Should be a win. The Nets look like they've totally given up on the season. Only Brook Lopez kinda concern me. I can see Lopez kinda owning us if he get going.

They've won four of their last six?

They beat the Bucks, Wolves, and Sixers. Those are prolly the worst teams in the league right now other than the Knicks. They did beat the Pacers tho in that 4. Other than that they are 4-6 in their last 10 games.

Yeah, was more thinking the Pacers, I was pretty shocked they pulled that out, Indy needed that game.

Cody either got the weight of the world on his shoulder or a chip on it. He's been carrying a heavy load playing cleanup for Al all season.

Is another NBA team ripping off our sh*t already?

With our new Hornets rebrand weren't our uni's the only ones in the NBA that had a graphic down only 1 side?

The Nets uni's Vs the Bucks the other night:

Well, that didn't take long.....

Meh, still not sure I love the one side thing on ours.

I've been working so hard lately that I haven't had the chance to watch this team but in very brief glimpses in what feels like over a month. I should be able to watch tonight's game. I can't wait to see what kind of desire & fight this team has in them to finish off this playoff push. Tonight's game look to be very important for them if they plan on making the playoffs convincingly

Welp, we could either get this:

The Charlotte Hornets didn't try to hide it: This was an important game.

They couldn't have started it much better.

Al Jefferson and Gerald Henderson each scored 19 points, Marvin Williams had 18 and the Hornets routed Brooklyn 115-91 on Wednesday night to move into sole possession of eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Mo Williams added 14 points and a season-high 14 assists for the Hornets, who rode a blistering start to their third straight win, breaking a tie with the Nets for the final playoff spot in the East.

"I felt like the team that wanted it more was going to win the game," Mo Williams said. "It's just, the teams are so much evenly matched and I felt like for the most part we came out and we punched them in the mouth early and we took their punch back, and we regrouped and came out in the third quarter and kind of punched them again and they just didn't recover after that."

Or we could get this:

Brooklyn coach Lionel Hollins felt Joe Johnson had a size matchup he could exploit against Gerald Henderson.

Johnson, nearly two inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Henderson, took full advantage.

The Nets went to the 13-year NBA veteran in the low post early and often, and Johnson responded with 14 of his 22 points in the first quarter as Brooklyn built a big lead and rolled to an easy 114-87 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night.

"They didn't have a good matchup for Joe," Hollins said. "... They had to come help on him and Joe had it going early."

When we rolled against them in Brooklyn earlier this month, Marvin started over a healthy Cody and matched up against JJ. Guessing we'll see that again.

This should equal at least 15 meaningful minutes of Noah Vonleh, but we'll see

Last game Al got hurt and only played 20 minutes, Maxiell fouled out in just 11 minutes, Biz only played 19 minutes, Cody sat out and we still only saw Vonleh for 1 minute to close out the first half. I wouldn't count on it.

Al is playing injured. Prepare to be severely disappointed.

Still think we win though.

I want, so badly, to believe you. But I just can't. :cry:

Post #19 » by **yosemiteben** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:41 pm

I expect the minute allocation to be almost exactly as it was Monday. Vonleh only gets PT if Max or Biz gets in major foul trouble, and even then it'll only be spot minutes. Marvin gets like 35 minutes at PF, MKG gets most of the rest, might see a little Max + Biz for a couple minutes.

The real question is does Biz get the start or is Al going to still start and just have his PT cut.

Or does Max start and this board implodes...

Looks like I'll be attending tonight. Hope it's better than the last game I went to, though that'll be easy since Kemba, MKG, and Biz were all injured then.
