    Abbreviated game preview for tonight. Totally my fault on this one:

    Our last game: Great Success! against an overmatched DEN squad, the offense went off 116-100.

    Their last game:Charlotte fell to 0-3 on the road following Sunday's 107-92 loss to the previously winless Los Angeles L*kers.

    Power Rankings
    NBA.com(19)
    Pace: 94.2 (22), OffRtg: 96.9 (25), DefRtg: 100.5 (10), NetRtg: -3.6 (20)
    Gerald Henderson was been a staple in the Bobcats' rotation for four years, so it's weird to see him riding the pine for the Hornets. But their offense hasn't been so awful with P.J. Hairston on the floor. Lance Stephenson needs to go glass on all his 3-pointers, because Friday's game-winner is the only 3 he's hit all season.

    ESPN.com (17)
    Lance Stephenson was 0-for-7 from long range for the season before banking in that crazy game winner to stun the Hawks. But who else thought that double-OT win, combined with a long-awaited victory over Miami, would have set them up for anything but a beatdown by the lowly Lakers?

    Covers.com(16)
    The Hornets are 1-3 and lucky not to be 0-4. They needed a huge come from behind effort just to beat Milwaukee for their only win of the season.

    I don't think there's a timetable for his return. It's day-to-day.

    See link for more details.

    I heard a suggestion that he might ship the trip to Denver and come back against Brooklyn. Let him rest at home for a few days.

    Trust the medical staff! If Nico needs to sit, they know best. Rather he miss these next two games than others games against better teams.

    The bench is going to have to win this one for us.

    I'm relieved it's day-to-day. Could be better but could also be a lot worse.

    I think the matchup tonight is whoever guards Al Jefferson. He seems to play well against us. Get him in early foul trouble and we should be ok

    Now we'll get to see if the "cupping" treatment really works

    Holy crap. I can't believe we're in the top 10 for benches by any measure!

    These are based on last years shots but might still give an indicator of hot spots for their starters.

    I have firm conviction that we will be one of the better benches in the league. We may not score as many as other teams, but our intangibles will be way up there.

    There is a reason why our bench has been able to sustain or increase leads, even if the bench isn't really scoring.
