[Cope]

Favors played 8:29 in the first half, Kanter played 6:30.

Damn you ESPN... Damn you

But he is a lockdown defender.......

can we please lock him down to a safety box?

Hornets would be down by 20 if someone came out of the paint and guarded Kaman and Smith's mid-range game.

Even still you have to like the effort. Guys are playing hard not settling for jumpers. Seems like every time they attack the basket they get two or go to the line. Good job by Corbin too.

Burks is just an exciting player, the moment he gets the ball in his hands you feel like he can make something happen. Brings the ball down way too low when he sets to shoot though - he's going to get the ball stripped a lot unless he makes an adjusment.

Bell is back in...

 

[Cope]

Offense with Bell and Jeffy in.... Throw it to Jeffy and stand there..... Stand there more..... Stand there longer

 

[DutchJazzer]

bell actually played pretty well in the 1st half. His man didn't score on him and he facilitated the offense. He will continue to have the starting role until burks takes it from him. Burks did look promising though, so it may happen before the year is over.

wtf????

 

[MVP]

Kanter looked solid, despite of the miss at the end of 1st Q.

If you look at one end of the floor, yes he did great job rebounding misses and scoring on putbacks. But on defense he was quilty for 8 hornets points!, Kaman nailed three jumpers in his face and then he misplayed pick and roll badly which led for J.Smith jumper.

 

[Jerry Lundegaard]

Bell looked good to start the second half. Good move, Ty. Belinelli lighting him up.

 

[jazzyapma]

Ty please bring back the 2nd unit.

 

[Stoked]

Ty please bring back the 2nd unit.

Jefferson #2 in the league in FGA per 48, only behind Kobe..... And there is a reason he has earned the name The Black Hole

 

[homertone]

Wow, Lamar Odom has 6 baskets in 37 attempts this year.
