AD with a OREB/Dunk

EG missed a jumper, and got blocked twice.

Our offense is way better than our defense this season, and in this game.

Brook Lopez needs to go to the bench so we can score. I thought we were supposed to have the better defensive lopez.

Thanks for the help guys, it sucks not being able to watch the game. I wish Gordon would be back to his ruthless brute attacking style, i remember his rookie year and sophmore year him posterizing anyone and evryone, even tim duncan twice, but i guess he isnt 100% yet and still getting back to it, he is still young and not in his prime.

We do but when u are playing against ur brother u know his tendencies and brook is the better player, i had a feeling brook was gonna school robin.

Austin looks good so far.

Active defensively and hes made some great decisions on the offensive end.

It's not that. Brook isn't letting a hornet make a layup. I think we have missed/gotten block 4-6 layups already.

Cant wait for him to put on some size. This is his first time ever vs superior competition, he will improve, hard worker, and is playing a brand new position, he will be so good in 3 years in my opinion and our future PG. I really wanna see him EG and davis get chemistry they will be a deadly trio.

Way to finish that layup Rivers

He's vastly improved in the help side defense department from years past.

Thats what he needs, looks to be a natural facilitator, can get to the rim, create for himself and others, just needs the minutes and getting used to a new position at PG, i like him a lot.

Not sure if EJ will be here long-term, but I envision Rivers' role in a few years to be similar to that of your vision.

The guys are playing lazy on defense so far. What's so hard about playing hard for only millions of $$$$?

How did gordon score?

Yeah. I can't take Roberts anymore. What's he good for other than dribbling down the shot clock and throwing up a prayer? Even though he makes the prayer 60% of the time.

Breakaway layup.

2 quick fouls for Hornets 30 seconds into the 2nd Quarter...

Thanks, and i agree with gordon, but if we do move him i think it would be better to get a SG who can create for himself like shabazz or someone o that nature than mclemore, mclemore can score but is more of an off ball guy. Only guy that can create that we have is gordon and rivers, we would be in trouble offensively if we lost gordon without an adequate replacement.

Wow. Humphries outhustling 3 Hornets twice for a rebound. Can the Hornets play any softer than they're playing right now?

Down 16.
