Finally here.

Back from dinner. Then a bar. Then tanning. Thank you West Coast.

Giving up last second points once again...

Not too worried about the Sactown lead though… they shot expectionally well in that quarter, doubt it continues.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 9:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Yea, jumpers etc

Although that last Nocioni layup was pretty bad haha

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 9:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

So 2 former Hornet big men

retired jerseys tonight and yesterday night.

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 9:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Man the kings are hot

and these shots are contested.

But so is JuJu

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 9:51 PM CDT reply actions  

Ju-Ju

With another basket. Looking good.

by m-W on Mar 31, 2009 9:51 PM CDT reply actions  

Yeah. Can't say they're bad calls.

But is horrible by us to give away so many free points. Luckily, they’re fouling us just as much. Maybe, just maybe, the refs need to let everyone play.

by m-W on Mar 31, 2009 10:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

i cant see the game… why arent they giving JuJu shots anymore? he’s 6 for 6….

by trottsta on Mar 31, 2009 10:06 PM CDT reply actions  

Most of his shots were coming on random broken plays

Haven’t really drawn up shots for him… hopefully they do soon

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Does anyone else find Kenny Natt to be a scary human being?

He always looks angry and slightly confused which is usually not a good combination .

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 10:06 PM CDT reply actions  

WTF?

That’s about 5 loose ball fouls on the Hornets? I haven’t seen one of them live. That said, I haven’t caught the replays either. But it seems not right.

by m-W on Mar 31, 2009 10:09 PM CDT reply actions  

Eh

Just lots of contact

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 10:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

this defense is hilariously bad

And how is that a hanging on the rim technical? He HAD to pull himself back to the other side….

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 10:13 PM CDT reply actions  

You know

David is limping so he will be such a liability vs Nocioni with pump fakes. And with no shot blocker its an easy walk to the bucket for the kings.

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 10:13 PM CDT reply actions  

But did you see how bad Marks was on that play?

He tried rotating, changed his mind, slipped, and then watched Nocioni walk by unguarded.

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 10:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

I totally missed marks

but yeah they will have to do better in the second half on the defensive end.

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 10:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

I imagine they will

A letdown loss to the worst defensive team in the nba, perhaps the worst overall team in the nba… after the win against the Spurs? That would just be too cruel.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 10:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

they probably will at the start of the 3rd

then get bored in the 4th and allow the kings a huge comeback like last time

by trottsta on Mar 31, 2009 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

Man Peja sure looks sharp in a suit

Nice ceremony… although the whole kids carrying the banner thing was a bit overwrought. Still, good stuff… its nice to see good guys get honored.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 10:40 PM CDT reply actions  

Yeah.

Too bad they’re shooting 8-16 from deep. Keeping it tied that way, since we lead in just about every other stat.

by m-W on Mar 31, 2009 10:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

Okay so I realize that its Sactown

And maybe you dont wanna go balls out energy-wise against the worst in the league… but c’mon, playing up to opponents is great, playing down to them isn’t.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 10:58 PM CDT reply actions  

Good thing West is strokin it

This could be really ugly otherwise.

I really dont understand the lack of defense. Just don’t get it.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 11:08 PM CDT reply actions  

Kings look too fast for them.

Their bigs can dribble and shoot the long ball. Our bigs can’t defend out there and are easily turned around.

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 11:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

No interior D with West injured and Tyson out, and the perimeter… no way you guard the way Sactown shooting tonight.

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 11:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Butler man

find your shot dude. You killin me

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 11:13 PM CDT reply actions  

He was at 45 FG% and 42 3PT% just a couple of weeks ago

He’s dropped down to 44 FG% and 39% 3PT just in the space of like two weeks.

Its got to start falling again though… right? For a while there it seemed like he had absolutely mastered the hesitate – dribble in past the line, 2-pt jumpshot.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 11:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

There was a guy on the Hornetsreport boards...

Complaining about Butler’s slow shot release… and while I’m a big fan of Butler, he may have a point. There’s a lot of times that I wish Butler would just shoot it, he gets run off his jumper a bit too easily.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 11:19 PM CDT reply actions  

Eh

He does have a slow release, but he also has very good elevation and released right at the peak of his jump. I think he still makes a fair number of threes while being run at hard.

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 11:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Oh definitely his jumper is superb

It’s gorgeous.

And yeah you’re probably right… may just be his recent slump clouding my view a bit. Besides, its probably better to have guy thats more cautious with his shots than a guy whos constantly chucking them up.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 11:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ya'll see Weezy on the sidelins

He’s pumped up after that fast break

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 11:22 PM CDT reply actions  

"Trying to do what WE can"

Weezy talking about the Hornets. Since when is he a Hornet fan?

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 11:25 PM CDT reply actions  

Ridiculous

Nothing to do with defense anymore. Sactown is just bombing away.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 11:40 PM CDT reply actions  

Wow.

We won on a last second three and toes on the line by the Kings.

THE PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember what shaq said about free throws “I make it when it counts”

Big props to the phoenix. What a big shot…. damn, that was AMAZING.

by Caleb462 on Mar 31, 2009 11:44 PM CDT reply actions  

The sac announcers

sound so dead.

by Cablinasian on Mar 31, 2009 11:45 PM CDT reply actions  

That was gut wrenching

that took all excitement out of them. I was so sure this was over.

What a shot by Butler

by RonD on Mar 31, 2009 11:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

Not this time, Sacramento.

Oh, I thought it was over. Big Shot Rasual.

by redzero on Mar 31, 2009 11:49 PM CDT reply actions  

I'd feel bad for them

If it weren’t for all the horrible stuff they’ve done to us. Like stealing Vlade. Or that Artest game last year. Or stealing Bobby Brown.

by Rohan on Mar 31, 2009 11:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

That was why I watch basketball

I’m trying to quit smoking but damnit, I have GOT to smoke one for Rasual tonight.
