Rod’s gonna put some boots in asses during the break. Andersen trying to keep us in it.

Welp… knew that was coming.

Fourth line is going again, that’s nice to see.

Anaheim looks faster right now. It would be nice to get out of the period ahead. I suspect Rod won’t be happy even if we are up.

Started slow but looks like we’ve woken up a tad. Props to Freddie for those early saves.

Definitely think KK is more comfortable at center.

Necas with some absolute filth… I need to go take a shower. No way Bear was going to miss that one.

There’s absolutely no one at this game.

Going to be a battle but this is the best line-up we’ve iced all season.

I personally like McDaniels more than P.J. He’s on a cheaper contract and he just looks like a more impactful player. If P.J. isn’t scoring he doesn’t seem to provide a whole lot. It would be nice if the Hornets could use P.J. to upgrade the center position.

DON’T LOOK NOW… The past two days couldn’t have gone any better for the Hornets. Yesterday - 76ers loss Today - Hornets Win, Knicks Loss, Cavs Loss Current Eastern Conference Standings 1. Wizards 2. Bulls 3. Nets 4. Heat 5. HORNETS 6. Cavaliers —————— 7. Knicks 8. 76ers 9. Celtics 10. Raptors —————— *Bulls could be in first by the end of the night with a win over the Trail Blazers*

Here’s your ball game right here. Harrell and Gafford in the first half - 25 points Harrell and Gafford in the second half - 10 points We locked down their bigs in the second half and with the Wizards only shooting 19% from three that effectively finished them. Shoutout to Nick Richards, Kelly Oubre, and Cody Martin who brought the defense in the second half.

For me it’s more about the rim protection… buttttt… if Richards can protect the rim like he did in the second half then maybe it’s not necessary.

Yep, I live in Orlando and have seen him play a few times. He’s been solid this year. Issue for him is that Wendell Carter has been better. From what I’ve heard, it’s unlikely that he’ll be in the Magic’s future plans but he’ll definitely command a big market from playoff contenders. Magic will want young players back with term along with some draft picks.

It wouldn’t be cheap but I think this is one situation where being a divisional opponent wouldn’t matter that much. I think they’ll take the best offer for Bamba and I don’t expect him to fetch the same type of return that Myles Turner would. I’d suspect P.J. Washington, Nick Richards, and the protected first round pick from New Orleans (which will certainly become two seconds) would get the job done. Magic could roll with a lineup of Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Issac, P.J. Washington, and Wendell Carter with Hampton, Ross, F. Wagner, M. Wagner, and Richards coming off the bench. Hornets could roll with Ball, Rozier, Hayward, Bridges, and Bamba with Smith, Martin, Oubre, McDaniels, and Plumlee coming off the bench. Rest of the bench would be made up of Bouknight, Jones, and Carey.

Unlikely, he’s on an expiring deal and the Magic aren’t competing for the playoffs. Not saying the price wouldn’t be high but since he’s on the last year of his deal it wouldn’t prevent the Magic from trading him within the division. Magic will just take the best offer for him.

We’re going to have to trade for a big. Mo Bamba from Orlando is going to be a hot candidate, I’d be interested to see what they would want from us.

Whalers night usually includes a poster. I have the one from two years ago when Reimer shutout the Kings.

I think we have a solid squad but I also think we have a ridiculous difficult schedule this year… it’s unfortunate that it played out like this. We currently have the fifth most difficult schedule in the NBA and are the only team with a winning record out of those five teams.

***Checks clock*** Let’s do it again tomorrow!

We poo all down our leg for two minutes and now the games tied. Tell Slavin that if we don’t win we’re taking him to the strip club… guaranteed victory.

Official Line-Up Svech - Aho - Jarvy Turbo - Trocheck - Necas Nino - Staal - Fast Marty - KK - Lorentz Slavin - Bear Skjei - DeAngelo Smith - Cole Raanta Andersen Scratched: Stepan Injured: Pesce

Brandt has always been a believer of the Panthers, it’s a nice change of pace from most of the main stream medium. Hell, Bradshaw and Cowturd didn’t even know we had a team before Darnold.

Here’s the kicker… why pay Darnold $9M when you can pay Trubisky $3M? No one is going to want Darnold even at $9M unless a second or third is attached to him. Back up QB’s don’t make $9M a year…

Not saying this will be an easy win, after all, it’s a west coast road trip… but… Vegas has injuries all over their roster. We need to take advantage and put together a nice string of wins here. Our division is starting to tighten up.
