Excuse the brevity of this post. I’m still a little numb from the Chandler-to-OKC trade.

The Hornets play the Thunder in Oklahoma City at 7pm Central. None of the players involved in the trade are expected to play. OKC are 13-40 on the season, 10-18 at home, and had lost five of seven before the All-Star break.

Important to get a win tonight with the Magic, Lakers and Jazz looming.
