Hunter will be back within a couple games. Dunn, I'll believe it when I see it.

Rondo and Schröder have very similar body types.

I remember everyone comparing Dennis to Rondo when he was here.

I figured it was strictly based on their body, long arms, slim frame, broad shoulders, etc.

"He’s always been a great defensive coach and you can just tell. You can just tell what good coaching and defense does, especially out there, it’s a little bit night and day. I feel like in that first game we were able to get in the paint and kind of get whatever we wanted… They made us play, for the most part, a lot of the game, 1-on-1. Nate’s done a good job and they’re winning eight straight." (The Lakers’ Kyle Kuzma on how different the Hawks look under McMillan)

That game will be exactly 6 weeks since his surgery.

Hawks win. Fakers lose and Lebron gets hurt. Its kinda like a win/win/win for me. Not to wish injury on someone or anything but if it had to be someone in today's game...

[Vol4ever]

The team seem to be really upbeat and playing hard.  Very happy to have a real coach.

Dont glorify injuring a player. That's not classy. It also gives gives the team bad juju.

It's hard to win an afternoon game the day after travel to the West Coast.... Now they will have a little more time to acclimate and hopefully play with a little more energy and shoot better vs Clippers.....

Our entire team is a juju.

And with the way Lebron's ankle went in, he's lucky it's not broken.

 

I've been leading the charge to have Solo benched since January.  The 2 coaches see value in him.  Now look at what happened.  He took down Lebron on a clumsy play.

I hope he recovers, if not for anything, but because he's on my struggling fantasy team.  If he goes down for any length of time, I'm done.  So I'm definitely not rooting or celebrating Lebron being out.

Sucks LeBron went down. I wanted to see this team beat the Lakers without there being any excuses. But a win is a win regardless, so on to the next one.

A Clippers win tonight is a great sign. Not just because its the Hornets, but because the Clippers have not won 2 games in a row since Valentines day weekend. Its been over a month. A win sets up our game to continue the trend.
