We have a glaring hole at the SF position.

Yeah but we all thought it would be an upgrade having MKG back. Hasn't worked out that way.

you know how you can tell Kemba is really not feeling well? He had Lyles guarding him on isolation and he passed. What?

I give him slack for hardly playing in 2 years. But its gettint very worrisome. Is he even a slightly abovr average NBA player at this point?

Not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if Charlotte has told MKG to not go as hard as he normally would. With the past injuries, they can ill afford him to go down again this season. Not trying to excuse his play, but it would make sense for him to save himself for the playoffs.

The bigger question is would you draft a guy number 2 overall who has crazy defensive upside but zero offense and a broken jumper. I wanted Drummond but what do I know.

He's made Hayward work, and a few nice rim runs. I'm surprised he seems to be getting singled out, I've been more worried about Kemba. I'd also like to see Batum be more aggressive, he's shot well, needs to force the issue more.

He's just too damn inconsistent. The gameflow and matchup have to fall just right for MKG to really have a role on offense. Defensively, he's just not a lockdown guy this year, whether it's scheme, teammates, changes in league offenses, or just a decline in his skills (probably not that one).

Kemba and Batum have perfected the James harden patented gained foul call on three point attempt move

Kemba gets a pass for being sick.

My comments on MKG are more genereal speaking, not so much a reaction to just this game. He's just been so hit or miss this year.

Kemba passes GDub for #2 all time scoring for the Hornets. Now lets win this!

These Utah hoops are quite generous. Hitting from everywhere.
