Hive Talk Live: Big Al's flagrant fowl

Al Jefferson (4:00) has supposedly slimmed down after giving up Popeye's fried chicken. That's no way to earn an endorsement deal. We'll discuss that and the talk that Big Al's role in the offense will be scaled down. Is it a sign the Hornets are moving up or moving on?

(51:53) We released our final Summer Video Breakdown and it has sparked some good discussion in the comments section Jeremy Lin's defense. Can he be the ball stopper from the perimeter that the Hornets look to off the bench? We read some of your comments as well
