On kaminsky....

Everything said last night about him was said about McDermott last season and look at Doug now. Frank has skill, even when he drove into the post those few times, he showed off decent post moves against two really good NBA defenders and the balls rimmed in and out. If anything he should get more chances in the post like that.

Doug lets it fly when he's even a few inches open on the 3 PT arc. Frank should learn to do the same. He's 7 foot tall so he won't get blocked often.

I hope that our players play well and put us back to 500

This will be a fun game, Portland's bigs are almost as soft as Charlotte's and both teams like to run and gun.

Cody playing? Otherwise, let the canonball fly, Tank!

I think Frank is 4-for-17 on 2pt shots so far. He has to find ways to score efficiently inside the 3pt line, or else he's just a 3pt specialist.

Our center production has been so bad that I've been wanting to see more Psycho T. I'm legit worried about the direction this season is going solely on that.

Vonleh has been useless this season, but I fully expect him to hit at least three wide open jumpers against Al/Hawes.

good luck charm.

and I don't care that this is pro-Blazers. they have the best rap videos ever and I couldn't resist the urge of posting one. if there needs to be a Hornets-themed spin on this I can just pretend that I'm posting this to express how Porter/Drexler/Kersey/Buck Williams/Uncle Cliffy would wipe the floor with this current team.

This is a big game for Charlotte. Winning games versus middle tier opponents is a must if there is any chance of getting into the top 8 of the East. It's also about time for Frank the Tank to start dropping some buckets.

I have a good feeling about this game for some reason. Think we get to see plenty of Vonleh for the right reasons.

happened the same at the Garden, where Ajinca and Seraphin are playing.

I'm wondering whether this applies to all arenas or just the ones where French players are present.

The anthem, the tragedy overseas, and playing his old team will combine to give Batum all sorts of feels this game.

To me, this is our first real test game. If we have playoff aspirations, this is the type of team we should beat - especially at home.

oh come on

we have had the second toughest SOS in the entire league and are 4-5 with winnable games while pushing out a roster that won't have a single all-star. we've been tested more than any other team in the NBA.

anyways... i fully expect kemba to get demolished by dame and for CJ to find every single crack in our defense

and maybe henderson or vonleh go off on us because we're still charlotte basketball and that's what we deserve for angering the basketball gods

This is definitely not a gimmie. Portlands back court is no joke with Lillard and McCollum. Aminu has been solid this year as well.
