On top of the news
It's been a tough season for Hornets fans this year and I truly appreciate the continued content that Buzz Beat provides when it would be so easy to just forget and/or drop Hornets coverage like most of the national media has. I also appreciate the insight from the Buzz Beat crew and am looking forward to their continued coverage of our New Hornets team moving forward. Thank You and keep on keeping on.
