Win tonight would be nice

Question for ath: is the top 30 Hornets of all time project a lost cause?

by Grrranderson on Nov 22, 2009 4:57 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Haha

Never say never… I should start it up again at some point.

by atthehive on Nov 22, 2009 5:09 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I just started reading your blog this year

And was just looking around at everything a couple days ago and those caught my eye as someone who has been a fan of the Hornets since their Charlotte days. And then I noticed the dates on them haha.

by Grrranderson on Nov 22, 2009 5:12 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah...

I started those as part of the Hornets’ 20th year last season, but then got busy. Maybe I’ll do a couple this week. I have the list all made out, so it’s just the research and writing part… which is 99% of the work hahah

by atthehive on Nov 22, 2009 5:15 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Oh Devin.

Nice charge so early. Is it too much to wonder what Mo would look like under Floyd/Bower?

by m-W on Nov 22, 2009 5:15 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Inactives for tonight

Hilton Armstrong (due to aggravating his shoulder injury), Ike Diogu and Chris Paul

by JChangNZ on Nov 22, 2009 5:15 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I think this team might be .500

if it weren’t for Devin Brown. He’s garbage but he gets a crazy amount of plays and minutes every game.

by atthehive on Nov 22, 2009 5:21 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

He's definitely taken the most shots on the floor.

And made at least 4 bad bad mistakes that I’ve counted. In under 4 minutes.

by ticktock6 on Nov 22, 2009 5:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

It isn't a stretch to say he has cost them 1 game

which is all they would have needed to be .500

by Grrranderson on Nov 22, 2009 5:22 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Am I jinxing it?

I finally get a stream during this winning streak….

by JChangNZ on Nov 22, 2009 5:21 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

He is just so unnecessarily aggressive.

You aren’t nearly as good as you think you are, Devin

by Grrranderson on Nov 22, 2009 5:23 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't mind him taking open shots

Or running to the rim when guys are in position. But his jumper on the break with 3 Heat under the rim? What? And the charge on the other break, when he should have dished to the other runner?

by m-W on Nov 22, 2009 5:24 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Miami over the limit too

Lots and lots of fouls in this one.

by atthehive on Nov 22, 2009 5:28 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Bummer

Just changed Peja 3 to a 2 on replay. Though, I thought so when it happened live.

by m-W on Nov 22, 2009 5:39 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

LOL

That’s a way to atone for the foul, Buckets!

I love how everyone looked funny at me

When I nabbed Marcus Thornton as soon as Byron made him active. Most laughed at me initially, but looks like I’m left with the cigar. :)

Indeed

If he was doing anything close to this in practice while MoPete was doing his normal thing, I’m confused as well

I thought about that

But I just bought a West jersey. Tshirt is cheaper. If they ever get Thornton jerseys in the store I can use my season ticket discount too. They SHOULD get them in the store. NOLA people would totally buy them.

we followed it up with an airball and Flash oop.

the defense rotations look really slow tonight. maybe due to the back to back?

Seems like Jermaine, D-wade and Chalmers have been able to go wherever they want tonight

But as I watch the pace of the team quicken, his lack of athleticism becomes even more evident. That last pass right there by Dimes would have been thrown down by a number of PF’s in the league….
