Gameday thread: Hornets @ Heat

[Eman5805]

what did he say?

We have no players that can create offense. I think he might've meant for others, like a facilitator, but Gordon is that in addition to a guy that can get his own shot.

[RaisingTheBar]

what did he say?

He said this team (hornets) and no one that can create their own shot.

Austin Rivers re-sprained his right ankle and will not return. Initially hurt is vs the Mavs on Monday

[PelsFan2313]

Davis is exhausted. He's got nothing more to prove. Let him rest. He's more than earned it.

Agreed. I don't think playing a couple more minutes is worth it at this point. We already have one crippled lottery player in Rivers.

We don't need two.

Does Davis have a ball magnet on his hands?

[Eman5805]

The offense runs at its best when Vasquez is in half court. I dot get some of you

But when we can score baskets in transition, usually off of strong defense, Vasquez is very ill suited for that.

I said this in Hornets247 after the 17 rebound game. He just have a knack for knowing where the ball is or will be.

Aminu and 1. Good fast break.

If I hear vaskwez again...

That is all about chemistry. This is a lot of these guys 8th professional game playing together. Maybe it would be more fluid if he somehow played in SL.

[PelsFan2313]

Aminu with the nice and one!

The Saints defense needs someone like that in the worst way.

UniBrow for ROY.

Place your house on it. Will be a HOF.

I don't know how it's pronounced at this point. I remember hearing Dell pronounce his name that way during the NBATV Preseason Training Camp interview. I figure he'd at least be able to pronounce his name since he traded for him?

It's more from his guard days where he keeps soft hands. Unlike Lopez who also gets his hands on the balls, but fumbles around with it (no homo).

OMG Gravy has a damn mullet! Lol

I dont think you pronounce the s.

Disagree with you there. Fastbreaks are about fast twitch, vision, and court awareness. Vasquez is more cerebral and methodical. There's a place for him. And it's in half court offense. But he's not going to be a guy you ask to run up tempo. Things happen too fast for him and he's playing behind the 8 ball.

[joetzeng]

Wow Aminu.... Airball machine

[neworleanshoo]

I never expected to be so into a preseason game.

this year's gonna be fun.

[wopester]

anderson with the dagger

[RaisingTheBar]

Yeh people are going to look bad at the acquisition of ryno and say damn why we didn't go get him?

[HornetGuru]

ryno is good

[PelsFan2313]

Anderson with the dagger.

Such a fun game. I'm sure I'll watch it again multiple times.

This will be one fun season.

Even though its just preseason, I was kinda dreading this one.

I wil continue to dread the Saints game Sunday night and hope for similar results.
