2 in a row. I'm feeling it. Then Gordon comes back and we make it to 3 in a row. After that, we can go back to facing quality teams. lol

[ReedSpeed]

Awesome, we get to see Big Sloppy Sheep Dog back at the arena. He looks like he's in good shape since leaving here.

[RhythmNathan]

Can we list Gordon as questionable so I have a reason to come back here before game time? Thx.

[SeaLegs]

Aaron Gray!?!?

Gentlemen, we are doomed.

[GeneralGreivis]

I can foresee your average 74-69 disgrace of a win tonight. Still counts

#Hornets Jason Smith has good practice session, hopes to play tonight, but game time decision bc shoulder still sore.

Eric Gordon practices full in #Hornets general am session, but watches #Raptors specific period. Don't expect to see him until tomorrow.

Wisconsin spit out his glass of Old Fashioned when he reads that.

if we could win this one with EG coming back tomorrow we can really start 2013 on the right foot

[Austrian_Pelican]

Vasquez vs Calderon what a Matchup
not easy for Rivers, DeRozan is a lot bigger
love to see Aaron Gray again !

[Hard'n'DaPaint]

Let's win this one for EG !!!

[flyPelican]

let win this one 4 Lance Thomas...

[Bee-Fense]

I expect another big game from Lopez. Toronto is really weak at center right now. Their only center is Aaron Gray

[diablo1356]

calderon is gonna light us up. if lowry plays, look out. this team is not an easy win. let derozan shoot all he wants, but do not let pietrus start hitting, and for gods sake keep calderon in check. he always kills us.

[AD23nEG10]

wouldn't be surprised if Aminu finds his way back into the starting role when EG comes back

[jprdbulldog20]

not sure if this has been posted anywhere

Amazing how bad this team is outside of Davis, Lopez, and Anderson.

Amazing how bad this team is outside of Davis, Lopez, and Anderson.

I was mostly just expecting a 3 man team this year (replacing Lopez with EG) with guest appearances by Jason Smith.

Anyway, I have an extra ticket to the game tonight. Send me a PM if you would like it.

I can't wait until we get them back

Jason Smith a game-time decision per Jimmy Smith.

So Calderon has earned the right to start over Lowry. Basically they gave up a top 5 pick for a back up. Okay then.

Good news for us though. I feel Vasquez will do much better against Calderon than he would've against Lowry.

Lets go Hornets!
