Houston game tonight, road game against a team that lost 20 straight and then won their last one.

With Gordon and our young guys, we should be able to handle them.  Graham gets a chance to lead the team.

Win tonight and get back home

sloppy early on D, and later on O...you can tell they are still getting used to not have Melo, but at least they show signs of more fluid play.  Rozier scoring for us the first half.

Is Hayward ok?...not playing at all in 2nd half?

Foul trouble.  Borrego took him out with 4 fouls midway through 3rd.  Hayward wanted to stay in.  Game got out of hand so Borrego decided to never bring him back in.

Okay.. we sit at 4th in the East.. super hype!!

now this Friday might be the most important game we play so far this season.. we only play the Heat 3 times this year and we already won the first one in OT.. if we win Friday, we will own tie breaker scenario over them and they are they team that will really be fighting for the #4 & #5 spots..

Just looking forward at tiebreakers:
Heat - 1/0 - 2 more left
Hawks - 2/0 - 1 more left - own tiebreaker
Knicks - 1/0 - 2 more left
Celtics - 0/0 - 3 more left
Pacers - 1/1 - 1 upcoming
Bulls - 0/1 - 2 more left

I love this team. Don't trade anybody. I'm so happy for Malik, he's found his niche in the NBA. Dell Curry was a former sixth man of the year. He had a legendary career.

Vernon Cary and Nick Richards got minutes. That's a start. There are your two big men. Coach em' up coach.

[Captain Morgan]

it was great to see the Hornets dominate a team in the 2nd half without Lemelo, and with Gordon not playing much in the 2nd.  It's a good sign.

Our building blocks are strong.  Just need a big man, preferably a vet that get the team into contender status sooner rather than later.

I don't think Oladipo will be ready to play for the Heat by tomorrow night - right?

I doubt it.  It's a win-win for us, he shouldn't be active but Olynyk and Bradley will also be gone.
