I think we all do
He was really being aggressive near the hoop and rebounding way better than Hilton. Anyone know what’s wrong with him?
Flu-Like Symptoms
Coach Scott is expecting him to play against Houston on Monday
Probably.
DEVIN BROWN SUCKS! FREE MO PETE!!

He's not hurt, I'll bet any money.
Coach Scott has a grudge against Mo Pete, it’s the only logical reason. This is the absolute worst bench ever. Byron had D-West going the whole 1st quarter then starting the 2nd too. Now he wants to start D-West in the second and takes him out with 3 minutes left in the first but he forgot to put D-West back in.

This is ridiculous
We have arguably the worst bench in the entire NBA, and are paying a player 6 million dollars a year without even letting him come in?
This is ridiculous
This bench unit is not going to work Byron!

Margin was 5...then the bench comes on...

I really hate to say it.
But Hilton has that helpless look in his eyes that Rasual Butler had last year. I don’t know what his issues are. But I don’t think he’s going to work it out here.
Hilton Armstrong is a disgrace to every center in the history of the NBA.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Disgraceful.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
TIGHTEN THE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
I know this team isn't going to make a run in the Playoffs...
…because when you score 2 points in a quarter and the other team scores 21….you wouldn’t see Boston, LA, Cavs or Spurs have this.

I can't believe what I'm seeing...
Are they really going to get blown out by the Bulls???
COME ON! This is just…. uh…. can we start the game over?
Have we seriously only scored 2 in the 2nd?
That is shameful.

Hahaha.... only 57%!!!!
But we’re allowing a 150 points/100 possessions efficiency….
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
I know Scott is a better coach than Del Negro...
But see how Vinny took that timeout… even though the Bulls still have an 18-point lead?
In the words of Basketbawful, I’m not sayin… I’m just sayin.
Yeah, he does
Scott really needs to start limiting his minutes. He was the man for the first 1/4 of the year, maybe even first 1/2, but he’s been garbage lately. I don’t know if he’s just tired or what… but playing him 30 a night is not helping.
But luckily they haven't helped Chicago
Atleast CP3 helped the team put together a run. 14 down at half actually sounds nice compared to what it looked like it might have been. I still say we win this.
D-West is giving us NOTHING tonight!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Did give us that Rebound
That lead to Paul layup

Not ONE defensive rebound! NOT ONE!

Ha. That makes me think of the Watchmen. Just saw that today.
After the Comedian says, they all say at some point how this or that is a joke.
Brilliant.
If you liked the directorial style of 300, if you like non-linear stories, with dark themes and gray morals. I loved it.
You do have to plan it ahead.
2:43 running time or something like that. But it’s not a movie that feels like it’s dragging on. Never loses you.
Nice
I saw Dances with Wolves last week and felt like strangling myself around Hour 2.
After which there were 2 more hours. Yeah….
We're still in it though no matter how bad we're playing (sans CP3 obviously)
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Too bad we don't have any three point shooters other than Sual
With Peja out. You know. Like Mo. Oh wait, we do have him.
"Hey Byron put me in!!"
“Nah Bowen go in and get me some HUSTLE plays!”
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Yeah what the hell Byron...
I wish I had his phone number. I’d say “Hey jackass! Yeah, I called you to call you a jackass. Also, put Mo Pete in the game. He’s sort of good.”
Well
Mo is only shooting 41% on threes. Devin Brown, on the other hand, is connecting on a stellar 29%, so it only makes sense that he should be taking 10 times as many threes as Mo.
Well Byron's old school.
He doesn’t like those new-fangled “stats”. Doesn’t believe in them. If you just work hard, then you must be good. What more could you need?
And the pictures of Byron cross-dressing that no one's seen yet.
As long as Devin keeps playing, that is.
The Hornets should start drafting players out of the strongman competition
Hey, maybe those guys can rebound? At the very least they’d always be good for a nice hard foul.
LOLLL Did you watch that?
I literally watched the Strongman for 2 hours a day last week.
It’s so unbelievably engrossing
Ha, I haven't watched the recent one...
But I’ve watched many of them before, and yeah, they are fascinating.
But seriously..
..when will Mo return? I remeber Byron saying he was happy just to have him in uniform.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Uh... leaving guys like Salmons open from beyond the arc is stupid, okay Hornets?
And wide open on an inbounds play with only 3 ticks left….
Blah.
We're getting so wasted (sorry to state the obvious)
But that’s how bad it is
Why is Chris Paul the only player who can play through adversity?
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Good question
He’ still determined, it shows in his face and in his play. I’m not sure I see that from anyone else.
CP3 has to absolutely take over if we want to win this game.
Let’s try to get it down to 10 by the fourth and then DONT PUT THE BENCH IN!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Problem is
If they can’t stop Chicago he can score 50 and they wouldn’t care because they are still winning.
David West is playing SO LAZY!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
How are these not And 1s?
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
All this team should be doing is concentrating on D
Because CP is the offense. Just play defense he’ll score
Any hockey fans here?
Posey should just drop his gloves and take someone out. We need that kind of fire. If Peja comes back we’ll be fine without him for a few.
Will these offensive boards pay off?

