I need a game link!
I have to watch this game, anyone got a link?
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
I'm on League Pass right now
I’ll let oyu know if I see one. Does Phoenix’s constant flopping annoy anyone else? If they spent less time falling down all over the place, they might actually be able to play some defense.
Dont worry I found one.
Yeah im watching a Phoneix feed and their like “Nash just got manhandled, hes no flopper!” I dropped my jaw.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Hahaha nice
And yeah. Their annoucners are kinda over the top. Also nice to see Nash can flop on the offensive side.
Suns playing very lackadasial...
I know they aren’t know for their defense, but they are barely putting up any resistance. Under D’Antoni they were atleast an average, if not exceptional, defensive team.
Hope they continue.
And yes, they flop hard.
Stupid call
I hate how Pierce/Nash/Kidd get away with leaning into the defender. Yes, you got him in the air. But that doesn’t mean you can follow him with your body and crash into him. Those 3 guys consistently get the call, and it’s total garbage.
Haha Dudly
He won the dunk comp in my NBA Live season
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
What I am liking...
Is the time that David is spending on the bench. Keep him there for as long as possible.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
We could be working a lead.
Instead we just keep them in the game. This is what kills us! It greatly annoys me.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Oh yeah there was lots of great stuff.
But its those “little” runs that keep other teams in the game. Elite teams would extend the lead instead we keep it close.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Nah not neccesarilly
I’ve seen the Lakers, the Spurs, etc… let a lot of inferior teams hang around. It happens. Granted, it probably happens to the Hornets a bit more often… but yeah.
Yep totally agree.
But when was the last time the Hornets blew out a team early in a game and kept it that way. Im not trying to argue its just a frustration of mine.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
I hear ya...
The last full on blowout was probably against Orlando.
And then Golden State after that almost qualifies as well… though they made a run in the 4th.
Alot of missed jumpshots
keeps teams in games. And dumb fouls & and1s.
How was that not a foul on Shaq though
He jumped into Mo
David how can you not see Shaq coming.....
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Why does the bench never know what to do.
they look so lost
Its odd...
It was just a week or two ago when the bench strung together several good games in a row…. which corresponded with the starters not playing well for once. Now its back to good play by the starters and no bench. It’s like the Hornets aren’t allowed to have both.
Thats a joke.
If Shaq is running the fast break you know your bad.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
So did Hornets offense
Alot of standing around shooting and missing and no rebounding.
The transition between
the bench and the starters coming back is just as bad as the bench itself. It’s preposterous that Byron hasn’t found a way to somewhat fix this 78 games into the season.
Blazers are not up 12
after being down 19! 4 minutes to go but Tim is not playing. I think they will rest him these last few games. They can fall in the standings
Hornets playing suns
non defense to end the half. THey have to play harder defense.
Nervous to only have 2 poor lead.
But all signs point to us being the better team. Let’s how we prove that in 2H.
I know this is futile
But does anyone have a working Hornets link they are watching?
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
This is embarresing, im going to get some food.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
OHHH NOO!!!.
Devin Brown is in……………………………………………
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
I have no clue why...
But the Hornets seemed to be completely mystified by Phoenix playing zone.
It doesn’t look good right now, hopefully the 4th quarter starts well.
I don't think they have it in them after last night honestly.
they are more than horrible covering the 3. i mean they are not trying.
this will be a bad loss but whatever.
I cant make them out
There's no one on the team that can even begin to guard Shaq..
And they can’t (or… aren’t) rotating quickly enough to cover the open shooters.
true but when he was out they still couldn't score or defend.
They have Julian going one on one? Might as well have Brown in giving them empty possessions.
I dont get this Hornets team...
I just dont….who are they on a night to night basis….??
Inconsistent.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Again
It’s all about Tyson. David West has guarded Shaq the whole night, meaning constant double teams.
We miss TC.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Seriously Rasual? Airball?
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
These suns commentators are awful....
They say the Suns D is really giving it to the Hornets…I am appalled
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Games over.
I dont mean to be negative but these guys show no heart which is something I find really frustrating.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
Yeah they look sluggish
7 point game but times running out
5 points, 3 minutes; easy! LETS GO!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
I disagree on that count...
They have looked sluggish tonight yes, particularly in the 3rd and that was very dissapointing – but they still have plenty of heart left – you don’t win as many close games as the Hornets have without having some passion left.
Agreed.
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
You know this teams is dumb
why would you foul when they had 2 seconds on the clock?
On that play the ball wasn't even inbounded yet
it looked like he fouled him purposely. i was sure they would get freethrows and the ball. if he scores with 2 seconds then so be it but that foul gave them 14sec to score rather than 2.
Yeah I know I'm just saying...
Shaq was unstoppable near the basket, as he generally is, so I can understand Ely getting a foul trying to prevent Shaq from getting too close. It was a bad play though… obviously
the man is a brick wall
ask Mo and Devin. I’m sure thats why everybody stay away from the paint. they were already tired and they werent trying to get hurt trying to go to the basket with him in there.
Ah well
I hate these announcers!
Devin Brown is a basketball God!
Yeh they are awful
They think the Suns play good D….They also seem to think they are in the playoff race despite not mentioning it.
New Orleans Hornets: The most inconsistent team in the NBA.
I didn't realize how crazy a flopper Nash was
I mean we might have to rethink the whole “Nash is a bad defender” considering all these ridiculous fouls he draws.
Another loss to a mediocre team at home
This is getting old
Sigh...
Well, whatever. Some nice shots down the stretch but too little too late…
I don’t really care that much at this point as I think the 6 seed will suit us best as long as SA remains the 3 seed.
We have to take care of Dallas
if we want to hang on to that seed, and they are playing a lot better right now.
Why did Ely foul Nash when we were down 3
with about 30 secs left? I might be missing something but i think we should’ve played them straight up or at least fouled Shaq.
The Hornets bench is fucking horrible.
Melvin Ely was supposed to guard Shaq, but he fouls him for no reason with 2 seconds on the clock? And Julian Wright was absolutely horrible in the third quarter. He ran the shot clock out and his shots didn’t even hit the rim. Damn, this team threw the game away. This is enraging.
