Good win. Monty played Ryno and Davis down stretch, we got to see GV play off the ball and I'm happy for Brian Roberts (in Luca Brassi from Godfather voice) "may your first child be a masculine child"

I simply don't get it. All the hate to Vasquez after 20pts ( a guy that barely makes 2million bucks)

I take the blame for the Vasquez hate. I am a fan of his (Hornets first, GV second), and I am sure to defend him when people forget he is playing on a cheap contract, young in the league, playing over his head, and outperforming his stats.

GV is playing well over the worth of his contract i'll give him that. He tires hard, its nothing personal, i'd just rather a different starting PG, PG's are becoming combo guards and scorers now a day, we need a good defensive PG to match up with rose, lillard, westbrook, kemba, curry, jennings, holliday.

Or for GV to develop a post up game to take these smaller pg's out of their element.

I'm really not hating on Roberts, because he played a needed role tonight, but he was also just 10 makes away from going perfect from the field....

It'd be great if someone was able to pull up his response after Belinelli got us a win against Golden State last year. If he's reacting this way tonight, I can't even begin to imagine what it was like then...

That's what he does, unfortunately.

BTW, I don't wanna hear any Roberts hate from anyone. Dude played like a champ. Great week for B-Rob.

Awesome game to watch though. Loving the production from Miller as well.

Charlotte- McLemore
Orlando- Smart
Washington- Noel
Cleveland- Porter
Sacramento- Bazz/Oladipo/Bennett
New Orleans- Bazz/Oladipo

Heck, if Washington thinks Nene can play C I could see them going Bennett and Cleveland would surely go Noel in that case.

I think we luck out in the lottery again and wind up with the 2nd or 3rd pick and take smart or porter

What do you guys expect when a guard goes up to contest a 7'0 footers alley-oop? Am I the only one not impressed?

It's also running the offense and getting meaningful assists, or hockey assists. Raw stats will not show this.

Our offense struggles because, for this square peg in a round hole offense we run, our point can't consistently break down a defense. Especially in crunch time.

I'm not impressed either. Still feel bad for Brandon. Dude didn't deserve to get done in like that.

I'm actually surprised Jordan didn't use his off arm to push Brandon off. The Clips have become known from using that arm to "climb" defenders or push them off from getting the block.

I love seeing Monty punch AD like that. He was pumped! Maybe he can use that as motivation to play him in the 4th.

Don't know what switch you are talking about, Davis was guarding Lillard before the ball was even in bounded. And it was way more that 2 feet. Davis can cover 2 feet. Maybe 2 yards.

Two feet TOO far. My mistake.

I thought Lillard did a down screen and davis switched to stay with Lillard. They threw it in to the player at the top of the 3pt line. Lillard set another screen on inbounder who ran under the basket. Lillard flares out to 3pt line while Davis is stuck trying to prevent the inside pass.

I can't see the highlight or play again, so this is going off of memory, but that how I thought it went down.
