Did we ever find out who didnt vote for Kemba for 1st team all big east back in 2011? Was it really Cronin or was that just an easy target for Calhoun? That shit baffles my mind

33 points and 10 assists in the Hornets' 3rd straight win. And 2 turnovers for a 5:1 Assist to turnover ratio.

This is the Kemba Walker I thought we'd see in the NBA. It looks like he's really solidifying himself as a top point guard.
 
And another monster game tonight, beating the pelicans. Which is a lousy name for a franchise. Might as well call them the yard goats or something.

Anyway, Kemba with what's become kind of his norm of late. 33/7/7.
50% from the field, 50% from 3. Only 75% from the line though (12 f 16).
2 steals and 0 turnovers.

his numbers are bananas. He is doing what lillard is doing with no hype
 
On a tangential note, I've discovered that there are no more delusional people on the internet than Jeremy Lin fans, who hate, hate, hate Kemba with the sort of hatred normally reserved for religious turmoil in the Middle East. In their world, Lin has to sit so that Clifford can play his pet, who is vastly inferior in every way. You might not realize it, but today it was Lin's 2 baskets at the start of the 4th that were the reason for the win, and yet he was pulled for no reason so Kemba could be the hero. (They also think Jrue scored all 38 of his points on Kemba, even though Kemba spent most of his time guarding Toney Douglas.)

Answer: Asians

Why: Because there are 3 billion of them and Lin is the only one who is tall enough to play basketball.

Lin fans on hornets forums /sites are insufferable . Entering the season they believed Lin would usurp Walker as the pg Ha! Really good observation gurley... The funny thing is they don't even realize lamb is a more valuable player.

The hornets fan base don't even care for lamb , which is insane. He is one of the best back up sg's in the NBA via many metrics; real plus minus , value added , and offensive stats like PER. Man how awesome is it lamb and walker are reaching their peak on a playoff team ... Drummond is in their heels!
 
@James post reminded me to ask if anyone knows why Lamb's play time has dropped significantly lately? He's been getting like 15 mpg for a few weeks now.

This meme is GOAT status , but man was Yao good when healthy. Supreme skill and gobs of swag. Also a great , humurous guy.. Globally the guy did more for the league than ANYBODY.

I just remember Yao barking at Chris Kaman saying he couldn't check him --


Boss

Well Courtney Lee is a really good two way player at the shooting guard slot. Honestly he's one of my favorite guys in the league because of his two way ability and 'role acceptance'. He's also a great great catch n shoot guy.

Having said that , lamb is clearly way more talented. He just has serious issues guarding bigger thicker players and he often is careless on weakside d.

The cha coaching staff knows how good lamb is ( unless they are asanine ; lamb is playing like the second best back up sg in the lesgue) so he'll be getting minutes on a contender. That's very nice for a 23 year old.

How sick would it be if Kemba drives this team to be an actual contender (not talking this year per se)? THAT is truly the sign of greatness. Like JC bringing UCONN to the promised land.

Crazy thing is, I don't watch much NBA, but there's things going on right now I can't ignore. Seth Curry is making me tune in--have to see that. The Celtics (technically my team) underachieving all for one and one for all thing is making me tune in. And Kemba's ascension has me catching the odd Charlotte game when I can. Pretty cool.

You also meant Steph Curry - unless you meant that you enjoy tuning in to the 12th man on the Kings.

Yes, thanks for the 2nd correction. I'm clearly not an NBA guy. A double dum@ss.

Was at the Hornets game last night. Kid is clearly having fun playing and its showing. That and the Hornets have finally surrounded him with talent who can actually score from multiple places on the floor. Kemba's rise is a direct reflection of 1. his hard work and 2. the additions of Batum/Lamb/Lee/Kaminsky/Hawes etc. Guys who space the floor and allow Kemba to get to the rim with space to operate, which in turn has given him more space to get his jumpers off on O.

Great team win and the Hornets have won 5 in a row. Hope he keeps it up
