This guy is a stud, his ceiling is over the roof. Sadly almost entire of his career he has been held by his teammates and coaches. The refs also had no love for him. And now, our playing style doesn't fit to his strengths, i'm sure he will flourish in other team with a great system that fit to his strengths. With his passing ability and court vision I have no doubt he will be their Vlade Divac. 8-)

Lins career in a nutshell.

If we really want to reach our ceiling as a team we need to stop messing around with scrubs like Kemba and Batum and hand the keys of the franchise over to Lin and Hawes.

Anyone know lamb's status for tonight?

Let's try to keep this thread focused on the game tonight fellas.

SAC is going to be a tough game, they've won 5 in a row with wins over LAC, IND, and ATL, and before that they stayed with GSW, took DAL to double OT, and took down OKC on the road.

This is Cousins's line in the month of January: 32.5 points, 13.7 boards, 50% FG, 47.2% 3PT on 3.3 attempts, 75% FT on 10 attempts

Remember what happened last game when SAC came to Charlotte? It took an out of this world performance by Kemba AND a complete meltdown by SAC where we outscored them by 17 in the 4th quarter for us to force OT and eventually come out with the win. In that game Kemba played 47 minutes and had 39 points on 23 shot attempts and only 3 made free throws (he was 16-23 from the field and 4-6 from three).

Thanks. We don't have a lot of extreme Lin fans here and Lin is a good guy. Let's just hope that going forward he plays more like the last game and nothing like the game before that. And he was a huge contributor in the last King's game in OT after Kemba's heroics in regulation. He's a key player on the team.

Cousins is something of a head case. He's a strong talent but he's vulnerable to getting in foul trouble. Our guys got him in foul trouble the last time, maybe they can again.

This team has some weapons and depth. And we're in their house. Late game.

I didn't notice but were there Charlotte players at the Panther rout yesterday?

Bold prediction: Kemba and Cousins will both score 40 tonight

Neutralizing each other. Then it all depends on the next guy on either team to have a big game. Last game it was Hairston. Tonight Frank? Who?

Wanna predict assists for Rondo? + or - 20?

Going with Troy Daniels as the guy who steps up.

Cousins is going to ritually sacrifice our entire front court to the low post gods. I still feel like we've got a decent shot though, just make sure no one else goes off. Need as many wins as we can get on this west coast swing.

LostInACrowd · Post #18 » by **LostInACrowd** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 6:10 pm

Sure Cousins is a head case, but he would fit in perfectly with how the Hornets are constructed now. With him, I can see a healthy Charlotte making it to the finals where they lose to Golden State.

Post #19 » by **fatlever** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 6:13 pm

If we can go 2-2 on this road trip, that would be huge. All 4 games are winnable if we play a really good game and the other team plays poorly. Much better prospect on this road trip compared to the last one.
