Double Al Jefferson from the start of the game til end. Stay with Kemba and double with anyone else.

One thing I've noticed with Hornacek this season and last season is that he rarely emloys double teams. A guy could be ripping us a new one and he'll still single guard him.

Idk if its a pride thing but Hornacek needs to realize that even greatest HCs like Popovich and Phil Jackson have used double teams plenty in their career.

Big Al was a complete non-factor in both games last year.

Damn Zeller-Jefferson front court? That's pretty big.

They've been complaining a lot that Big Al looks sub-prime so far this season. Also, he seems to be their only offensive option.

I'd say clog the paint defensively and let Bledsoe on Kemba and that's it. Last year they had Henderson, McRoberts and Sessions that made a lot of damage against us. This year they lack mid-and-long range shooting.

and this year they have Lance, which is like half a loss every game from the beginning.

On a serious note, don't underestimate them. Gotta build a big 1st quarter lead.

They are league worst for points of 3rd quarter per game and us top 5. Lazy start like last game fine by me.

MKG out for tonight's game. Doesn't look like Lance and Neal will play either.

What happened to Lance and Neal?

Yeah, we are as thin as ice tonight. It will be nice to see PJ Hairston get huge minutes, he's been great so far (even if the numbers don't show it).
