. It was merciless and brutal. And Tatum would not have made much of difference imho

Charlotte Hornets have a healthy Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics lined up back to back. Doesn't look like Coby White or Grant Williams will sit either of those games. Absolutely have to beat the 76ers and try to steal the Celtics game. Getting 6th won't be easy but doable

@NBA_NewYork Josh Hart put his finger on da problem for the rest of da League: “they played like they were shot out of a cannon”. The “pace” shook dem up and blew’em away. Same deal for teams playing the young Spurs. Young teams “wit skills” gonna dominate. Just sayin’

"I've never heard a New York game like this…" "Hornets fans drowned out the Knicks fans" –– Brandon Miller & Charles Lee as Hugo the Hornet hands tissues to Knicks fans

@HoopSector It’s in the bag: ELEVEN 1st Round picks in the next 7 drafts. 11!!! Read that again. Get used to it NBA fans. Charlotte is gonna have to be dealt wit

They have the potential to be the greatest offence the NBA has ever seen Jeff Peterson has to do everything to build around these three and keep them in Charlotte for a VERY long time

@John_Fanta Get used to Charlotte and San Antonio kickin butt; they’re set up for the future BigTime

A parting shot from Buzz City. The Charlotte Hornets are as good a story as any in the NBA right now.

@NBA_NewYork There are two emerging champions in da League. Check it out: The future of the NBA runs through San Antonio in the West and Charlotte in the East. The Hornets themselves are holding ELEVEN first round picks over the next 7 drafts. Get used to it.

"They played like they were shot out of a cannon…pushing that pace…Melo…Kon…B Miller…they're going…we're playing a step slow" –– Josh Hart in Charlotte after Knicks lose 114-103

@SnapshotKyle Knicks actually impressed me during the first half, even though Brunson plays like he’s the only guy on the court that can shoot. But they have nice size. As for the Hornets, Jeff’s 11 first round picks in the next 7 drafts will put them in our rear view mirror - BigTime

LaMelo Ball tonight:

@NBADracos Yo clueless NBA fans: it ain’t even close. Charle Lee, of course. The Hornets won 19 games last season. And for those paying attention this young squad is dangerously close to takin ovah. Charles Lee by a mile

Who is your COTY?

@IsoRadss Say what?

Why are the Hornets favored? The Knicks are not losing this game 😂

@HornetsReddit Jacking too many bricks from beyond da arc. Anyway, good win vs a decent Knicks team. Great season anyway you cut it (vs 19 wins all last season). Hornets fans remember this: Jeff is holding 11 (ELEVEN!!) first round picks over the next 7 drafts. Future looks bright

🎙️ Miles Bridges on where the Hornets have the edge: "I feel like our offense is pretty good. So, you know, if we focus on defense, we'll be good."

@PanthersOnTap “KC” (with a mix of Metchie) gives the team deep threats we haven’t seen since Steve Smith - a long long time ago

Which group would you rather have for Bryce Young? A.) Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker & Kenyon Sadiq B.) Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker & KC Concepcion

BREAKING: Zach Dell (@ZachBDell) CEO of Base Power says " Chinese models are going to overtake domestic models in usage." "I spend a lot of my time thinking about energy, the country, & our ability to consume, generate, store, sell electricity. And I spend a lot of time thinking about China & their ability to produce & consume electricity. One thing that has been interesting to me is Chinese tokens & the rate at which they're being generated & the cost. My hot take is that Chinese models are going to overtake domestic models in terms of usage. If you look at platforms like OpenRouter & other online platforms where you can track model usage, I think the Chinese are gonna continue investing incredibly heavily in energy production. They're going to capture the Watt flop or the Watt token spread by turning a lot of that energy into compute. And that's gonna drive massive amount of usage in Chinese models, which just means we have to go faster. The US energy infrastructure industry has to go faster. We have to build power faster. We have to develop compute infrastructure faster. We must accelerate."

@roddystr Whatchu mean 4, gurl? FIVE!!

Charlotte Hornets next 5 is the difference between the 10th seed and the 7th seed. New York Knicks Philadelphia 76ers Boston Celtics Brooklyn Nets Phoenix Suns Have to absolutely win 3 of these but they can win 4.

@DougBransonLOH If (big IF) Brandon Miller gets stronger during the offseason and therefore gets “to the rim and, yes, THE LINE way more, this offense will dominate da League. Moreover, Jeff is gonna damn sho’ bulk-up the 4and5 slots down low

The Charlotte Hornets offense is just as overwhelming as everyone talks about OKC's defense being. You cannot stop everything and the Hornets know it.

