GT: Hornets vs. Spurs

Post #1 » by **Nolan** » Fri Jan 6, 2017 5:20 pm

When: 6:30 PM MT, Jan 7th 2016
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio TX

The Hornets are a dangerous team that we're going to have trouble defending. Both Kemba and Batum could really really hurt us and they have a litany of capable role players that we have to watch out for as well.

The key to winning this one is going be the way we handle their perimeter players (Kemba, Batum, MKG) if Tony/Mills can hold their own on the defensive end whether they're defending Kemba or not is going to be huge. And as always big games from Kawhi and LMA will be extremely helpful.

Go Spurs!!

As always, I'm interested in seeing what Pop's going to do with Walker. Let's hope Tony sustains his strong recent play.

Last game until we get a well deserved 2 days off. Hornets with 2 of their key players out due to injuries But I still expect them to bring a fight despite losing their past 2. However I do expect a Spurs win. Spurs look way too gelled out there now

Spurs by 15

David Lee not playing for us tonight.

Since there's always a scrub that goes off against us, I'd say that this is Jeremy Lamb's time. Expect a win regardless.

Bertans! Great breakout game!! Looked like Keith Van Horn out there today!

Read on Twitter

And Kawhi... he should not be bailing out the defense with 10 threes in a game. That's also how you become the next Vince Carter instead of Kobe Bryant.

A little late to this one but awesome game from Bertans and a solid win. We started off a bit cold from the field but we played solid defense, stayed in the game and blew it wide open in the 3rd.

Also I feel like Bertans amazing game really overshadowed Dedmon's outstanding game. 15 and 10 perfect from the field and he played some outstanding defense, especially when he had to switch onto perimeter players.
