Gonna need to see some better defense tonight...
For the Hornets to have a chance.
This could be a great game if the Hornets show up.
Definitely.
Let’s hope they can apply the lessons learned against the Clippers to a tougher opponent.
Once again..ESPN
Has decided not to show the Hornets’ game here in NZ. Instead, I had to watch the “blowout” of Cleveland vs. Orlando
what an embarressment
get rid of all the players they are absolutly woeful. send them all to the f’n d league an absolute disgrace.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
We need some effort
No one on the team seems to care at all

at least thornton is stating
his case for a starting job. He’s been solid so far.

Unfortunately, it's late afternoon and I don't have the pleasure of night fall to cover my eyes..lol
Im not watching anymore and I live in Australia
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
And there I was...
complaining about how ESPN only chose to broadcast the Cleveland-Orlando game
Sometimes
it gets late early-Yogi Berra
that being said everybody can watch the suns get blasted on national tv 2marrow
Suns at Lakeshow
YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD YES!

Why does Devin even try to drive to the hoop?
He has the worst leaner I’ve ever seen because he always goes way too strong and just completely misses. I’ve come to the conclusion that this team can’t and won’t get a playoff spot as long as they keep this same team and coach. Changes need to be made and this dreadful inconsistency is a sure indicator of that.

I feel that Chris Paul will want to leave.
He can’t stay in this atrocity of a team. This is not a professional basketball team its a bunch of scrubs.

I think people are jumping the gun on this
Paul has never expressed any such desire… and yeah Im sure hes frustrated but hes still in the very early part of his career and there is plenty of time for the Hornets to right the ship. Even if this season is a total bust… that doesn’t mean CP has no future with the Hornets.
Once Peja’s contract is up the Hornets will have a lot of room to work with.
I think the Suns have a legit chance
to get 50 points in the 3rd quarter
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
lol, 75 points allowed in 30 minutes of play?
What is this? Kobe vs. a bunch of paraplegic midgets?
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
it sure seems
like the Hornets think it’s a joke too. Oh well, reality will slap them in the face when they find themselves in the lottery next season.

Here are the stats at half-time
Phoenix:
FG 29-46
3pt 7-14
Tot. Rbds/Off. Rbds 23/10
Assists 17
New Orleans:
FG 19-44
3pt 5-12
Tot. Rbds/Off. Rbds 9/5
Assists 8
Even if we get blown out here.
Losses against Suns, Celts, Spurs, and Lakers all on the road, don’t exactly make us the Clippers.
On the surface no....
But when the team fails to compete in a single one of those games and get absolutely blasted… and when your just barely scrape by the Kings and Mavs at home, and get your only win against the Clips, well… this team is BAD right now, real bad.
I think he'll get waived
we might scoop him up but i doubt it. Not sure if i want him anymore because this team is only good at 1 position. Huge changes need to be made, rebuilding season here we come.

