As I said yesterday - this almost seems too good to be true. Playing the worst team in the league on a back-to-back after two clutch victories, while we are one win under .500 on the night on which we unveil or new colors. My understanding is that there will be a lot of people at the arena tonight, am I right?

I really, really hope that we win this one.

A win tonight will be super amazing. I just hope we're not tired from the back-to-back and emotional hangover of the last two victories.

Utah got smoked last night in Atlanta. This is one of those games where we can easily lose like the Orlando game if we come out flat.

Should' be fun to see Al against his former teammates, especially Kanter. Also looking forward to seeing if Kemba can continue his exceptional play. Jazz are coming off a stinker against the Hawks. Trey Burke really played bad after putting together some pretty good games. Of course the reveal is tonight. Don't know what kind of crowd to expect, but I'll be there as always. :D

We will win easily. Kemba and Al are playing so well. Maybe Hendo will have a great game tonight. I'm so excited! I'll be there in person! Go Hornets!

I'm wary of this too. It would be really easy to lay down for this one, seeing as they played their hearts out last night, we've won our last three, and they have to be pretty jet lagged. I would love to see Jefferson get pumped up to play his former team and destroy them like he did against Monroe last night

I hope we didn't use all our energy yesterday, Utah got destroyed so they should be rested decently well, maybe Al can tell Cliff some insider tips about them

Al should know Kanter and Favors very well considering the fact that he mentored them. I'm only worried about someone like Alec Burks annihilating us from deep.

Alec Burks is only a career 34% 3pt shooter (take that with the league average being 35.7%), I'm not all that worried about him. I'm honestly more worried about Trey Burke playing out of his mind. This guy had an awful game last night but the game before that he put up 30. Tonight is about playing fundamentally, no more, no less. If we do the things we need to do we should beat them handily

Kemba is going to own that young bul.

My pick is John Lucas III going off on Sessions and the 2nd unit.

I wouldn't mind having Marvin here at all. I wonder what Utah would want for him.
Humble yourself.

It'll be Jeremy Evans.

Woohoo! Heading to the game tonight after a very generous guy, can't thank him enough! Hopefully I get there in time to get a Buzz City long sleeve

Apparently we are wearing throwback Hornets uniforms tonight, and the ladycats will be in honey bee's attire. Wut?
