If Vooch is out with a stomach bug, and JI is in concussion protocol, this might be a tough game to win. And I really want to win this one.

If we miss, we'll be pulling for you guys. The Raptors Sixers and Celtics have uber obnoxious fans. Nothing would be sweeter than an upset.

But hey, maybe you should rest your guys tonight.

Thanks!

I have no clue what we even want to do tonight. I think it's in our best interest to win but not to the point where we kill our dudes. Hopefully there's a situation tonight where we're not in a must win to get a 6th-7th seed and you guys can sneak in instead of the boring ass Pistons team.

Definitely gonna be a tough one especially with no Isaac and possibly no Vooch tonight. Hornets have been playing very well and credit to them for not giving up on their season.

Really need to defend the pick and roll well against Kemba and not allow him to go wherever he wants on the floor. Need to limit Lamb, Bacon and Kaminsky and win both the bench battle and rebound battle. Keep that playoff intensity up and let’s try to get a good win to close the regular season.

Just a reminder that tonight's game is going to be on ESPN if anyone wants the national perspective. I'm going to spare myself, tho

So if the Hornets do win, Than we can say we didn't have Isaac and Vuc. But if Hornets lost, Than they don't have an excuse.

Holy sh*t. A nationally televised game? We really have reached the promised land.

Undermanned, but everybody needs to bust their asses for Clifford tonight. You know he wants this win.

Yeah but what a timing. Vuc and JI out? It will look like we are tanking.

Avout Vuc, is this hia firat absence this season? Also is this legit or are we just playing it safe?

It almost feels like Nuggets scenario where it's whether they should fight for a win or rest and don't worry about the seeding.

No Vucevic. No Isaac. Potentially Kemba's final game in a Charlotte uniform.

Hornets by 20+ easily.

RookieStar · Post #16 » by **RookieStar** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 11:04 pm

So our vaunted longbois in JI and Vuc are out along with Bamba and Moz...

First time in a while that our lineup's tallest guy is only 6'9-6'10ish.

Time for A.Jefferson to shine!

Must be some really bad food poisoning for Vooch. Hydrate the man and get him ready for the weekend.

I used to get excited about nationally televised games for a national perspective. But, I've grown to really like David Steele and Jeff Turner. I enjoy the commentary, banter, and analysis. There are also only a few national play by play/commentary teams that I really care to listen to. Feels like both ESPN and TNT are in a slump of talent right now.

I wonder if they figured it was more important to get some Vuc some rest for the playoffs. There were times towards the end of the season that it looked like he might be losing some steam.
