GDT: Charlotte Hornets (6-15) @ Memphis Grizzlies (17-4)

Tip off: 8 PM EST

 

Past Results:

Memphis - 71

Charlotte - 69

 

Last time these teams met, it was an ugly game.  With it being the Hornets second game of the year, both teams came out and shot 36% from the field.  There were a total of 39 TO between the two teams, the Hornets having 20 of those.

 

Since that game, both teams have gone in different directions.  Memphis is sitting pretty near the top of the West while Charlotte is busy playing catch up, but two straight wins and more practices is giving this team more confidence.

 

With the return of MKG, I think this game will be closer than it would've been a week ago.

Looking forward to a hard fought game.  Hornets seem to be flowing better offensively, and hopefully the win on Wednesday night, one of the more complete games from the team, will carry into tonights game.

Memphis is tough at home and inexplicably we match up well with them. I don't expect a victory but this one should be close as long as they continue to build on the streak.

The Nets have the Sixers tonight so a win would be crucial to stay close to them.

If we don't hit the 3's tonight we are going to get killed. It will take our A game to pull this one out.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

We are going to get our tails kicked.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Sooo... are we gonna get a call or...

When have we ever hit 3s? That's not our game. We win ugly with defense and physicality.

Did the referees not show up for the game?

Kemba needs to learn angles better..shooting well so far but two baaad passes this game.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

This is some terrible officiating... our guys are getting mauled.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Kemba going for 40.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Kemba the scoring the machine tonight!
