We're playing an all rookie front court
Unfortunately, we’re probably still gonna get owned

I would not be surprised if we do get beatdown
but I hope somehow they are able to come ouf this injury stretch in good standing. The bad thing about this is that this team only have two main plays, pick n roll and dump to west. With both West and TC out, who does this? Nobody on this team is an offensive threat except for Peja. And with the teams limited playbook, how will they score? They will depend on point guard play even more. I hope he gets his rest off the court because he will be playing heavy minutes while his big men are out.

Wow
This is unbelievably ugly. It’s actually going to be miraculous if we win this game…

peja looking good
Our second unit is going to be key if we want to pulll this out.

Never thought I'd say this
but we miss Hilton.

MoPete!
and Julian in the game at the same time.
by Cablinasian on Jan 21, 2009 7:35 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
Only way we’re winning is a Chris Paul takeover…

Eh...
Not too bad considering the situation… I’m still optimisitic.

Lol
Last time the Hornets played without Chandler and West was December 14th, 2006

You know
this Mopete character is pretty good at basketball, Byron.
by Cablinasian on Jan 21, 2009 7:42 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
And so is that Julian Wright guy...
I’m shocked.
On a side note… Sean Marks finally hit a jumper despite the stifling defense being played by the air in the arena.

Devin Brown is a basketball God!

THE WORLD IS GONNA END

No Devin Brown despite being down so many guys?
Maybe this is a sign for things to come when Chandler, Armstrong, and West come back.

7 points and 5 boards in 12 minutes for JuJu
And good defense.
Making Byron look foolish… I’m sure Byron doesn’t see it that way but he is keeping Wright on the floor so that’s a good sign.
by Caleb462 on Jan 21, 2009 8:02 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Definitely JuJu's playing like a beast
I love how that quarter ended with us having all the momentum. JuJu’s gotta hit his freebees though. Hell, I could care less. JuJu should just do his thing like now and force himself into Byron’s rotation!

by chandlerfan6 on Jan 21, 2009 8:12 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, too bad he didn't hit the free throws....
But I don’t really care.
9 point/5 boards/1 steal is a really solid line for one half of basketball.

It's so bizarre how much the rotation changes
guys go in and out of Byron’s doghouse. On some NBA teams, the better players on the team play…
by Cablinasian on Jan 21, 2009 8:15 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe Byron's right
this Julian kid never has good games…
by Cablinasian on Jan 21, 2009 8:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He's sucking it up tonight for sure. So is that guy that starts at point guard for us, I can't think up his name but I know he was foolishly compared to Tracy Allstar Mcgrady.

Haha
I think he might have potential. He’s too small to play big minutes in the NBA, though.
by Cablinasian on Jan 21, 2009 8:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, he's very weak too and cannot finish at the rim. He also picks up his dribble WAY too much.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!

Plus, he doesn't shoot well enough
defenses will sag off him… he’ll never be able to get to the bucket.
Deron Williams is obviously a better choice.

Don't forget Rafer Alston

Peja is picking up some of the rebounding load..
That’s nice to see. It gets overlooked but I’ve always thought he was one of the team’s best rebounders.
by Caleb462 on Jan 21, 2009 8:33 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I'm glad because I need the double double from Peja tonight with Tyson out for my fantasy team

Can't see em behind the bench on TV
but somebody at the game can probably tell better

Couldn't see them live though.
Hilton was there, though.

Ely?
Sorry, can’t watch the games here in New Zealand…did Ely just get blocked?
by JChangNZ on Jan 21, 2009 9:18 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Sorry..did he just get blocked again?? Twice in a row?
by JChangNZ on Jan 21, 2009 9:19 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah he did
Doing his best Yao Ming impersonation… blocking shots and getting blocked.
Ely helped the team a lot tonight though.

CP3 SO CLUTCH!
Melvin Ely not so much

Great win and not to nitpick
But CP’s 3rd straight game with 5 turnovers…
by atthehive on Jan 21, 2009 9:35 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Another great effort from a team that was willing to work for the win.
Julian was awesome. Diving on the floor for loose balls, darting at the sideline to try and save balls, and scoring and rebouding. TT6 made a “Free Ju-Ju” sign tonight. And hopefully tonight will, in fact, be the beginning of his freedom.

Also, I'm 100% behind Marks.
I mean, if we’re healthy, I honestly don’t think he has the talent (on this team) to be on the active roster. That said, we’re not healthy, and he needs to step up, so I hope he does just that. It’s pretty awesome, too, that he’s the first New Zealander to make the League.
by m-W on Jan 21, 2009 10:49 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Marks got a loooong hug from Posey
He knows the secrets now. He is wise.
Peja and CP were great tonight! Everyone else got out and hustled and ran. It was like watching a different team, but it was a lot of fun. Go Hornets B Team!
