We don’t have anybody else...I’m wondering if it’s our scheme...we play too much zone...but that may be because we can’t guard anybody man to man

in any case, a much needed win...play them again tomorrow

Hypothetical trade time:

Hornets get: Myles Turner

Pacers get:  Cody Zeller, Graham and Charlotte first round pick next year

Any chance in hell that works?

The money works out, so the trade works under NBA cap rules.

Indiana gets cap relief in the form of Zeller's expiring and a young guard that can be a microwave scorer off the bench.  Hornets get a competent big man who can provide some rim protection and stretch the floor a bit (albeit on an inconsistent basis).  I think it's a win-win. Only question I'd have is whether the 1st round is too much for Charlotte to give up.  I'd try to do it with a 2nd rounder.  If the Pacers insist, make sure you've got good protection on the pick--lottery protected next year, top 10 the year after, etc.

Graham and a 1st?...I don’t know...how about monk instead

Orlando shot almost 45% from 3 last night.  We need to do better than that tonight.  Really would love to see the crispy passing and multiple guys hitting from outside like we did in our short winning streak.

Gordon on fire tonight

Hornets had a 30-15 lead with a minute to go in the first, but lead  30-19 after 1.  Hornets shooting 43% from the floor, and 36% from 3.

Orlando shooting 26% from the floor and 27 % from 3.

 

Playing with energy and charisma again, fun to watch.

Melo is not as good at off guard...he needs to ru; the point when he is in

[HoopKing20]

Borrego was very late calling that time out.

[Captain Morgan]

well that big lead sure evaporated fast.  

[HoopKing20]

A lot of melo's turnovers are careless above the free throw line or close to it.  Cannot have that.

[HoopKing20]

Rozier really has a lack of effort on the defensive end. Hayward will need to score 40 this half.

[Scott12345]

I think PJ decided not to play tonight 

having he and biz on the court together is brutal

[Scott12345]

Cole Anthony is a hothead....one of the reasons he was a lousy leader for the heels last year
