Fug you all.. Hurney, DG and Shula..

Hornets now have made it through the 2 rough months and are playing decent ball now going into the easier part of their schedule.. everyone is healthy and I hope it stays that way.. Monk and Bacon still aren't getting solid PT but whatevs.. I'm not thinking playoffs right now - just need to collect some wins against scrubs and get back to .500.. every game in January is more than winable.. we just came off a Westcoast trip that was excellent, IMO.. to gather a W against the Warriors - @ Oracle!?! that might be the catalyst to jump start our season..

Dwight is playing great and so are Lamb and Kemba.. Marvin is still shooting over .400 for 3pt range.. Frank has been filling it up but very inconsistent and ineffiecient at times..

MKG has been a pleasant surprise in his shot making:

Batum needs to get back in the groove.. he's shooting under .300 from 3pt range.. just terrible.. 
but his numbers are improving since he has been back (small sample size, i know):

I don't know what the season holds for us - maybe a swap of deck chairs at the trade deadline could help but probably not.. I never forsee us getting a big name at the deadline - so Real help is probably not coming.. I have put the Panthers in the rear view and in the full swing of Bball now.. hopefully a better 2nd half of the year..

Hornets have a coaching issue just like the Panthers.

There is no reason this team isn't top 4 in the East with the talent, it's all coaching.

i'm not fully on board with a coaching change - Clifford & Co. is so much better than the past 4 coaches we have had here (Dunlap, Silas, Brown, Vincent).. - but i'm listening to the rumblings you speak of..

They're not a top 4 team....not as long as MKG and and Batum are on the team....or at least asked to start.

MKG has been fine this year actually.    He's about what we expect.    I definitely haven't been a MKG super fan but he's fine, he is NOT the issue.

Batum, yes.

But Clifford just not playing young guys is stupid.    His rotations never make sense either.    There's no reason this team shouldn't be above .500.

The man can't shoot.  In no way does he extend a defense.  He has his good moments and he's fine coming off the bench as a role player in defensive possessions.. To think though, that he's the answer as a full time starter I just don't see it.  MKG has been in the league awhile now, there isn't much ceiling left.

I'm not saying that he doesn't have strengths.  He's a good defender.  A good rebounder, and at times he drives to the basket well.  Ultimately...you just have to be able to shoot.  If you can't hit the 3 as a SF in the NBA...you've got no business starting.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