Do you think the Sixers will take Okafor for Dalembert?
I think it has come down to that lol. BIG BIG changes needed. No one but CP3 should be safe on this team.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
Okafor sucks on defense
Loom at the stat lines for opposing centers this season. Opposing centers are shooting maybe 65% against him.
He has merits on offense and rebounidng, but on the other end he’s woeful. there’s a reason why Charlotte couldn’t make the playoffs with this guy in the middle.
I dont know about that
Charlotte was an excellent defensive team with Mek manning the paint. Charlotte’s was and is scoring.
Now I’ll admit that I haven’t been impressed with his defense so far but Im willing to give that time.
It's early
But these early losses count just as much as the stretch run.
This team is devastatingly poor right now.
yep
I expected struggles, but this? Barely even competing? Atrocious defense? Its just really ugly, and after being optimistic all last year I guess I’m a little tired of being dissapointed.
Yeah, we've been stinkin the joint up lately.
Basically this team is a bunch of one dimensional players, most of whom are washed up. Think about that one, and you will agree 10000000%.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
that's why
We need a PF that can bang it instead of one that relies on an 18 foot jumper.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
Sorry I'm late
SBN wouldn’t let me log in. 9 boards huh? Solid.
Peja and West contributing nothing
because they can’t score.
He does not believe in a box out
Richardson just came right from behind him to get that board. West making Amare look like Rodman
lol...
We may need to trade for Raja Bell, Sam Dalembert, Ben Wallace, Ron Artest, just to keep opponents under 110 per game…
Richardson in basketbal heaven
and CP3 is in the deepest part of basketball hell
Grant Hill
He’s amazing. all but written off early in his career due to injuries and now, look at him. 16 points, 5 rebs, 3 assists at the half and 37 years old.
I've always loved this guy
He sure doesn’t play like he’s 37. He’s got a few good years left for sure.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
take his 96-97 season for instance..
21.4 points per game on 50% shooting, 9.0 rebounds per game, 7.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks. Beastly.
Is David West that slow?
Or has he just stopped trying because he can’t make a shot?
Im not even watching anymore
Too awful. Just too freaking awful.
Does anyone still think that Byron Scott hasn’t lost these guys?
Really?
I mean, I usually try to be “the sky is not falling” guy… but I really have a hard time believing Scott still has a grip on the team. I’d gladly be wrong.
Is he a guy that just gets a lot of rebounds because he's 6-10?
Because I’ve been dissapointed with his boardwork the past few games.
WOW
They just said CP3 isnt the best PG in the League because he plays on a bad team. Oh completely ignore how he can completely take over games, but because his team sucks he’s not the best.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
Marc Jackson
is not intelligent. Ignore that.
Yeah he's really dumb, actually...
Save that Hill comment that he was spot on about (which everyone knows already)… I generally hate the guy. There’s a reason he hasn’t got a coaching job yet…..
Yeah, but
If one commentator says it then all of them will say it. Then uneducated sports fans will say it, then apparently it becomes true. It’s basically gossiping.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
CP3
had to guard Nash and Amare to get that 24sec call. Seeing a theme?
Is Peja aware he's supposed to guard someone?
Hill has been wide open about 12 times. Take Peja out he’s not helping.
He's also 0-8.
Haha. I can’t do anything but laugh at this point because otherwise I’ll just be angry.
Dragic
stole Brown’s Phoenix. I’ve never seen him shoot like this.
I'm outta here
No reason to waste my good sleep time for this crappy game.
Why not us? http://hornetshoops.blogspot.com/
Lack of sleep + Hangover
=bad day of work
Paul
still working his butt off drawing that foul against Richardson
Dudley too?
Is this a sick joke? Can they put Shaq back in? Please?
Buckets
gonna have a tough time against Barbosa. Bad decision on Dudley too.
Is it just me..or does anyone think...
My man Marks is going to be activated in the next two games…
Jackson propagating the myth that the D'Antoni Suns sucked on defense?
Saying that this Suns team just needs to be in the top 16 in defense.
Oh… so you mean, like D’Antoni’s suns were?
IDIOT.
Lot of time left
but I don’t see West making 3 straight all-star trips.
Well of course
I dont think anyone has ever or would ever suggest West is a hall of famer. Borderline all-star is about right. Which would be fine on a team with a bit more depth.
They called this guy Tragic last year
and we’re making him look like an all-star.
To be fair, he's matured rapidly.
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
Buckets out
after giving up 2 Barbosa lay-ups
fire fire fire
fire b. scott and j. bower period. i think players dont want to play with the coach anymore.

Hmm
How low can it get, Byron?

"There were arms coming from everywhere, and I knew they weren’t going for the ball," Miller said. "I was just trying to get [the shot] up before they called some crap like ‘on the ground.’ "
"What do you want me to do?" Wright asked. "Do you want me to Derek Fisher him?"
"Give them some fucking credit, i mean for real." Jackson said.
"I just fell on my face for no reason," Bryant deadpanned. "I'm a klutz."
"Fucking right i'm preachin' it!" Carlisle replied.
"Rough life, isn't it. It's tough all over, isn't it." Smith chuckled.
