Geez Orlando

Really? Losing to the nets? Pretty sad, especially with how their defense shut down the Magic's offense.

congrats hornets good job breaking the streak

Dwight Howard with a chance to win on free throws bricked them both.

He's so overrated. All he did was travel and charge through Okafor with elbows all night long, yet the refs let him get away with it. He even cut CP3 and Okafor with elbows on the same play.

I never realized how much of a 3-point chucking team Orlando was until seeing them in person tonight. LOL 31 three point attempts.

Good win for the Hornets. Belinelli getting hurt opened the door for Thorton to get minutes, and went off for 22 pts and 9 rebounds.

Agreed. The refs let him get away with murder. They did everything they could tonight to let the Magic continue their streak tonight, and the Hornets still found a way to win.

They are one of those teams that live or die by the 3. When they aren't droppin', they aren't winnin'.

I just got back from the game.

The Hornets did their little last minute choking, but they somehow came away with a win.

Special lol's go out to Dwight for having two chances to tie the game and still ing up, and JJ Re for that forced shot and airball.

I dont care what yall say about his defense yallneed Thorton's scoring if Paul is not going to score ...

[BRHornet45]

Thornton is the reason the Hornets won ... and yes he needs serious playing time off the bench on a nightly basis.

Anyone can see that.
their defense is good with Bellinelli, but they struggle to score late ...what about the rookie they got can he play some defense and score havent seen much of him?

[DeadlyDynasty]

The Hornets put on a typical choke job and missed two free throws. The Magic, on the other hand, hit 3 3-pointers--2 from Richardson and one Hidayet Turkoglu.

Magic just coming back down to earth that's all....

Marcus Thornton:
I told my s that we will see better days yesterday,today is a better day celebrate

You mean Pondexter? He's Ariza's primary backup. He seems to be productive in his minutes.

The big problem with Thornton is having Willie Green on the team. He and Monty Williams go way back so he's getting minutes regardless. He loves to jack it up as much as anyone on the team so when Thornton is playing next to him, he doesn't get many looks. The bench would be better served having Thornton alongside with Jack and Pondexter. Green or Belinelli need to start.
