Not torrent, but you can freely stream replays of recent Hornets games online if you miss a game or if your DVR messed up. NBAHD.com might be worth checking out.

I don't think Lin want to throw the ball to Kemba, it is that Hornets want to make Kemba an all star. Kemba has been playing a lot of minute and been chucking the ball up every time he gets his hand on it. He still play over 30 minutes even when opposing team blow out the Hornets.

Honestly, there is no reason to play Kemba 40+ mpg. Playing so many minute every night is inviting injury.

10 is exaggeration, more like 6-7 assists..

Kemba is averaging 32 MPG over our last five. He only played 35 minutes last night, which is a single minute over what he has averaged this season. Among starting guards in the league, Kemba's MPG ranks 22nd (minimum 10 games played).

Kemba is averaging just 3 more FGAs per 36 minutes than Lin, and Kemba is shooting much more efficiently.

If you are trying to say something negative about Kemba's play lately, you're just trolling.

For Lin, it would have been great if Clifford sat Kemba in 4th q last night because Lin usually plays better when he can act as PG for bench and he was having a very good night .

But Kemba waa having an amazing night and Clifford probably wanted to give him a chance to keep it going

Not a big deal. Team won big anyway. Everyone made good contributions

No wonder he had to pull a Haren when the game was almost settled. Hope he is fine. For those asking his minutes to increase, maybe not just yet.

Lin really would have helped that team. Fit in with their gritty style and at the same time provide some speed.

lin would be able to help any team as a backup PG... but it is not a good fit..
lin's better in a space and pace system, Grizzlies is none of those
lin would not be a good fit for Hornets either if coach clifford has not changed the offensive style of the team..

Thrilled to have Lin here.

Started off with quiet a few stupid posters, but they were weeded out. The ones left are good.

Well, most of them are anyway

i think the difference is the long-time posters of Hornets forum are more embracing and chill... there are a lot of knowledgable and chill dudes in lakers forum too, unfortunately not the one who just popped out

That's good, I'm legitimately happy about that. I'm glad you're having a better experience than we did.

The Hornets fans have to deal with the Lin horde this year, true. But they haven't had to deal with Scott, which you've had to deal with both last year and this. You get rid of BS, send Kobe off in a ticker tape parade, and you're gonna have an exciting team again.

Lin not getting shine in favor of a hot Kemba is alot easier to stomach than getting benched for Ronnie "Head of the Snake" Price and also getting blamed for all the defensive woes of the team which led to said benching. Amusing to see how Hornets fan in general can recognize that Lin isn't a bad defender, when he's pretty much always played that way last year but got lambasted for his "horrible" defense.

Meh, i've essentially stopped being a Laker fan until Byron is gone, that **** has truly ruined that franchise and made Kobe an utter laughingstock these 2 seasons.

But hey he's an AMAZING tank commander! I'm sure they'll score top 3 pick no problemo!

Scott disgraces the Lakers. He doesn't treat his players right by not communicating with them why he's moving them to the bench and how in their new roles they'll still be key players. He's letting Kobe embarrass himself with awful shooting percentage nights after awful ones and often from 3. He's not helping guys like Randle develop good points of his game. I can't watch them anymore. I watch a lot of games but the Lakers aren't watchable.

I think this would first time and maybe last time be my last time talking about Lin's Lakers experience as a Lin fan here. We did not know Scott would always publicly blame his players for game losses and ignore the damages caused by Kobe like this season. Hornets fans might remember how good Lin could be if he had chance to play his style last season. Lin was token out of games and even suspended when he actually played well. It was understandable if you wanted to tank a team so you toke hot hands off the court. But the way Scott treated Lin almost could have destroyed him mentally. It was horrible experience for Lin and his fans. I am just glad Lin found a coach and team which he believes he had a chance to play NBA games in some ways he likes to play and contribute what he is capable of. There are thousands Lin fans. You cannot expect every one of them all talk nicely. I know if 5-10 "bad guys" could mess up the perception of Lin fans in a forum. That is what the mods can control. By the way, some Lin haters might have pretended as Lin fans and tried to have Lin fans upset by others. Enjoy the games please.
