    Why? What happened?

    Also, unlike the Mavs last night, the Hornets will still have their MVP... and they are still very dangerous on the road. Can't take them lightly just cuz West is out.

    Maybe the bball gods have decided it is only fair game for them to take away a top player from each opponent for the rest of the season.

    Another game where we may win, but "NO was without West"......still haven't beaten an Elite team at full force without Yao. But who cares...better chance of gettting 18

    Wow, that's some craziness. I'd prefer to play these teams full strength because it's a better measure of what we'll be facing in the playoffs... but I'm not going to cry over it.

    I dont believe in karma so I can care less. Things just happen for a reason, not because of dumb karma.

    David West was out last game they played with the same injury. Bonzi Wells is also out with a sore achilles. Thus, no low post presence for the Hornets. Rockets should win this game if they contain Chris Paul and not allow their shooters to get a lot of wide open looks. I fully expect Mutombo to neutralize Chandler.

    I will believe in karma when Kobe Bryant is out when we play them because of some silly foul or incident.