If we just play defense we'll be in it. LETS GOO!!

Anyone ever see the game where the Lakers
came back from 30 down to start the 4th to beat the Mavs? Like 2002 or so? It always gives me hope in games like these.
Yeah I always have that kind of hope
But it always makes it worse because you end being dissapointed 98% of the time. I’m not sure I can take anymore of this.
How long does Posey want to stay in the paint shifting pivot feet? F***ing MORON!!!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!

Not having Peja hurts the chance at coming back, too.
Especially with Byron refusing to let Mo play.
I'm still not sure how this happened
Man every single time I get excited about this team’s chances again they lay an egg like this. Blahh….. I guess you can say its just an off night but they shouldn’t be having off nights like this against a 29-win team during the most important time of the regular season. Utah lost today….. it was a perfect chance to jump up a little more in the standings.
This sucks.
Yeah, I'm not sure we can write this off as an off night
More like a night against an underrated team that completely exposes our utter lack of depth and foolish coaching. That sounds about right.
We should go out with this lineup to start the fourth...
CP3
Mo Pete
Julian
Bowen
Chandler
Every offensive play, screen and roll with Chandler and PAUL NEVER PASSES THE BALL UNLESS ITS FOR WIDE OPEN LAYUPS!!!!!!!!!!!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Words cannot express
how furious I am right now, seeing Mo Pete come in when we’re 30 points down… when we haven’t HIT A THREE ALL GAME AND HE IS A 3 PT SHOOTER.

How can this happen?

YOU MEAN MO'S NOT INJURED?!??!?!?!?!?!?
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
WHAT!?!?!?!??!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
John Salmons and Brad Miller absolutely DESTROY us no matter who they play for.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
lol i said the same thing
But its easy to hit shots when TC and DWest are nowhere near you!!!!! The bulls announcers made a funny but sad comment, They said it looks like TC is playing for the bulls and not hornets.
There’s absolutely no hustle or fight in this team.
Chris went to the end of the bench
you know he’s pissed
Yeah he definitely should be
Losing to an under .500 team when you are in the playoff race… and losing like this?? Just ridiculous.
8 minutes to go and Scott's pulled the starters
Never seen a coach give up like that before
Come on we're down 30 dude, give it up.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
by chandlerfan6 on Mar 14, 2009 9:29 PM CDT up reply actions
There was no way the team would have made up that 25 point difference or whatever it was
Giving up was the right move.
Hey look, I’m just as frustrated as everyone else is and I was just making a comment on how I have never seen it happen before
No you said Byron was wrong for giving up but why waste whatever energy they have left?
Devin Brown is a basketball God!

I was meant what I said, literally. “Never seen a coach give up like that before”. Didn’t make a comment on how he should’ve kept the starters and it was wrong to do so…
Word
I know, I was also just making a comment
Haha, I guess we are all really pissed… it’s cool dude.
Who cares.

Dude Mo Pete can shoot too?!?! But he hasn't played in 20 games too. Wow he's decent.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Let's get this down to a "respectable deficit".
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
I mean like under 20. Ya i know desperate right?
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Haha, yeah I hear ya.
Well I’ve had enough misery for one night.
I bet we beat Houston though. It seems like the team usually wins the game that comes after they embarass themselves.
I was thinking the same thing
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
by chandlerfan6 on Mar 14, 2009 9:40 PM CDT up reply actions
YAY ITS UNDER 20!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
I want someone to go balistic at this team.
Like Chris Paul or Scott to just loose it and swear at them because they need a kick up the ass.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Wasted opportunity.
Utah lost today and Houston is on the verge of losing they are down now.
