Hornets @ Rockets: Will you be able to ask BR how your ass taste?

[jazzypimp]

Dude, to put it short we need Houston to win... As much as I hate that team, I hope that you will be able to pull it out.. But doesn't new orleans own you guys historically??

[Double-Up]

I guess we're on the same page because we need this win to keep the 3rd spot and avoid the Lakers in the 2nd rd if we make it.

go... rockets... i think im gunna barf

[sribb43]

go... rockets... i think im gunna barf

I cheered for the Spurs on friday and now the Rockets tonight...I dont know what the hell is going on with me :vomit:

Is D-Will playing tonight vs. Clippers..if not Clips got a shot

[balli]

Is D-Will playing tonight vs. Clippers..if not Clips got a shot
He said he is. I give the Clips a chance anyways.

[sribb43]

He said he is. I give the Clips a chance anyways.

ya i just read on the Salt Lake Trib website that he intends to play....but after how much pain he was on friday night, i dont know how effective he can be unless he was faking like Paul Pierce and drop 40 and 20 tonight

[j-money24]

D-Will is not a Paul Pierce.
He knows how much those last 2 games are important to try aviod the Lakers.

Go Hornets!!

I expect HOuston to roll. Houston's defense is too good to let a 2 man show beat em. They won in NOLA w/o Yao last time.

Ghazi, how badly, deeply and passionately do you want NO to lose tonight? Please go into to detail.

No, New Orleans has never "owned" us. Ever.

No Chandler tonight, Yao is gonna have a field day.

[Spursmania]

The only time I want to see CP3 flop it up is tonight. Otherwise, it's hard for me to cheer for a brat.
So, CP3, get with the flopping, make sure the refs give you all the calls like they usually do and win this game. Let's go Hornets!!

Will fragile Peja and/or Chandler play?

[NIH]

Hornets will take this one, Butler & Peja will light it up from outside, and of course DX and CP3 will dominate.

[NIH]

chandler will most likely see action vs. SA on wednesday.

Someone take the little gymnast down a peg and send his right fibula into the upper deck.

[Pelicans78]

I'm hoping we sit Paul and West tonight. Yesterday's game was more important plus CP3 and West played close to 45 minutes. They need the rest to get them ready for the playoffs or Wednesday night in case the guys need to win in San Antonio. If the 7th seed is clinched by Wednesday night, I would rest those two for the Spurs game.

I really don't care for tonight's game. A win would be nice, but it would be dumb not to rest CP3 and West since they're playing 40+ minutes every night. If BS starts both of them, he should treat it like a preseason game. I want to see the bench got alot of action because they need the work, especially Hilton Armstrong and Julian Wright.

[Spursmania]

Voodoo dolls anybody?? We need some magic in n'awlins tonight!

BRhornet45 get your ass in here and tell Gazi how you're going to win tonight.

LOL son I would say we have about a 30% chance of winning tonight .... looks like Scott is going to rest both Paul and West so they probably wont play too many minutes. someone else has gotta step up ... (LMAO at that happening)

[Hornets1]

Someone take the little gymnast down a peg and send his right fibula into the upper deck.

Say what you want. That little gymnast has average of 33.25 pts/8 rebs/12.5 assists/4 steals/ 1.75 turnovers vs. the mavs this year. Maybe you should send that suggestion to Carlisle, seeing as he couldn't find a way to stop CP3 from porch whipping the mavs

[BRHornet45]

lol at little gymnast son ... I must say that sounds pretty damn funny. however Dirk tries his best to flop better, but his size prevents it from looking as dramatic. Dirk is the king of flops though. gotta give him props for that.

[DPG21920]

Why would the Hornets rest their players? This is a big game for them.

[Indazone]

If the Hornets rest their players then we should rest Big Yao and save him for the Dallas game.

[Pelicans78]

Why would the Hornets rest their players? This is a big game for them.

Last night's game was the biggest of the season. We really needed that win. Tonight's game at Houston will be very difficult since it's the second of a b2b and we need to rest CP3 and West since they're playing 40+ minutes every night. I really think we're not gonna win this game and BS should be realistic as well. We can get both guys ready for the Spurs game in case we need a win.

is it just your speculation that Scott will rest both players or you got some creditable source?

[Pelicans78]

is it just your speculation that Scott will rest both players or you got some creditable source?

