Damn you are still keeping that 82 nights of destruction theme I came up with on the schedule wallpaper. I see I was right on the spot with that statement watching what the Hornets are doing this season. keep it up ;-)

Hornets need this win! A couple of challenges coming up after this one. Let's go Hornets!!!

I wonder what West's status will be for this game.

i love it. it goes great with this team

i thought about making a sign and taping it to the back wall of the arena

maybe i'll just invest in chris paul heads for every assist or "3's" every time peja hits one

it's a shame every NBA arena is like every other one

i'd love for new orleans to get closer to http://youtube.com/watch?v=u0rMe2Vyb9E. we already have the empty seats. if it was like that you wouldn't hear about attendance ever again

Actually I haven't been hearing or reading much about it lately. Definitely not like in the first half of the season. You may come across something every now and then because you know there are still some hoping N.O. falls flat on its' face but I haven't been seeing or hearing much about it.

This is gonna be an extremely tough game with Devin Harris bullying Chris Paul the whole night.

Good luck there.

Chris Paul has handled Harris pretty well.

Damn, I was looking at CP3's 5 & 10 game averages and they're pretty lofty.

last 10: 23ppg, 11apg, 4rpg, 3.5spg (52% fg, 50% 3p)

last 5: 23ppg, 13apg, 4rpg, 3spg (52% fg, 67% 3p)

Not to be an ass, but there are only 8 other posts in this thread.

NOLA.com wrote:Starting forward David West is expected to miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained left ankle tonight against the New Jersey Nets. West sat out Friday's shootaround at the New Orleans Arena.

"He'd probably won't play tonight unless he tells me something different,'' Hornets Coach Byron Scott said. "He will probably not play until Wednesday.''

Ryan Bowen is likely start in place of West at power forward. Bowen started during Wednesday's 116-101 victory against the Atlanta Hawks and scored eight points in 34 minutes.

Bonzi Wells has missed the past two games with a sore Achilles' tendon, but Scott said it will be a game-time decision whether he will play tonight. Wells participated in the shootaround and moved around well. Center Chris Andersen, who was re-signed this week, also is not expected to play, Scott said.

You're right, tonight is the night of destruction. Prepare to watch Trenton Hassell play power forward tonight and destroy everything in his path.

What are you talking about? I don't see any post stating West's status.

Might want to check into some literacy classes then, 2 of my posts in this game thread detail West's status.

You guys don't have David West?

Julian Wright having another breakout game.

Copperhead · Post #19 » by **Copperhead** » Sat Mar 8, 2008 3:40 am

Was Julian on fire tonight or what? The best game of his career so far.

Post #20 » by **NO-KG-AI** » Sat Mar 8, 2008 3:57 am

Man, our team could get scary if Julian keeps playing at a high level, he's an athletic defending/rebounding wing with great passing ability, don't know where all this shooting is coming from :lol:

Great stuff from the bees.
