NEW ORLEANS HORNETS!!! 53-22! :D

Give it time....they will settle in somewhere between 5-8 in the West.

No way....this team has "championship season" written all over it. And I have never said that about the Hornets before. In tonights blowout the starters didn't even play the 4th quarter.

[jenningstime]

Ehhhhh, we will see.

haha, easy there "championship season"?? ...they could easily be the sixth seed by wednesday...I actually hope they do well because Paul is sick and I like Chandler as well, but in the west I don't see them being contenders - at least this year. They are the third best team in their division. By the way, they played the Bobcats tonight - nothing to brag about really;).

[Kramer26]

People thought that about the Saints 2 years ago before they marched all the way to the NFC championship game. I'm saying it right now....the Hornets will be playing in the NBA Finals.

[jenningstime]

Heck, like 6 or 7 of their W's come from Minnesota, Memphia, Seattle, or the Clips. They are out of games with those cupcakes. They are average at best versus top teams. I was at the game when the Jazz drilled them 99-70 or something.

Basketball works much differently than football. You actually think the Hornets could win a 7 game series against the Spurs?? It seems in basketball you have to build to it year by year. It took the Bulls years to get past the Pistons...it took the newer Pistons years to get by the Nets...it usually comes down to experience in a series. But really, I'm on your side and I hope they make it...I just can't see it happening. Now if they were in the East...

[jenningstime]

I hope they make a playoff run too. I much prefer them to San Antonio, Phoenix, and Dallas. I don't care much for LA either. I like to see New Orleans rising, Portland coming back, and hopefully Utah getting things going again. Outside of Boston and Detroit, no team in the Eastern Conference would even sniff the playoffs if they played out west.

Yes, I think they can. The Hornets are off to their best start in franchise history. It's going to be a special year. :)

[JayDouble]

Hornets will fade down the stretch but still make the playoffs. The lack of a bench is going to kill them.

Their bench has really come on the last 5 games. They will be just fine.

[RyanDub]

They won't even win they're division. They will finish 2nd or 3rd. Obviuosly i'm a Mavericks fan. But, in my honest opinion they are not better than the Spurs of the Mavs. But that is just my opinion.

[kusteveh]

Anybody going to the games yet? Good exciting team to watch and no one is showing up. Can you say Kansas City Hornets?

[NotoriousVesaToskala]

If a team has the best record in the Western conference and no one is there to witness it, is it really the best team in the West?

[Creation88]

this is quite possibly the stupidest thing i've ever read on this board.

The hornets aren't going to make the NBA Finals, but I would rather see them in the Finals from the West over the spurs.

Go easy on him, Creation.

someone struck a soft spot. :D

enjoy your West leading hornets now. they won't last long.

[Creation88]

by my count the Suns have 1 more win. 28-12.

[JayDouble]

The Suns are technically the best in west with a record of 28-12.

[905]

:rolleyes:go easy on him or he'll bring up Katrina again.

[koreapeekay]

I just love the way CP3's been playing lately and David West has stepped up big time! They'll make the playoffs easily!

GOOOOOOOOO CP3!!!

[Kramer26]

down goes Portland :)

6 straight wins for the Hornets

Chris Paul has 43 consecutive games with at least one steal. :)


NEW ORLEANS HORNETS 29-12

LMAOOOO the Hornets aint going nowhere. The Spurs are still the best team in the West(and in the NBA), it doesn't matter what their record is.

[Tanner2126]

Im in total shock right now. Its great to be the only Hornet fan around in where im from.

[Creation88]

congrats on a great game. i didn't get to see it but from the looks of the box score the hornets were on and the spurs just were not. 2-20 from beyond the arc won't cut it for us.

now for the rodeo road trip. record wise the Hornets are the best team in the West right now, but how you finish is much more important.

[Disconnekted]

Nice ass kicking on the Spurs tonight.The Hornets are the real deal.


The playoffs are going to be insane this year if Portland and New Orleans both make it in.

[GOSKINS_08]

The hornets really took it to the spurs last night, and im surprised they did, but the hornets still wont win the West..But they should be a tough team to play in the Playoffs.

[porculator]

Thats a man (or two) on a mission right there.

[kusteveh]

The Nuggets were absolutely embarrassed tonight. Not to take anything away from the Hornets, obviously they are playing great and CP3 is arguably the best PG in the game now, but the Nuggets looked like they had no interest in playing the game, completely outworked, outhustled, they looked pathetic!

[NotoriousVesaToskala]

This team is going to look damn good in OKC in a few years.

[jenningstime]

Hornets got straight balled on tonight in Utah. Deron Williams just schools Chris Paul every time they play. In the end the Hornets will settle in somewhere between the 6 and 8 seed in the West.

[jenningstime]

110 - 88 final.

Paul 6 - 4 - 6
Williams 29 - 3 - 11

[jenningstime]

Hornets have another big test tomorrow in Phoenix. At least they get to regroup versus Memphis at home this weekend.

[Chewdeezy]

Don't forget my Warriors making it to the playoffs either.

It's going to be a dog fight fighting for the 7th and 8th spots.