It's speculation because Scott mentioned last week how he wanted to rest Paul and West before the playoffs started. Yesterday's win gave us the tie-breaker over Dallas and a 2 game lead over Utah. We haven't clinched anything yet, but tonight would be a good time to get Paul and West some much needed rest.

[Pelicans78]

Paul and West are starting tonight as well as Hilton Armstrong at center even though he didn't play at all yesterday.

[Ghazi]

Hornets are actually a 1 man team. David West isn't even that good. I could easily name 10 power forwards better than West.

[BRHornet45]

son don't bother with Ghazi ... he has had beef with the Hornets since the playoffs last year. He simply cannot accept the fact that the Hornets NOW easily own them and no matter how much money Mark Cuban has, he still can't BUY them a legit team.

Let's not forget Peja would be a 20PPG scorer if not for West's selfishness. At least that's what BR hornet told us.

[crc21209]

Can't believe I'm going to say this but...Go Hornets! :lol

[Pelicans78]

Killer 3 by Wafer after a nice 1st quarter. Wafer would be a nice SG to have on our team.

[Pelicans78]

Let's not forget Peja would be a 20PPG scorer if not for West's selfishness. At least that's what BR hornet told us.

He did average 23 pts a game when West was out for 5 games. Unfortunately he hurt his back again.

[Dex]

Beat those Rockets, sons!

[redzero]

Antonio "Mr. Freeze" Daniels is in. Time to blow the lead.

[BRHornet45]

sons does anyone need further proof of what a total joke our bench is?

[balli]

:lol

[Pelicans78]

It's like they don't run any plays when Daniels runs the point. Why are we posting up Posey constantly when we should run plays to get Peja and Butler open jumpers.

[BRHornet45]

It's like they don't run any plays when Daniels runs the point. Why are we posting up Posey constantly when we should run plays to get Peja and Butler open jumpers.

son Byron Scott doesn't know the answer to that either. it takes enough effort for him to just stand around with his arms folded looking clueless. LOL its hilarious how much Scott has said "changes will be made" in countless interviews all year long, but we have yet to see a damn thing change in the way he runs his ship.

[ElNono]

AD only plays well against the Spurs... he shot like 80% against us the last time we played... now I'm watching this game and see the fraud this guy is...

[ElNono]

LOL... DWest the ball black hole with the 24 sec violation

[fevertrees]

Peja AKA 64 million dollar man watch..0-3 (0-2 from 3s) with 1 rebound.

[Spursmania]

FYI:
Mavericks 38-36 with 3:26 left in the 2nd against the Wolves...

[BRHornet45]

LOL... DWest the ball black hole with the 24 sec violation

son I am not the biggest fan of West. that is well documented on here .... but he has been solid for us all year. mainly since the all star break. he is the only player outside of Chris Paul who can actually deliver. he just needs an attitude adjustment at times, but he is getting better.

[fevertrees]

Paul with the flop!

[sook]

lmfao i love our bench, Von wafer!!!

[fevertrees]

18-0 run

[sook]

Where the fuck is that little Ghazi bitch? Since our bench came in we are on an 18-0 run.


BENCH MATTERS

[Lars]

Defense holding Hornets to only 35 in the first half :D

[timvp]

Sons get your azz in gear.

[redzero]

Rasual is sucking up a storm, but Scott still doesn't put Mo Pete in. It baffles my mind.

[ElNono]

I'm so glad we let Scola go and kept Bonner...:pctoss

[ElNono]

Sons, we could really use a Hornets win...

[fevertrees]

Mark my words...the 64 Million Dollar Man will get 25 in the second half!

[Lars]

lol Ron Artest is something else.

[Ditty]

come on hornets

look like a mvp candinate

[redzero]

Scott is too much of a retard to actuallyuse more players.

[BRHornet45]

well sons this was expected .... without Chandler we have next to NO interior defense whatsoever. Paul and West are going to have to combine for at least 60 points for the Hornets to have a chance since no one else can step up, BE A MAN, and score the basketball. Paul only shot 4 times in the first half, expect him to explode ....Peja needs to be taken out behind the barn, ass raped by a donkey, and shot ....

[Ghazi]

To some extent, you only need 8 guys in the playoffs.

Hornets problem is their starting 5 more so than their bench.

CP3 will have to play 45+ minutes per game in the playoffs just for the Hornets to take a series to 6 (and lose).

