Can the Hornets win 65+ games?

[BRHornet45]

sons for those of you who remember, long before the season started I predicted that the Hornets will win at least 55 games this season. As usual I was mocked for my prediction, but I am beginning to think I underestimated this team. 65 wins?

[Darrin]

81-1

[sribb43]

68-14 and lose in the 1st round

[noob cake]

Obviously yes, HOF PG leading the way

[BRHornet45]

81-1

son I like your spirit, but lets be realistic here ... for anyone who has truly watched the Hornets this season (not just when their team plays them) ... you will see this team is very solid especially from a defensive stand point.

[Venti Quattro]

no. but that's because no one will

[BRHornet45]

1. Hornets 65-17

2. Lakers 62-20

3. San Antonio 56-26

4. Utah 55-27

5. Oklahoma City 54-28

6. Golden State 51-31

7. Dallas 50-32

8. Denver 49-33

[Venti Quattro]

lol son you're way too over your head. so far the hornets have had a home-intensive schedule

[Pelicans78]

65 will be easy. The question will be 70.

[Pelicans78]

lol son you're way too over your head. so far the hornets have had a home-intensive schedule

Maybe, but they've also beaten the Spurs and Bucks on the road on a b2b. They start a 4 game road trip now so that will even up the schedule.

[BRHornet45]

lol son you're way too over your head. so far the hornets have had a home-intensive schedule

son the Hornets had the toughest schedule in the NBA throughout the first 9 games! ... LOL at this nigga being a Laker fan gonna talk about the schedule!

[Spursfan092120]

83 win ecstasy

[ogait]

You were right in the first place. Something around 55 will be their record.

[DeadlyDynasty]

nah, but your preseason pick of 55 certainly looks attainable at this point

[Venti Quattro]

son the Hornets had the toughest schedule in the NBA throughout the first 9 games! ... LOL at this nigga being a Laker fan gonna talk about the schedule!

lol son but you were playing most of them at the comforts of your home... nothing to see here

[bbarry]

54-28 and 4th seed in West would be my current guess. Waiting for them to lose 2 or 3 games in a stretch of about 10 games to see how they react.

[BRHornet45]

lol son but you were playing most of them at the comforts of your home... nothing to see here

lol son the Hornets are 3-1 on the road with a road win over the Spurs. the Lakers have yet to even play a legit playoff team and lost to the Nuggets and Suns who will both be fighting for that 8th seed.

[Darth_Pelican]

54-28 and 4th seed in West would be my current guess. Waiting for them to lose 2 or 3 games in a stretch of about 10 games to see how they react.

I'll take 2 or 3 losses out of every 10 games all season long. That's either 8-2 or 7-3 every 10 games, considering the best record in the NBA last season was a .744 winning percentage.

[j.dizzle]

Doesnt matter, NO aint built correctly to contend for a title.

[BRHornet45]

Doesnt matter, NO aint built correctly to contend for a title.

son we have one of the best bench's in the NBA right now ... led by two All Stars, one being an elite top 5 player. our new wingmen are solid and Okafor will make the All Star team this year. we stacked

[100%duncan]

son you will win 81 games this regular season son. but will choke in the 1st round son

[Blake]

1. Hornets 65-17

2. Lakers 62-20

3. San Antonio 56-26

4. Utah 55-27

5. Oklahoma City 54-28

6. Golden State 51-31

7. Dallas 50-32

8. Denver 49-33

that's a generous spot for Utah considering all the Deron Williams bashing you do

[BRHornet45]

that's a generous spot for Utah considering all the Deron Williams bashing you do

son they are a damn good team and Williams is a damn good point guard. I have never taken that away from them. I just think its absurd how SOME people on this message board overrate Williams. He is top 4 point guard AT BEST ... and he just got dick whipped harder than Erin Barry by Tony Parker tonight.

