According to John Denton, Evan Fournier (heel contusion) is a game-time decision but said is unlikely to play tonight. He missed shootaround this morning.

Hoping we lock down the paint tonight and that Payton goes Beast Mode again. We will need him.
AG is going to need to shut Batum down to win. Kemba can't beat us by himself.

If we beat a team like the Hornets and our offense looks great again I might start overreacting to Fournier being out.

Either way I hope we win and AG shows out.

Even though it still a bit early in the season this is a must win game. It won't come easy cause charlotte is a solid team but it can be done. We need to play aggressive defense from the start and set a tone on both ends of the court. We need to keep kemba out of the paint and find the open man for easy offense as well. I'll be at the game if we can win this one I have a lot of optimize towards this team somewhat turning the corner. Go magic

This win would be encouraging.

I'm actually hoping for a Hezonja sighting tonight, I know Watson has been in the rotation of late, and I actually like his defense, but it would just be good to see him in meaningful minutes for the first time since the start of the season.

Fournier is indeed OUT for tonight's game. So we get more savior tonight.

Kemba Walker has had some big games against us with Payton defending him. I'm not so sure we'll fare much better with DJ Augustin, but we will have better rim protection than in years past. I'd like to see us make Walker work on defense tonight. Have Payton really attack him in transition.

Gordon vs. MKG should be an interesting match up to watch all night.

Walker struggled against us last time, hopefully we can contain him again. The one's that are worrysome are Batum and MKG. They went off on us last time.

Oh, and we gotta keep Zeller off the boards this time.

I don't know why, but I'm not optimistic tonight.

I get excited for the 6 min mark because I know I don't have to watch DJ anymore.

DJ Augustin throwing a rocket at Biyombo. KYP!
