[Chris Craig]

Second of a back to back

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I wonder what vets we can give a bigger role so we can bench more of our youth....

Maybe Thybulle will start and Camara can get a DNP.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Will be odd if we win a 4th game in a row here. Wonder when that last happened.

 

[THE HCP]

No Curry, Bridges, Miller or Ball….. 4 game win streak?

 

[Chris Craig]

I wonder what vets we can give a bigger role so we can bench more of our youth....

Maybe Thybulle will start and Camara can get a DNP.

Thybulle is still out

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Early Prediction:
Blazers Win...
s2 melts down....

 

[Strenuus]

Taj Gibson on the hornets will be the ultimate "no way, he played for them?!".

 

[B-Roy]

Toumanis mom is white???

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Clingan starting

 

[Cugel]

Kong

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Simons too good already...

 

[KingSpeed]

Clingan with 3 blocks already lol

 

[JDC]

Rest and more time off the knee looks to have done Clingan some good.

Dominant first shift defensively.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Do you notice how much better Clingan is than Ayton on blacking or affecting mid range shots. Ayton, for some reason, will never take that extra step and lets them shoot clean.

 

[Cugel]

16-0 run? Now that’s more like it!!

 

[B-Roy]

Looking good so far

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Walker's weaknesses being exposed today.

 

[MickZagger]

Charlotte’s announcers are comical

 

[illmatic99]

Playing Scoot without a big who can set screens is foolish as hell

 

[Cugel]

Ant really looks smooth out there

 

[B-Roy]

I don’t like Banton if he’s not playing point. You lose all the advantages he brings .

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Who are these Hornets???!!!

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I love how aggressive Deni is but only means something if he can get better from the line cause right now his FT shooting is not good at all.

 

[illmatic99]

This is not fun to watch.

 

[B-Roy]

Clingan is on 5x5 watch

 

[B-Roy]

Jerami must be shooting 0% inside the arc for the season. It sure feels that way.

 

[illmatic99]

Chauncey has completely fucked with Scoot's confidence

 

[KingSpeed]

Billups has really cooled off Scoot and Shaedon, hasn’t he?

 

[KingSpeed]

Jerami must be shooting 0% inside the arc for the season. It sure feels that way.

I think he dunked this game.
