Losing Oubre hurts.

Martin, Washington, McDaniels, and presumably Bouknight are going to have to step up. We need one of them to provide us with Kelly’s 17.0 points per game in order to maintain our current success.

[Captain Morgan]

Melo and now Miles pissed about not getting calls when they drive.  Was a little worried about both but the big lead we have seems to keep the tempers down.

[Captain Morgan]

Gordon with 8 and Rosie with 11 in the first quarter, Hornets lead 28-21

[Captain Morgan]

Eric cracks me up.

 

Dell:  Plum grabs the rebound and puts it in off the glass.

Eric:  Plum-diddley-dee.

Bouknight needs to play, the second unit has no scoring and outside of Rozier and Hayward everyone looks out of sync.

[Captain Morgan]

there was an something of an incident with Portis and and Gordon, when we had the ball and maybe Gordon gave him a forearm or something, I didn't see it, but a whistle blew and Portis got in Gordon's face a little bit.  Gordon smiled, stood his ground and was non-confrontional but the next trip down the court Portis raked Gordon across the face drawing blood.  He had to go into the locker room, but was able to play later.  

 

Now in the last two minutes, Terry drove and Portis blocked the shot but hit Terry in the face, and refs are looking at it for a flagrant.

We need an enforcer.

[Captain Morgan]

wow, Hornets challenge a foul they should have won, but don't get it.

Game tied, Hornets ball with 35 secs to pla

[Captain Morgan]

Melo gets 2 and a how do you do from Eric and Hornets lead by 2 with 7.9 to play.

These refs always with the sketchy calls against the Hornets... LaMelo clutch.

[Captain Morgan]

lol with 3 secs to play, Hornets up 3 and with the ball, we throw it in to Miles and Portis hits him in the face.

Miles hits both free throws, Hornets wins 2 straight against the defending champs and 6 of the last 8, and Portis needs an elbow to the face from someone but we win and as Eric just said, Hornets are hotter than a pepper sprout.

One of two Johnny Cash references he uses.  

[WOW!!]

Lamelo Ball baby!!

Huge win, big game against the Sixers coming up on Wednesday.
