Hornets sign Jason Hart to 10-day contract
by Man in the Arena on Feb 5, 2010 12:22 PM CST

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Hornets have looked for some extra help at the guard position -- even though GM/Coach Jeff Bower recently said the team would not pursue an extra player to help with minutes at the point. After injuries to All-Star guard Chris Paul and rising star Marcus Thornton, Bower really didn't have much of a choice.
NOLA.com reports on the signing of Jason Hart.
For a backup point guard (who will be backing up a rookie that realistically should be a backup player right now), the team certainly could've done worse than snagging Hart. His career averages of 4.8 ppg and 2.3 apg aren't anything to write home about. But they'll keep Darren Collison from having to play 48 minutes a night.
According to the NOLA.com article, we should see Hart in action tonight against the 76ers. Any thoughts on Jason Hart from y'all? I'm only somewhat familiar with him from his days with Utah.
Either way, here's wishing a speedy recovery to Chef Paul... and Li'l Buckets... and the Hornets' chances to ever win at home again.

Game 49: Hive Live

Oklahoma City 103 (28–21) | New Orleans 99 (26–23)
Deja vu, right? Hornets struggle to keep up all game, come back to take the lead late in the game, and then watch the game unravel as the game clock winds to a close. By the by, that's 3 straight home losses, which takes our record at the Hive from an awesome/intimidating 16–4 to good 16–7.
So what happened? The Hornets played catch-up most of the night, but hung in there due to an advantage in turnovers. In the end, though, it's tough to seal a W when you give up 50+ percent from the floor. Seriously, this is the same game we saw Monday, except instead of shooting 52% from the floor, the opponent dropped shots closer to 58.
To top it off, Marcus Thornton left the game in the fourth limping... oof, no good.
Let's not dwell too much here. We got great contributions from Marcus, Mekatron, and Posey, but OKC got monster performances from Westbrook and Durant. The Bees just couldn't seal the deal... again.
Allow me to elaborate (after the jump).

It was closer than the score looks thanks to a last minute push by the Bees, but I think this one would be easier to break down with some good old fashioned "pros" and "cons." Who's with me?
PROS
- After defeating the Grizz on Saturday, the Hornets cam in today and almost upset one of the better Western Conference teams... without the help of CP.
- DX battled hard all night versus Amare Stoudemire, which is no small task. He showed a little reticence to attack early on, but got comfortable pounding the rock in the second half. He finished with 20 points, 8 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 0 turnovers in 38 minutes.
- Our rookies continue to shine despite the heavy burden placed on them by CP's injury. The two combined for 41 points, 18 assists, 8 boards, 2 steals, and 6 treys tonight.
- The Bees won the turnover battle and held the Suns to a paltry 6 for 21 from beyond the arc.
- CP has impeccable sartorial tastes.
CONS
- We drew so much iron. So much. Yes, we shot 45% as a team, but I've never seen so many in-and-outs.
- The Suns shot 51% from the field. This was partially due to the fact that the Suns can just plain shoot, but it didn't help that Robin Lopez, Amare Stoudemire, and Channing Frye exploited mismatches all night long.
- Mekatron played 24 minutes. How are we sitting our (very good) center when we're getting out-rebounded in a tight game? Sure, he only had a few boards while he was on the court, but the Suns' big men were abusing Songaila all night. I mean, it's not like Mek's jumper was off. What gives, Bower?
- Despite great performances (and steps forward) for the rookies, they still made quite a few mistakes. Both guys tried to do a little too much, which resulted in a handful of really poorly selected shots and 7 combined turnovers. They are making steps forward, but they've got to reign it in a bit. Remember the rules of teamwork: "Don't be a hero. You have teammates. And they love you... if your name isn't Mike James."
More (insightful!) thoughts after the jump.

CP3 Out 1-2 Months

New Orleans Hornets All-Star point guard Chris Paul(notes) will undergo arthroscopic surgery for a cartilage tear in his left knee on Monday and could miss one to two months, sources close to Paul told Yahoo! Sports on Sunday night. Paul injured the knee in the final moments of regulation in a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday. Paul was injured after he fell into a photographer on the baseline after trying to catch an errant inbounds pass from Hornets forward David West. Paul came up limping after the play, which led to the Bulls tying the game with .2 seconds left. Paul also told reporters he had initially twisted the same knee in a win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Test results revealed a partial tear to Paul’s meniscus. There is still some doubt as to the extent of the injury, one source said, but it is not believed to be season-ending. Paul is expected to miss the All-Star Game because of the injury. Once the NBA confirms Paul’s unavailability, commissioner David Stern will appoint a replacement to the Western Conference roster. Denver Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups likely will be among the leading candidates to replace Paul. The Hornets will lean on rookie point guard Darren Collison during Paul’s absence. Paul also missed eight games earlier this season because of a sprained left ankle.
