I want to believe we should win but Bosh destroys us. Well, all 4s with range destroy us because its the blindspot in Cliff's defensive philosophy... but Bosh in particular.

Miami's offense has been struggling hard too. If they go off against us, gas up the tank.

You are giving up too early bro. I really want to see this team to clinch 1 playoff spot and I think it's a lil too late to start tanking :lol:

team hasn't handled one 'problem solved' matchup correctly for a full game in 2 years - and that was largely just having MKG guard whatever perimeter guy was currently torching us.

our team is smart-dumb, inconsistent, and regularly makes simple things look near impossible

I actually remember a home game I went to vividly last year, where we beat Miami like 82-78 or something like that and MKG guarded Bosh whole 4th quarter and locked him up I think bosh had like 15 points on 20 shots. Bosh is a top 5 isolation player in the nba, I just don't see him being able to ISO vs Mkg. If they want to completely change there offense and force feed bosh in the post because he can't get anything else going like they did LeBron last night, that's success.

Kemba Walker is good to go, he had his knee drained and feels much better. All signs point to him playing tomorrow night #Hornets.

I see Hornets as good as any team outside of GSW if they keep the ball moving.

Tomorrow night is Alonzo Mourning night. The franchise plans to honor Zo for his early years as a Hornet. He will be the 2nd player with such an honor, Dell Curry had his night earlier this year.

I have mixed feeling about this because
1. Zo did not leave on good terms
2. He was only here for 3 years (one of which he missed a quarter of the season)
3. He has made no effort since leaving to identify with the franchise and has been mostly invisible since the rebrand
4. There are so many more deserving players that deserve honor before Zo, first and foremost, Muggsy Bogues, followed by Larry Johnson and then David Wesley, maybe guys like Baron Davis, Jamal Mashburn, Glen Rice as well. Even former Bobcat Gerald Wallace deserves an honor night before Zo.

For once I agree with BBTB, but they are probably even more accepting of Zo than I am. I guess the fact that he wore a teal/purple combo at his HoF induction is a start.

lol at the side by sides, poor Bosh.

Bring in on, Spo. How's Dragic doing? Still struggling?

I'd rather MKG stay on Deng, who is on a roll lately. Marvin should be OK against Bosh.

Whiteside's back, his shot blocking ability would be a big problem.

Dragic's doing ALOT better lately. His shooting % are all going back up, wouldnt be a shock if he ends the season strong in that department. Miami's issue with him is that he's not providing max contract impact for the team. An excellent supporting player but for the money he's getting paid he should be doing more. Goes to show what system a player plays in makes a huge difference. PHO let their PGs do whatever they want, MIA needs to make sure their big dawgs are fed first and Dragic essentially gets the leftovers which affects his stats.

Are we going to have everyone back except Al?

Is it concerning that Kemba needed his knee drained? The MRI was negative. Is fluid buildup in the knee a normal thing that can occasionally happen due to normal wear and tear as opposed to actual structural damage or other issues? I'm not the most knowledgeable about injuries.

Is there any chance we will start to see a closing group of Kemba, Lin, Batum, MKG, Cody/Frank? I want to finally see Clifford close with his best five.
