Around the NBA 8.0

[HornetJail]

would've loved to see that Charlotte team if Chandler committed fully.

They were a defensive beast while starting old man Ratliff

I've said it before. I wish we'd waited one more season before blowing it up. Chandler would go on to be the second best player on the 2011 Championship Mavs, Jackson and Wallace were still very good, and Boris wasn't a complete fatass yet. DJ had his best season too. Would've loved to have kept Gerald one more year and trade him to the desperate Nets like the Blazers did.

Because I've loved the Charlotte NBA team since 2003.

And he was a pussyfoot bitch while he was here.

And now he's being a pussyfoot bitch again.

I see, cool. OTOH, if DAJ never thought of leaving LAC, Chandler and the Mavs would be doing pretty good together......oh well.....

The Craig Sager news is very upsetting.

Stuart Scott just a while ago, now this......

Heat lost to the Spurs by 24. World fell off its orbit. Oh, wait. That only happens when Hornets lose. Some perspective.

Bonnell is literally the worst.

Big win for the Jazz at Houston despite their 978 turnovers. Specifically watched the game since I'm rooting for them to make it over Houston. With Parsons's injury though Dallas might be the odd team out.

My preference and wishlist of teams to make the playoffs.

West:

1. Utah (just want a team, which similarly to us, is building around their own drafted guys and culture to succeed.. although there will be a hard time for them when they will have to give up on some of their young core, trade one or two guys for a veteran, perhaps)
2. tie between Blazers and Mavericks (a young fun group and Dirk's veteran bunch which is hard to dislike when lead by Dirk)
....
...
Houston (hard to root for Dwight and Harden)

East:

1. Wizards (I like watching Wall. also - the NBA needs teams like Washington who go for it despite not being contenders, for this reason I have this weird soft spot for Coach Wittman and the criticism he receives. they're a longshot to make it though)
2. Pistons (don't really care for them more than for the Pacers, yet you just tend to root for the younger bunch. I also want them to fall in the 8th spot since I feel like they can take the series to 6 against the Cavs)
3. Pacers
4. Bulls (nothing personal but I don't have a particular liking about any of their players. the fact that they have been there numerous years is also a factor. a bit tired of watching them play)

Did not watch Jazz much... What's wrong with Trey Burke? .... I watched a couple of pre-season games of Jazz, I liked Raul Neto, dude has all the intangibles...

Brooklyn Nets holds 10 pt lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers at halftime. 59-49. That group is playing well of late (trap game is real).

Dang, Cavs lost to the Nets, cuz it's B2B I guess?

So the Raptors had a chance to get close but seems like Lowry did have an elbow injury. Dang it!

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15062204/charlotte-hornets-hottest-team-eastern-conference

It has been a LONG time since I've read an article like this. Good times, hermanos.

Whether people want to admit it or not, LeBron acting like he's above his team and openly being insubordinate while pining for playing with more of his superfriends has to have an impact on that team's chemistry and ability to play well together.

Something that stood out to me in that article was that we have had 10 different players lead us in scoring this year and an amazing 7 different lead us in assists. That second stat is a testament to this team's willingness to move the ball.

That has to be pretty annoying.

OTOH, Love' D and Irving's overall leave a lot to be desired

Great! Hawks and Heat both won!......

Big ego guy. Insists he's right even when people points out he's wrong. Insisted the 3-point shooting competition was more exciting then the dunk contest. Unfriendly, no sense of humour.

Too bad there are not many people to follow for Hornets news.

Feel bad for the OKC fans who paid big bucks to tonight's game

Nets win against the Pacers. They are hot right now. They also played well against us - we stole that one.
