LOL WTF

Anyways I would like to point out what I said in regards to last nights article on Indiana Wanting Eric. I said he wants security and that he was just a young pup. If you can see that by just looking at him. Anyways today’s article kind of pinpointed that. First time that’s happen to me. Now lets go HORNETS and I think tonight’s Line up will Be Jack Marco Trevor Smith and Kamen. kamen plays allot better when he starts. Jack over Kidd

I think I just heard no Dirk tonight and I do not think Carter is playing either

Hmm This was posted on another blog anyone know anything else?

Monty knows something about Gordon, but can’t yet say it (WWLTV)
Very strange comment form Monty Williams about Eric Gordon; says he’d like to tell us everything he knows but can’t. Says Gordon will …

…they’re still “running tests” on Gordon’s knee and they’ll know more soon.

Instead of the Hornets finding a way to win

The Mavericks are finding every way to lose, but are still winning. This is a frustrating team to root for.

by njennings on Jan 21, 2012 9:23 PM CST reply actions

It may be frustrating

But they are playing exactly as we figured they would. I would say that they are still entertaining and exciting to watch. They fight hard each and every night. The fact that they are still losing means we probably get a higher pick. This is kind of what I was hoping to see from this team. They haven’t quit on us. They have been in games and are still without Gordon

Difference

The difference between this season and the one 2 seasons ago when the Hornets had a bad year was that, the team was at least exciting and fun to watch with MT5 and DC. The team, this year, is very bland and vanilla because of the defensive emphasis and the lack of an explosive scorer… or any semblence of offense

by njennings on Jan 21, 2012 9:43 PM CST up reply actions

I think they are entertaining

The games are certainly entertaining. This game went down to the last second, as have many others. Houston game went to OT. Those are exciting games to watch, of course with less than desirable results

Trevor Ariza

Of course he would take a 17footer on a potential game winner…

Ping Pong

Halftime adjustments are still hurting the Hornets. The 3rd quarter hurt, failing to capitalize on the Mavs mistakes was the nail in coffin.

I hope

That Proffesor X comes in on Monday and BLOWS UP on 3’s…because know one else can.
Also I think they need to hurry up and fix this crowded front court.

One question/ one observation/ one comment

-Does anyone else feel like I do that the Hornets are playing hide the ball on Eric Gordon’s status

- Many teams go through droughts in a game where it looks like they won’t score…the Hornets go through periods where it looks like they can’t score

- Kaman is awful..period..a turnover machine with way too much confidence in his offensive abilities.

Also this team is stingy on Fast Breaks...except for Ayon and Vasquez

by 247_Hornet on Jan 21, 2012 9:46 PM CST reply actions

Stingy

or stinky?

Stingy I could be 4 or 1 and whoever happens to have the ball will take it all the way.

Despite better angles from other players.

Seriously, how bad is Gordon's injury? I want to know too.

Is Monty going to say something about this?
