GT: Hornets vs Jazz Mon Jan 18 2PM EST

Post #1 » by **fatlever** » Sun Jan 17, 2016 8:29 pm

Early start tomorrow for the annual MLK Day game. I don't think we have a good record in these games, despite always playing at home.

A few more losses and people will start rooting for us to lose rather than win, which is always sad.

Favors has a back strain

I'll be there. May be my last Hornets game for a long time, since I'm about to be relocated for work

Had a lot of stuff going on so missed the last couple games. Probably for the best.

Will try to tune in to this one.

Probably will happen if we go 0-3 this weekday stretch of vs. Utah, @ Oklahoma City, @ Orlando, while the 17, 18-team win teams of Milwaukee, Utah, Sacramento and Portland pick up a couple of Ws. That could drop us to the 8th place in the tankathon.

Not all that unlikely as well.

i never really root for us to lose when tanking, just that the other teams around us in the standings win.

i am interested to see how Trey Lyles plays......
hopefully PJ won't choke facing a blue devil...

Can't wait to see how Batum will play against Hayward.

utah is a well coached team, but just like hornets, they are fundamentally sound, but lack of creativity and free flow... they also got hit hard by injuries...

If only we could swap our roster for theirs. :lol:

If Gobert plays we stand no chance

Gobert is back, favors is not...
the hornets have to push the tempo, otherwise, it is hard to score against Utah in a slow tempo game

The only time we push any kind of tempo is in the 4th quarter

So who's out tomorrow morning?

BatumtheGlue · Post #15 » by **BatumtheGlue** » Mon Jan 18, 2016 3:29 pm

Just realized it will start at 2 am. I'm not gonna watch it for sure. Come on Nic, show us that you are much better than Hayward. Go Hornets!

I'll be tuning in. Some heavy travel has had me MIA for the last couple of months, but looking forward to joining the thread on this one. Gobert just had 18/18/5. Yikes. Zeller better put on his track shoes and try to keep that Frenchie in his rear view.

Lamb status? Troy and Lamb are the best 3 point shooters on the team. Who takes the most 3s? Is Kemba the next best 3 point shooter, followed by Nic? Is Lin the worst of the perimeter guys? Hope guys play to their strengths soon.

Assisted baskets, motion defense. Let's beat Utah at home. They are beatable and it is time to beat beatable teams even if they are very competitive.

Lamb is shooting 31% from three on the season, he's far from our second best three point shooter.

Kemba, Nic, and Marv have all been much better. Frank has too.

Weird start time. At least I'll be able to go home from work and watch it on-demand right away skipping all the breaks

Lamb is out today.
