tough game tonight
I think the starters will be competitive witj Boston’s starters, but I’m worried about the bench. Its funny how BS benches the rookies because they don’t execute consistently on both ends of the floor, but the veterans on the bench are allowing easy buckets and not creating any offense as well. I think the rotation Scott needs to go with is this:
C Songalia
PF Peja
SF Posey
SG Thornton
PG Collison
Peja and Posey can spread the floor allowing penetration from Collison and Thornton. Plus it allows Peja and Posey to defend easier. Peja is too slow to guard SFs and ridicoulously embarassing against SGs. He’s better off against PFs. Songalia should be the first big man off the bench, especially over Hilton Armstrong.
HEY, IT's THE BUM FROM THE DARK! GET A JOB YOU BUM!
I agree
Ive been saying the same things on the NOLA dot com forum. Idk bout you guys but I’m sure not sold on Bobby Brown being the backup point guard, Hilton being backup center, and Posey being whatever he is lol.
Honestly
I’ll take anyone to eat into Hilton’s minutes. Even if it’s Marks or Songaila, because time after time Hilton fails to improve and impress. That’s nice that Scott is giving his young guys a chance, but Hilton is a good a bust as any. Time to end that project.

Thornton and Collison both had good preseasons yet haven’t received any love Byron Scott. No way should Bobby Brown be running the offense for this team. I would like to see Thornton get some more playing time, maybe he would be able to usurp the SG throne from Morris Peterson.
Unrelated but can we get an update on the team salary section on the home page? Seeing 6MM+ next to Mike James is making me sick.
Emeka will have his work cut out for him
Perkins is a beast, defensively. I’m curious to see how Emeka will fare offensively against Perkins.
It’s gonna be a real tough game all around, and just like the game against the Spurs – I’m not really expecting a win. I just wanna see a competetive game, and if the Hornets can pull it out, well that would just be extra awesome.
Emeka should be fine
He’s a pretty feisty defender himself and he’s only getting better. I’m going to predict he’ll have his biggest game as a Hornet with yet another double double. Now the problem is if it’s going be all for naut.
Yeah, his performance against SA
gives me confidence that he’ll do well, even against good defenses.
9-6 at the first stoppage
Offense looked way out of sorts to start, but last couple of possesions have been solid. Loving JuJu hitting the open 3, and liked his aggressive D on Pierce.
Also
I just found another reason for Collison to become the backup PG quickly…
Gil saying “His perogative.” Twice already and its just the first quarter.
Bobby Brown is awful
Not a true PG. He doesnt push. Once he gets the ball to the arc he completely stalls and no one moves on offense. He’s also up to his usual tricks of taking jumpshots. I want Collison in.
Well...
Considering how early CP went out, along with Emeka sitting for a signifigant stretch… I’m pretty happy with a nearly tie game.
I'm surprised
that we’re actually competing. Bobby Brown trying to make up for those turnovers, but he’s gotta do more passing IMO.
Wasn't Collison a lights out 3pt shooter in college?
If Byron wants the backup PG chucking threes maybe, um, DC is a good choice.
i just threw up in my mouth
3:17 NO – Traveling on D. West
3:35 BOS – Bad pass by K. Garnett
3:42 NO – Bad pass by C. Paul
Weird how neither
CP or West has been much of a factor. Emeka is a beast on the boards, but hasn’t found the rim. Peja and Hilton looking good off the bench, but Brown trying to suck all of Boston in through the black hole that is his shot selection.
To think we’re only down 9 is kind of awesome.
Yeah perhaps this is just one of those games...
Where CP doesn’t really come alive until the 2nd half. We’ll see. Peja has played well, and Hilton had some really nice moments.
i want to punch byron scott in the face
play the damn rookies u asshole, not dinosaurs like mo
Poor CP3
Scott making him be a 2 guard when Bobby Brown comes in, so he’s gotta cover a big Ray Allen? Not fair by any means. We need a 2 guard BAAAAD.
BOBBY BROWN
Bobby Brown should not be getting this many minutes while Collison has yet to play. He’s shooting 25%, can’t even cover Eddie House, and has no idea how to run the offense. I can’t really be mad at him because he is being placed in a bad situation. I guess I’ll just have to be mad at Byron Scott ; ).
Random thought
If Peja plays this well for a string of games… I wonder if Byron considers using JuJu at the 2 over Mo, and putting Peja back as a starter
Absolutely.
Just keep feeding him. When he’s like this, he’s like this. Don’t expect him to cool off.

This was a winnable game.
Peja with a -11 tonight. Love the points but once the Celtics starters came in he needed to come out. Julian Wright needs to play more than 20 minutes. Brown needs to play less 20 minutes (less than 10 really). Peterson and Posey were both terrible. The inside game wasn’t great but that could change once Diogu and Marks come back. Thornton and Collison need to get some minutes here, this is ridiculous.
Pretty badly coached game if you ask me.
def. games like this are needed in the long run...gotta play each night
against teams like NO and paul…
