You local guys should tell the marketers that you won't buy season tickets until Bismack Biyombo is re-acquired.

Why is Atlanta trying to wreck their team? Teague and Horford? They're 4 or 5 in the standings now. They still have players there but Horford is one of their main players. I know Teague is struggling but I think he's been injured.

Paces 11-17 on the road. Hornets 7-17. Let's make it 11-18 vs. 8-17. Won't be easy though and will need a whole team effort.

I still think we haven't seen close to the best out of this team. A win tonight would be huge, but really we just need to get to the ASB without any more injuries.

I would be surprised if Indiana won tonight. I don't watch them very often, but the little I have Paul George is extremely ISO heavy, takes a lot of terrible contested mid range 2s. That is just not gonna work vs Mkg. Same thing with Ellis, it's all isolation.

MKG has absolutely shut down Paul George once or twice before. As long as Kemba doesn't go under screens too much, he will come out ahead of George Hill. Batum vs Ellis/CJ Miles/Stuckey should be an easy win for us. Neither frontcourt is particularly strong. As long as Myles Turner and Jordan Hill don't go nuts on us, we should be fine.

They have solid team defense and a rim protector. How do the benches match up? Then there are unknowns like how will the game be called. If MKG gets some ticky-tack fouls on him then George is guarded by PJ which is a big drop in defensive capabilities.

Hope Kemba and Batum keep their streak of good games played, MKG has similar energy as last game and the bench picks it up.

It wouldn't surprise me to see MKG spend an equal amount of time guarding Ellis tonight. Both Marvin and Batum can match up OK vs George, but neither is a good matchup against Ellis.

David West was always the guy that killed us against the Pacers, thankfully he's gone.

The Hornets broadcast is blacked out for me on league pass but the Pacers broadcast isn't. I live in Indiana, so shouldn't it be the Pacers broadcast that is blacked out, or both?

Screw Winslow and Booker. If anything we should have taken Turner instead of Frank. Hard to go wrong with any of those guys though.

I guess no wants to post in the game threads if they can't obsessively post about Lin's minutes or how terrible a player Kemba is :-?

Trying to at least get some discussion going.
