re: Hornets are fortunate (next three games)

They will miss curry big time. Jack is a nice player, but much better suited in a sixth man role. A healthy bogut along with lee, curry, and klay thompson makes them VERY formidable. Jack, Landry, Ezili provide a solid 6-8.

Now Portland......they are gonna sink pretty quickly. The minutes are stacking up on their starting 5, as they have the worst bench in the association. Season is so damn rugged, it's gonna wear them down. Both lillard and hickson are playing above their heads right now to boot.
