So Napier starts, plays the first 7-8 minutes, shoots 1/2, 3 points, probably should have had an assist on a missed shot. Hits the bench and I dont think he returned until the Heat are down 20+ points in the 4th quarter. Whiteside has like 10 points and 17 rebounds at the HALF, and barely plays in the second half. Even Hubie Brown was questioning why Napier/Whiteside sat.

Because you can't bench Chalmers or Cole when they're shooting a combined 4-21.
 
Drummond with a double-double at halftime. 12 pts, 11 rebounds.
 
Bazz with the start. Drummond with 13 and 13. Gordon was a DNP- what's going on with him? Tomorrow it's Rudy and CV
 
.-.
Bazz's last four games he has shot the ball very poorly but he has 19 assists and only 3 TOs. That's a step in the right direction.

Yeah it seems he doesn't want to step on anyone's toes and just run the offense and not look for his shot. I think bc of wade and bosh being in his team. If he can't play like he wants Id like to see him on the knicks lol. But good thing is that everytime he passes to bosh its usually an assist.
 
Pistons at hornets tonight. Up 5 with 9 left in the second.
 
Napier with a good start to the game at the half Now 27 Assists to 3 TOs in 5.5 Febuary games.

I hate him on the heat. They bury him in the corner every time. Get him off and put him on a team where he can do what we know he can do

start of the fourth, bazz has six points, 7 assists, 1 turnover, and 2 rebounds... any other guys playing tonight?
 
Bazz with 18, 7, 6, and 7 turnovers(i didnt see them so idk what kind they were)... drummond with 18 and 20...charlie with 13 and 4... rudy with 28, 5, 4... caron with 20, 4, 3, 4
 
I take it Ray is retired, pretty late in the game now to come back.
 
Hornets are on now, is kemba back? Drummond and Caron on at 8. Also heat play at 8. Is Bazz in the lineup bc due to dragic being there?

Kemba is back later this month. The date being mentioned is 3/15/15.

Kemba on espn right now

His career really is sort of at one of those hinge moments this offseason. I could see a scenario where at this time next year, he is an All-Star taking his team to the playoffs, and I could also see one where Charlotte goes in another direction and he is no longer a starting point guard.

I agree unfortunately. Luckily what Kemba has going for him is that MJ seems to like him and his winning attitude, and he is largely responsible for turning the culture of that franchise around in the last 5 years or so. Hopefully that is enough to get the Hornets to keep believing in him. He has to bring his %s up though, better teammates would certainly help.

stephenson really screwed that team up... the need to get some pieces in the offseason... kemba also needs to start calling his own number when he can, hes capable of it

Just a single knock down 3pt shooter would open up that cluttered offense so much, and probably raise Kemba's FG% up a couple points as well as his AST numbers. I really, really wanted Lamb to go to Charlotte in that rumored 3 team trade with OKC and Brooklyn before it fell apart. A Lamb and Kemba backcourt would have been awesome.
 
This year, Lance had the worst 3 point shooting season ever for a player with > 100 attempts. This is the exact opposite type of player needed next to Kemba. I thought he was very overpaid at the time, but in hindsight, I wish the Hornets made a big push for Hayward.

They offered and signed Hayward to the Max allowed, Utah matched.

Thanks. In retrospect, I was probably annoyed they offered Hayward the max.
 
Probably one of you just made me look stupid on Twitter for forgetting about Charlie (Tyler's fault), but anyway, there's been at least one UConn player in the NBA playoffs every year since 1990. So 26 straight, now.
