Hornets Vs Lakers Game Thread

[Zaximus]

He's not being paid to score. He's being paid to do a little bit of everything. There are no pure shooters in that starting five save for Al, who has to take up space.

 

That's a detriment to the starting five, but it's not what is going to doom them. They had the same issues last year and made the playoffs with less talent and depth. Heck, they looked to be in control of the first half.

 

The jet lag and overtime caught up with them in the second half. Also, credit the Lakers for throwing a zone look that the Hornets had not seen this year which seemed to turn the game in their favor. Also, they kept Al in check.

 

Yes, he is, at least more than 6 points he is.  No one expects 20 a game, but you have to be around 15ppg-20ppg, at least 14 something like last season.  He can't hit any shot right now, hopefully he turns it around.

I guess Charles Barkley's hunger strike is officially over. Thank God.

I do think the odds were against us and the Lakers were due for a win after all it it's hard to loose 6 games in a row.
