Match-Up: Charlotte Bobcats vs. New Orleans Hornets

If the Cats are going to get there 8th win, they aren't going to get a better opportunity than tonight. The Bobcats are bad, but the Hornets are worse. Both teams will be tired, they are both coming off of losses last night and luckily tonight; someone has to win (hopefully it's the Cats). The Cats pretty much have a match-up advantage at every position so expect them to use everyone on the offensive and defensive end tonight.

Notes:

  • Five of the Bobcats seven wins have come at home this year.
  • I believe this is one of the first times that the Panthers and Bobcats have played opponents from the same city in a back to back situation.
  • Interesting Stat: Nine of the players tonight played at three schools (Duke: Austin Rivers, Lance Thomas, Gerald Henderson),(Connecticut: Kemba Walker, Ben Gordon, Jeff Adrien), (Kentucky: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Anthony Davis, Darius Miller).
  • Kidd-Gilchrist and Davis only lost two games at Kentucky, in the NBA they have a combined 45 losses and a combined 1-25 in the month of December.
  • Ben Gordon scored 34 points the last time the Bobcats played the Hornets and he averages 22.1 points per game against them (his best against any team).
  • The Hornets have won three straight games in Charlotte.

All Time Record: Bobcats (5) Hornets (12)

Key to Victory: Exploit all match-ups: Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, and MKG all have very favorable match-ups tonight.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
