    I wish we could put Landry's heart in PPat's body

    At the end of day... give him one more year... If he does not pan out, try to get Landry back..... Hornets are going nowhere.

    Yeah, Patterson has been very soft this year and less athletic. I don't know what's wrong with him but he's been a liability of late.

    Knee jerk. I think he's solid. He was just rushing shots today out of nerves it seems

    He seems to be a smart player and all, but his production per minute seems quite low.

    He's always rushing his shots. That's just how he plays, and its annoying to watch.

    Patrick is playing too soft and is playing below the rim. He has his moments but has been really up & down all year.

    The only problem I really have with Patterson is that he is not a natural low post player. It looks like he has been working on that part of his game and they are starting to run some plays for him, but it's not something he's comfortable with or is good at yet. Some players are just natural back to the basket players and some are not. If PP keeps working at it, maybe it will come, but he better hurry up because we're going to have new players on the team next year that he will be competing with. I think Patterson must be having some success in the low post in practice or they probably wouldn't be running plays for him, so maybe he will come around.

    I don't know if it was his injury at the beginning of the year but he was not this passive last year. He was always going up for a dunk and had crazy quick hops last year. I'll give him a pass this year but if this keeps up next year, then we have a problem.

    I think Marcus Morris would play better next to Camby then he would have playing next to Hill

    Patrick hasn't made it back from his injury. You can see it in his lack of confidence inside, rushing those shots up....instead of going up strong. Give Patsquatch the offseason and he'll look a lot better.....

    *Look at Scola and how long it took for him to get back in the saddle afterwards.

    This compacted season has really taken it's toll.
