I'll have a double recap up of the LA games after this one.
Couldn’t get to it today.
Random thoughts:
- Looks like Peja’s back in the starting lineup. JuJu has certainly got his fair shake of it thus far, and has been terrible.
- For some reason, I keep having this impression that Thornton is really small. Last night, I finally got to see him for the first time in a while… and he isn’t that small. I don’t see why he couldn’t start at the 2 and do an adequate defensive job.
- Going off that though, I don’t think Thornton/Peja would be a viable 2/3.
- Chris Paul leads the league in PER, TS%, eFG%, and Win Shares. This after a “bad” game last night.

Thornton
Is 6’4", 205 lbs. I’d say that’s just right for a 2. Sure, 6’6" would be great, but it ain’t 6’2". Nor is Marcus 175 like BB6, or 160 like Collison.

Baron
will keep posting up Collison. He might need help on that. Baron loves to post, especially against smaller guards.

It's just not fair lol
He’ll do better against the second unit of LA

He used to try against CP3
before Chris beefed up and proved that wouldn’t really work against him.

Marcus needs to stay with his man.
having trouble staying with butler/davis around screens. Got a few open looks already. But yeah I’m loving this group. I think playing with the youngsters has woken Posey up perhaps.

Solid effort by the bench
Collison/Thornton/Posey/Songaila/Armstrong. Nice.

Shot not falling so he gets to the line. Who else on this team does that?

I’d rather see Devin shooting a 3 than driving, but his bull rush drives haven’t changed much.

He's still Devin Brown..
I highly doubt he keeps this up for more than a game or two, but hey… its nice to see. And at the very least maybe it means this year’s Devin Brown is better than last year’s and perhaps equal to the Devin Brown he was a few years prior?

Nice half!
I wanna see a little more from Mek, but uh… no complaints otherwise. The D wasn’t great early but tightened up.

From the Times-Pic:
“Ike Diogu will be shut down for two more weeks after a medical exam determined that his strained left knee needs a therapeutic procedure”
Rotoworld mentions that his season could be in “jeopardy” ….

Yeah he has really improved in that regard...
Not neccesarilly the part of his game he needs to work on the most, but hey… I’ll take it.
by Caleb462 on Nov 9, 2009 11:26 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Rookies struggling with their shots tonight...
Collison in particular. He looks a little nervous with his shot maybe, either too strong or or too short.
Really, really glad to see them getting some extended time. The shots will fall eventually.
by Caleb462 on Nov 9, 2009 11:27 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
They need to take it to the whole to get it going. Good start on that Collison floater.
by LSUHornet17 on Nov 9, 2009 11:28 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes indeed
I think it’s jitters. Can’t complain about their defense either, and neither of em give up on plays.

Bleh
I hope this doesn’t make Byron second guess himself…
by atthehive on Nov 9, 2009 11:29 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The most important thing to me
Is that regardless of how the rooks have shot, they’ve never let the lead slip when they’re in. And that’s what the bench is supposed to do when you’re winning. Hey, expanding the lead is great, but playing even is okay to when you’re not shooting well.
by m-W on Nov 9, 2009 11:30 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
good point
They stay aggressive even when the jumpers arent going down. Good to see.
by LSUHornet17 on Nov 9, 2009 11:32 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Surely not...
I don’t think Byron is going to fret too much over some missed jumpers. Atleast I hope not.
by Caleb462 on Nov 9, 2009 11:31 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
he shouldnt
he knows this team lacked defense, and so far they’ve held the lead. I don’t see a change any time soon.

and Hilton outscored Emeka, and Byron played rookies.

Well. . .
I do love a Hornets win but I’m nowhere closed to sold after this game. Armstrong, Posey, and D. Brown played uncharacteristically well tonight.