[grandpoobah]

The Spurs always pick up the pace come play-offs. They're good in the regular season - but invincible during play-offs. For sure the Hornets will make the Play-offs, but even the top seeded teams crumble in the play-offs. Classic example is Dallas, ousted by the Warriors in Play-offs round 1.

BTW... I hate the Spurs. Any team in the NBA has my blessing for 2007-08 NBA Championships... except the Spurs. It would be sweet if Lakers win it though.

[Stone Cold]

still feel that way? :p

Yes I do. Spurs #1. :p

[Griftor]

Judging by your taste in pictures, I'm surprised the boring old Spurs are your favorite. I'd have thought they weren't creepy enough. ;)

Preaching to the choir. I've been a Spurs fan from way back. David Robinson is my all-time favorite basketball player. Been a fan of the Spurs AND Hornets since junior high. (The 'Zo and Grandmomma days)

It just worked out that one of my two favorite teams became my hometown team a few years ago.

You guys still feel the same way???

[Griftor]

That CP3 pic reminds me of The Cable Guy, when Jim Carrey climbs Jack Black's back for a dunk. :D

The win tonight was huge for the Hornets, who have been neck and neck for #1 in the West all year. The first half of the season, it was Hornets and Suns. Now it's Hornets and Lakers. It's amazing they've been in the upper echelon all year the way they have.

Let's grab that first seed!

[Third]

I've said for awhile, Chris Paul is the NBA MVP. 15 pts, 20 assists, 3 boards, 2 steals and a block from your point guard! Oh, and only one turnover.

[jenningstime]

You guys still feel the same way???

I do, I would be absolutely thrilled if the Jazz somehow faced the Hornets in Round 1.

[Griftor]

You'd be thrilled if the Jazz slipped all the way to 8th? That's dangerous territory in the West.

[cniles]

Im always one to dog the Hornets and say they are way Overrated but will eat crow and say they are one scary looking team.Paul would run away with the MVP any other year but Kobe;),KG, and Lebron all could win it this year.Im a Die Hard Lakers fan and feel their best competition is going to come from the Hornets in the Confrence Finals:D.Congrats to Hornets fans and this years playoffs may be this best Ive ever seen.

[jenningstime]

You'd be thrilled if the Jazz slipped all the way to 8th? That's dangerous territory in the West.

If it meant facing New Orleans first, then yes. I truly believe the Jazz can beat them in a 7 game series whereas the Spurs, Lakers, etc worry me.

[porculator]

How do you justify calling your team the Jazz in a city where you don't allow music?

[Griftor]

Well I'll give you this...

There are definitely worse potential matchups for the NBA than 7 games of Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul. Talk about two young superstars putting on a clinic!

[BurningSoul]

A little bit different story vs. the C's tonight.....:) Boston 112 NO 92

Chris Paul and Deron Williams may be the young PG's who get all the dap right now but Rajon Rondo isnt too far behind.

[lancer20]

I like Rondo, but he is way behind those two...you can't be serious.

[ToightLikeATiger]

I like Rondo, but he is way behind those two...you can't be serious.

His skill set isnt that far off at all. He just doesnt try to take over a game like the other 2 do because he has the Big 3 on his side. But he makes the most of his opportunities. He is a very good defender already and continues to get better. He is so fast it is difficult to defend him. He has improved his shot a great deal. He is also a scrappy player who is 110% energy. He isnt afraid to get in the middle with big guys and rebound.

Rondo is in his 1st season as a starting PG. By next year he will be impossible to overlook. You can bank on that :)

[favrefan#4]

I agree rondo is one tough dude. Been watching him since he was at Kentucky. He can cut on a dime and rebound better than most point guards. He will be a top 5 Pg in the next 2-3 years. But I posted here to say congratulations to the hornets they have made it a long way and definately have a great looking future with the team they have built and can continue to build on.

[Kramer26]

Rondo is the most under-rated player in the league.

[Disconnekted]

Spurs are sneaking back into the race

[NotoriousVesaToskala]

Very relevant post, thanks for that homer.

[koreapeekay]

Spurs are sneaking back into the race

Awesome.

[ToightLikeATiger]

I dont think its a shock the Spurs are a top team in the West. Only ignorant people forgot about them in the West. When playoff time comes along the Spurs are going to be the favorites. They wont be heavy favorites but they are the defending champs. They have to be beaten before someone else can claim favorite in it all.

I do think though the Lakers with Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Bynum (if all are healthy) are the most talented team in the West. They will be a tough tough out if they can all be on the court.

I like what the Hornets have done this year but the playoffs are a different animal. They may get past the 1st round depending on matchup but they dont have the playoff experience to be legit contenders. I wouldnt be suprised if they made it to the conference finals I just wouldnt bet on it.

Rockets are done and wont make it past round 1. Suns and Mavs are no longer scary to play. Suns killed their team trading for Shaq. Dallas is hurting without Dirk and they traded their depth away.

Spurs, Lakers and Hornets are the top 3 teams. Golden State is a team that could upset someone in round 1 if they jack up and make enough shots over a 7 games series. They arent a legit threat though.

