who the hell was that guy wearing #0 during the 1st half? that was probably the best half biz has ever played. probably helped that the magic interior defense was swiss cheese.
as awful as gordon looked all night (same as he has looked since december) i'll give him credit for two good passes in the last few minutes.
another night where the +/- between mullens and biz are staggering. mully -17, biz +23. its a trend. when will mullens realize that when he is in a slump he needs to do something other than trying to shoot contested jumpers? hit the glass, play some defense, get to the ft line. how can he be so blind?
kemba's best statistical night ever - again helped by that swiss cheese defense.
who would have thought hendo would get up to play the magic? dude really wants that money. he must have his eye on a nice big house on the golf course.
too bad our front office cant really take credit for drafting tobias harris.

Also, we're only a half game "ahead of" Orlando now in the ping pong race...
Second worst record is where it's at. I think if we get to 20 wins we have it locked up.
Edit: Just looked it up, Pelicans were in a tie with Cleveland for third worst record last year and the year before Cleveland had the second worst record behind Minnesota, I still like our odds with the second worst record better than the worst.

Cleveland actually won it with the Clippers pick which was the #8 pick before lottery...
What is that? A 3 percent chance?

Re: GT: vs Orlando Wed Mar 27 7PM
Based on recent drafts, I'd say Orlando gets the top pick.
Cavs lose LeBron, get Kyrie
Hornets lose CP3, get The Brow
Magic lose Dwight, get...........Smart?

Magic totally pick Noel if he's there. Him and Vucevic fit too well.
investigate Adam Silver

Re: GT: vs Orlando Wed Mar 27 7PM
Far out when you put it like that...
Kyrie, Davis and... ?
Remember old hometown boy D-Rose going to the bulls who I think had the eighth or ninth odds?
Far out, I think we get the first this year just because that's how being the Bobcats works...then again if we get the first people could say it is because we are going to be the Charlotte Hornets again etc.
(No conspiracy theorist)
Some people misunderstand the lottery odds in a way that really skews things in terms of tanking.
When you have the #1 odds you actually only have a 5 percent higher chance at the first pick and a 75 percent chance of getting pick 2, 3 or 4.
As last year as the number one odds on favourite with the highest chance as soon as New Orleans got first our odds then increased to get second seemingly as if second pick was our destiny, if we missed on the #2 then we would have had something like a 90 percent chance at third and obviously if missed then we have a hundred percent chance at 4.
How much worse than the Hornets were we last season? a(nd we had a 1 in 4 chance at first and they had 1 in 5...)
Is that worth it is Cho's decision to make, We could have traded the #2 for Harden and we would probably have just as much chance of getting the first this season with the #5 odds.

Re: GT: vs Orlando Wed Mar 27 7PM
We lost both Chris Paul and Derrick Rose to coin flips.
Lost the #4 pick (Paul) with the Hornets, won the #8 pick (J-Rich?) with the Bulls (remember when we were excited) and then the #9 Bulls slot won the lottery.
We definitely have the worst lottery luck besides maybe the Raptors since entering the league.

Re: GT: vs Orlando Wed Mar 27 7PM
Great win by the Cats. Really fun game to watch. Hendo and Kemba with big nights. Biz really looked good. So did MKG when he was out there.
Tobias Harris is a beast. That guy is big and strong and very skilled. Wow. I was very impressed with him. He is just about as big as Biz. No way he weighs 226, more like 240 ay least.
