From the Hornets Press Release

HORNETS TO BATTLE JAZZ AT HOME ON ESPN
Feb. 29 Tipoff Remains at 7:00 p.m.

February 12, 2008
NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they will make their second appearance of the season on ESPN when they host Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz in the New Orleans Arena on Friday, February 29 (the Washington at Chicago game will no longer be televised). Tipoff for the game will remain at 7:00 p.m.

You know, give 'em long enough and they eventually figure it out...

^Very nice. CP3 will be pumped. He'll know that he can get revenge on Deron by doing exactly as Deron did to him but on national TV. I hope Deron brings his "A" game....he's gunna need it.

Paul is going to successfully post up Williams? Find his teammates and not get into foul trouble? All while slamming down a big dunk on AK? I look forward to this.

I am excited to watch the hornets, but I am sad it has to be against the Jazz cause they will be losing. But I would love to see some of those Hornets Suns games.

What stupid post. Obviously I meant that Paul is looking to dominate the game in his OWN way, as Deron did before.

all i can say is good luck to chris paul because he will need it against dwill!

dont forget deron is 7-1 against chris paul

Should be a good one. Glad to see both of these teams get some love (they both deserve it.) Hopefully the Jazz can pull it out. In other news, thanks to 2Poor for alerting us. Heh, gotta give props to a fellow Cubs guy.

What a stupid response, Your the one that said exactly. If you didn't mean you shouldn't say it, and your basically implying that Chris can turn it on when he wants. That he will rise above and outplay Deron?

This is going to be one hell of a game. Mark my words.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads-up, 2poor!

Chris Paul has earned my respect. He's capable of a brilliant performance any game just like Deron is. If you are too homeristic to enjoy that this is a rivalry and that Deron vs. Chris is a fun matchup, then too bad.

Dont read into things so literally, lest you make yourself look foolish...

I feel bad for Chris Paul....

All Im saying is Deron has owned Paul in the past and I dont see a reason why it will change.

Why didn't you just say that originally?

I'm so pumped for this game. It'll be huge for Deron if he has another dominant performance over Paul. I'm really glad the league took Washington vs. Chicago off the TV schedule, who wants to watch them?

Hopefully people will actually show up to watch the game.

Last home game was a sellout...against the Grizzlies.

Something tells me they'll have no problem filling up the place.

2poor, are you a closet Jazz fan? (even if it is your third favorite team). Cause you sure like to post here. No problem with it, just wondering.

2poor = platonic lover of the Utah Jazz.

I think that Hornets are a very likeable team in the stance of the Jazz... D-Will and CP3 are close friends, their rivalry is healthy (no sheed vs artest or Allen vs Bryant) and both of the teams are young and fun to watch. Plus, Utah must remember that New Orleans was the motherland.
