we are all going to be very happy with how we played or we're going to give up 150 on 3s alone

We like to give up a lot of 3 pointers. Do the Rockets take those?

They only shot 15 3 pointers against us last time we played. Wait, no... Sorry, that was how many 3 pointers their starting power forward shot. My mistake. As a team they shot 57.

Stick MKG on Harden and pray for the best. That's about all we can do.

Batum has been officially upgraded to probable according to the RotoWire app.

I'm surprised. I didn't think we'd see him until after Christmas after his comments on Sunday, tbh.

Batum needs to come off the bench until he is healthy. Silas needs to grow some balls on this subject, unlike his boss was able to do.

What's was his comments?


His elbow has really bothered him since he returned three weeks ago and that he's "always" in pain and "not even close to 100 percent."

That is from the yahoo fantasy app, sorry I don't know how to post screenshots or pictures in the Tapatalk app.

I figured Batum was done for a while after seeing those quotes. Bizarre situation.

Batum is the tank commander. Selfish of him to play when he’s not all there and hurting the team like he is. Same thing he did in the playoffs when we should’ve beat Miami in Game 6 at Charlotte.

So I'm a Hornets fan and we are basically the most frustrating franchise ever. When I saw y'alls box score tonight i wildly exclaimed "MY GOD" and immediately came to this board just to read the game thread... i read through it sorta pretending i was a wizards fan living and dying by this game... it made me feel right at home...

Is there something wrong with me? I don't cut myself or anything

You need to stay on this board posting with us. When Meeks clangs a shot, just squint and imagine it’s MKG. When Kief gives no effort, just close your eyes and dream about Howard not giving a flying fig.

Stay. Commiserate with us. We’re snarky but friendly.

This sounds fun. Who is your designated "Take the ball out of the net after your man scores on you" that looks like Frank Kaminsky?

Also, do you have anyone on your team who throws the ball to the girl in the first row on PNR possessions that speaks French?

Uncanny.

Think about the other ‘coincidences.’ Exec of the year Michael Jordan.

Marion Barry = Jesse Helms.

I could go on and on Brother.

Because he's an idiot. I don't say that lightly either. Likely he "feels OK" and will continue to do so ... until he actually plays again.

He's starting because Silas can't afford to not start the highest paid players on the team.

A smart coach would pull a Kerr and bring Batum off the bench in a Iguodala role as a versatile veteran distributor and let Lamb start as the young gun that’ll build confidence as a starter in the Harrison Barnes role.
