Marvin. Giannis is way too physical for Lamb. I think he’s gonna torch us either way but we have to keep him out the paint as much as possible.

Good call. Giannis is gonna put up 50. Will be interesting to see if Dwight impacts him at all.

Obviously can't confirm but seeing some referencing Bonnell saying no MKG, MCW, or Zeller. Great.

Yup, I saw that too. I thought MKG might play but was curious about Zeller. We will see Cody again sometime in December. “Bone bruise”.

This will be beyond difficult to win. Early season though, and might be a let down performance from the Bucks after their crazy win.

I wouldn't bet on us though.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

This season will get ugly fast if Zeller is really out. Unreal.

I read on reddit that Clifford would have said:
- No MCW
- No MKG
- No Zeller

Does anybody have any idea when the Cody bone bruise even happened? (Like the actual specific play)

Does that make Monk our primary back up at point tonight?

Gross.

You can't carry stone through a six-week injury. Dude has got to go. Them's the breaks. Need to find a functional backup point guard ASAP.

A lot of injured point guards right now - Chris Paul, Isaiah Thomas, Jeremy Lin, Rajon Rondo, Dante Exum, Milos Teodosic, Brandon Knight, MCW, and now Stone. I think that will make the trade market competitive, so it may be smart to explore the free agent market first.

Expecting to see another great game from Howard today, he was incredible against the Hawks.

This game will probably be a lot closer than some anticipate (due to the Hornets' injuries). Right now, the Bucks rely on Giannis TOO much, the team has not meshed in the new season yet. If Giannis is off even by a little and Middleton or Brogdon don't step up, we are going to lose. Easily, and especially if Walker is hot from 3.

Good luck tonight.

Thanks - looking forward to the matchup. Curious - there are a lot of Hornets fans here that are also Brogdon fans (I, for one, wish we drafted him) - now that he seems to be your starting PG, how does he fare on D against smaller/quicker matchups?

At Milwaukee with half the roster hurt? Were gonna get spanked hard, no need to panic though, it's game 3 and were in a bad spot with the injuries.

Clifford says Monk will play backup PG with Paige getting emergency minutes.

Clifford also trying to save face saying Brogdon is not a PG but an off guard.