[ElNono]

I heard he should return for the Spurs game next.

[BRHornet45]

wow sons!!! yet another WIDE OPEN brick from Peja!!! ***shocked!***

[Allanon]

Your Hornets are getting the shit beat out of them, had to switch this ugly shit to watch the ugly shit going on with Mavs/TPups

"Mavs have missed 13 straight shots"

[DPG21920]

I heard he should return for the Spurs game next.

Of course.

[GuerillaBlack]

No one is scared of Tyson Chandler, Hornets fans. He is average at best.

[BRHornet45]

come on Scott, just fucking bench Paul and West ... no need to stress them out over this shit. let the rest of the COWARDS on this team get beat into the fucking ground and embarrassed like they deserve to be.

Damn...

[Allanon]

You definitely got a shot at it. What seed do you want for the Jazz?

[Pelicans78]

Rockets are putting three guys around CP3 making leaving everyone else open. No one else can make shots. Butler is terrible defensively.

[DPG21920]

Holy.Shit.CP3.

That was fing dirt.

[Spursmania]

The plays I saw, Peja was standing around doing nothing. Is he at least making shots?

[Ditty]

god i hate the hornets they never do anything i want them too do

[Pelicans78]

Butler is 1-9, Peja 0-6. What a joke. Butler's playing terrible defensively as well. We need to bring in Posey now.

[balli]

You definitely got a shot at it. What seed do you want for the Jazz?
Given the way they handed our asses to us for a decade, I can't believe I'd rather face SA as a 6th seed, but Denver's playing too good right now.

Really either would be infinitely better than 8, but it probably doesn't matter as I doubt we beat you guys on WED or whenever the game is.

[DPG21920]

The Hornets would be a d-league team without Paul.

[BRHornet45]

The plays I saw, Peja was standing around doing nothing. Is he at least making shots?

hell no .. he hasn't done shit all year. that is his game plan. just stand in the corner and wait for the ball.

many Hornets fans will complain saying that coaching is not running enough plays designed for Peja, but don't believe that horse shit. Peja is given at least 8-10 wide open shots every single game. he just doesn't have the talent to knock em down anymore. washed up euro trash

[sook]

Hornets have only scored 5 POINTS THIS QRTR AND ITS ALMOST OVER!!:wow:wow

[Allanon]

6th seed versus Spurs would be a pretty good series.

The Lakers have officially lost the HCA chance tonight (after the Cavs win today) so I'm not sure what the Lakers do tomorrow versus the Jazz.

[BRHornet45]

Butler is 1-9, Peja 0-6. What a joke. Butler's playing terrible defensively as well. We need to bring in Posey now.

LOL what else did you expect from Peja? ... even against a shitty team he will only shoot 40-45% at best. against a good team like Houston you should know by his history that he wasn't going to do shit tonight.

[Pelicans78]

West needs to shoot quickly instead of pump faking and going to the basket.

[Dex]

What kind of collusion is this? Who does NO draw for losing this game?

If they were playing the Spurs, they'd be shooting like 90%......sons.

[fevertrees]

Scott just needs to pull Paul and West so they can get some rest. Throw in the towel on this one, and worry about the Spurs Wednesday.

[BRHornet45]

Scott is a fucking idiot. BENCH BOTH PAUL AND WEST! .... there is no need in stressing them over this game. let the rest of our heartless trash get stomped into the fucking ground like they deserve to be. the only positive thing about the Hornets disappointing season is MAYBE and HOPEFULLY they will kick Scott to the curb.

[Pelicans78]

He should have benched both from the get go. Tonight was the second night of a b2b and both guys played over 40 minutes. Of course they're tired. Same as Dallas right now since they only played 7-8 guys yesterday.

[fevertrees]

Chris Paul = Coach of the Year last season

[anonoftheinternets]

friggin hornets .... SUCK ... west plays like an allstar and then regresses in a matter of days. I have never seen such a streaky player

[redzero]

Scott wants to use all the starters the entire game, EVEN WHEN HE HAS PERFECTLY GOOD PLAYERS ON THE BENCH.

[anonoftheinternets]

yea i think a coaching change would do good here....

[BRHornet45]

well i remember at one point paul and scott had a public spat right? something about minutes or summin .... there were stories leakin out early this season.... i think hes gone after this season...

