We are looking great right now. Is this a dream with a happy ending of making the playoffs? What do you think?

If the Hornets win tonight in Detroit to run the streak to 10 are they the prohibitive favorites to win the title? Representing for Conner 🏀 and the rest of the long suffering Hornets fans. 😂

I've loved seeing this from the Hornets, who disappointed me last season when I thought they may be a play-in caliber team.

I think we're still a little ways off from them winning a playoff series or anything, but they absolutely look like a better team right now than the 8th or 9th seeds in the East (Miami and Atlanta) -- or the 7th-seeded Magic, for that matter. The playoff drought could definitely end this spring and they could be a feisty opponent against one of those top seeds.

What does a Mitch extension look like?

Great question. Steven Adams, who is a very similar player to Robinson in terms of skill set, got three and $39MM last summer. He's also almost five years older than Robinson and was coming off a major injury that cost him all of 2023/24 and limited him in '24/25.

Robinson has his own injury history to be wary of, but Adams' deal seems like it should be the absolute floor for him, with the potential to go several million per year higher.

Thanks for all the questions today, guys! I'll be back next Monday afternoon to do this again. Have a great week.
