The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted November 21, 2014 Hornets vs. Magic 7 p.m., Time Warner Cable Arena Projected Starters MAGIC G Victor Oladipo 12.3 ppg 5.0 rpg G Evan Fournier 17.3 ppg 2.4 rpg F Tobias Harris 18.9 ppg 7.8 rpg F Channing Frye 10.3 ppg 5.8 rpg C Nicolas Vucevic 18.8 ppg 11.9 rpg HORNETS G Kemba Walker 14.5 ppg 4.0 rpg G Gerald Henderson 5.0 ppg 2.5 rpg F Lance Stephenson 9.6 ppg 9.1 rpg F Marvin Williams 6.6 ppg 3.1 rpg C Al Jefferson 20.7 ppg 6.8 rpg Matchup to Watch Al Jefferson vs. Nikola Vucevic: Vucevic had some success defensively against Jefferson last season. The bulkier centers who can body up Jefferson tend to do better than the jumping jacks who bite on Jefferson’s shot fakes. Observations • The Hornets are 2-0 so far in the Southeast Division with wins over Atlanta and Miami. The Magic has one more victory than the Hornets, but all five of Orlando’s wins are over likely lottery teams. • Tobias Harris looks like a candidate for Most Improved Player. He’s already had five games of 20 or more points. Tap-ins • The Hornets will likely get back Gary Neal (concussion) this game. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (stress reaction in right foot) and P.J. Hairston (ankle sprain) are still out. • The Magic has an intriguing rookie in Elfrid Payton, a point guard with huge defensive potential. Did you know? The Magic is the top 3-point team in the NBA this season, shooting 41.6 percent outside the arc.

TreyMachine 395 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 I haven't been able to watch, but the box score suggests we're doing poorly. We currently sit on 3 assists for the half and 12 points in the second quarter. Is this really as ugly as it looks? What are we doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janders 102 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Ugly half. No ball movement, too many isos. 0/5 from the 3 point line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Oladipo is awful at PG. AWFUL. He literally can't run the offense if his defender sticks to him. And we can't hit a three to save our lives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