[rayjayjohnson]

1. Hornets 65-17

2. Lakers 62-20

3. San Antonio 56-26

4. Utah 55-27

5. Oklahoma City 54-28

6. Golden State 51-31

7. Dallas 50-32

8. Denver 49-33

hornets bounced in 5 in round 1.

[crc21209]

No. They'll win between 48 and 55 games or so...

[Killakobe81]

what about Rondo by Westbrook? so where does he rank?

[Rooster Fish]

sons for those of you who remember, long before the season started I predicted that the Hornets will win at least 55 games this season. As usual I was mocked for my prediction, but I am beginning to think I underestimated this team. 65 wins?

I can smell you.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i think they will finish with best record in the league and a upset 4-0 beating exit in the first round

[bbarry]

54-28 and 4th seed in West would be my current guess. Waiting for them to lose 2 or 3 games in a stretch of about 10 games to see how they react.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
back to back losses....... ouch. I think they've cooled off already. the way they lost against the jazz shows they are back to their old defensive selves.

[Rummpd]

56 4th is West is their celing. Spurs, Lakers, Mavs will have better records and the Thunder will go battle the finely coached Hornets in the first round in an exciting series that could go either way

[Jt.ONE]

50-55 wins TBH

wouldnt be surprised if they don't break 50 though either..

[BRHornet45]

sons there is absolutely noway in hell the Mavs will finish with a better record. Lakers and Spurs? more than likely yes ... but not the Mavs.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

sons there is absolutely noway in hell the Mavs will finish with a better record. Lakers and Spurs? more than likely yes ... but not the Mavs.

A terrific start. yet just 1 game up on the Mavs:lol
yea no chance

Quoting myself, again. Well, Hornets have since won @ portland but lost to san antonio and oklahoma.

I have now seen how they reacted after losing to Clippers, as stated in my initial post. They are now 1-3 since my initial post, lost 4 of 5 last games, and 5-5 in last 10 games.

I think it's safe to say they aren't 'hot' anymore

[DesignatedT]

:lmao hornets

[jason54858]

sons there is absolutely noway in hell the Mavs will finish with a better record. Lakers and Spurs? more than likely yes ... but not the Mavs.

I don't know what your is beef with the Mavs, :lolbut that being said predicting that you team is may 65 games in November is silly especially when your team is perennial losers. Win 40 before march than we'll talk.

[TE]

BR... the hornets had a fluke start.


Why can't you just let that fact dissolve into your perceived reality?

[Fabbs]

sons for those of you who remember, long before the season started I predicted that the Hornets will win at least 55 games this season. As usual I was mocked for my prediction, but I am beginning to think I underestimated this team. 65 wins?
something like that yeah.
64-34 Spurs over Bees in the 2nd qtr.

[024]

definitely looks possible.

[BRHornet45]

sons at this point I don't expect them to win 40 games.

[Agloco]

That trade really nailed you guys in the pooper. :lol

[HornetLoveJones]

lol @ Hornets

lol @ "team play"

LMAO @ thread

[DPG21920]

Kicking a man when he is down. Low.

[YoungB]

sons there is absolutely noway in hell the Mavs will finish with a better record. Lakers and Spurs? more than likely yes ... but not the Mavs.

Thanks for raising the bar.

[jeebus]

1. Hornets 65-17

2. Lakers 62-20

:lol

[jARS mEsH sEt]

LOL did this guy really put the mavs @ 50-32 for the season? Fail fail fail fail fail fail fail.

[sribb43]

sons there is absolutely noway in hell the Mavs will finish with a better record. Lakers and Spurs? more than likely yes ... but not the Mavs.

:lol

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Do you know what the Mavs need to do to hit 50-32 this season?

If they win roughly HALF OF THEIR GAMES they will end up at 50-32. Half. If they suddenly turn into a .500 team, the Mavs end the season with 50-32. Same with the Spurs.

What are the chances that they will suddenly turn into a .500 team? Not likely.

Mavs and Spurs will win 55-65 games.

