Thought I'd toss up the Game Thread a little early
Road game, ESPN prime time, this one’s big. Apparently, AD may be playing after all. Posey will get his ring pre-game.
hahaha
woooo!
Any posting of Peja pictures will result in random comments by me. My apologies. Though, I’m guessing you guys don’t mind the wasted bandwith.
Donte? Donte'! Donté?!?!
'spect da 'xtra E'
That sucks...
Gonna miss those blocks and offensive rebounds.

Can't even remember the last time I complained about refs
But not a big fan of the officiating that quarter. Big Baby clearly sliding on that “charge”, Paul gets tackled in the backcourt no call, Allen gets “fouled” in the lane. This should not be a tie game. They’re the better team, but we outplayed them in the 1st and got nothing for it.
I thought the fouls and shots kind of evened out.
We started getting all the goodness, and then the ended with it.
Well there's one for the Chris Paul highlight archive
Speaking of which, I need to update some time…
Are you kidding?
We held the Celtics (of NBA Finals glory) to 39 points in a half… without Tyson. We’re doing great. Paul just needs to foul a little less.

I'm praying this isn't the start of a Boston pull away
Someone needs to come through right here. Paul, West, Peja… anyone.
What the hell kind of plays are these?
West stands still for 6 seconds until Armstrong decides to chuck up 15 footers? Seriously Byron?
So...
…Marks before Ely, and Brown before Peterson. Why not just leave CP out for the next seven minutes and put in AD?
Do you have to "declare" whether a player is available before a game?
Or is it somewhat possible that we can see Daniels tonight? But I’m with you on Marks before Ely. Ely played well and moved around in the first half. Marks has struggled to rebound, score, defend, everything really.
Yeesh
Pejas has played 21 minutes and attempted 2 threes, in the middle of a super hot shooting stretch. Beautiful.
Byron has completely lost his mind.
No Mo. No Hilton. Mo got 16 the other night and looked great. Hilton has been on a force. Yet we’re getting Brown and Marks. Posey’s a good 3 shooter, but why not more Rasual and Peja? What the hell?
ESPN really, really sucks on replays tonight.
There have been several calls or no-calls that I would’ve liked a second look at, and no luck.
Depends
Maybe for an encore Byron will start Brown, Daniels, Ely, Wright at 1-4, and then sign Master P to play the 5. I love his line-ups tonight. Brilliant. Let’s see him dare to blame the players for this one.
byrons rotation was horrible
the players didn’t match for what was going on in the game at the time. we took out hilton who was a rebonder to put in marks
we were saying that
ALL NIGHT. And the shooters weren’t put back in when they needed shooting. And look what we get: a perfect 3 kickout to Brown who of course bricks it. I won’t say outcoached, because I don’t believe Doc does that much coaching, but… I’ll say I disagreed with Byrons’ decisions.

i didn't expect juju to do much in limited minutes
he was thrown into a tough situation with the pressure of not making a mistake. byron can be very stubborn sometimes.
FREEJULIAN.COM was wrong
I’m starting FREEMOPETE.COM
Why? Devin Brown. Why? I will not easily forgive BS for this.
http://hornetshype.com
Seriously, what was UP with Mo not playing
JuJu whatever. He’s given out the excuse. Is he “fearful” of Peterson’s game now?
devin brown has been playing bad
i guess scott trusts him. mopete had a good game on wednesday yet got limited playing time. if we make any other trades we need a legit sg who can get his own shot. i still can’t get pass the rotation tonight. marks killed the momentum with a bad turnover to end the third and fouled to send the person to the line. aarghh!
The rotation made no sense whatsoever
The guys that contributed well in the first half (Ely, Armstrong) got extremely limited or odd minutes in the second half. Peja got very, very few plays run for him. Mo-Pete was pretty much left out the rotation. The list goes on and on…
I'm glad
we’re not the only ones who noticed this. I hate to complain, but I really do feel we were not outplayed this game. The players on the floor did their best, but they just weren’t who should have logically BEEN on the floor.

I ranted on Sean Marks early
I believe he did redeem himself with several good defensive plays/blocks, but I still maintain that fouling Ray Allen behind the 3 point line is possibly the be all and end all of NBA retardation.

i hate to complain
i got my wish for a backup pg lol. byron managed the game badly and didn’t execute when we had chances.
