- The Spurs are on the 2nd half of a back-to-back after losing to the Warriors last night. They will be focused, as always - but a bit tired.
- This will be the 1st game of a 4 game road trip (Spurs, Timberwolves, Knicks, Celtics).
- MCW could be available to play (but per Cliff - only in case of emergency injury).
- MKG left game early with illness. Should be back tonight but something to watch for.

This will be an interesting one... and something has got to give.

Hornets are playing great ball right now and the Spurs are on a 4 game losing streak. Pop HAS NEVER lost 5 games in a row.

The good news is that there is a chance, the Spurs had a pretty late game last night and their big name players played big minutes.

Based on minutes played, the Hornets top 10 players on paper look better than the Spurs top 10 players, I believe this game will 100% come down to coaching. If Clifford can keep it together the Hornets stronger roster should be able to get the win.

Top 10 Player's Based Off Minutes Played

Hornets: Walker, Howard, Lamb, Kaminsky, Williams, Bacon, Monk, Zeller, Graham, Kidd-Gilchrist

Spurs: Aldridge, Green, Anderson, Gasol, Murray, Mills, Gay, Ginobli, Lauvergne, Paul

It's time to find out what this team is made

This is a fun team to watch! With all the poo happening in the NFL politics wise, I’m really enjoying this refreshing start to the NBA season. Much more entertaining IMO. Let’s go Hornets!!!

Agreed.  I do not care about the NFL politics-wise, that is a red herring, but the sport is boring to me anymore.

This team really excites me though in a way I have not cared about NBA in almost twenty years

    • The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.
    • Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.   
    • Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
