Son the team disappointed us all by throwing in the towel and quitting on the season.

[ElNono]

Son, good luck tonight. We all know the tank job started when you guys traded Bayless and Peja. Your team should be completely decimated come March. God Bless.

Son my contract is going to be up at the end of the season and I may consider taking my talents elsewhere or retiring from the NBA. It becomes more and more difficult to support this organization and their spoiled ass quitting players every year.

Son, Stern is running the show now, which should be a huge red light as far as empty promises and backroom deals is concerned. If I were you I would have moved to another state entirely by now.

[Cessation]

Son, I thought Hoodini was the Hornets leader?

Son I'm sure Chris Copperfield will get his usual 10-12 points by halftime then pull off his incredible disappearance act in the second half. Don't worry though because team leader and arguably the best pure shooter in the NBA Trevor Ariza will jack up about 20 shot attempts tonight.

I know that feeling...:lol

[redzero]

The Hornets are going to have another second half collapse.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lebron just made the best shot of the year..

[DPG21920]

What a shot.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Son, your Hornets are done for.

[TheKingOfMIA6]

what a shot by Bosh lol

[icem]

17 pt lead....

lol whorenets.

[jestersmash]

Heat slipping back into their iso-dominant offense, though. Shots have just been falling.

That Lebron shot was absolutely nuts.

[Ghazi]

impressive D

[jestersmash]

Oh wait, I saw a screen and roll with Damp and some passing afterward. Guess I spoke too soon.

[jestersmash]

Wow Lebron showboating.

[TheKingOfMIA6]

wow what happened?

[TheKingOfMIA6]

wait wasnt it just heats ball?

[Pelicans78]

Just checked the box score. Hornets struggle offensively and continue to see Marcus Thornton-DNP. Monty Williams will never learn his lesson. No reason to watch this team until Thornton is back in the rotation.

[j.dizzle]

Werent the Hornets in the game for like three & a half quarters? haha their offense just completely collapses at crucial parts of games. Oh well atleast they didnt only have 4 assists today :lol

They need a scorer on the floor to take pressure off of West and Paul yet they refuse to play Thornton. They have no other scorer like him on the team.

[HarlemHeat37]

Their offense is so predictable..

I've been saying play Thornton for a long time now, it's a pretty obvious move..a couple of Hornets fans here disagreed, just because they were on their streak:lol..

Their lack of weapons is killing them, and they have no variety on offense..

They run the Paul&West p&r, which usually works for the 1st half, until the other team adjusts to David West..the opposing team runs him off, and then their shooters can't make any shots..the Heat left Belinelli wide open for 3 every time tonight, and I don't remember if he made any, but he missed most of them..

Belinelli was shooting at a 45%+ rate from 3s for the Hornets earlier in the season, he's shooting 30% from 3s during December, where they've fallen off..one of the reasons for their decline..

They also don't have any post scorers, obviously..West will occasionally go inside, but not enough..Okafor isn't good enough to throw it inside to, other than maybe once or twice a game..

Paul really needs to adjust his game and start looking to score more often, they need him to do it..

[Pelicans78]

CP3 doesn't want to score this season. Afraid of going all out. Plus, he really can't take over games like D-Will, Rose, or Westbrook right now.

This team desperately needs to use Thornton as the 6th man. He could easily take pressure off of West and Paul. Otherwise this will be a stagnant. They seem to miss Peja too. They're 3-9 since that trade for Jack.

[BRHornet45]

lol sons is anyone surprised? Paul takes a pathetic 10 shot attempts in a tough road game whenever his scoring was desperately needed. what a fucking quitter

[MiamiHeat]

it looks like the owners want to leave New orleans?

why would they trade bayless and peja while they were doing really good earlier int he season?

Son, I'm disappointed you no longer carry females in heat on your sig, tbh
