lol... FSN talking about the bench missing RYNO... had Roger Mason's #s... had Robin Lopez's head in the graphic

Barclays center looks so crazy. I gotta catch a game there one day.

Looks like CJ Watson is starting instead of Joe Johnson.

Brooklyn Nets ‏@BrooklynNets
C.J. Watson will start alongside @DeronWilliams - Gerald Wallace - @ReggieEvans30 - Brook Lopez #BKNvsNOH

Joe Johnson apparently out for the Nets... FSNO said in pregame

Jennifer Hale‏@JenHale504
Joe Johnson out for Brooklyn Nets tonight as they take on the @Hornets

I'm feeling optimistic since that last game.

Monty said in pregame interview that team wanted Amundson like 2 weeks ago... but he signed w/ Chicago so Hornets signed Sims to a 10-day

I guess that makes things even.

Johnson didn't play last meeting either and they still won.

This time BKN is on a tail end of a b2b.

What's up guys!!!! Can we get 2 in a row?? I think we can. I finally just got my pelicans hat in the mail which I ordered rt when they went on sale on nbastore.com. Very nice hat I love it!!! I got the Ccbb logo hat. Love that logo it's my fav.

And now Deron Williams is playing like he should.

Let's hope Gordon plays like he should tonight.

Man I can't get the FSNO feed. I like listening to Joel Myers and David Wesley.

Nice! Sorry they didn't have the AD jersey you wanted in the team store. :(

Did they reall just blow that whistle that friggin late?? I mean really?? It's gonna be 1 of those night again huh? Smdh

It sucks that Williams is big they can afford to put Wallace on Gordon and Williams on Aminu

I'm actually very happy they didn't cause of the rebrand lol. Now I can just wait n get our pelicans jerseys. Ended up working out for the best.

U guys that can't watch the n.o telecast. How are u watching the game?? Nbalp?

WOAH... AD slams it back in w/ authority

Davis with the semi poster.

OMG davis, that was ruthless.

Man Lopez is so slow footed...

I like watching the Lopez's go at it.

This is great watching brothers play each other and at the same position too!!!!! 1st time for me seeing sumn like that.

2 quick turnovers. Gonna be a long one.

C'mon ad u have to put a body on the rebounding machine Evans.

They put gerald wallace on gordon, why dont we ever do smart defensive things like this?

Davis is letting Evans outwork him.

Reasons

ok... Reggie Evans has 6 rebounds... in 5 minutes

Getting killed on the boards, but not letting them score.

I'm not sure how he's supposed play "like he should" when he's only gotten 1 touch in 5 minutes of play. It's literally laughable how Vasquez freezes out Gordon.

i hate reggie evans man

You can hope that if you want to but I'm not in the mood for getting my hopes up. :hihi:

Do people still think Vasquez is a starting PG for this team?

C'mon hornets dam. I have a bad feeling about this game just by their body language out there.

Evans outworks lots of guys. Surely it should be no surprise he'd outwork a lightweight rookie.

The thing that often gets me though is when you're playing a team that played the night before, why don't we ever seem to have MORE energy than the other team?

As long as he is the fourth or fifth best starter, sure.

Davis has 3 blocks. Someone needs to pick up evans when Davis rotates over and plays good help defense.

No need to cause they've already said the kids only at 80% and that's why he fades in the 2h in many games. Gordons game will be just fine as long as he stays healthy which is looking pretty good so far. He needs this offseason to get into bball shape.

Evans going to finish with a 20-20 tonight if Davis don't do something.

Which won't happen therefor he will be traded or moved to the 2nd unit. Demps has already stated upgrading the pg spot is a top priority this offseason.

Lopez gets over Evans for a put back

Davis has been rotating over for poor perimeter defense. He has 3 blocks. Lopez or Aminu needs to collapse and box out, when davis rotates.

R. LOPEZ ANNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDD 1111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shet I thought we had a female on our team for a sec. Lol

Alright Lou, let's see what you got

Admundson on Evans... Good call Evans. Also very nice rotation, but refs love that brooksie lopez...

EJ w/ a blow by.... that was nice
