Dwight vs whiteside should be fun

This seems like a game we have to win. The fact that we've already dug ourselves such a huge hole, beating teams like the Heat, who we're competing with for the final playoff spots become that much more important.

We have to bank on a massive rash of injuries to other teams and a really nice trade to put ourselves into playoff contention.

We'd have to go 31-24 from here on out just to get to .500 which seems like the bare minimum to qualify this season

As long as we can contain Waiters and Richardson I think we have a good shot to win this one...oh and Batum has to bring more effort. He's the only guy who has clearly been dogging it lately...if he continues to be lethargic we should just shut him down for a while to let him heal up.

If we try to play Dwight the whole game I will be on the fire Silas bandwagon. We saw what happened last time we played Dwight with Whiteside out. He had 9 turnovers and 5 fouls and singlehandedly destroyed us with a 3rd quarter meltdown where he wasted several consecutive possessions.

This should be an easy win tonight. We didn't have Kemba last time around.

Josh Richardson going for another career high on us. I swear he average 20+ against us but I just did my research and it’s only 16 points which is still a lot considering that he’s a career 9 ppg player and only averaging 10 this year.

He scored his career high 27 points on us two weeks ago and he had his career-high 3pters made in a single game against us last season.

Richardson drills a 3 on the Heat first possession. Whoopty doo.

I’m gonna need Kemba to start playing better. I know he can lazily walk his way into 20ppg on okay efficiency and be our best player since because he’s that good now and we don’t have much talent but I know he’s capable of playing better than he has lately.

Attitude seems a little better than usual today. I hope they stay this agressive for the whole game

Marvin on mcw mode...

Agreed. I feel like he's been slumping from 3 especially. Possibly still a little banged up from that recent shoulder injury?

Interesting sub, Monk in 1st. I like it. Get him some playing time with the starters to see if he can calm down.

Shoulder and wrist injuries but I see a lot of his mishaps are mental like picking up his dribble too early instead of attacking the rim and stuff.

I just made a screenshot.

Frank the only Hornets positive in +/- right now

316Hornets · Post #15 » by **316Hornets** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:36 am

Olynk 3rd foul, and now we see Batum with the bench(minus Monk).

bravor · Post #16 » by **bravor** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:44 am

woa. MCW scored a lay up

catch20two · Post #17 » by **catch20two** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:44 am

They finally made Batum the PG of the 2nd unit.

Then Lamb got clipped on his 3pt attempt without a call. The refs are just gonna treat us like the trash they think we are lol.

HoopsMalone · Post #20 » by **HoopsMalone** » Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:48 am

The Hornets are getting NO CALLS i mean NONE the past couple of weeks... it's been a little ridiculous... guys just get mugged and nothing...