[fevertrees]

Marks is the only solid player this evening on offense...5-7 with 10 points

[anonoftheinternets]

ok done with this game...

[balli]

The Lakers have officially lost the HCA chance tonight (after the Cavs win today) so I'm not sure what the Lakers do tomorrow versus the Jazz.
Somewhere amongst the 12 billion articles/posts I've read today I thought I saw something about Phil planning on playing his starters... but yeah, in practice we'll see. I don't know if LAL would rather play DAL or NOH or us, but given our recent game, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to keep us in 8.

[BRHornet45]

well i remember at one point paul and scott had a public spat right? something about minutes or summin .... there were stories leakin out early this season.... i think hes gone after this season...

Scott's biggest problem is himself. he is too stubborn to change ANYTHING regardless of how badly something is failing. why he has been the coach of this team for 5 years blows my mind .... he should have been canned after the 2nd season.

[Spursmania]

Sorry Hornets. Really wanted you to win tonight...
I'm out of here..going to the Spurs thread.

[Morg1411]

Holy fuck. The Hornets suck ass. The one fucking time I wanted them to win, too. Oh, well, of course this means they'll bring their fucking "A" game to San Antonio on Wednesday...

[BRHornet45]

sons I already turned this bullshit off ... but holy shit I heard a rumor that Peja actually made A SHOT!???? wow! he is earning that $64 million one shot at a time!!! (it just takes him 7 attempts to make that 1 though)

[redzero]

Hell, Mo Pete gets millions for sitting on the bench. Isn't it great that we have a coach who knows when to put players in?

You can't take too much away from this game. Still, the Rockets may not ultimately have the offense to win it all this year, but they definitely have the defense. Battier looks better than he has all year.

Agreed. He's a damn good ball player and it's a shame he has to resort to bs tactics like that. I respect D-Will because he just straight up competes and doesn't fuck around with shit like that. He lets his game do all the talking.

I find it funny that people with floppers on their team whine the most about players on other teams who flop.

[Indazone]

The Rockets are not built for flopping. Yao did it early this year trying to take charges but Uncle Deke fixed him. Said a guy that is 7'6" should never be trying to take a charge and always always always go for the block. :tu

Aside from that, only other players on the Rockets I ever seen try to take charges on a regular basis is Scola and Battier and they take real charges. Never seen any of em flop.

[Rogue]

Congrats rockets, good luck for the post season as well.

[balli]

Battier and they take real charges. Never seen any of em flop.
:rolleyes Whatever. Battier goes down faster than a 5 dollar whore.

[redzero]

Rockets fans just have a selective memory. I also like the word choice.

[The Third Man]

Rockets fans just have a selective memory. I also like the word choice.

Scola and Battier flop. Absolutely. Scola tried to draw two charges against West and the refs weren't biting. It's a common practice and I am glad when the refs don't reward it. In their defense, there is at least plausible contact when they flop. You can't say that about every flop in the NBA.

The bigger question redzero- is flopping what you are taking away from this game? Your team got beat in every phase of the game and are limping into the playoffs. Flopping is the least of your worries.

The Hornets lost because they played like shit on the second game of a back-to-back. I am not even worried about Rockets players flopping, because I don't bitch about flopping. I just find it odd that Rockets and Spurs fans complain about CP3 flopping, when players on their teams do the same thing.

Do I like flopping? No. Am I going to bitch about it constantly like a crybaby? No. I wasn't making any excuses at all. The Hornets played like shit for the second and third quarters.

[Tmac&Luther]

Jesus, some of y'all need to learn the difference between Charge taking and flopping. Do we need basketball 101 around here?

Trying to get a charge IS NOT FLOPPING....it's a defensive weapon.

Newsflash, they don't have "NBA fundamentals "flopping".

I never say a player is a flopper when he attempts to take a charge on a player driving the lane, because he's either going to get the call or he's going to pick up a foul (something "floppers" don't have to worry about) and he does take contact. Battier is NOT A FLOPPER, he's a charge taker. The only flopper on this team is Scola and he only does it 1 out of every 10 games..usually only does it when a player flops on him. (just like last night...Paul flopped on him, Scola turned around and flopped right over Paul and got the tripping foul...he likes to give players a taste of their own medicine, which I like and find funny as shit) Infact, type in Scola and flopping on youtube and see what you get...you can't even really call him a flopper.
