Good point
We already beat em once, and they lost Delonte West last night… so maybe COULD will turn into WILL.
After the Jazz hubris...
…I’m going to come right out and say it. I’m not greedy. CP can get 0-0-0-0 and 23 turnovers. Lebron can have 58-11-15-16, with no turnovers. As long as we win.
What is it with this team?
Would it have hurt somebody to guard gibson? I just don’t understand it. They really have fallen off on defense. It’s sad
It's definitely the strategy to blanket Lebron. And they're doing that well.
But they’re too slow on the defensive rotations to the shooters.
We seem dull though
Like offensively we just have no “go” I don’t know how to describe it but we just go away from Paul and West and towards subs who take jumpshots…Devensively we just overplay lebron..he’s finding open shooters who are converting…
Ugh
Horrible half.
If they lose to Cleveland in Cleveland… okay, so be it. But to get completely shown up… on national TV (Like in Orlando)? COME ON. Van Gundy and the commentators keep mentioning the Hornets lack of intensity, and this time I have to agree. Where is the heart? Chris Paul has it… but does anyone else? The defense is awful… STOP leaving shooters open. We do that to every team. I understand wanting to contain Lebron… but I’ll take Lebron’s 2 point drives over his teammates wide open threes.
Dissapointing. Turn it around Hornets…
Agree completly
This team just doesn’t seem to want it. Our bench is woeful we have to make a trade or something because it just seems that the bench comes on and all intensity is lost. We are taking to many forced jumpshots which look hideous that clunk of the side of the backboard…I mean common!
Actually I thought the bench played decently for once tonight...
It was the bench who started to cut the lead… but it turned out to be a shortlived cut. On most bad nights… a lot of blame goes to the bench, tonight – it goes on the starters even more.
I guess your right
About how it’s more our starters fault…every time I get to watch the Hornets play, they play extremly bad.
Yeah. And here's a clue.
Step forward. Lebron will drive to the rim from the 3 point line. Take the charge. How hard can that be?
Devin is killing us.
Nice ball movement. But it should be Mo on the 3 point line. Devin can’t take those shots so the offense doesn’t work.
People keep saying out bench sucks.
Yet Hilton just 5 minutes. Mo none. Julian none. You tell me who our best bench players are (other than Posey, who rocks). Looks like ZDevin’s one good game will f#(k us.
This whole game...
Has really shaken my faith in Coach Scott.
Now, that could be a kneejerk emotional overreaction on my part… but yeah.
LET POSEY GO ONE ON ONE WITH LEBRON
HOLY CRAP HES ONE OF THE BEST DEFENDERS IN THE LEAGUE
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Lebron is just hot from midrange
Those aren’t shots he’s going to hit most of the time… he’s just feeling it.
i have lost all respect for cleveland
u dont play the cp3 woo ever no matter what thats ours just slapping us in our face
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
you gotta be kidding me
everyones losing their cool
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Cav organization is completely classless.
They play the CP “Whoo” every time he gets a foul, and after he just got ejected.
hopefully though that makes the guys keep their intesity up
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
thats what i was saying
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
screw lebron
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
hey a juju sighting and what do ya know a bucket
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
no but we did get to witness a spectacular devin brown performance
Devin Brown is a basketball God!

What?!
Thanks Byron Scott for making me hate you even more. Play Julian in the last two minutes of a lost game. What is that?
Listen.
We won 56 games last year. We were a game away from making the conference finals. And all throughout that, MORRIS PETERSON was a starter. And on a team that good, Byron honestly believe that he doesn’t even deserve to play? What the fuck? And part two of this rant? Julian Wright is the next best player on your bench after Mo (assuming he doesn’t start, otherwise Rasual) and Pose, so why doesn’t he even play? I trust Byron as a coach generally. But seriously, playing Devin and Marks over Mo and Julian. I’m really, really, really losing patience for that.