[ohmwrecker]

Just a little swamp gas and bad squirrel . . . nothing to see here.

[greensborohill]

sons there is absolutely noway in hell the Mavs will finish with a better record. Lakers and Spurs? more than likely yes ... but not the Mavs.


Next time you think about posting about the Mavs. . . . don't. You're just a failure.

[Amarelooms]

Son man up and give the Mavs an apology. They are much better than your joke of a team the Hornets. Show some respect....The Mavs will probably win 55+ games while the Hornets 45 if they are lucky.

God bless you despite your hate for the Mavs and idiotic takes son

:elephant

[Indazone]

BRHornet, ouch at this entire thread. To make matters worse, AOL Fanhouse weighs in.

December 12 2010 Last updated at 05:02 PM ET

Hornets Continue to Sputter With Comically Bad Shooting Day

The Hornets have lost eight of their last 12 games. They haven't scored 100 or more points in their last 12 tries. At this point, the only time people talk about their surprising 10-1 start it's in sentences like "Hey, what the heck happened to the Hornets after that surprising 10-1 start?"

Well, New Orleans is now 14-9 after a putrid 88-70 loss to the Sixers on Saturday. And in this case, a twitpic is worth a thousand statistics about poor shooting (image courtesy of Derek Bodner from Liberty Ballers).

http://www.blogcdn.com/nba.fanhouse.com/media/2010/12/hornets-1292188798.jpg

Yes. The Hornets shot 14 percent in the first half and scored 23 points before the break.

The lowlight was a 10-point second quarter in which New Orleans managed to shoot 1 for 20 from the field. If you're wondering what that looks like, it looks like this.

http://www.blogcdn.com/nba.fanhouse.com/media/2010/12/hornetsshotchart.jpg

New Orleans scraped together enough makes to finish the game shooting 30 percent from the floor (24-for-79). Chris Paul even shot 8 for 12 from the floor. Unfortunately, Willie Green, Trevor Ariza and David West combined to hit four field goals on 28 attempts.

In the end, it was the fewest points scored against the Sixers since January 30, 2008. In that game that game Royal Ivey started and played 43 minutes for the Milwaukee Bucks. The end.


LOL Green, Ariza, West

[Ghazi]

Heat will skulldrag the Hornets tommorow

lol 3-8 since fluke start :lmao

[Roddy Beaubois]

lol at anyone who took/takes BR seriously.

[Agloco]

[HornetLoveJones]

lmao losing to the champs 3 times

rofl 12-14 on the road... a LOSING RECORD ON THE ROAD for a team that's not gonna have home court in the playoffs

funny sh*t

[Bito Corleone]

1. Hornets 65-17
2. Lakers 62-20
3. San Antonio 56-26
4. Utah 55-27
5. Oklahoma City 54-28
6. Golden State 51-31
7. Dallas 50-32
8. Denver 49-33

Those are some great predictions. So great, in fact, that not one single team is on pace to be where you thought they'd be. You get a consolation prize for guessing the record of the 3rd place team if this pace holds.

Current pace:

1. Spurs 69-13
2. Mavs 57-25
3. Lakers 56-26
4. Thunder 54-28
5. Hornets 50-32
6. Nuggets 48-34
7. Jazz 47-35
8. Blazers 43-39

I agree. I was just merely showing the pace for each of the playoff teams thus far.

[DMX7]

Hornets are on pace for 64 wins... if the NBA extends the season to 104 games.

[HornetLoveJones]

LMAO Cra-P 3 shut down by Monte Ellis

... MONTE ELLIS

Speaking of defense, No 'D' West still proving if you want a layup he'll let you right through

[boutons_deux]

Hornets are 1 L out of 8th seed, 2 Ls from the lottery.

There are 6 WC teams with 24 - 26 Ls, all battling for 5th - 8th seed.

[TDMVPDPOY]

they are still on pace to win 65 games if you include next years schedule

[HornetLoveJones]
