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!!

Good start.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 8:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
OMG...Bobby Brown...did he have to take that shot? Even if he did make it...
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 8:59 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Haha, yeah I loved Hubie's comment...
“Well that’s okay. When you make it.”

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!

Yeah..I’m on “study leave” for exams. But anyway, interesting thing I noticed, do you guys get ED ads as a frequent thing?
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:03 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:08 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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…
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:09 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I think
it should end in another hour or so. Yankees look to have it safely in hand.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:10 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Cool, last I saw they were up 7-1? I’m not a huge baseball fan…cricket’s the game down here!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:12 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Haha I love cricket too
Wish they’d broadcast it here more.

Much better defense so far
And better ball movement on offense.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:06 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
And the defense has looked solid after a bad start.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:06 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Don't want to jinx it
But we look WAY better than any other point this season.

I wish I could "like" comments lol
Stupid Facebook!
But I’m liking what they’ve been able to do so far
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:08 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah since he went out early in the 1st
thats Byrons new strategy so far. I actually like it.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:14 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:15 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I like it too
Don’t want to see too many possessions with CP not touching it and Brown turning it over though.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:16 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Unrelatedly,
How about Beaubois? I know he only hit 4 shots… but those were some pretty nice looking shots, all.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:17 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
yeah agreed
Take note Byron. A late first round pick making an impact on a game.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:18 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Haha
The hope of seeing him mix up the rotation with the rookies is encouraging
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:20 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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?!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:23 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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…
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:25 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
My mind would explode with rage...
If Diogu not playing was a coach’s decision as opposed to a health issue.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:26 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The encouraging thing is that we’re actually getting NEWS on Diogu. He’s been participating in practices which is awesome, but I’d like some news on kiwi

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?!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:25 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah
Marks isn’t good, but as opposed to Hilton… he isn’t actively bad.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I love Armstrong looking off into the distance
during Byron’s timeout huddle.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That’s dedication and concentration right there!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:28 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:30 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Must have been two
I just remember Al Jefferson getting hurt in one of them
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 9:32 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
“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!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
CP's jumper has just become flat-out ridiculously accurate
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:36 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Let's hold this lead...
Umm…maybe for the REST OF THE GAME?!
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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.
by Caleb462 on Nov 4, 2009 9:43 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Not to mention what a morale boosting win it would be. I think we need to show more confidence on the court
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 9:43 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
*faints*
Was that Hilton Armstrong playing a back-door bounce pass from the post for a baseline-cutting Bobby Brown?!

I’m off to get a pizza… Catch you guys on the other side

You’re getting a pizza. Way to rub it in buddy.

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.

Defense is keeping us in it
As the offense stalls a little bit
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 10:09 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Come on..hold the lead
Just hold the lead….come on…

Really struggling
to come up with the D-boards here..

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.

Hey guys
Chris Paul isn’t good at defense!
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 10:25 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
wait what?
Sarcasm right? lol it’s hard to tell since you can hardly tell emotion when looking at letters lol
by LocoSaint on Nov 4, 2009 10:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Okay bench time
Here we go. Do it guys.
by atthehive on Nov 4, 2009 10:32 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
4th quarter breakdown? As mentioned above?
Let’s hope not
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 10:35 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Well
it’s about that time gentlemen. Here goes the game.
by LocoSaint on Nov 4, 2009 10:35 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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.

YANKEES WIN ALREADY SO I CAN WATCH THE NBA!!!

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.
by LocoSaint on Nov 4, 2009 10:40 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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..
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 10:43 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
i bet chris paul takes a swing at someone this year.
"What is going on up here?"

i wouldnt blame him
id be mad if i had to do everything too
by LocoSaint on Nov 4, 2009 10:50 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
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.

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
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 11:05 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
That's gotta be a sign
3 missed free throws by Mavs
by JChangNZ on Nov 4, 2009 11:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Why
are Bobby Brown and Peja in right now?

thats awesome.

Close it out
Almost there. I’m sick of seeing Bobby Brown but at least he shot well for once.

Poor Juju
He didn’t even get 20 minutes…
by LocoSaint on Nov 4, 2009 11:28 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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
by nikita off the backboard! on Nov 4, 2009 11:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Whew
Eerily similar to our Dallas win 2 years ago.
At home, Peja hits the improbable three to force overtime, Hornets win in OT.
