Hornets vs. Thunder: Pregame Primer

by Royce Young on December 12, 2012 at 3:42 pm 1,518 Comments

vs.

New Orleans Pelican Hornets (5-15, 2-6 road) vs. OKC Thunder (17-4, 11-2 home)

TV: FSOK (Cox 37, HD 722, Tulsa Cox 27, DirectTV 679, UVerse 754)
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 7:00 CT

Offensive Rating: Thunder – 113.9 (1st), Hornets– 102.3 (21st)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 103.57 (10th), Hornets – 109.4 (28th)
Pace: Thunder – 92.2 (12th), Hornets – 88.6 (29th)

View from the enemy: Hornets 24/7

The Thunder have played the Hornets twice in the last two weeks or so, but they haven’t played the Pelicans yet. But considering the way the first two meetings went — both in New Orleans — there’s a good chance even with a name change nothing is going to be all that different.

Thing about that is, it’s pretty hard to blow an NBA team out three straight times. Even one as bad as the Hornets. They do have Anthony Davis back though, which obviously makes them better. Still, this isn’t a talented Hornets roster and as long as the Thunder show up, at least a little bit, it should be a game on cruise control in the fourth quarter.

New Orleans coming in: The Hornets just lost to the Wizards last night.

Three Big Things

1. Show up.

2. Try.

3. Don’t play terrible.

Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Nine.

Tough stretch of games to end the month of December for Okc. A 9 game winning streak on the line too that only adds to the incentive of beating the Thunder.

A makeup call no-call right before the half. No way Jefferson had that foul coming from Duncan so they skipped the next one. Bestas  I can figger.

Oh man, that was a nice play the Warriors ran to beat the Heat at the end there. Wish Brooks ever had the guts to try something like that in a late game situation instead of just contested 30 footers.

 @OBoy Jones III  @Old Man Game You have to run plays like that if you have the roster like GS.

 

If you have KD, well there's your play.

 @Tronchaser  @Skyline  @OBoy Jones III I'll take Serge or Thabo or Reggie or even Maynor wide open from a foot away from the goal over KD from 25 feet every day of the week.

 @OBoy Jones III Did you see the play I'm talking about? It was really slick. Used the shooters as decoys. Let a role player get open for a point blank lay-in.
