Well, Devin being subbed out for Thornton

might give us a chance. That aside, we need a huge game from the big 3, as well as Peja off the bench to be hot. Not much, then. Just, um, everything has to go right. We can do that, right?

I just dont see a backcourt of CP and Iverson working...

It doesnt seem like a good fit, although that’s just a gut response.

Iverson can create his own shot, yeah. I mean, that’s his calling card… and yes that’s what the Hornets need, but Iverson comes with so much baggage… and he’s always been horribly inefficient when it comes to actually making shots.

This game came at the worst possible time eh?

Team is 2-4 and seemingly a bit demoralized, and now you get to play the Lakers… in LA! I know LA is banged up but still… sucks. Just keep it semi-close….

Why you would bench 6'7" Mo tonight

D. Brown has scored the most points for the Hornets today…unfortunately, it looks as if it’s still a net negative effect as Kobe’s scored 22.

by JChangNZ on Nov 8, 2009 9:37 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Devin Brown

with an AWFUL defensive performance. And even worse on the D-boards.

Easily a net negative today. Yes, Kobe’s a tough guard, but he’s giving away free points left and right.

Is the way they portray everything – everything is always fine, and everything is always going to be fine. Now I realize that part of their job is promoting the Hornets, and they need to keep viewers interested. But I just wish they were a bit more genuine.

The UGHHH part about all this

Is we could’ve quite easily had him instead of Posey. The Clippers gave a stupid lowball offer to him that GSW easily matched… we could’ve easily made an offer that would go through since they were stupidly acquiring Maggette and Turiaf that offseason.

And the talent level isn’t that different. With everyone healthy the talent level should be higher…

Rookies only two guys

with positive +/- scores. Garbage time, yeah… but like ath said, they looked sharp.

Thornton’s shot has such a quick release, really good form… and looks to be very accurate. 8 points on 4 shots and a rebound in six minutes Meanwhile Collison picked up 6 points, a rebound and 3 dimes in just six minutes. And no turnovers for either guy.

by Caleb462 on Nov 8, 2009 10:55 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Oh I know this one!

Get Peja.
Get MoPete.
Sign Posey.
Let Pargo go.
Not bring back Bonzi Wells.
Not coach up young players.
Not give young players a chance.
Give too many minutes to crappy players.
Continue to make the same mistakes game in and game out.
Give up after a team makes a 3 in the 3rd quarter.
And not play the rookies.

Does anyone know whether...

They’re saying Marks has a sore neck just to keep him on the inactive list? I’m sick of seeing people write about how badly Armstrong’s been here and at 247…it’s time for change.

No way

I think even Byron isn’t so stupid to completely ignore Marks’ impact last year.

Agreed.

While we hate Byron’s stubborn insistence to play the Browns, he likes Marks the same way. Only, we like that.

This from Yahoo! Sports Team Report

‘Scott called Thornton, who averaged 12 points in the preseason, the Hornets’ most talented shooting guard.
“I just wish he was 6-foot-7,” Scott said of Thornton, who’s listed as 6-4.’

That quote seriously pisses me off.

Stop wishing for what you don’t have and coach properly Byron. And way to build up Marcus’ confidence with @#%$ like that.

Agreed again.

I mean, he’s pretty much the same size as Devin, and way bigger than Bobby. But Byron doesn’t hesitate to give those guys minutes.

Just Terrible

Well, the one good thing about living in the Northeast is I don’t have the temptation of watching a pathetic outing like this. Outside of Paul, Okafor, West, Marks/Diogu and the rookies we have a team with a bunch of pretty significantly flawed players.
Peja- forced to come off the bench because he can’t play defense against other #1’s
James Posey- Don’t know him personally but damn he looks lazy out there. Does he not realize that there is a second half of the game called defense?
Bobby Brown- Inconsistent shooter who loves to jack up shots. No defense.
Julian Wright- Almost completely lost offensively. Looks like a bust
Devin Brown- Can’t create his own shot. He’s a deep bench player on any other team, except if the coach is Byron Scott.
Morris Peterson- Bad defense, injury prone, over the hill. Enough said.
Hilton Armstrong- Can’t back people down, no post authority. He’s just weak.
Devin Brown-

Coach Scott...

The only thing I’ve been happy with Scott so far is his willingness to go with Sean last year. No other coach has ever given Marks a chance to play, he was always just a locker room guy, easy going and always played garbage minutes. So when I complain about Scott’s coaching, I guess I’m also thankful (I use that very loosely) that he was willing to let Marks play.

Now only if Thornton and Collison got more minutes…

I feel sorry for Chris...

I mean he should be on a contending team, yet alas he is not. I think he may have a deep desire to leave as Lebron, Wade, Bosh and others might have the chance to move next summer.

Unfortunately...

That’s the way it is for a lot of really talented NBA players who deserve to win a championship ring. I’m happy KG has been able to be moved to Boston after 10 years with the T-Wolves.

Yeh

I feel that’s the only way Chris is going to get a championship if he goes to a big market city.
