    I turned that game on when they were down 21ish...then they started nailing 3s...it was fun to watch.

    3 D-leaguers.....one with 30, one with 22 and the other with 17.......

    Nice.

    I wouldn't worry about that. Hornets are dying a death big style, they're done.

    I've watched a few Warriors games recently and they are managing to stay competitive, despite having a team pretty much full of D-leaguers, amazing really and a big 2 fingers to those who say Nellie can't coach anymore. The injuries that team has had this year make the Rockets look healthy! Still, they manage to put a product on the court that keeps games close and is amazingly fun to watch.

    Fair play to them

    Warriors dressed 8 players in the win - 5 of which were undrafted (Watson, Tolliver, Morrow, Williams, Hunter).

    Crazy...

    Hornet will be over LT next season. Keep on hoping they lose their remaining games. The higher their mid to low lottery pick the more willing they will be to trade down for a lower pick, cash, and/or future assets?

    It is becoming more and more likely that they might deal Chris Paul in the offseason. They should rebuild and start new with Collison running the show for now on.

    If they do, I hope we go after him in the offseason!

    I could see the Hornets try to offload Emeka to the Kings or trade him to the Mavs for Dampier's fully non-guaranteed contract. As for Paul, I can't imagine that they'll even consider shipping him out.

    Why I don't get is why New Jersey doesn't release everyone but Devin Harris and Brook Lopez and just play a bunch of D-Leaguers instead. It can't possibly be worse.

    They are obviously tanking in order to get the number 1 pick in the draft.

    They want guys on the floor that give them the least chance to win.

    I think they've pretty much got that locked up now. Right now they need to focus on not becoming a historic embarrassment to the NBA.

    7-61. Good lord...

    instead of trading chris paul, i think the hornets would rather use collison to dump a toxic contract (for example, by pairing him with stojakovic and/or posey).

    When the teams with max free agent cap space strike out on LeBron, I can a trade with the Hornets. Hornets would get a huge trade exception that would be worth alot after the new 2011 CBA with a lower cap or hard cap. They could hold on to for a few years for the right deal in a trade.

    I didn't watch much of this game and gave up when the Hornets were up in the 3rd quarter. I didn't think the Warriors had a chance. Then I just happen to see the score while watching the Bucks/Clippers and couldn't believe the Warriors had come back.

    Collison can dump Posey; Peja no way. Peja's toxic contract is right up there with Hedo.

    Is Chris Hunter a guy we should take a look at next summer? Good size for shot blocking and gets those boards.

    Why did Emeka only play 18 minutes? Hornets are obviously in tank mode. The two guys who had a positive scoring margin impact on the game, Emeka and Wright, both played the least.

    As for the D-leaguers, it's definitely impressive. A product of Nellie's system, sure, but impressive.

    Tolliver doesn't really impress me all that much. He has okay range to the 3 point line, but not good enough that he should be shooting them as much as he does, as it makes him a bad shooter overall, he's not a good rebounder, is undersized and can't protect the paint. In a fast pace system, he can have some high scoring games though, as he did last night.

    Know nothing about the other two, though Hunter seems to have had a solid game against the Lakers, and he has some size.
