Good a time as any to end our losing streak. They will also be on a back2back, play CLE today in NY on TNT.

I knew a several game losing streak was upon us, but I called it a little too early. You can't do things the wrong way and then not expect things to go wrong. I think we can get this win though, and start turning around the season. It's not that we're as bad as we've been playing, it's just now that we have a monkey on our back, and one simple win can change that

99 NBA Players have shot 100+ shots outside of 8 feet so far, only 4 have made below 31%:
Lance 28%
Batum 29%
DJ Augustin 30%
Kemba 30%

Can't win games with that going on

Both are better penetrators than most NBA players and neither will ever be a good range shooter. The range shooting will have to come from either SF or PF.

You can't have two guards shooting 30% outside of 8 feet and expect to win. You can bring in Klay Thompson but if he is the only guy on your team that needs to be guarded outside of the paint then that isn't going to be enough. Kemba and Lance have to step up.

I haven't gave up on this Hornets team. It's just that there's nothing left to say that I haven't said dating back to last year around this time. I continue to watch the games and read through the threads

I have a somewhat good feeling about this one, and I should be able to watch it live for once. Don't disappoint me Hornets or I'm switching Cleveland-Toronto or Spurs-Grizzlies.

Long-term one of them will have to go. In today's league your guards absolutely cannot shoot so poorly from distance if you want to have a good offense.

The Hornets are going to crush the Knicks. Take the over on the spread.

W_HAMILTON · Post #17 » by **W_HAMILTON** » Fri Dec 5, 2014 9:40 pm

How the hell are the Knicks even worse than us? I think they were ahead of us in the standings when they beat us earlier in the season, and we've won like one game in the past month. EDIT: It looks like during that same time, they've only won two games :lol:

But looking at those same standings, we now have just two fewer losses than Philly ....................................... :banghead:

Surely the streak wont continue.

NYK's SOS is ranked 27th in the league, so that poor record is especially embarrassing. Our SOS is ranked 3rd.

Avenge the phantom 5 second call.