Utah is being overlooked right now. They made it to the conference finals last year. Deron Williams is even better this year. Boozer is still a top PF. They have the experience this year. They will be a tough out.

I think the playoffs in the West will be the most exciting we have seen in a long time.

Eastern conference on the other hand really is a 2 team race. I just dont see anyone beating the Celtics or Pistons in a 7 game series in the East. If those 2 teams meet in the Eastern Conference Finals it will be great though.

I am hoping for Celtics vs Pistons in the East and Spurs vs Lakers in the West. The old school basketball fan in me is hoping for a Celtics vs Lakers finals. Of course I would want the Celtics to win it all :)

I actually agree with everything you said. My thoughts about the playoffs exactly. Spurs, Lakers in the west with the Jazz and Hornets the only other options - but not like it would be an enormous surprise to me to see these 2 in the conference finals. As for the east, I find it hard to believe that other people think it's a 3 or 4 team race...now about that Rondo comment - maybe I gotta check this guy out a little more. I just see Paul and Deron as special type players and to compare Rondo to them surprised me.

[ToightLikeATiger]

I just see Paul and Deron as special type players and to compare Rondo to them surprised me.

When the Celtics and Pistons meet in the Eastern Conference finals youll see plenty of him :)

Rondo is going to be a special player. He isnt the level of Paul or Deron right now but he isnt far off. Those 2 guys are the top options on their teams. Rondo has the Big 3 around him so he doesnt try to take over games like the other 2 do.

That being said Rondo can get any shot he wants. He can go by any defender thats how fast he is. His shooting continues to improve. He isnt as good a shooter as Paul or Williams but Rondo MAY be a better driver then those 2.

Once again keep in mind this is Rondo's 1st season as a starting PG. The other 2 guys have started since they came into the league. Rondo will continue to get better. Having the big 3 around him will hold him back some scoring wise but he does everything else you need a PG to do. He does them all above average as well.

If you were a Celtics fan and watch him every game you would just love the guy. He gives 100% every game and is really a nuisance to opposing teams.

Come playoff time when more games are nationally televised fans around the world will realize Rondo is the next big time PG in the NBA.

[jenningstime]

In regards to this Rondo being on the same level as Chris Paul and Deron Williams...I think the only area Rondo even comes close to them is on the defensive end. He is not as the same level in terms of shooting/scoring ability nor does he have the ability to take over games like they do. Granted I don't watch the Celtics night in and night out but I don't think the Hornets would be close to the same team with Rondo instead of Paul nor do I think he could run the Jazz offense the way D-Will does.

[Kramer26]

52-22

It sure is interesting to go back and read some of the comments in this thread.

[GOSKINS_08]

The hornets are a fun team to watch, but I still say the lakers are the best team in the West.

[Disconnekted]

Spurs vs. Hornets.

May the best team win.

[imaginegrafix]

Spurs are the most pathetic team ever.

I had to turn the game off last night with 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter - 4 suns possesions, hack shaq, hack shaq, hack skinner and hack skinner.

How could any spurs fan be proud of that crap that they try to pass as basketball?

Simple.We can be proud because they have won four titles without ever having to employ that tactic before.

Suddenly the Suns make a trade for Shaq to "counter the Spurs" and Coach Pop decides to take a page from Don Nelson's playbook and exploit Shaq's weakness.

I'm sure the Spurs winning had nothing to do with Tony Parker turning Steve Nash and the Suns bigs into turnstiles the entire series.

To say nothing of the big time heroics the Spurs pulled off in Game 1 to set the tone for the series.


Pathetic team? Please. You'd be proud of them too if they were the team you supported day in and day out.

[imaginegrafix]

I don't know if I could support a team that employs that type of crap - and we've covered the other crap they do (bowen/ginobli - so yes, they have done questionable crap in the past).

I'm dead serious when I say I really don't know if I could cheer for a team like that - I don't think I could - even if it led to titles.

[Disconnekted]

Thats just it though.This is the first time the Spurs ever used a tactic like Hack a Shaq to win a series,and its something that the man has been going through for years now.

[imaginegrafix]

I didn't want to go there since it's been discussed so many times - but you think Bowen's cheap tactics and Manu's flopping haven't contributed to a win before?

Give me a break man - they play cheap, boring basketball. End of discussion - if you want to counter and say "but they have 4 rings" - great, they've succeeded at playing cheap, boring basketball then.

Don't make this thread about you, big head.

Best team is the Hornets. I dont see the Spurs winning more then 1 game.

[NotoriousVesaToskala]

How about those Hornets? What an incredible second half they played against the Spurs tonight, huh?

Basketball works much differently than football. You actually think the Hornets could win a 7 game series against the Spurs?? It seems in basketball you have to build to it year by year. It took the Bulls years to get past the Pistons...it took the newer Pistons years to get by the Nets...it usually comes down to experience in a series. But really, I'm on your side and I hope they make it...I just can't see it happening. Now if they were in the East...

Yes, I think they can. The Hornets are off to their best start in franchise history. It's going to be a special year. :)

Something I found on the first page...;)
