Won't be able to watch this one, but go Cavs!

Not having a legit backup big man is without a doubt one of the biggest failures of this team's construction. It's as much of an issue as the shooting and it will cost this team in the playoffs.

As good as that win in miami was its pretty much negated by what looks to be a lifeless loss to the tanking hornets

I thought Mobley would be in line for a big offensive game... whoops.

Wow well wasn't expecting a comeback on this one. Hope I'm not jinxing it but what a 4th

I will take it. Do we get to 50 wins this season?

We shot 25% from three and the opponent shot 50% from three and we won by 8. I'm down. (part of this to me is probs JB playing an uber non-space friendly line-up. i understand Wade's reduced minutes, but the DNPs feel excessive).

Didn't get to watch, but saw we down big going into the 4th and forced it out against a mediocre squad. I'll take it. Also, saw EMo had a bad offensive game, but really showed up for clutchtime defense.

I watched it replayed just now.

They managed to impose his rhythm and we're not good if we must run that much.

The Hornets were short-handed and on a back to back. The game plan was apparently to wear them down, fortunately it took hold in time.

I think JBB's concession to spacing was letting Caris finish the game. We probably lose if Garland didn't tough it out.

And something interesting about Robin's minutes is he was -9 overall in his 9 minutes, but it looks like he was +1 in the 6 1/2 ,minutes he shared the floor with DG.

How is leaving LeVert in a concession to spacing? Other teams barely guard him our there.

Because he could have come back with Stevens....
