These announcers don't know the Hornets at all
So far,they have called Devin Brown Devin Harris and said we don’t like to run simply because the stat sheet says we don’t have many possessions per game.

You think ESPN would know about one of the best teams in the league.
But no… they just talk about Paul and Howard

Could these announcers maybe stop talking about the Magic? There are two teams here. Seriously, are they from Florida?

we need another scorer
its evident now. we lack athelticism in the rotation, lately have been a step slow and we need a bruising pf asap!
by Ace Boogie on Dec 25, 2008 11:33 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
and we are settling for jumpers and not hitting them
while asking cp3 to carry us. he is the only one that came to play it seems.

What the hell?
This stupid female just said we have a reputation for being soft. What? They were just talking about how good our defensive stats are …. I’m at a loss …

So I missed the first quarter.
I didn’t miss much. And now it’s worse. Lovely.

the announcers are clueless about a lot of things
don’t know whose starting, missaying of names, etc. unprepared! the way we are playing, houston game is not looking so good. i’m convinced we need to make a move.

other than cp3
our starters are sleep walking and the game strategy is just failing. no perimeter d and devin brown is just doing nothing absolutely.

Give me a break
How can we come out looking like this? On national TV? After the month we’ve had?

It's all about the 3s
We’re 0-7 and they’re 8-14. Ouch. Come back soon, Peja.

if this doesn't wake up the coach and front office eyes
nothing will. it written on the wall.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 25, 2008 12:16 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I don't buy that
It’s the same team that was out there last year. Some people need to wake the hell up. (Chandler. All of our shooters.)

I turned on ESPN, and I was a bit stunned.
I guess we didn’t show up to play.

I don't think I was ever embarassed of our team when we went 18-64
I’m right now really embarassed to be a Hornet fan.
by atthehive on Dec 25, 2008 12:24 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Because you know they can
You don’t win 11 out of the last 13 by accident. And then come out on national TV and do this.

You name it, it went wrong.
No movement on O, no energy on D, bad calls on both ends, us missing shots we normally don’t, us with players out to injury, others in foul trouble, and them hitting Bout every shot , and outrebounding us nonetheless. Merry Xmas.

oh, and to cap it off...
…as hereinabove mentioned the announcers are horrible.

wow devin brown needs to be benched
by chandlerfan6 on Dec 25, 2008 12:25 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I say give Ju-ju 24 minutes of burn hereinout
What do we have to lose?

i agree completely
he was agressive in his time n thats what byron wants right?
by chandlerfan6 on Dec 25, 2008 12:28 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
if the same starting lineup shows up
scott needs to be questioned why.
by Ace Boogie on Dec 25, 2008 12:28 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm not gonna say this team sucks
Because it doesn’t. But dang, we get owned on national TV a lot, don’t we?
by atthehive on Dec 25, 2008 12:29 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
thats for sure
i mean when pejas in his role is to hit the three with consistency to space the floor for D-west so then scott puts probably the worst 3 point shooter on the team and in league history to fill in for him when we have a good 3 point shooter in mo pete on the bench FREE MO PETE
by chandlerfan6 on Dec 25, 2008 12:30 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Imteresting
Mo Pete in, on the wing and DX immediately has space to operate (no Devin on floor).
by m-W on Dec 25, 2008 12:51 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
we havent hit one three
so put in devin brown its very logical
by chandlerfan6 on Dec 25, 2008 12:31 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Oh well
I was at the Staples game last year when we got down by 30 in the first half… and lost by 3. Maybe we can pull a repeat? But Peja was the one that led us back in that game.
by atthehive on Dec 25, 2008 12:32 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
devin brown is shooting 5% from deep
by chandlerfan6 on Dec 25, 2008 12:32 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
We get down by 30 in the first half
The first play in the second half INVOLVES DEVIN BROWN DRIBBLING AROUND THE WING AND CHUCKING A THREE POINTER AT THE HOOP??!!?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDIGN ME?!?!?!?!??!!?

Did anyone else see Howard stand in the paint for ten seconds?
by m-W on Dec 25, 2008 12:37 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
or howard pushing off when he's in the post
the refs are not helping and no cp3 steal
by Ace Boogie on Dec 25, 2008 12:40 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Gahhh
Chandler needs to finish. That’s Jameer Nelson preventing a 7 footer from dunking…

why leave in sool-bop
if he cant make a shot

Get off the court Hornets
You refuse to play D, you deserve to lose like this. This is pathetic. Every single Magic is WIDE open on every single play.
by atthehive on Dec 25, 2008 12:44 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
The thing I don't get is why we aren't changing our game plan at all
We’re still running design plays for jumpers on literally every play. That’s just awful coaching. The guys being cold is one thing. Not understanding that and continuing to make them shoot is another.
by atthehive on Dec 25, 2008 12:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Hmmmm
What would’ve happened if Mo had STARTED the half. Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
by atthehive on Dec 25, 2008 12:52 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah can't turn off now ...
… More likely than not, win or lose, we will look better this half. With our first two threes, the run has begun.
by m-W on Dec 25, 2008 12:53 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
the world will never know
because devin brown is just such a damn good shooter and a must start on every team mos just being overshadowed and outplayed
by chandlerfan6 on Dec 25, 2008 12:53 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Mo doesn't bring the intangibles of Devin
Devin is such a great leader!!!

David West just got faked out of his shoes. And it wasn’t really that great of a fake either.

not as of now but did anyone see
hilton armstrong airball that dunk in the first half? he seen dwight 30ft away from him and sh*t himself

Nce of the female announcer to point out..
…we lost to the Celtics and Lakers, but not that we beat the Cavs and Spurs and Nuggets. Of course we know which two teams they want to mention incessantly.

I'm embarrassed.
How were we on such a good stretch? I mean, they quote the stats. Top five three point shooting, top five defense. How do you just come out and lose like this ON THOSE TWO THINGS WE DO WELL? What happened to pride?
And seriously, Byron Scott’s coach of the year. I’m beginning to think it was totally riding Chris Paul. The lineups continue to make no logical sense. STILL replacing Peja in our offense with a guy who can’t hit the three. Do we have other offensive sets? At all?
