Charlotte Hornets PR ‏@HornetsPR 2h2 hours ago

INJURY REPORT: @hornets at NYK
J. Lin (R elbow bursitis) is PROBABLE
Batum (L knee strain) is QUESTIONABLE
MKG (R shoulder) OUT
#CHAatNYK


The way we have looked past 2 games, we could very easily lose this game.

Doubt Batum plays

Against the 2 best teams in the conference? I was hopeful but basically expected the losses. The combined difference was like 15 points.

it wasn't so much the overall outcome or point differential, just the fact that we've looked really bad to start games recently, especially those two.

Crush dem Dolan Melo!

Hmm kinda surprised, i was actually expecting Batum to play and Lin out. Lin's elbow was all sorts of nasty (prolly a major factor he couldnt **** a lick outside in the 2nd half), but i guess he'll just gut it through and Cliffy will try to get Batum as close to 100% as possible for the POs. Looks like CHA is gonna concede HCA to get as many players as possible to 100%.

Cmon Linsanity, rub it in Dolan/Melo's face!

Frank is starting instead of Lin. Probably makes sense so that Marvin can guard Melo instead of Lee.

7:30 start time > 7:00 start time

This was always my #1 complaint when I filled out season ticket holder surveys.

was trying to figure out who the blonde on foxsportsoutheast was - the one in the studio - Kelsey Wingert. Apparently she does the Braves games for this same channel.

Frank fails to score on their PG in the post. Sad.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
