The Hornets are struggling to try to get the last playoff spot in the East. It will be interesting to see how Booker follows up his 70 point performance. This is an early game!

Go Suns!!!

Noon for me. I'll try to remember but chances are I'll forget. It's right after baseball clinic for my son.

I'm worried Booker might have a bit of a let down game today. Although, how he handles it is going to tell us a lot about him. Will he be a bit more passive? Will he force it if he doesn't have it going? Or will he just get 20 shots in the flow of the game? Very interested to see how he responds after all the attention, a lot if which hasn't been positive.

Would love to see him get like 20 on 8/13 shooting with 7 or 8 assists.

I'd love to see him get 50 on 15-20 shooting, with 11 assits and 10 boards.

He had 6 assists on Friday. Also 8 boards, 3 steals and 1 block.

Bender! He's alive!

Didn't sound like he was going to play though.

Off to a great start ... down 0-8.

update. 30-7.

So many stupid turnovers trying to force passes in the paint.

Haha, true. I was trying to be realistic, but I guess 70 points wasn't realistic either.

WTF super early game.

Booker has regressed to the mean, and then some; 3 points on 1-5 shooting, and it's halfway through the 2nd quarter.

Photoshopped

Looks like the long road trip and short bench has drained all the energy out of this team.

Got to love the way Chriss handles contact. Like the complete opposite of Len.

Chriss with some atrocious defense this game.

Yeah, don't put any limits on this kid.

Well, at least they have brought the score a little closer and sort of made a game of it.

There is a really good chance we lose the rest of our games. Hopefully we do. Catching the Lakers could be big.
The games we have left that we could possibly win are Portland, Mavs, and Kings. The rest look like for sure losses.

Lakers don't have a lot of easy opponents the rest of the way. T-wolves twice, Portland, Kings and then the Pelicans. They could easily lose the rest of the games.

There is also an super small chance the Nets give up the #1 spot. They are playing better with Lin back and they play a lot of bad teams to close out the season.
They are up like 10 on Atlanta with like a minute to go. A win today would put them at 16 wins. We are currently at 22. Time to rest Booker?

ATL - 16 wins
