Haven't been watching

I hope TNT doesn’t show the end of that and cut us off like they did in the Suns game

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 9:27 PM CST up reply actions  

This does not look good

Oof.

http://www.hometownhornets.blogspot.com/

by hldomingue on Nov 27, 2008 9:52 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah.

Two starters out against a real good team, and a sluggish start is harsh.

by m-W on Nov 27, 2008 9:54 PM CST reply actions  

Ah well

The Chris Paul tripe double machine should be starting up any time now

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 9:55 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah but...

Triple doubles don’t = wins. If they did, Jason Kidd would be the best player of all time… and if there’s one thing I know about basketball, it’s that Jason Kidd… abuses his wife.

Hilton looks like a Thundercat.

And Mmm-Butler is keeping us alive.

Damn son...

David West is vicious

by hldomingue on Nov 27, 2008 9:58 PM CST reply actions  

Oh yeah...

And I assume everybody saw that the Hornets hate and have no respect for their coach?

Bill Simmons, I have only one thing to say to you, “SHENANIGANS!”

He sees all...

Announcer: “Somehow Chris Paul saw Melvin Ely…”

Love it when these goofs announce for us after watching the Hornets play 0 games.

MELVIN!

What just happened and why does that never happen at the hive?

Haha

I’ve been wishing Byron would give him more minutes. He’s SO much better than Hilton

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 10:12 PM CST up reply actions  

Word.

And here’s the thing that kills me: Bower and Byron keep saying that they’re trying to build his talent. He’s a world class athlete making millions… and we have to treat him like he’s five? It’s one thing to lose confidence in your shot (see West, David). But just plain “confidence?” In the words of Gob Bluth, “COME ON!”

Yeah

I think Michael Cera was the only hang up but they got him now.

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 10:18 PM CST up reply actions  

typo

“talent” in that first sentence should be “confidence”

You should have said

“I’ve made a huge mistake”

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 10:16 PM CST up reply actions  

Nice.

Still… where did the lighter fluid come from?

http://www.hometownhornets.blogspot.com/

by hldomingue on Nov 27, 2008 10:19 PM CST up reply actions  

Considering I was worried about our non-starters...

Hilton and Rasual start out with 11 points on 4-4 shooting, with 4 rebounds between them.

Doug Collins

Is seriously opining about the loss of Pargo…

Ughhhh

He’s like the 100000th person to do so this week. I gotta do a post about this Sunday or something to quell the tide. Of idiocy.

Please do...

I’m tired of defending that move, too.

This is the NBA...

…where everyone makes a run.

by m-W on Nov 27, 2008 10:24 PM CST reply actions  

So, I'm only 5'9"

But I can foul and turn the ball over for a lot less money than he’s making… hell, I bet I could even sink FTs better.

Ughhhh

3 turnovers from Hilton in 6 minutes. How is that possible??

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 10:26 PM CST reply actions  

Fastbreak points

We has 2. To their 14. Crap.

The bench implodes once more

despite David West being in there to semi hold them up. Sad

by Rohan on Nov 27, 2008 10:28 PM CST reply actions  

Mmm

I think he had them for the first OKC game.. But I’m pretty sure they are new for this season.

Uh oh...

Paul’s going into “If you want something done right…” mode

Wow.

’Melo just said “everyone knows I can score the basketball.” What grammar school did he go to?

by m-W on Nov 27, 2008 10:45 PM CST reply actions  

Eh.

Hot is hot. Butler’s playing really well tonight. I like his freakish length and quick feet on D, and his shot has looked good.

56 comments by halftime… are we on pace to set a new game thread record?

123 is the record? Or have made 123 comments and mW and I can’t count?

Mmmm

When I click out to the front page, and look at “comments,” it’s in the 130’s. Maybe that’s wrong? I didn’t count myself

Hmm.

Nuggets have an 18-14 rebounding edge, and 7-4 with offensive boards.

by m-W on Nov 27, 2008 11:04 PM CST reply actions  

Mmm

A couple of those are just Anderson missing and attempting 0 footers over and over right?

Exactly.

Not great, but this is another mediastorm that is already blown out of proportion. AI will sit out until the Pistons start losing.

P-uh-lease...

Dumb foul. Billups is just mad that Rasual beat him off the dribble on the other end…

Sweet

Rasual 6-6 and 3-3 from deep.

Yeah

I expected that Byron would have a super short leash on him tonight. But he’s done good

Peja's shot

Is looking better, too.

Honestly Peja… someone better have gotten a hand on that.

Our chance to prove that we’rea ctually somewhat good… and we blow it

It's a 4 point game.

We got time

Anyone read that ESPN article last year?

About the “coolers”? Basically the free throw equivalent of baseball’s closer pitcher, who can seal the deal.

Did Peja make the cut?

Nope that sounds cool

Good thing we’ve got the NBA equivalent of Mariano Rivera

Yeah...

He does. We tied the league lead for blown saves this past season… and still barely missed the playoffs. I’m fine with blaming that on Izzy

Solid victory. Keep in mind, we just did this without Mo Pete and TC (and Hilt for the second half). Let’s continue the roll tomorrow.

The Hornets record last season at this point? 9-5 after a 3 game skid. Again… just saying.

Nice, good perspective

I think we’ll be fine, let’s finish up this trip with a win @ Portland

Mmmk, can't wait for the game tomorrow.

Should be fun… Blazers have been playing terrific basketball as of late. Is Chandler going to be back for tomorrow’s game?
