Starting this thread to make this simple observation - if Biz is out, Vonleh might be our only backup big option.

Given that Andersen and Whiteside may be out for Miami, we might see a total of like three true big men combined for both teams, and that's including Max.

Unbelievable. So many injuries between these two squads.

BisMASK will be **** scary. Can't wait.

Miami has no depth at any position if Deng, Whiteside, and Birdman are all out. Any word on Zeller?

Cliff said expectation was no. Zeller was shooting in practice and Cliff said they only way that would change is if he feels really good after that, but planning for no Zeller.

He also said MKG would come back against ATL at the earliest, so would miss MIA and TOR.

****, I keep forgetting MKG is injured. TOR might actually beat us without him. I still think we beat MIA though- they're essentially fielding Dragic/Wade/Chalmers/D-Leaguers at this point.

My power went out because a tree fell on a power line

I am very behind on the team activities, all i know is we beat Philly and got dumped by Indy.

Miami could put together a team of injured players that could challenge our best starting lineup in a 7-game series.

Napier, Deng, Beasley, Bosh, Whiteside

vs

Kemba, Hendo, MKG, Zeller, Jefferson

We have a very banged up Mod crew, like the actual team. We already put slam on IR for the season with his torn ACL (starting a new job and traveling). Sachmo missed the first two months of the season with a broken foot (moving to the desert with no internet). I have been in and out of the lineup all season with a chronic back injury (working late and dealing with massive turnover at work). JDR has been our rock starting every game this season, until the past few days when he had a broken nose (tree fell on power lines).

So did Miami. This is going to be an embarrassing game.

over/under 35 points for Wade?

Are Hornets fans thinking their team finishes their season strong? Regardless, hope you guys pull out the W tomorrow night.

I hope you guys do. Some here want us to win and some are happy to hold on to where our pick is now.

I'm so far behind on the ins and outs of this team right now its insane. Hard to want to keep up with a team that is so disappointing.

We are limping along without MKG and Zeller. We really aren't capable of playing strong without them.

We've had basically three "do or die" type games against our competitors recently -- BKN, BOS, IND -- and we lost all three of them. If they want to keep any hope of the playoffs alive, they have to win tomorrow.
