good old lolcats vs timbertrolls. note the early start

Everything I see has the game at 7. Where are u seeing an early start?

Also confused about the listed 4PM start. Everything online says 7PM. How cruel would it be to make the Wolves play at 4PM on 2nd night of B2B.

JDR, I changed the thread title to show 7PM start.

espn says 4? or am i going loopy?

Worried about this one. Will be physical game like last night hope it doesn't turn out as ugly of a game tho. Kemba always seems to do well against these guys I remember a game winner in like 2012 that I was fortunate enough to watch live.

I'm seeing 7pm here on ESPN. My vote is loopy.

2 major issues to solve:

Defending the 3 pt line - our defense can not continue to rely on other teams to miss their shots; that worked against MIL & DAL; against teams that can shoot, not so much; Cliff need to figure it out now

(Lamar called the team out on this issue here: http://www.atthehive.com/2016/11/30/13791928/game-trend-charlotte-hornets-continue-to-give-up-threes-in-schedule-loss)


Make the damn foul shots - they're called "Free" throws for a reason!

Thanks for posting that! Cheers!

And, oh yeah, the foul shots have got on my nerves a bit. Besides MKG, the team isn't really fielding any mediocre free throw shooter. And even with him it's not like you're dealing with a 50, 60% shooter who you don't trust.

Being at 74.1% and in the 25th place in the league seems way too low.

We're 25th in free throw shooting? That's embarrassing. It's not like we have a Biyombo dragging the percentages down.

Keys to the Game

+ Frank's defense on Towns
+ FT shooting
+ Batum bringing it on defense from the tip

Dont expect a Wolves 3rd Q meltdown this time

Hornets have won 6 straight vs Wolves.

All our starters except for Cody have a beard.

Wonder if Hayseed could even grow a beard??

Kemba starting to find Cody on the P&R is a promising sight.

(Even though the pass from Kemba was not a good one).

Now THAT'S a nice pump fake Frank.

Get 'Em flying by when they are coming at you.

I wonder how all of those general board people that's thought Rubio was significantly better than Kemba think about that now.

I'm loving our effort so far.
