GT: Hornets @ Houston Wed Dec 31 7PM EST
Al might not play, Lance might not play so this will probably be ugly.

Why ugly? According to some posters those two hold us back.
We are about to go on a huge win streak.
Right? Right? Right? Fellas......
This is what you guys have wanted.

Re: GT: Hornets @ Houston Wed Dec 31 7PM EST
dont think we will win Slam, I just want to see something different other than old man Al hobbling around the court. he's obviously not fit.
just change something, its killing me watching this crap. Injured Al forces their hand.
I do love seeing Biz get his dunk per game too

Re: GT: Hornets @ Houston Wed Dec 31 7PM EST
actually, now that jefferson is out, lance might be more productive since there will be more room in the paint. shame he is still out as well.

We'll still lose, obviously. But I'm excited to see something new.

yeah. I haven't been as excited about a game since early on in the season.
obviously, will miss it though due to it being on New Year's eve.

Re: GT: Hornets @ Houston Wed Dec 31 7PM EST
Hopefully Biyombo and Zeller can manage to score 10 points... Combined.
They have been dreadful lately.

Considering we run like 2 plays for Cody at the most and Biz is typically left to hold the paint entirely by himself with the 2nd unit, it shouldn't surprise anyone. I just want to see these guys get some attention from our own coaching staff in the game.
Also, looking forward to see how we play with a faster pace too.

I think neither Zeller or Biz are good enough at anything to often have plays being run for them.
Cody has enough of opportunities coming from his pick-n-pops. Let him learn to attack or take jumpers from them.

Re: GT: Hornets @ Houston Wed Dec 31 7PM EST
Would anyone like to take a guess on the spread for tomorrow night's game? I'm gonna say Houston -10, which still isn't large enough for me to be comfortable betting for the Hornets
Mike Malone was never given a fair chance in Sacramento, and Ranadive will soon come to regret that, when he's on top of the WC inevitably contending somewhere

should've guessed. Clifford probably reacted like Rainman when it was suggested to start Zeller at Centre.

"no Zeller is a power forward, he is not a centre, he is a forward. Centres play centre, forwards play for forward, forward can't play centre, centre can't play forward."

I can see a lot of pick n roll's like last year. where the screeners job (either Biz or Zeller) is to set the screen and then get the **** out the way while the guard throws up a shot

Re: GT: Hornets @ Houston Wed Dec 31 7PM EST
Biyombo vs Howard. Howard isn't nearly as good as he was when Biyombo destroyed him his rookie year, but it will still be fun to watch

Probably still my favourite Biz memory. god he looked good that day. He looked like a top 10 draft pick
