- The Spurs are on the 2nd half of a back-to-back after losing to the Warriors last night. They will be focused, as always - but a bit tired.
- This will be the 1st game of a 4 game road trip (Spurs, Timberwolves, Knicks, Celtics).
- MCW could be available to play (but per Cliff - only in case of emergency injury).
- MKG left game early with illness. Should be back tonight but something to watch for.

This will be an interesting one... and something has got to give.

Hornets are playing great ball right now and the Spurs are on a 4 game losing streak. Pop HAS NEVER lost 5 games in a row.

The good news is that there is a chance, the Spurs had a pretty late game last night and their big name players played big minutes.

Based on minutes played, the Hornets top 10 players on paper look better than the Spurs top 10 players, I believe this game will 100% come down to coaching. If Clifford can keep it together the Hornets stronger roster should be able to get the win.

Top 10 Player's Based Off Minutes Played

Hornets: Walker, Howard, Lamb, Kaminsky, Williams, Bacon, Monk, Zeller, Graham, Kidd-Gilchrist

Spurs: Aldridge, Green, Anderson, Gasol, Murray, Mills, Gay, Ginobli, Lauvergne, Paul

It's time to find out what this team is made

This is a fun team to watch! With all the poo happening in the NFL politics wise, I’m really enjoying this refreshing start to the NBA season. Much more entertaining IMO. Let’s go Hornets!!!

Agreed.  I do not care about the NFL politics-wise, that is a red herring, but the sport is boring to me anymore.

This team really excites me though in a way I have not cared about NBA in almost twenty years

    • Just take less value for a trade back this year. 'But the trade value chart'... just doesn't matter when an extra 2nd should be enough to move back this year given the situation. I would take an extra 2nd over any player that could potentially be there at 8 and it's not close. Let the media bitch about it, just doesn’t matter if we walk away with an edge, FS and WR in  the first 2 rounds given how close all of that talent is when looking at it big picture. Fug the value chart and just give me a decent additional 2nd for the win. All it takes is someone falling in love with Sanders or the RB or whatever. If there was more talent in this draft then that would be a terrible idea but turning down a trade because the value was less than other years when the tellent is obviously less at the top of this draft would just show how poorly the people in charge understand this class and it's weaknesses. It would be like not finding a slot WR or RB later, just dumb IMO.
    • I get a sense they are weighing defense along w/ BPA. Whoever the staff likes between Mykel/Ez is my sense here. I would also throw in Harmon but our FAs along with Brown/Robinson make it a tough fit.  Trade downs may be unlikely in our spot so taking that out per request, Membou could be BPA, but gut says we go DBPA. Positional value is there, upside is there, Less anxious about them vs Shemar. I don’t think there’s offensive skill guys worth it - maybe Golden. There’s no ILBs, no safeties worth it, Will Johnson - injuries, Barron - is he just a NB/FS?  It’s Mykel season.
    • I said Warren but I totally could live with this too. BPA, and I don't think it's Williams or Shemar or any other defensive player in this scenario.
