Might as well kick off an open thread for the game tonight. So Scott's been replaced by the Flower regime (FLOyd/BoWER) Let's see if the Hornets can up the effort a bit against a tough Portland squad. Firing coaches usually makes this happen, right? Also, let's see how many differences we spot tonight. Rotations. Minutes. Plays. Etc. Don't naturally expect too much but I'd be nice just to see a few things. Geaux Hornets!

Following Portland, here is the key:
If Oden is in foul trouble, they lose games. If Oden keeps his 21 PER on the floor, they win games.
free bayless
Oden has been incredible on defense, leads the league in block rate. Rebound rates are high and he’s even been doing well in the post. All he really has is a power move, but teams still double team him and he’s pretty good at passing back out.
He is so easy to get into foul trouble though. He has a bad rep with the refs, so any call that is 50/50 will go against him. If CP3 drives into him he’ll get a call. Ah, the problems of a young big.

UGHHHH
Freakin CST doesn’t have the game. I hate this. Wish I would have known ahead of time, dammit.
Sean Marks..
His stat line looks good so far..how’s he looking?
This is...
a very low scoring quarter…what’s going on?
I wonder..
Will we go from one of the highest scoring defeats to one of the lowest scoring wins? Lol
Thank God for Gerry V
Though listening on Radio is not the same
I prefer listening to the radio
But it’s usually in addition to watching the game. No visual is killing me.
Hmm
Anyone that watches on LP, is there a way to listen to radio audio with muted video at the same time?

I must be watching a Spanish feed...
Because every break they go start going to clips of Pau and Marc Gasol. Haha, its pretty sweet.
Lol same here..
But damn NZ internet is killing me…
Okay these Portland commentators have no idea who Thornton is...
First they say that he hasn’t played yet all season, then they say that he wasn’t a great scorer in college? Say what?
Haha
Glad I switched over to Sean K and Gerry V. Easily my favorite way to listen to a game… they pretty much just call the game and stay out of the opinion business for the most part.
Wish more guys did this.
haha that's what got him drafted.
What did they think it was? He’s a 6’4" SG
in his defense, Mike Rice has enough on his plate just trying to remember the Blazers’ names.

I just tuned in
Did not expect to see Thorton 11; Paul 0. What’s been going on?
I'm proud of my damn strong football team. Have a great day!
Paul really struggling with his shot and slipping a lot
Thornton just came in and shot the lights out on good shots.
Enjoy it now
I doubt we’ll be seeing him for much longer
I will admit
Dude works hard. He’s just not good
I'm finally lucky enough to get a stream and see what you guys are talking about...
It looked quite funny that last play
Okafor
Not playing a bunch of minutes. Weird. Not complaining b/c Marks looks good, but still.
Not a bad move
Oden looks sooo much better than last time we played him. Just way more assertive on the block.
the offense is better. But it’s the pick and roll defense that is the biggest change. He was SOOOO bad at defending it last year. Now, he shades to the ballhandler and recovers every time.
He wasn’t allowed to work out his legs until this summer, so he was unbalanced last year. Had no agility.

Buckets
should be first off the bench, if not starting the 3rd. We need to start off strong. I’m scared of 3rd quarters.
Ok guys
just hear me out…CP3/Devin – Byron Scott’s golfing buddies – throwing the game tonight?
David West playing tough – coincidence?
I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!
Body Language..
..not looking good from the Hornets’ players for every bucket Portland scores
Pretty sure Blazer fans everywhere are pulling for CP3. We all love that guy.
Hopefully it’s just a strain, and he’ll be back in a few days or even this game. Sprains can be 2-6 weeks depending on the location of the sprain.
like u guys said
let’s hope it’s just another sprain…
I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!
yeah - don't get it
he looked solid a few games again
I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!
Put Marks back in
He’ll foul out but at least he tries to block out dammit.
Anybody else notice
that the Blazers only run was made when we had our starting 5 out there?
Best wishes to Chris Paul
Blazer fan here wanting to say hope CP is ok. Lotta respect for the Hornets and Hive.
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
Same..from fellow Deac alum
And if you ever want to sell him for 70 cents on a dollar, please think of us.
Sorry about CP3.
Looks like you’ve got a couple good guards on the bench though. You’ll be OK.

I can't believe what has happened to the Hornets
Shinn needs a new GM asap. I hope Paul will be back soon.
Best wishes from OKC.

sorry about Paul
I wish your Rookie guards could carry the load without Paul. They seem to play well last night. A really feel bad for Paul. First, lossing his coach. now, getting injured.
