^^ the milestone tonight was our opponents 66 was a season low for our defense. previous season low was 71 vs. Memphis on 10/29! it was not a franchise low for hornets, but it was also a season low for them FYI- Rockets franchise low for an opponent is 62 vs. Charlotte, 12/08/06 this is info going back to the 1986-87 season http://www.basketball-reference.com...omp=gt&c4val=&order_by=opp_pts&order_by_asc=Y
Great D since the 2nd quarter. Under Lowry's D, CP3 couldnot rescue his team. But I don't think NO had tried their best. If we meet NO in the 1sr round, we will beat them by 4-1 or 4-2
I attended the game last night. A lot of fun to watch our buys jack-slapping the Hornets. I'm sure we would have won regardless, but the Hornets seemed to pack it in at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. This surprised me. The Hornets do have some reasons to win before the postseason starts. Their body language was obvious, even from the nosebleed seats, pure, "OK, they're putting a hurting on us, I'm tired, hell with it." Just doesn't seem a "hell with it" time of the year, you know?
I said it in chat, when we made our run in the 2nd quarter that they looked like they were ready to quit. Glad they did. DD
From my seats I actually heard some of the things the Hornets were saying and saw there body language as well. CP3 was really frustrated...especially i believe it was at the end of the 3rd Lowry tried to foul him in the last seconds because they had a foul to give, but the ref did not call it. CP3 ran up to the ref and started cussing at him. RA was telling CP3 that he the foul was intentional and should have been called. Posey and Marks (until he blew a dunk) were the only Hornets playing like they wanted it.
The Hornets can be such a petulant team. They were ready to take their ball and go home. Easy to feel good about that potential matchup after a yawner beatdown at home.
hornets look like a demoralized team......that botched trade of chandler has probably signaled to the players that ownership aint really committed to winning..
The Hornets have been running on fumes lately. Tough schedule and injuries. They pulled out 2 close wins vs Kings & Heat lately. OW, they would have been stuck at 8th spot already. But I won't underestimate them. A few days rest and with Chandler back, they will look different when the playoffs starts.
because i searched online and i only found 66 being the low, tied like three times....anyone know for sure?
GOOD WIN 1 MORE FOR DIVISION CROWN!! RA FOR COACH OF THE YEAR WINS DIVISION W/ SO MANY INJURIES IN THE TOUGHEST DIVISION OF ALL NBA!!
