No one behind him? He's got Camby. With he and Wallace, you can find some rest for Aldridge. It's important to be well rested for the playoffs. We can still win these games though.

Camby is playing less minutes because of health issues. Unless Wallace gets 48 minutes a night, I don't see how you can find any significant amount of rest for Aldridge and not sacrifice on court production. Teams like San Antonio and Los Angeles have the luxury of resting their players, we (who are still fighting for a spot) don't. When was the last time you saw a 6-8 seed make a conscious effort to rest their star players late in the season?

Winning more games is pointless at this point if we just tire out our best shot of advancing to the second round (which is LMA). If your fine getting to the playoffs and not having a chance thats great, i'm not down with getting into the playoffs knowing we have no chance of advancing. Would rather get a lottery pick then that.

Winning more games is pointless?? If we don't win more games, we won't make the playoffs. Can't take the playoffs for granted right now. Have to earn it.

I'd like to think that Nate would want to win two more playoff games than last year, as opposed to 2 more regular season games this season.

Will you again be one of those pounding on Nate if they get a first-round loss, yet he continues to play LMA heavy minutes in the regular season to get the 6th seed?

We can rest Aldridge AND win these games. Wallace and Camby give Aldridge some leeway.
 
For some reason I got a good feeling with Roy checking in.
 
Also, why is no one talking about the 5th seed? We're only 1.5 games behind Denver.

I said it was pointless if by doing it we lose any chance of making it to round 2.
 
Man Patty is the equivalent to downing 5 energy drinks off the bat for what he is giving us at the moment.
 
of course the moment I post about how great Patty is he loses the ball and then gives the hornets a huge and 1 opportunity.

Only at the end of quarters.

Seriously, it must be something supernatural for someone to be this allergic to end of quarters.
 
Well at least we are [video=youtube;9QS0q3mGPGg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QS0q3mGPGg[/video] going into the 4th.

Patty's positives have wayyyy outweighed his negatives. We wouldn't be in this game at all without his shooting.
 
This game is going down to the wire. No easy win here.
 
Hornets went through a seven minute field goal drought in the third and are only down two.
 
Roy looked pretty spry on that drive there. Nice to see
 
Gotta box out on the defensivel glass. That cost us 2 there. Ugh
 
Roy is a triple threat out there... Can't shoot, can't defend, can't rebound. Did I mention he's a threat to us?
 
Hornets take the lead. Oh boy
 
Dre takes the lead right back! Nicely done
