The Rockets are coming off a loss in their first game without Christian Wood since he came onto the scene and onto half the league. DeMarcus Cousins will start in Woods absence, which is a statement that would have confused the shit out of people 4 years ago. Cody Zeller will most likely come out ahead in the matchup against Boogie, another sentence only made possible by Cousins’ body giving up on him. I believe that the Rockets have been frauds so far this year and that the league will catchup to Christian Wood’s game fairly quickly kind of like Whiteside… People act like he’s a rookie where sky is the limit, which is just not true for the 25 year old. The Hornets are coming off of an easy victory against the shitty Wizards, after losing their previous two games to the top team from each division.

Devonte’ is day to day with his hip injury, so I would guess LaMelo gets the start again in tonight’s game. It will be very intriguing to see if LaMelo stays in the starting lineup once the whole squad is healthy (he should, it’s time). By the way, Tyrese Haliburton fans need to chill the fuck out, he’s not better than LaMelo, and he never will be. At least wait for Tyrese to lead LaMelo in rebounds, assists, steals OR points, all of which he trails Melo in. I’m going to need that to happen before I waste another sentence on that bullshit.

Take advantage of matchups – size wise this is the best matchup we’ve had all year so we better take advantage of that, especially with Wood out.

LaMelo – If LaMelo starts and plays well we win this game.

Houston Keys

2010 Kentucky Wildcats – we’ll see if Boogie and Wall can turn the clocks, Louisville alum Terry Rozier might have something to say about that. (This felt so weird when I made it red)

Prop Bets HugoCLT’s Overall Record (15-7)

PJ Washington OVER5.5points

Victor Oladipo UNDER20.5points

PJ Tucker OVER1.5assists

Players I get worried about playing against: All star Big Men

Exception: Rudy Gobert

There’s nothing less intimidating than a soft t. What are you going to do to us Rudy? Shut down Zeller, oh no please don’t cripple our scoring like that. Yes Rudy plays good defense but I’m with Shaq on this one. I mean the guy has as many 20 point games as he does 4 point games(2). Zeller just needs to take up some space, get a few boards, and that’s a win for us, considering Rudy will be making 46million dollars come the 2025-26 NBA season. Oh shit I just thought of something, has there ever been an NBA team who makes the playoffs with TWO Cody’s on their roster?

*Googles NBA teams with two codys on them* – Ok that was a long shot

*Googles: NBA players named Cody* – No definitive lists, but why tf would there be.

*Googles: List of NBA players who’s first name starts with a C* – alright WTF am I doing here

I’ll have to do this the old fashion way by going to basketball reference and Ctrl+f’ing the shit out of the last name lists. Ok I’m through last names that start with the letter F and am still at ZERO, wtf is going on here. Ayyo , my first hit, fucking Cody Martin. Starting to think Zeller and Martin are the only Cody’s in league history.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, according to basketball reference, Cody Zeller and Cody Martin are the only two Codys in the history of the NBA. That is a big time mindfuck.

So yea the Jazz game… The fun part about this game will be that both teams play a “team” game. The Hornets lead the league in assists while the Jazz divvy up their scoring in all sorts of different ways. Bojan is someone who could be a real difference maker because he can rip trips, and would be the second tallest player on our team. I normally would not be that worried about him because PJ matches up pretty well against him but he’s still out with a sprained foot. Hopefully Terry being back in the lineup will give us enough of a boost to beat the top team in the west(by record, stfu Lebron/Laker stans).

Charlotte Keys

Get out and run – Hornets tend to turn the ball over if they try to push transition too much but if they get out and run tonight it could nullify Gobert’s defensive prowess.

Monk – I’m looking for the steamy moist Monk to have a big game tonight. That combined with Terry’s production being back could be enough for a dub.

Utah Keys

Bojan – See above

Guard Defense – Jazz are the #3 defensive team in the league and if they can force our young guards to give it up we might be hosed.

Prop Bets HugoCLT’s Overall Record (13-6)

Rudy Gobert UNDER13.5points (-125)

Miles Bridges OVER11.5points (-120)

Cody Zeller OVER 2.5assists (+145)

Bucks-114 Hornets-126 [Wrap-up]

Another 6 Hornets had double digits and BOOM the Hornets upset the Bucks somewhat confidently. The Hornets came out wet from three, hitting 8 out of their 11 in the first quarter. That’s a ridiculous ass clip to shoot at but in order to beat one of the best teams in the league that’s what we had to do and did. We were out to a 20 point lead at one point, before Giannis euro stepped his way through our defense and to the foul line 50ish times. Terry Rozier rolled his ankle on the last play in the second quarter and the Hornets went into the half up 4.

LaMelo got his first chance to start a half this year and did not let that shit go to waste. He shot 5-7 in the second half and was driving to the hoop at will. The game seemed to slow down for LaMelo as he sized up which defenders he was going to blow by and if he was going to finish at the rim or dish it out. Hayward was consistent all night long and got some difficult buckets that helped slow down some of the Bucks Giannis fueled runs. Devonte’ and LaMelo were able to hold the Bucks off in the fourth with some clutch defense by the rook.

-Another dope highlight oop from LaMelo to (sky)miles

-Monk is really starting to get his feel back and playing well at a perfect time because Terry will probably be out for a bit

-Caleb Martin was ⅔ and made a great defensive play in a big moment in the game. He brought some energy and played about as well as you could expect from him

-Gordon put up 27 and acted as a steady option when it turned into a half court game

-LaMelo had 4 steals, 2 of them in crunch time. They were great effort plays and it was great to see he still had the juice late in the 4th quarter

-Bobby Portis almost had us there but not quite
