Charlotte Bobcats at New Orleans Hornets, Nov. 9

[adam187]

Total revenge game: they stole our team and they stole our first pick. Luckily, we have saddled them with former Duke product Austin Rivers, which will ultimately lead to their demise. Meanwhile Eric Gordon is hanging out with his bro Blake Griffin in Los Angeles, laughing all the way to the bank. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Anthony Davis are famously best friends, and several years from now, when MKG lures Davis to join him in Charlotte, we will realize we made the right choice. But for now, we have tonight, this game, to impose our will on our erstwhile enemies. They can take the Brow, they can take Hugo, but they will never take our freedom.

Ok I don't do vids, but I did find these interesting factoids in an NBA article with the subheading "Scouting the Bobcats":



The Bobcats have been taking care of the ball well through the first three games:

* Charlotte’s 1.75 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks fourth in the NBA.

*Kemba Walker’s 8-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio is second best in the NBA, trailing only Jason Kidd’s 11-to-1.

*In addition, the Cats are forcing 5.7 turnovers per game more than they are committing – the largest differential in the league.

*Charlotte is averaging only 12.0 turnovers, which is tied with New York for the fewest in the league…

*The Cats are also having tremendous success from the charity stripe this season. They are shooting an NBA-best 84.0 percent from the line, while opponents are shooting 67.1 percent – the second-worst in the league…

*Byron Mullens leads Charlotte with eight 3-pointers through three games. Mullens four treys in the third quarter against Phoenix on Wednesday tied a franchise best for 3-pointers in a quarter. Not too shabby.

On the flip...scouting the Whorenuts:


The new-look Hornets are dealing with their fair share of injuries early on in 2012-13. Eric Gordon (knee) is out for the next 4-6 weeks and rookies Anthony Davis (concussion) and Austin Rivers (finger) could both be game time decisions in New Orleans on Friday… David leads the way for the Hornets with 14.5 points while adding 6.5 rebounds and 1.50 blocks but has miss the last two games… Ryan Anderson – another Hornets newcomer in the offseason – is putting up 12.8 points but has yet to find the stroke he had with the Magic last season. He’s shooting 37.5 percent from the field and just 29.6 percent from long range… Still, the Hornets are a gritty bunch that has held their opponents to 86.0 points each contest.

So we're kicking ass protecting the ball, hitting FTs and keeping the other teams from getting the the charity stripe. The BigEasy crowd is hurt but "gritty".

Hope we embarrass the hell out of them.
