That's worse than our 7-win team pretty easily.

We may need to bring Kemba out of retirement as this rate.

7 guys on the injury report including 6 of the top 8 players on the team

Some folks around here would still say everything is fine, weather the storm

What exactly is the alternative?

We're not replacing 6 out of our top 8 guys, so why give up assets in the face of so many injuries?

Spent really good money lower level center court for Saturdays game and he probably won't be playing. Beyond pissed off.

Lol in exactly the same situation

Telling myself that maybe the 4 games in 6 days was too much and maybe they just want to rest him and he'll be back online Saturday

Well not quiet center court but I'm in 106 I think row p. Banging ass seats. Lol I just hope its a precautionary thing. If it's not if I waited 48 hours till tomorrow I could have probably got damn near Courtside seats for 30 bucks

Curious what would you suggest we do? Not saying you're wrong even though I disagree with it. But what are some random moves you'd like to see up make without giving up a first or future first rounders

What’s the point of listing your guy out the day before versus just listing them versus listing them as doubtful or questionable until pregame warmups. Seems like you’d want to have them waste as much time and effort scheming on Melo defense as possible. Always wondered

This is the first game I'll be attending in many years (I'm currently in NC to visit family for Thanksgiving) and everyone is out Such is the life of a Hornets fan.

Again, what's the alternative?

When we have so many injured players, what trade is going to make a difference?

I give us a 0.000001% chance of winning this with all the injuries.

It’s almost the kind of miracle game the basketball gods give us just so we have to read crappy GB Melo takes for the next month. Not allowed to have anything

It’s just really hard to theorycraft a path to victory lol

Gulp

I think this team can be pretty competitive if they ever get everyone healthy and Lee gets them playing with a real identity. I'm cool with them racking up as many losses as possible now so that if they start winning later in the season they won't be at risk of losing their pick.

Its definitely still concerning for their long term plans that so many players keep getting injured.

TJ is making me very happy.

Need TJ to hit a couple 3s in a row so he can go into hulkamania mode.
