I like what im seeing so far from the hornets its going to be tight for a while but in the fourth its our game to loss. Love it how every time paul drives people are **** their pants about the lob to Chandler.

Go Hornets

Nice first half. They need to run some plays for Peja.

Paul's 6th turnover just came by David West getting the pass by Paul hit from behind. Hornets down 4 now. :noway:

What is Scott waiting for to take CP off the bench?

That d*mn ball was off of Scola just now! Wow.

Edit... ok, I thought they were giving Houston the ball on that.

Was that Chris Paul taking over in the 4th like he always does against Houston?

15-5 on the road!

I'm sure glad he did because if he hadn't, they certainly would've lost. Peja and Mo shooting like drunks today. :lol:

That 3 point play Rasual had to just about clinch the game could be huge for his confidence, I'm suspecting something happened to Peja. Maybe the groin again.

I hope he's ok. Scott may have benched him like he does Mo when their games aren't going right.

Great win Hornets, i dont think anyhting happened to Peja he just couldnt get going today and im glad Butler got to play Scott rewarded good play. Paul just excellent at the end and West was a beast, every teams commentators seem to cream their pants every time they watch him play. Nice feeling for the players that they got the job done early now can sleep and just relax, credit to the rockets for sticking around.
