Random Thoughts
- Quinton Ross will guard Paul from the beginning. He’s only in the starting lineup as a defensive specialist.
- Dirk scored 29 in the 4th last night. This could end very, very poorly.
- Jason Kidd has attempted 16 shots this year. 15 have come from outside 15 feet.
- Dallas has been a very mediocre offensive team, but the league’s 2nd best defense.
That last one is pretty surprising...
Seeing how its generally been the opposite for Dallas.
Anyway, a win is badly needed.
Interesting Stuff
On an interesting note: Sean Marks will be blogging for us this season. I think this is his first one :http://www.nba.com/hornets/news/sean_marks_blog_2009_11_04.html?rss=true
And on a side note: I cannot believe he spelled “neighbour” as “neighbor”. He’s turned American!!
Hornets seem to be doing good
This is the first game I’ve been able to see this year of the Hornets. Hopefully it’ll turn out to be a good one!
Haha
Yeah..I’m on “study leave” for exams. But anyway, interesting thing I noticed, do you guys get ED ads as a frequent thing?
My stream stopped
Let’s hope that’s not a sign of worse things to come
Haha
Are you watching on ESPN360?
I’m watching it on there. Split screen with an HD feed for the World Series… basically doign that stupid thign they show on all the windows 7 commercials haha
Lol
No..ESPN doesn’t allow international viewers on ESPN360. I think originally the ESPN we have here was going to show the game, but instead they’re showing the World Series…when does the baseball game finish? Maybe they’ll switch to the game afterwards…
Haha
Cool, last I saw they were up 7-1? I’m not a huge baseball fan…cricket’s the game down here!
I wish I could "like" comments lol
Stupid Facebook!
But I’m liking what they’ve been able to do so far
Oh okay
I always did mention last season that Scott really likes putting a second unit in on their own…I always thought mix and matching would be better
I like it too
Don’t want to see too many possessions with CP not touching it and Brown turning it over though.
Unrelatedly,
How about Beaubois? I know he only hit 4 shots… but those were some pretty nice looking shots, all.
Haha
The hope of seeing him mix up the rotation with the rookies is encouraging
He said
something about changing thigns up if we struggled today and against Toronto. But with B. Brown’s start today, I dunno if he will get Collison too many minutes in the near future.
So it's one of those games...
See them do well tonight – rotation doesn’t get changed…suck for the next 4/5 games, play good on the 6th – hard for Coach to make up his mind haha…
See them do crap – we lose. And rookies and Ike and Sean come away free!
So is this a win-win or a lose-lose?!
Yeah seriously
I’m starting to have doubts. Did a google search for Diogu today and ran across a new story saying he’d be available for a preseason game almost 2 weeks ago…
My mind would explode with rage...
If Diogu not playing was a coach’s decision as opposed to a health issue.
Sean Marks' Injury
When I first read it..it was just a minor “sore”, not even strained, neck. How did this work out to be 2 weeks on inactive list?!
What I would really like to see is...
Sean Marks vs. T-Wolves. I think it’s just me…but those two games (it was two right?) were…wow…and they were the very few games I was able to catch last season!
“Marks dunked with 7.8 seconds left to cap a career-high 18-point effort, and the short-handed Hornets overcame the ejection of David West in a 101-97 victory.” – That was all in 24 minutes along with 5 rebounds. Without TC, CP3 or DX! Oh, and that was that time when he hit a buzzer beater at the end of the 2nd too! And he was firing mid-long range jumpers that were going!
I would like to see more of this this season!
Let's hold this lead...
Umm…maybe for the REST OF THE GAME?!
That would be nice
Beating a solid team like the Mavs would be a good sign that the team is starting to get on track.
*faints*
Was that Hilton Armstrong playing a back-door bounce pass from the post for a baseline-cutting Bobby Brown?!

SONGAILA!
Lighting it up right now! I love this guy, finally getting more involved. Doing well overall so far, but Juju and the wing players need to get more involved. Bobby Brown shooting well tonight, but I’m still not sold on him being the backup point. I’ll consider him as a Devin Brown player playing a combo 1 and 2 guard with Collison on the floor with him, but him as a pure PG I’m not sold on. The defense looks totally different. Scott must have changed something in his gameplan because thus far the D has been terrific. Hornets please don’t let me have said this too soon. Pull out the win because 2-3 doesnt look nearly as bad as 1-4.
Come on..hold the lead
Just hold the lead….come on…
We've had good 3 quarter games
But the 4th quarter games have just been complete breakdowns. Lets hope this game isn’t one of them.
wait what?
Sarcasm right? lol it’s hard to tell since you can hardly tell emotion when looking at letters lol
4th quarter breakdown? As mentioned above?
Let’s hope not
I think we need some wing players
Chris Paul has had to do everything in this game. I would be so mad if I were him.
Man
forget the Yankees. No one cares about baseball, it’s too easy to buy a championship, which is exactly what the Yankees have done.
Lol
What I mean is..being a NZer, I don’t watch baseball and basically don’t have an interest in it. ESPN over here in NZ is showing the World Series in preference to the Hornets game
Wow...looking at the box score...
We’ve managed to score 4 points in 4 minutes, while Mavs have scored 12. Good thing we made up for it in the first few quarters…kinda..
i bet chris paul takes a swing at someone this year.
"What is going on up here?"
"I never know, man."
yeah, its really weird to see such a gifted point guard having to play like a shooting guard
because no one else can make a bucket.
"What is going on up here?"
"I never know, man."
juju
anyone else wish juju would replace brown to get boards and maybe throw a different look at terry for a bit?

Peja has been stone cold tonight.
Except for that assist just then
That's gotta be a sign
3 missed free throws by Mavs
ha, loco, he has been awful before this game

hey good news hornets fans, hubie just declared his son bobby brown came of age
"What is going on up here?"
"I never know, man."
Close it out
Almost there. I’m sick of seeing Bobby Brown but at least he shot well for once.

agreed. pulled a lot of boards and pressured well on D. hes not a factor offensively…but its not like theyre even trying to make him one. made a few bad decisions but i wish he were out there more.
anyway, great win

Whew
Eerily similar to our Dallas win 2 years ago.
At home, Peja hits the improbable three to force overtime, Hornets win in OT.