@BullTheoryio So why aren’t these thieves already pitchin dirt in orange jumpsuits

🚨 SILVER CRASHED NEARLY -50% IN 53 DAYS. And we may have found who caused it. Silver hit ATH $121.64 on January 29, 2026. Today it sits at $65, a 46% collapse, and 25% of that drop happened AFTER February 25, 2026. Why does that date matter? Meet Jane Street. They made $20.5 billion in revenue in 2024 with only 3,000 employees, more than Citibank and Bank of America who both have 200,000+ employees. They do not bet on markets going up or down. They bet on markets MOVING. 87% of their $662 billion portfolio is in options, which make money when prices swing hard and fast. In Q4 2025, Jane Street bought 20.67 million shares of SLV, the most liquid silver ETF in the world, up from just 41,100 shares the quarter before. That is a 500x increase while silver was rallying hard, and nobody knew. - January 29: Silver hits $121.64 ATH with everyone maximally long. - January 30: Silver collapses 30% in 30 hours, the worst precious metals crash since 1980, with CME raising margin requirements mid crash and cascading liquidations making it worse. - February 25: Jane Street's 13F filing becomes public and the world finds out they were the LARGEST holder of SLV the entire time, bigger than BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. Silver is now dowm another 25% after this disclosure. So Jane Street built a $1.3B secret position while silver rallied, silver crashed 30% in 30 hours, the world found out they were the biggest holder only AFTER the crash, and silver dropped another 25% on top. 49% down total, sitting at $69 today. Here is what most people are missing. A 13F filing only shows long equity positions and does NOT show short positions, derivatives or the full options book, meaning Jane Street could have had a massive short bet on silver through options and nobody would know. Step 1: buy $1.3B of SLV and become the largest holder. Step 2: build a 10x larger options position betting on silver falling. Step 3: use that size to push the price down, ETF loses a little and options make 10x back. Step 4: nobody finds out until 45 days after quarter end when the crash is already done. This is not just a theory. There is documented proof Jane Street ran this EXACT playbook in India between 2023 and 2025. SEBI wrote a 105-page order, the largest fine in their history, and impounded $570 million from Jane Street. On Bank Nifty expiry days, Jane Street bought massive amounts of index stocks in the morning to push prices up while simultaneously building short options positions 7.3 times larger than their stock position. Then in the afternoon they sold everything, the index dropped and their puts printed money. On a single day they lost $7.5M on stocks and made $89M on options. The stock trade was just the cost of running the operation. SEBI found this across 18 expiry days and a whistleblower said it happened on 90 to 95% of all trading days. In crypto, the bankruptcy administrator of Terraform Labs filed an 83 page federal lawsuit against Jane Street alleging they used inside information to front-run the $40 billion Terra/LUNA collapse. When Terraform quietly withdrew $150 million from Curve Finance with zero public notice, a wallet linked to Jane Street pulled $85 million from the same pool within 10 minutes. A Jane Street employee had interned at Terraform and allegedly ran a private chat called "Bryce's Secret" with insiders as a back channel for non-public information, and Jane Street allegedly avoided $200M+ in losses. Blockchain forensics traced the wallet back to Jane Street through Coinbase records. Same pattern as India: get positioned ahead of the move, extract the profit, everyone else takes the loss. The physical silver backing SLV is held by JPMorgan, who paid $920 million in 2020 for manipulating precious metals markets, the largest CFTC sanction ever, after admitting their traders placed hundreds of thousands of fake orders in gold and silver futures for 8 straight years with their top spoofer receiving 2 years in prison. So the full picture: the silver backing the ETF is held by a bank convicted of 8 years of silver manipulation, and the largest holder of that ETF is a firm documented running a cash into derivatives manipulation scheme in India and facing a federal lawsuit for insider front running in crypto. Silver is down 46% and sitting at $65 today. None of this is proven in a US court and the macro explanations for the crash are real. But no regulator has asked the one question that matters: what was Jane Street's TOTAL net silver position on January 29 and 30, including the full options book and complete derivatives exposure? Because if the India playbook was running in silver, the $1.3B ETF stake was just the cost. The options position on the other side was the profit. And the 49% crash was not a crash. It was a payout.

@PeakRT_ Y’all are so funny …. just wakin up to Coby. Yeah Jeff pulled off the “steal” of the Century in da League. Plain as daylight

I can’t believe we got Coby White for so cheap man. He puts our team in a different tier

@malquiza8 Not a “tie”, bro: we beat the Magic 3-1

Orlando drops their sixth straight. The Hornets are currently in a three-way tie for eighth in the East.

@HornetsLead Get it together “Hornets Lead” : we beat the Magic silly 3 times (at least) and therefore jump them

Charlotte moves into 9th with Miami and Orlando losing on the evening. Just one game back of the 7 seed and two back of 6th. 👁️👁️

@AllAboutHornets Wait … pretty much ALL of y’all been sleepin on Sion - since draft night. Go watch the Duke film

Sion James continues to be an absolute find as a 2nd round rookie

@SnapshotKyle Wonder what Bam woulda done wit dat

This no look pass from LaMelo tho! Wish Moussa would have caught & finished this one 😮‍💨
