Gonna be hard. This teams defense is legit. Cynically speaking, I think all their length is gonna bug the hell out of Lamelo, and his 30+ streak ends this game with a ugly shooting split.

Would be pretty pumped if they defy expectations though. Beating Boston and Orlando in the same week would make me think we're truly back.

on the flip side, they're one of the only teams behind us in 3-point shooting (both makes and %), so this will be one of the few times where Clifford's defensive scheme actually makes sense. Could see this game being our first time holding a team under 110

If your 3pt shooting isn't very good then playing the Hornets will put you back on track lol

The Magic fired Clifford and gave the job to a longtime NBA Assistant with no previous head coaching experience
The Hornets hired Clifford following the Atkinson debacle after announcing that they would not hire any candidate without previous head coaching experience
Which one of these teams is better coached

Orlando also have the 2nd best defense in the league and we have the worst.

I mean... they are 11-5 while we are 5-9 despite despite having an easy schedule loaded with home games. Do you really think they have that much more talent than we do?

Confirmed... Terry starting, Miller to bench.
I don't agree, but I guess cliff needs to be proven wrong before he changes. He finally has his dream lineup. Less excuses for 30th ranked offense

I'm interested to see how we do with at least half decent depth off the bench now.

Joe Ingles is exactly the kinda player that will tear our asses up tonight.
