NOLA.com wrote:Bonzi Wells and Mike James are expected to make their debuts tonight when the Hornets play defending champion San Antonio at the AT&T Center.

Wells and James watched Friday night's game against the Houston Rockets from the Hornets' bench. All of the players involved in the three-team deal that was finalized before Thursday's trade deadline had not completed their physicals and some paperwork had not been cleared by the league.

"Hopefully, (tonight) we'll have both of them," Hornets Coach Byron Scott said. "I gave them a playbook, so they can get a pretty good idea on what we do. I gave them a list of things that we will run for them, so they can start looking at that on the video as well."

Wells, James expected to play tonight

to bouncing back from a bad loss :beer:

i hope wells plays...not so much with james.

i also hope that we don't get anymore technicals, but we also can't back down if and when the spurs get physical.

chris paul needs to forget about bruce bowen, don't slap him if he gets physical and just play the game in his best way.

if we lose, oh well, just try not to lose by 20 points. last time the spurs had an embarrassing 24 loss to us, i can see that they want some revenge, ya?

its on NBA TV....i'll be watching this one for sure!

As a Spurs fan I'm really hoping Parker is ready for some solid minutes tonight. We don't have a chance at matching CP3 if he doesn't.

I also really hope Bonzi Wells doesn't get extended minutes. No one on the Spurs has ever been able to contain him.

Mike james looks so happy. He actually will get minutes now .Bonzi, not so much. How is bonzi doing? He'll be good for you guys. I miss him.

Awesome game guys! Great comeback by you guys in the 4th. Manu just proved too much in the end. Hope to see you in the playoffs!

rockets and spurs did a secret trade under table. rockets will pick up brent barry from spurs, in return, rockets told wells to go 1-7 to give spurs a win. Done deal! Wells will bounce back next game, going 20-10
