Speaking of our typical second...
I was interested in finding the avg points scored for the Hornets by quarter, but I couldn’t find that anywhere – so I just calculated them myself. If I did it right this is how it goes…
1st Quarter: 24.7 points average
2nd Quarter: 22.2 points average
3rd Quarter: 24.4 points average
4th Quarter: 24.7 points average
That confirms what we already know about the Hornets offense in the second quarter. Obviously it doesn’t take into account pace or anything of that nature, but I imagine pace stays pretty consistent across 4 quarters.
Nice, thanks for doing that
I calculated it myself also a few months ago, but with point differentials instead. If I remember right, 2nd was something like an average -6. So looks like nothing has changed.
Yeah I don't think the guy will ever be a consistent contributor
It’s a shame… he has athleticism and talent and all that, and we’ve all seen him have nice moments… even some really nice games, plus he seems like a cool young dude… but he just can’t seem to get it all together and he continually makes boneheaded plays.
Well, nice second quarter so far...
Maybe the team has to suck in the first quarter to guarantee a good second… haha.
Not too bad.
Closed the gap at the end of the 2nd. Now we need a solid second half.

Lots of games relevant to the Hornets going on tonight.
For the Hornets place in the standings… Go Hawks, Thunder, Lakers, and Mavs!
Eh.
Bass still isn’t playing the game Byron wanted him to, so he still wouldn’t plug into our system well.
I'm not worried about the Wiz
the Hornets will get this easily.
Here’s what Ben of Blazersedge wrote in January:
Every so often, the television show Cops will bring you a life-changing episode. Generally, it goes something like…
Multiple squad cars pull up on a trailer park to find a 1980s big bodied sedan on cement blocks in the front yard of a trailer. The cops, guns drawn, knock on the trailer’s door and a young woman wearing a long t-shirt with a graphic of Tweety bird and, apparently, no pants, answers with a dazed look on her face. The officers ask where her boyfriend is and then proceed to barge into the trailer looking for him.
The cameras enter the trailer to find trash piled up knee-deep throughout the house. Paraphenalia is strewn everywhere. Weapons are hidden underneath the kitchen sink. Then, one officer warily enters a back bedroom to find the boyfriend hiding under a bed and, while restraining him, they discover a young baby.
In the five or so minutes it takes for this scene to develop, the viewer goes from fetishistic intrigue, to excitement, to horror, to pity and, finally, to a state of complete and utter disgust at the family for neglecting and endangering its child in such a manner. By the time a commercial break rolls around, you shake the cheeto dust off your shirt and try to find a way to contact the show so that you can offer to adopt the child, to do something, anything, to help protect it from its parents.
Why am I writing all of this?
Because that family is the Washington Wizards and that child is basketball.

The opposing team going on a run to start the second and/or fourth quarter...
The sheer predictability of the ineptness of our bench makes me want to drive a nail through my head.
My guess
is Byron doesn’t want to outright say “he’s no longer in the rotation” so they keep hiding behind the injury excuse. Now as for why he’s no longer in the rotation, that’s anyone’s guess…
It makes no sense
I know Devin Brown can be quite useful sometimes but Mo Pete is obviously the better option. With the bench struggling like this it seems crazy to not throw Mo Pete back out there and atleast see what happens.
I don't see how Chris Paul doesn't absolutely want to kill the likes of Antonio Daniels, Devin Brown, etc...
The guy goes out there, nearly nets a triple double and brings the team back when it shouldn’t have even been down in the first place… and the reserves can’t even hold on to a 17 point lead? AGGGHHH… the fact that its expected only makes it worse.
I think we're learning some things.
We miss Peja. We desperately need Mo back. And Marks will be our standard rotation backup 5.
Yeah even when Peja isn't hitting (like this year)
the spacing he provides is still huge.
It’s funny how Butler I think actually provides less spacing than Peja despite shooting way better. Really shows you how much value the mere “reputation” of a three point shooter has.
I wonder if Marks can continue to produce
Seeing as how he’s already well past the number of games he usually plays in a season. I’m wondering if his low (no) production the past couple of games has anything to do with that. But maybe not.
Anyone DVR games?
We just got the clear path, which is 2 shots and the ball. But I could swear last game, we got the same call, 2 shots, but not the ball. Anyone recall that?
awesome
I didn’t think he was going to make it.

what the Magic did to the Bulls was just not nice.

107-79
and that was an improvement from about midway through the 4th.
