Game 8: Hornets @ Mavericks

that this is a trap game for the Mav’s. Haha.

Is he a PG or SG?

I’m much less optimistic tonight than I was last night. Especially with the way Dallas has been playing, I almost feel like the sacrificial lamb going into this evening. Dallas, in general, has been a huge disappointment but that should have been expected. Odom, while a great versatile player, has never performed without the guidance of a hall of fame type coach. Carlisle is terrific but he can’t communicate with Odom. Vince Carter has never lived up to his potential anywhere, no reason he should now (and it’s arguable how much potential he has left). They let Chandler walk to build for next off season and guys like Kidd and Terry are playing like they already won their ring and that’s that. All that said, Dirk’s still a top five player in the game and Dallas is still immensely better than New Orleans. I’ll be optimistic tonight and I’m a masochist so I’ll watch all of it, but it may be tough.

Go Hornets!

I almost spit it out when he made it.

Just saw a Kardashian whale in the stands wearing a massive rock…

disgusting…

Has gone from toughest division to one large fluffy pillow

Anyone out there?

Jeeeeesus

Mad much?

With a double-double

Where is everyone? Helllooo?

I really thought the Hornets had a shot

Are the issue tonight.

Guy is playing his heart out tonight

7pts and 4 rebs so far. Absolutely unnacceptable. It’s not like he’s playing D.Howard

Good technical Monty

Rough night for New Orleans – all the different commentators keep on saying the same thing every game.

and seeing some Ayon…noticed he played earlier.

Ping-pong

Squeaky looked good… Don’t know when this bleeding will stop but Aminu sad to say is a slim bandaid on an open gash. His game is crazy cuz he tries and messes up alot then sometimes he dosen’t try. Kaman is a catch and shoot guy. I cringe when he puts the ball on the floor because more than a few times, he’s called for traveling or loses the ball. Based on the lost identity of this team, I kinda miss Willie Green. Not that his talents gave the team an identity, he’s a vet G thats was used to the system and didn’t mind driving to the basket. Not like his bricks were worse than what’s being thrown up now. Our record is KINDA understandable when you see who’s NOT playing and we NEVER had Jack, Gordon, Ariza, Okafor & Kaman on the floor together. It just hurts when you lose 2 allstars and fall immediately like Cleveland but with injuries, are worse than Cleveland. I feel when our starters come back in a couple of weeks, and a week or two playing together, we’ll be much better but prob too late to make a playoff run.

About what you’d expect unfortunately from the squad coming in. Vince Carter (I still remember their game against the Magic when that fool had 50 points) seems to always take it to New Orleans but that’s not the reason they lost the game either. The Hornets aren’t a great team to begin with, and when you add the depletion to the roster, it gets even worse. The team played hard tonight but the depth differential showed as the game went on. The officials were bad but were no reason that the team lost the game. Three technicals in one game is unacceptable from the team. Sunday may be just as tough.

Go Hornets!
