The Hornets tried to come back against the Blazers with MKG 1st game back (impressive 13pts/7rebs) after overcoming shoulder injury and Tyler Hansbrough inspired plays (12pts, 13rebs in 22 min) but fell short. Batum is out again after playing badly (1-11 shooting) with recurring injury. Kemba is listed as day-to-day and JLin is even listed as questionable Would Clifford finally give Hansbrough reg... »
The Hornets were exhausted and lost the Utah game after the 2OT win against the Kings. And the worse situation was to have JLin reinjure his ankle and not return to the game. He was seen wearing an ankle boot but walking on his own after the game. How would the Hornets play with Kemba and Batum as the main playmakers? Would Kemba play reduced minutes after a failed bid to get him selected to the A... »
JLin has hit his stride to orchestrate team-offense with 11 assists to help the Hornets get 3 winning streak but Kemba ISOs dominated the 4th quarter and OT at the expense of team-ball. It’s good that JLin can connect with a hot-shooting Troy Daniels for the winning 3pt shot in the 2nd OT Will JLin be allowed to continue to orchestrate the offense so the Hornets can play a winning team-ball?... »

In an amazing 19pt comeback, Kemba led the Hornets to beat the Magic with 40pts/9asts/7reb in a 120-116 OT Win Kemba/Hawes/Roberts played so well to lead the comeback.

Batum and Zeller had to come out with injuries as the Thunder blew out Hornets 109-95 JLin finished with 16pts/2asts with 6-11 shooting.

He mostly played SG so he didn’t have a chance to orchestrate offense even with the 2nd unit as Brian Roberts played the PG. As usual, the big men couldn̵... »

Or will they resor... »
