GT: Game #61 - Charlotte Vs Milwaukee (April 27th)

If we could steal a cheeky one here, it would be HUGE for us (and start to make up for some of the recent disappointing losses to the Hawks, Cavs and Bulls).

Be outstanding to get LaMelo, Malik and Gordo back soon - although Gordo still seems like a long way off seeing him still on the sideline in a massive walking boot on Sunday.

I would like to see the Hornets limit the minutes of the starters tomorrow night, knowing that with Milwaukee at full strength, the chances of winning are rather low. Instead, aim to take out the Celtics on Thursday night, and save some energy. That game is more important in terms of the standings.

The Hornets also play a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, against Detroit and Miami. Roster management is going to be crucial. Fortunately, both games will be at home. That would mean playing a broader rotation against the Bucks, including Zeller, Carey, and Riller.

Y'all think we'll stay small with PJ at the 5 against Milwaukee's big lineup? I have a sneaky feeling that JB will start one of our actual centers and it'll be Biz not Cody...

No pressure this game. Let's steal another one.

The "projected starters" for the Bucks are taller than the Hornets at every position. Not a good matchup.

Decent first quarter. Lost the defensive intensity a bit towards the end but it was still a promising sign that this could be a close game.

Still just eight players so far. It's not helping against this team.

We’ve got to find a way to reduce Cody Martin offense

Wheels are coming off a bit, we desperately need Graham and Rozier to get into this game.

Wannaker got a dunk though, so that was a surprise.

Can we please not go down by 20 before halftime

He has more attempts than either Graham or Washington. Just because he is left free does not mean he has to shoot.

I still like our changes to win a few games vs the Bucks compared to the Sixers or nets

Bridges has played almost 21 minutes so far. Rozier has played 19. That has me concerned, with another game tomorrow night.

Getting ugly now. It will be interesting to see how much fight there is coming out of the locker room. If this deficit gets much worse during the 3rd quarter JB needs to think about resting guys for tomorrow.

Get it under ten, and the Hornets have a chance.

You gotta admire the fight.

Terry has been weirdly reluctant to just pull it from deep, but when he drives it seems like he's had his mind made up and forces it.

um Miles just invented some kind of new twisty reverse floater shot
