EP 169: The 2026 Horney Awards Show

one of the most fun Hornets seasons we’ve ever had.

We open with a play-in preview against the Miami Heat. Miami took the season series 3-1, has the more proven playoff infrastructure, and has broken Hornets fans’ hearts before. But does Charlotte have the better roster this time around? And with both of us heading to the game, how are we feeling about the matchup?

Then, we give out awards for MVP, Most Improved, Best Newcomer, Most Heartbreaking, Best Moment, Love of the Week, and Heartbreak of the Week.

We talk LaMelo Ball’s superstar season, Brandon Miller’s efficiency jump, Moussa Diabate’s impact, Kalk’s ridiculous finishing and shot blocking, Kon Kneuppel’s huge year despite his recent shooting slump, and why Tre Mann and Tidjane Salaün left us feeling the most conflicted.

New episodes every Wednesday.
