got beat by 35 points at home. dwight howard only took 1 shot. pietrus had a +48 in just 25 min of playing time. magic shot 60%, hornets shot 38 %.

[KidCongo]

Orlando was 19/30 from 3pt. Fuccckkkk.

[redzero]

Byron Scott thought that it would be a good idea to start garbage time in the first quarter.

Oh well. It's still just preseason, and Okafor and Digou were out.

[KidCongo]

Whats going on with Okafor Red?

[iggypop123]

phil jackson has basically implied he doesnt want to win in preseason its about seeing matchups.

[Darthkiller]

da magic got a steal in ryan anderson. i watched him all year last season he was really good . now he has been a consistent 20+ point scorer with magic. anderson can easily replace turkoglu.

[DPG21920]

The Hornets can end up being a really bad team this year. Okafor was a very good pick up, but something just seems off about them. I cannot put my finger on it.

Not Kings bad, but just worse than most expect.

Oh is that what you're supposed to do in preseason!?

[redzero]

Whats going on with Okafor Red?

Okafor has a mild toe strain. The Hornets are sitting him out for a few weeks so he doesn't become Tyson Chandler 2.0.

When ex-Captain Jack comes to New Orleans, nobody will be laughing then.

[Lars]

Im pretty sure SJax is not the answer.

[NoOptionB]

It's going to be great watching the Spurs whoop up on David West.

Oh, please no! I'm so afraid of DeJuan Blair, the best rookie of all time.

[NoOptionB]

No Chandler. Easy money.

[redzero]

No Chandler. Easy money.

Really? The Hornets didn't have Chandler before (along with Peja and Posey), yet the Spurs still managed to lose. Hell, the Hornets beat the Spurs with a hobbled Chandler, and you think they're going to do worse with a better, healthier Okafor?

[lil_penny]

They need to get paul some help up there bad

Uh, yeah. Spurs are going to own the shit out of the Hornets. No smack, just facts.

Dude, may I see that crystal ball of yours?

[Chieflion]

Dude, may I see that crystal ball of yours?
Just ask Dejuan Blair. He will give you the answer.

[eric365]

Pietrus +48 in 25 min ???

[fevertrees]

This wasn't in New Orleans.

[Ghazi]

121-63

[Morg1411]

Do you need one? I don't.

Hornets beat the Spurs?

I remember Chandler being a pain in the ass with his alley-oops and good defense 1 on 1 vs. Duncan.

[redzero]

This wasn't in New Orleans.

Yeah, I forgot. This was in Witchita.

Hornets beat the Spurs twice last season. I don't know why you're talking about the playoffs, because there's nothing saying these two teams will meet.

BDL's 2009-10 NBA Preview: New Orleans Hornets

Yeah, and the Spurs beat the Hornets twice, as well -- once without Ginobli (but with Paul, West, Chandler and Posey all present and accounted for on the Hornets end).

The difference now is that the Spurs got better this offseason. The Hornets got...Okafor. Not bad, but not exactly a landmark move, either.

The Hornets didn't have Peja in either of their victories while the Spurs had everybody. Also, Chandler was missing in one of the Spurs' victories and didn't play in overtime in the other.

Chandler played 45 games last season. Okafor is not only a better player, but he hasn't missed a game in two seasons.

[Mike D]

The Magic appear to be a pretty solid team from top to bottom. Their bench guys are solid and are reasonably young, sans White Chocolate. Gundy coaches them well, they play hard on defense, and have an offensive strategy that really matches up well with most teams.

[Hornets1]

OMG! The seasons over now! We lost a preseason game! Where is the nearest tall bridge? :bang:rolleyes

Not to maintain the debate, but Ginobli didn't play in the 2nd Spurs victory. But whatever, you seem assured of victory, so I'll let the cold hard reality settle in when the time comes.

Wouldn't be alarming if it didn't seem to have them following last season's trend of uber-suck.

Did I say that the Hornets would win a seven game series? No, you claimed that the Spurs would. I just pointed out the fact that the Hornets beat a complete Spurs team while missing key players.

1.) Okafor and Diogu didn't play.
2.) Scott was experimenting with line-ups, which is why the rookies didn't play until the end of the game.
3.) It's preaseason.

In all seriousness, you can't expect much from Diogu. The guy is a scrub, and he doesn't add much value at all. I'll give you Okafor however.

That said, your third point is all that matters. Preseason championships are something only the Blazers fans care about.

Diogu has shown that he can produce given the minutes he needs.

Also, the Hornets were undefeated in the preseason, and we all know how the season tuned out. You're right on that regard.

That's right, son.
