David West and Rocky shine, but Chris Paul goes back to his usual self

[BRHornet45]

West drops 32, Belinelli drops 23, and Paul ... well he just passed the ball around and shot 0 for 9.

sons we should have completed the season sweep of the Celtics tonight had Paul shown up.

[Ghazi]

:lol Hornets
:lol 1st round exit
:lol BRWhorenet45

[Pelicans78]

don't forget Okafor and his missed layups.

[PGDynasty24]

Hornets/Lakers 1st round series. I'm calling it right now

[redzero]

If he doesn't go into a possession thinking "I'm going to shoot," he tends to miss. Why he would change his mindset after years of knowing when to shoot and when to pass, is baffling.

[Pelicans78]

Hornets/Lakers 1st round series. I'm calling it right now


Sweeeeeeepppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BRHornet45]

I WANT the 8th seed and the Spurs in the 1st round. GUARANTEED victory if that happens.

[BRHornet45]

the only team that scares me in the West in a 7 game series is the Lakers and that is because of the favorable officiating.

[ElNono]

I WANT the 8th seed and the Spurs in the 1st round. GUARANTEED victory if that happens.

Agreed. Easy series for the Spurs to kick off the playoffs...

[LakerHater]

:lmao

I WANT the 8th seed and the Spurs in the 1st round. GUARANTEED victory if that happens.

[NRHector]

still the fact remains the Hornets beat the piss out of the Spurs twice this season including a beat down in San Antonio ... not many other teams can say that right now.and right now that doesn't mean anything we are still at the top and the Hornets are so far behind that I don't see them on the rearview mirror :lol that 's also a fact

[Cessation]

BR is so clueless, it will be an epic meltdown, if Spurs get the Hornets in the first. I pray it happens, son.

[Harlem Preach]

7 games son ... its a 7 game series. should we post some videos of the Mavs vs Warriors playoff games??? ... records don't mean shit!

[ElNono]

7 games son ... its a 7 game series.

Probably no longer than 5, tbh... And that's assuming CP3 has one good game, which is no longer a given...

[NRHector]

7 games son ... its a 7 game series. should we post some videos of the Mavs vs Warriors playoff games??? ... records don't mean shit!riiiight they only mean something if is about the Hornets, you just posted the record between the Spurs and Hornets, come on BR you are better that this

[BRHornet45]

Probably no longer than 5, tbh... And that's assuming CP3 has one good game, which is no longer a given...

bro you scared or something?

don't worry though because more than likely the Hornets will get the 7th seed and you guys won't have to deal with em.

[ElNono]

bro you scared or something?

How do you get that I'm scared when I'm predicting your weak ass team wouldn't last over 5 games against us? :lol


don't worry though because more than likely the Hornets will get the 7th seed and you guys won't have to deal with em.

Not worried. I'll be just disappointed we didn't get the easier series, that's all.

[BRHornet45]

Son, don't despair... At least CP3 won't be taking a backseat to Jannero fucking Pargo on a playoff game 7 at home after this season...

lol NBA Hornets

[Xevious]

Oh God, I'd freakin' love for the Hornets to drop to 8. If for no other reason, to shut BR up. Memphis is the better team anyway. They'd give the Lakers (or the Spurs) a tougher time than the fucking Hornets.

[BRHornet45]

lol ignorance is bliss

So obvious that CP3 is dipping from NO asap.

[redzero]

So obvious that CP3 is dipping from NO asap.

Yes, cause it makes sense to quit trying more than half way through the season instead of demanding a trade before the trade deadline, if he didn't want to be here.

[Pelicans78]

Both times the Hornets beat the Spurs, Thornton had big games. Last time I checked, he got traded away. Without him, it will be a sweep.

[Indazone]

It's easy to see why the Hornets are floundering. First, CP3 has turned into a lazy doesn't give a crap player. Secondly, your coach is playing Trevor Ariza 41 minutes. You don't play a guy like Trevor big minutes. Trevor chucks the ball every chance he gets at a low percentage.

This is easy, sit CP3 down and play him 20 minutes a game. Hello Kitty could play guard better than CP3 right now. Give about 20 minutes of Ariza's minutes to Landry. Between CP3 and Willie Green they were a combined 0-13 vs the Celtics. Give Jarrett Jack more minutes in place of CP3.

Coach trying to convince David West to stick with Hornets (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/22/coach-trying-to-convince-david-west-to-stick-with-hornets/)
Kurt Helin

Monty Williams has proven a pretty good coach so far this season.

He looks like a lot better coach when Chris Paul and David West are playing. He admits as much. Those also happen to be two guys who can opt out of deals the next two summers. So Williams has set to work.

That starts with forward David West, who is expected to opt out of the $7.5 million he is due next season and test the free agent market. Williams told the Times-Picayune (http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2011/03/new_orleans_hornets_coach_mont_33.html) he has been working on West.


“He’s earned the right to choose and I’ve talked to him about that on a few occasions,’’ Williams said. “I’ve tried to show him how diligently I work and prepare so he’ll want to come back here.

“For us to be in position to keep him is a good thing, but there are going to be teams that come after him. But the cool thing is he knows what we represent and understands where we’re going. He’s going to be the flagship leading us there.’’

West could be the big domino here. Keep him and there is a chance of keeping Chris Paul because West can be a key guy to help build around. West goes and it becomes a lot harder to keep CP3.

It’s smart of Williams to lay the groundwork. But money is going to talk. With the NBA running the Hornets while the search for an owner, it will be interesting to see how much they are willing to offer (under whatever the new collective bargaining agreement allows).
