It's the curse of Chris Paul. We were undefeated in 2004(2-0) and 3-1 in 2005 against the Hornets. We have a better team now except for the PG position. Chris Paul destroys Rafer.
could also be the curse of jimmy jackson. we traded him to the hornets who traded him to the suns. we can't beat either team.
Actually, losing to the Hornets is part of the team's NBA Cares program that allows the fans of New Orleans to enjoy an NBA victory. David Stern will repay us by telling the refs to call 5% of the fouls committed on Yao(which is 4.9% more than the calls he gets)
Agreed. Yao had an off game, but he wasn't the problem. Defense at the PG spot (or lack there of) killed us. When they weren't scoring, they were penetrating creating open looks for their teammates. I also think this is a large part of why we struggle against the Suns. No one to slow down Nash.
curse of tyson chandler and his apparent love affair with the refs. he gets the superstar treatment and yao gets zilch.
I knew there was reason that Yao had no FT attempts in the first 3 quarters, despite being hacked to death.
