Buzz Beat: A Charlotte Hornets Pod

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. In both games, Charlotte's defense has stepped up and propelled them to back to back wins. This was no more evident in MKG's performance on mid-range master, DeRozan. 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.  Listen to the Buzz Beat Podcast on iTunes Listen to the Almighty Baller Podcast Network on iTunes Or listen to shows on the Almighty Baller Podcast network on AlmightyBaller.com
