Yea I totally understood u I was just adding onto your statement....but yea I'm with u

Now when davis goes out we go down by 7, are we that bad or is davis that good?

Davis is the only person this game who has a positive while on the court at +1, everyone else is at -7 or -8, eek

Porter is not elite. Sorry to burst your bubble. If people describe Davis as elite, no way is porter even close. No one in this draft is close.

Babbit has no life on his shot. Remind me of me, hahaha.

He might not be elite currently but his ceiling is very high and some might consider him an elite prospect. If we can get him at the 3 I think that'd be amazing with his length n scoring ability. He is an all around nice player. Def no players with his ceiling and skills after the 10 spot.

+/- is a bad stat. What you should of looked at is the fact that monty subbed in 4 bench players at once at the timeout after davis's fouls.

We had

Vasquez
Mason
Miller
Thomas
Anderson

on the floor.

I guess a tie at the end of the 1st is good. Was looking like Portland was going to run away with it from the beginning.

Useless stat as last game Davis had 22 18 game and was -10..only hornets player in + was Terrell Harris at + 12 lol

Darius has to stop fouling 3 point shooters or he will find himself back on the bench. C'mon man

Even on his most benign of contests Miller still finds ways to foul people.

Horrible call actually. My bad Darius

Phantom call.

Darius never touched him.

Didn't say elite, i said elite skill set.

Hornets yet to go to the FT line

I like Porter a ton, but he reminds me of a guy like Batum who won't ever hurt you, but probably won't wow you as well. I could be wrong on that assessment since i've only seeing scouting vids.

MONEY MASE FOR 33333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go Roger.

Lilliard looks shaken up, hope he's fine.

MILLER FOR 3333333333333333333333!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

20-3 Hornicans run

Miller!!!

Right. And the Blazers haven't fouled yet. It looked like Ryan was hit on the arm when he took that step back jumper.

Now as I say that Ryan is shooting ft's. Hahaha.

Mason has a spot on a bench for most teams, I think.

Roberts feeds Davis for the lay-in

I think this is actually a better draft than last year. Way more potential this year that's for sure. Last year was top heavy. This year is much much deeper. I'd really like to pick up another mid 1st to grab a big man prospect such as gonzagas big man. That's if we don't get Len and we take a sf or pg. I'm 100% officially on the porter or shabazz bandwagon. I think a scoring sf is def our biggest need.

I'll tell ya what, as frustrating as Roberts is at times he sure knows how to find AD.

It's not like the hornets are taking it to the rim consistently. You don't do that, you won't get calls. with gordon out, we really dont have anyone to drive.

Good offense

Like miller alot

During the All Star festivities I saw him hanging out with Lebron and Wade. Heat bound I think.

Maybe the 11 or 12 spot. Not sure he is in the rotation on MOST teams.

Mason could be killer on the heat

Ya with shabazz you are getting someone who does 2 things: scores from anywhere and a great offensive rebounder
With Porter you get someone who is extremely good defensively, rebounder, basketball IQ and clutch, also he is well above average as a passing SF

Mason is a veteran. I wouldn't be surprised because he can go sit on the bench for a championship, but just because players hand out doesn't mean they are conspiring to join teams. lol

WOW! and i dont mean D Wade

Beautiful lob

hello Roberts to Davis on the thunderous alley-oop

Roberts Lob to Davis!

Look at Roberts feed Davis! Haha figures.

Anderson tried to lob to Davis... Davis didn't get the memo

edit: so this time Anderson bounces it to Davis for the jam

I'd really like to see ad shoot a few 3s lol...he can knock it down

Bwahaha randerson tried to pull a Brian Roberts.

Gravy is playing off ball a lot tonight.
