I feel bad for Batum.

The guy had a good year.

If he can't make it back, this is probably the last time we see him in a Hornets uni.

i agree.....

Imagine if they have a healthy Batum and MKG...thats a pair of the best wing defenders in the league....certainly would help considering how horrible they have been defensively in this series...there big men arent good at all defensively- they pretty much suck...

I hope they invest in Batum...id like to see this team with another year under its belt and healthy....Kemba, Batum, MKG, Zeller, Kaminskey, Linn etc...fun and good young team to watch.

Thing for Whiteside is, he will not face a better center than Jefferson from here on out, realistically. Good learning moment if anything.

Jefferson is pretty putrid defensively but he is a throwback type center on the offensive end that can really post up...not many of those left out there that is for sure....assuming the Heat advance- itll be either Valunciunas on the Raptors or Myles Turner/Jordan Hill on the Pacers....neither presents a tough offensive matchup....

Al Jefferson for his size has the best footwork in the history of ever.

Someone tweeted the tnt crew a nickname for Whiteside... "Hassassin". I like that one.

Al or George?

Never heard of him.

That's okay. Pretty sure he's never heard of you either. So, you guys are even.

George

Bosh traveled with the team. First time he has traveled with the team since he's been out

Another Luol Deng game? 12 points already

2 fouls for Goran though. Only good thing is it happened just as Spo usually take him out for his first rest

Charlotte came out fairly strong, but the Heat are handling it well so far.

Yep. I was hoping we wouldn't come out like Atlanta did last night. That was my biggest fear heading into this game.

Hassan also defending Al in the post much better.

Thanks for the update Marv Albert.
