Hopefully Tyson looks a little more spry out there tonight.

Hopefully. We need TC out there crashing them boards!
If he can get a good pick n roll going with CP3 and catch a few oops, then he’ll free up D-West on the block. We all know we need D-West out there scoring the ball if we wanna win this game.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!

Optimistic
With so many series in the playoffs right now with teams tied 1-1, it gives me a lot of optimism that the Hornets can pull off tonight’s game and win the series!
Let’s go Hornets!! Woohoo!

The offense stalled soon as the subs came in. alot of standing around again.
by RonD on Apr 22, 2009 10:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Another thing is
our play is actually at its worst when we have some starts in and some backups (ie when the bench is gradually being removed). That period is far worse than the actual bench play.
It’s almost as if our guys start relaxing just because they have 2 or 3 starters back in.
by atthehive on Apr 22, 2009 10:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
You know
Prior to the Nuggets acquiring CB, they reminded of the Colts teams before we won a Superbowl, powerful offense, no defense.
by metal_militia on Apr 22, 2009 10:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Would you say the Super Bowl winning Colts had a good D
Or they just got a real hot streak in the playoffs? It always impressed me how that team turned it on those playoffs, and I guess I chalked it up to coaching.
by atthehive on Apr 22, 2009 10:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was a combination of both
The biggest difference to the atrocious run D of the Colts in the regular season and the fabulous run D in the playoffs was due to a change at Strong Side LB (putting in Rob Morris over Gilbert Gardner), the return of Bob Sanders, Booger McFarland getting acclimated to the system, and a slight tweak in the defensive scheme.

Let’s continue to play great D and then start scoring on offense. It works well most of the time, I’ve heard.

Forget it
THey don’t look like they even believe its possible.
They are not even stopping the ball. THey aren’t playing together.

I dont know what happened to this team...
Its like the injuries just completely destroyed the chemistry and their ability to play smart, effective basketball. Tyson is obviously very limited, but its not just that…. everything is just off right now and has been for a while.

I want to punch Dahntey Jones square in his Posey-esque, sarcastic-ass smirk.

You can thank Byron Scott for that smirk.

I would punch him right in his mouth if he did that while I was playing.
Credit to the guys for not completely losing their cool.

Hornets aren't moving much off the ball offensively
And not moving to box out defensively. They’re not really moving to guard in transition. Their sets are so static they might as well be playing wheelchair basketball. Are the Hornets usually this sluggish?

I wish it would just be over at 2-0
I’m tired of watching them lose but I can’t freaking stop watching. I’m ready for the season to end though. I know, I know… everything is supposed to change when the scenery changes, but this Hornets team has failed just about every big “challenge game” they’ve faced this season outside of 2 or 3.

But they need him on the floor for offense.

The Hornets have definitely been jacked on the calls
Is is the reason we are losing? No. Its still really horrible though.

And surprisingly they have 2 more free throws made than Denver
Its just the defense that’s killing them

if you've played basketball,
its frustrating when you get called for fouls for the same play where they get a no call. maybe that is frustrating them. its up to scott to push them mentally to win this game.
by nikkoewan on Apr 22, 2009 11:43 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I have no clue. Maybe if the officiating was more fair throughout...
Maybe just maybe this would be a different game if we were in NOLA.

I don't understand what the problem is he didn't look for his shot at all.
I know he wants to get others involved and I know they have really bottled him up but he only took 9 shots

And probably season.
Sorry but I’ve been an optimistic guy all season, constantly telling other fans that its just a bump in the road, that its just an injury, and just wait till next week… it aint over till its freaking over. Right now, it feels over to me. Not gonna stop me from watching, but yeah… this sucks.

I’m not really a big Byron Scott Fan but the problem in this game was mostly execution….. horrible turnovers, missed shots and lackluster defensive effort. Its on the players.

Well
Last year the we blew out the Spurs in pretty similiar fashion – if i remember right, they were both caused by big 3rd quarter runs in which the Hornets had a lot of transition opportunities.
Unfortunately, I don’t think this Hornets team can pull a Spurs and win 4 of the next 5.

To be fair
New Orleans really doesn’t have much of a team left out there. Denver is way deeper than them.
Does Lord Byron get through to his players? They’ve seemed pretty listless out there. Not really much creativity on offense or execution on defense.

Give him the ball at the 3 point line. No one will guard him and he should just take the damn three. I have seen him do that to teams way too many times in my life in the past
