Graham has to be hiding an injuy I can't believe he has gotten this bad either way his mins need to be cut and start Melo and giving Monk some playing time off the bench.

we beat the good teams and lose to the bad team so if that pattern holds up we will win the next 2 in Philly so thats something to look forward to.

I been watching the Hornets and thinking...this guy is straight garbage. Frankly, just looking at the numbers last year he wasn't all that good. He didn't even shoot 40% on 2pt shots. Looks to me like he was one of those guys on a bad team who was allowed to do whatever he wanted more than that he's ailing now. He always seems out of control taking stupid idiotic shots to me.

He was clutch as hell last season. Can't compare his play this season to last season, night and day difference.

yeah, he looks way different.... his activity on the court, decisiveness, etc is completely off
i feel like i can count honest closeouts by him on one hand too

he's really bounced back and responded well to a physical game too
Ball and Biz! Seemed like they are the only two who had any idea at all of what to do - which is bizarre.
One of the better games I've seen from Biz. Lamelo brings an energy that seems to ignite the team. I can't believe how Devonte' is playing. I think it's mostly mental he's much better than this.

This is why I love Biz. He doesn’t have the talent of a Towns or an Embiid but he works so hard and always puts in maximum effort, so he often has a positive impact to the team. So glad we got him as our vet min big.

Memphis played about as much of an old school game as you can get last night. That'll happen maybe a dozen times in a season. Doesn't get much better than that for a guy like Biz

Sure, but even with that he still has to make the catches and still make the finishes and still make the correct reads and still play with impact, energy and effectiveness etc - all things he did really well IMO.
