They are ing up my seedings.
Time to face reality...this team probably won't even get 50 wins after being hyped up as a contender in the Finals
They are ing up my seedings.
This was an easy one to predict. I had surmised all off season that the Hornets were just a 1 year wonder, and what do you know. Losing Pargo hurt as well, they lack guys who can create their own shots.
Think about it, relatively speaking, this is the same 40 win team from 2 years ago, only difference is CP3 elevated his game. But that is not enough to transform a 40 win team into a contender, especially when the roster is not stacked w/ youth.
Peja/Chandler/West have come down to Earth this year, like they were supposed to. A starting lineup with those 3 + Rasual ing BUtler contending?
I don't see how anyone can defend the team if you get SWEPT in the season by teams such as Chicago and New York lol. Chris Paul is the best PG in the league, but besides West he has absolutely nothing helping him put.
West isn't even that good, he's just scoring those points because someone has to.
Scola, Dirk, Amare, Boozer, Millsap, Duncan, Aldridge, Gasol... yeahhh, he's probably the 9th best PF... in the WEST.
edit: forgot Gasol
I'd take West over Boozer and Scola.
David West would be so much better if he got rid of his at ude problem and learned his role on the team. Then again when you have around you besides Paul you have to try more than what you are capable of.
Just make CP3 a scorer and they are an average team....guard everyone else....and let CP3 do his thing.

I'm glad baseball season has already started. Without a healthy Chandler, this team is getting swept. I'm not joking. Even if he was healthy, we don't have enough scorers to win a series. We need to find a SG this offseason.
True, you guys are missing the 4-6 dunks on CP3 lobs every game, and that is a lot of points to have to make up.
Not to mention the shot blocking on D...
If you are searching for a shooting guard, I hope it is not Von Wafer, though I tremble at the thought of him with CP3.....

Wafer would be an upgrade over Butler. I thought JR Smith and Kirk Snyder would have been long-term solutions. I was a fan of Snyder. Athletic, could shoot, defend, etc.
New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Utah and Portland are all wishy-washy. Despite their struggles, the Spurs are still a part of the tops in the West.
Mama there goes that man again
Dude Aldridge is not better. You know better than that.
Your world is about to come crashing down in a matter of weeks...
lmfao you got pinked hahahhaa
All homerism aside.. I would take aldridge over west anyday. If I wanted a black hole with a bad at ude on my team than I guess I would take west..
They've had injuries, to be fairTime to face reality...this team probably won't even get 50 wins after being hyped up as a contender in the Finals
Sounds familiar, don't it?
Sounds familiar, don't it?
you mean like the lakers, spurs, suns, mavs, jazz, celtics, magic.... etc it happened to everyone
Your crazy.
There is hope maybe the hornets will get the spurs in the first round
auto
Rockets with a season ending 21m injury? Can anyone even compare? Beside, our backup PF got SHOT!
Hornets to take part in loan program
The Hornets have decided to take advantage of an NBA loan program despite having by far their best season at the ticket office since moving to New Orleans in 2002.
'We accepted the loan that the NBA made available to all its teams to keep our options open in case these funds are needed in the future,' Hornets president Hugh Weber said in a statement sent by e-mail Thursday to The Associated Press.
The Hornets have sold out 22 games this season, smashing the previous high of 13 sellouts last season, the Hornets' first in New Orleans full-time since hurricane Katrina. Average attendance this season is 16,977, and the official sellout figure for the New Orleans Arena for Hornets games is 17,188.
Led by the all-star tandem of Chris Paul and David West, the Hornets also have made the playoffs for a second-straight season, which will further enhance the club's bottom line.
`We are experiencing unprecedented success in ticket sales and sponsorships and by no means was this loan acquired to subsidize our daily operating expenses,' Weber said.
With the recession hitting North America hard and credit markets freezing up during this season, the NBA lined up a $200-million line of credit with several major financial ins utions. Between $13 million and $20 million was made available to teams expressing interest in the funds.
