Expecting more of a test tonight. Here's hoping Byron doesn't want to muck with the rotations too badly tonight. :lol:

Go Hornets!

Good luck guys, should be a doozy.

Tell Paul to go easy on Nash

No Chandler tonight? I didn't see him tweak his ankle last night.

Paul is out early again, with five to go in the first.

That is exactly what I just came around to ask. He went for some nice numbers in the opener, why isn't he playing tonight? However, you guys have been playing well without having him on the floor tonight.

i'm watching it online now. they just showed him in a suit on the bench and I think I heard them say something about an ankle injury. Hopefully not serious and only a precaution. He had a great first game.

He apparently tweaked his ankle at some point last night, though I never even saw him limping. They scratched him before the game just as a precaution. So nothing serious.

MoPete is having a nice game.

Peja leaves the game with a rolled ankle. Hope it's nothing serious. They've taken him back to the locker room. Five minutes left.

They're taping it and he's coming back. Phew!

They left him the locker room. With everybody else raining three's they didn't need to risk anything.

GEAUX HORNETS! The Hornets have now spoiled 2 home openers. Now they'd better not let Lebron and co. spoil their's on Saturday.

Damn James Posey and Rasual Butler being clutch haha, well Nash made 3 crucial TO's, good thing you did enough to hold for the W, and anyone saw Shaq pushing Hilton who bumped Nash that led to an and 1? Haha, such a classic.

Grats again.

Get well soon Peja/Tyson :pray:

At least they explained the new gameplan with regards to rotating the PG's.

Paul leaves early so Mike James can come in with the starters(minimizing his damage apparently), and Paul leads the second unit so we don't lose rhythm.

Expect to see Paul's points go up, and his assists as he looks to assert himself a bit more in that unit.
