If Kemba don’t play and they lose I think that’ll be the start of me finding a new hobby to take up during the games. I might just start going to the gym around that time, whip myself into good shape for the next few months.

We need Ben Gordon toughness. Although he is not currently living life like a Ben nore a Benjamin. More like a B.G. or just a G.

TOR is a good squad, we could easily lose to them when fully healthy. Don't really get this.

I was at that game with Kemba's buzzer beater. one of my favorite in-person NBA moments ever.

sadly work is preventing me from being there tonight, but here's a little something I got the last game I went to. never forget how this feels.

The only thing to get is that I’m tired of seeing us lose. When we lose it usually put a damper on my night. I could be doing other things than staying heavily invested in this team’s success when they’ve been unsuccessful more often than not.

You don’t get tired of making excuses and reasoning for this team? They are constructed as a win-now team, not a “I hope we make the playoffs” team. Somebody isn’t doing their job right.

Kemba is out. This is as bad as the Warriors missing Curry according to ORTG. How will we score 80 points today

Stone is probable, so we have that to look forward to...

Somebody check to see if Stone and Kemba share same agent. That would explain a lot.

the hornets starting pg, sg, sf and c have combined for 9 3pters so far this season. 4 by MCW and 5 by Batum, 0s for MKG and Dwight.

marvin has 31 and he better be on fire.

The Schwarzschild Radius lineup.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

This board is going to explode when Cliff plays Stone over Monk.

Like Yosemiteben said, Toronto is a good squad, I would have come in expecting a loss to start with so it's not the end of the world but it does crush any chance we had to lose Kemba. I really hope he can get back for the Miami game, which should be very winnable.

Lol why? I am interested in seeing zeller and Dwight play together other than that that lineup will get destroyed.

I would start Lamb and have Batum bring the ball up.

We all know how this is gonna go though. We start MCW, Batum, MKG, Marvin, and Dwight, and are down 17-6 after the first 4 minutes

I guess I should have used green font.

wasn't being serious... was making a joke about a lineup that would be awful from 3pt line

Better plan on feeding Dwight every possession. There won't be any other ways for us to score. This is the type of game where I'm willing to let Monk fire away because we don't have anyone who is an offensive threat on the court tonight. Goes to show you why this team struggles in general. Offensively, we are way too dependent on one guy. Hopefully he's able to go against Miami.

Start Lamb in Kemba’s place and let Batum run PG.
