GT: Hornets @ Magic Fri Jan 22 7PM EST 

Post#1 » by fatlever » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:03 pm

MKG out
Jefferson out
Batum out
Zeller out
Lamb doubtful
Harrison in DLeague

We could be w/out 5 of our top 7 players tomorrow. We will only have 9 players in uniform (10 if Lamb plays).

Best guess at rotation

Kemba/Roberts
Lin/Daniels
Hairston
Marvin/Kaminsky
Hawes/Hansbrough

Oladipo is questionable for Magic.

and I was right, easy prediction

I'm told Spencer Hawes and Jeremy Lin likely to start for @hornets in Orlando.

I'll be shocked if Oladipo plays, and even if he does it will be limited minutes.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Orlando has been the worst offense in the league in 2016 with something like a 93 ORtg

We'll win as long as Kemba doesn't shoot very much and he gets a lot of looks for our studs like Hairston, Roberts, Hawes, Daniels, and Hansbrough.

This has the potential to be a super ugly game. Orlando's offense is horrible, and we'll probably be horrible on both ends with this battered roster. Kemba may need another 40 point game. Good thing he usually dominates vs Orlando

Kemba has trouble guarding Peyton. I'm honestly expecting a loss, but hope for the best.

what happens when a team with the worst offensive rating meets a team with the worst defensive rating? An anti matter reaction, blows a hole in space time leading to an alternate universe?

this lineup by a lot

ppl really just don't grasp how bad that team was anymore. i mean think about it, that defense was so bad that our coach literally abandoned the idea entirely and decided it was a move to just sell out hard for every turnover/rebound.

our centers now may not be intimidators, but mullens would run AWAY from the ball on d

I'll make a prediction: If psycho T gets some decent minutes, we might pull off a win, otherwise the game is going to be about hawes laying up bunnies into the 2nd row of stands

Yeah don't love the thought of Hawes starting. I know it's unlikely but I'd love to see us play Frank at 5 some. His shooting would benefit our spacing even more. Question is how well he would defend.

kemba is gonna have to stop penetration at some point. guys are getting into the lane at will

now that everyone's dead he HAS to play

either way, don't like him against all the front court guys who can step out on the orlando squad. harris, vuc, frye... cliff's defensive blind spot has always been the stretch big
