GT: Hornets @ Knicks Wed Apr 6 7:30PM EST

Clifford was definitely making it a point to run "25" (al 'screens' then sort of iverson cuts to the box for a post up) like 8 times in a row. What the hell is that all about? I know he was cooking but that's not a playoff offense.

That was our entire offense 2 years ago when Jefferson was on fire for the 2nd half of the season. But, yeah, not really an offense you can expect to produce high end results consistently.

It's not that bad for a 2nd unit offense tho. Especially if Al keeps finding Lin cutting or he keeps making nice passes to Hawes etc.

When will we see Kemba and Lin play well at the same time? They are like Yin and Yang, lol.

Let's hope in the postseason.

Nice win, glad we got it, but why is that we can't seem to jump out to a quick 10+ point lead early in the 1st and then either maintain or grow it for the entire game against teams lately?

There were some "it's too close" moments in this game.

Too many of them for liking.

kemba and lin still couldnt play well at same game...meh..........

I don't think Lin played poorly. He didn't score much, but he ran the offense well in the 4Q. Lin has a bad elbow, probably shouldn't have played but Lin and Batum don't miss games at the same time.

[BigSlam]

Lamb is broken. Mentally broken, confidence broken, game is broken.

Larry Brown/DJ Augustin broken?

Or not quite THAT badly broken?

He's thinking he has to make a play all the time. Then he holds on to the ball too much on the offense instead of quickly moving the ball. On the defense he just loses his man especially when he is switched off his man during transitions because he is slow getting back. He looks like he's not sure where to be on defense and ends up being in no man's land the whole time.

[ChokeFasncists]

Wasn't there a Derrick Williams wide open dunk under the basket that looked like it might have been Lamb's mistake once again?

[13th Man]

Very nice rebound game for Kemba as expected. As long as we pick up the wins that we should and head into the playoffs healthy that's all that matters.

A little bit worried about Lamb, he needs to get into rhythm come playoff time, what happened to the Lamb that was playing with a surge of confidence before he got signed?

[LofJ]

Clifford and Kemba need to have a pep talk with Lamb. We need him to turn things around before the playoffs start.

He got injured in January and fell out of favor with Clifford. He lost all rope and mpg when Lee, a better player atm, was acquired. his defensive errors are overstated , lately he's been sharing the floor with two of possibly the worst pnr defenders in the league (al, hawes). Oh and Clifford has been playing him at sf since January too, go guard 6'8 250 Morris Jeremy!

[LofJ]

Lamb would perform much better if he had fewer defensive responsibilities, I definitely agree with that. It's one of the reasons why I want to add a defensive big, in addition to Zeller, so much. If we add a guy like that alongside MKG and hopefully another good wing defender like Prince our defense will be top 3 in the league. And guys like Lamb will be able to focus more on scoring.
