Another double double. Game didn’t get so ugly until Willy came in.

Willy is basically Big Al but with shooting instead of post skills. Whenever Cody comes back he and Biz should make a decent enough platoon at center, assuming Biz stays in the rotation.

Willy’s defense worse than Big Al’s by at least 10 NBA 2K defensive awareness points and his offense is at least 15 offensive awareness points less. Willy is a fat BJ Mullens with a less consistent shot.

I'm glad Charlotte reminded us that they suck

Yep, no hope with this team is valid. Nine out of ten games against quality teams equals a loss.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Willy's defense is Big Al's without the ability to occasionally swipe at the ball like an angry cat.

I was pretty impressed with Monk this game. You have to root for a guy that just brings his all every night. A couple plays seemed really boneheaded like attacking the rim with 3 tall Indiana defenders within a few feet, but that tenacity is going to be great once he gets experience.

I've liked what Lamb has done this year - but my God is he ever soft. He actively flinches from a 50/50 or contested ball.

Players like Kemba and MKG and Marv and Biz might have their detractors, but at LEAST they will stick their nose over the ball and fight to get it.

There was 3 or 4 times in last nights game alone where there was a contested or loose ball and Lamb physically recoiled from it.

It was embarrassing.

Looked like he has zero heart.

That game stunk but I had us down for the definite loss on the road when we played the night before. We really need to win in Memphis as a 3 game skid would be bad.
