I'm excited about this game for no other reason than knowing I won't have to see Hibbert, Sessions, or Hawes, play a single minute.

Going to be depressing watching Hayward knowing he was almost a Hornet.

Utah is very well built. Will be fun to watch them in the playoffs. Built the right way too.

Does this mean Cliff is planning on playing Frank 34 minutes at center?

Lets go Hornets and newest member, Plumlee! Hibbert and Hawes are gone and all the clouds are finally going away to let the sun shine through. :D

I remember being upset about the Hayward offer sheet because I wanted us to go after Lance lol. I don't know that I've ever been more wrong about something basketball related.

Plot twist: Frank steps in and proves most adept at the 5 the day after the Hornets commit long-term to Plumlee. Hornets end up with three starting-caliber 5s and only Marvin at the 4.

Does Favors ever play? I've seen a handful of their games this year and it feels like he is never on the floor.

Batum got a layup because Gobert had to follow Frank out of the lane. That's very different to what we usually deal with when playing shot blocking centers.

I didn't really think about the long term impact of the Plumlee deal on Frank's potential development as a center. My opinion on Frank has always been that I thought his true value would be best at center, but it might take a few years to get there. We now have 24 mil committed per year at center to others. Does that tell us anything about Hornets reluctance to view Frank as a long term center?

I might admit myself to the psych ward if Frank ends up being a great starting center or even back up as opposed to a 4, and we just traded for Miles

OK, so Favors isn't dead. Now watch him kill us with 12 foot jumpers.

Frank with his best Hawes impression, high post backdoor pass to Lamb.

And Lamb back in early rotation, so it was just the injury and not related to Cliff hating him.

Does anyone think there is any way we wouldn't have been better off with Frank starting at center all these games that Cody has been out? Why does our allegedly great coach never seem to get these types of things right until its forced upon him by circumstance. We've lost 11 games this season with Cody absent, which can partially be directly attributed to a coaching decision.
