Think it's clear that Hibbert is getting moved, he's averaging like 15 MPG even with Cody out. If he's not going to help against an aggressive big like Cousins, he's not worth keeping around. 12 minutes tonight signals the end of the Hibbert experiment.

I still think it was worth it if we couldn't sign a top tier FA C this summer, which I think we tried to do (thus the Woj talk about moving Lamb and Hawes for space).

Is this the right game to complain about Batum? 5 TOs is annoying but 19 points on 6-11 FG and 3-6 from 3 with 7 assists is pretty ok, right?

I mean, I look at Belinelli, Marv and Frank going 5-23 from 3 and seems like that's the issue. At least Frank got some assists, Marv and Belinelli seem to have bombed tonight.

Either mortgage the farm just to outbid for Noel or trade away the vets and play for next year. I'm sure Philly would like Marvin and Belinelli for their playoff push

I really thought Hornets would win last 2 then lose 3 on west coast trip. Now we have a good chance to drop to 5 under the 500 mark after next 3.

Fark Noel, I don't see him making much of a difference.

I think noel would make a huge difference when cody is out but they cant really play together unless cody can hit the 3

Going to be a great draft. Either go all out on this team or go for a top 8 pick

What happened to the team that played so hard last year after MKG went down? Is Hibbert/Sessions that much of a drag to the team or is it the absence of Lin?

problem is people, maybe even mgmt, look at stats as if they're plug-n-play. simply not true
even if stats were similar no way Hib and Sesh were going to match Lin and Lee heart and competitiveness. those guys are fighters
everybody in the nba has talent, what sets apart the winners? hair on fire, man

Frank airballing that 3, not surprising, but we can't put this loss on Frank. Kemba should be taking the last shot, he also had other options on that play, such as a cutting Batum. Regardless, we can't rely on a game winning 3 at the buzzer to win games at home vs teams below .500. This game was lost because we can't get stops when it counts. It's happened over and over all season. I love Marvin's heart and he's a hell of a defender, but he has no chance vs Cousins. That's not his fault, but its just the reality of the roster, especially with Cody out. We have 3 other 7-footers on the roster and none of them can hack it or be trusted right now.

Also, Kemba has scored 2 pts in the last two 4th Qs, a cheap 2 points at the very end of the Knicks game.

What? This draft is horrible. You want to take the dude from Arizona at 5 or 7? Hell no frank is way better than him?? Better yet you want Fox in the top 10?? **** NO

disappointed to see Cauley-Stein get minutes and play well. he was my #1 target I hoped we could steal this trade season; think he'd be a terrific 2nd Center fit interchangeable with Cody

I really hope he did get to meet Dell after the game to poke some fun back at him for saying that Hornets know how to use Marco. Of course he had to go 1-7 from three after that.
