Hornets Game Thread?

[Blazinaway]

hope LMA's ankle is not too bad

This team manages to have several players have amazing games (Batum, JJ, Lillard (for the last shot, if not much else) and, as usual, Aldridge) but only beat NO at home by 1. Anderson and Vasquez were killing us!

Only Hickson had an amazing game. Blazer fans never give him his due. Batum had a very good game. Aldridge and Lillard were subpar.

Is it a sign that LA wasn't on the court when Lillard went into legend mode?

Pat Garrety? Pat Laferty? Never having been to the NBA finals in your franchises existence?

5X5 has been done what... 8 times in history? That is an amazing game for Batum. I agree on the others though.

nope

better check with Nick, he thinks he's the "legend expert"

 

[magnifier661]

the dilemma with JJ is whether we try to trade him knowing that he's likely to get paid pretty well ( more then we want to pay) this summer

What are we willing to give for a double double machine? I would pay.

It's the 14th time since 85 since it was done. By less than 14 players though.

If they had kept track of steals and blocked shots in the old days, the # of the occurrences would've probably been higher.

Even 14 times since 85 is less than 1 every other year. Pretty rare.

Tinsley was only 2 weeks into his rookie season when he beat Batum's game tonight. In 2 overtimes, he played 51 minutes and his team lost.

Tinsley being crap overall does not take away from his great night that he had. This isn't about Tinsley vs Batum. Any 5X5 is damn impressive. Someone that does one of these 5X5's is rare. They aren't just common occurrences.

Which is why I noted it in the database link, and in the difference in minutes, 51 vs 42.

About to read the game thread......... I know Dame's shot was amazing......... but JJ's game was off the charts! And Nic's dunk on the #1 pick was NASTY!

 

[KingSpeed]

yep, what's he not doin as a rook that Roy did?

Did Roy hit a game winner in his rookie year? I don't remember him doing that. Maybe the game against Seattle?

 

[KingSpeed]

By the way, Olajuwon was amazing. Wow.

Recorded the midnight 90 minute SportsCenter......... they didn't show highlights of our game! Showed the Rocket/Raptor and Laker/Philly game though. Pretty sad!

I'm waiting for Rice to yell "I love it" about 5 min. too early for their McD's promo.

I literally have to yell in his ear to make sure he remembers to say that!

It's like Batum is dunking on himself. It's crazy how physically similar they are. But AD has a freakishly small head that reminds me of Howard Stern's Beetlejuice.
