    They better be saying their prayers in the locker room that it's only a nine point lead.

    We haven't done much to show that we can win this game. Hopefully they can come out in the second half and with more hustle and focus.

    that 3 to end the half hurt.

    definitely need to go to oden more in the 2nd half. no one on the hornets can guard him inside. bayless and sergio have both done good jobs attacking the basketball, of course roy and rudy both have really struggled.

    Why didn't the clock start when the Hornets had the ball on the last possesion?

    And why is this in 4:3 format if it's HD?

    Would it kill our guards to force feed Oden?

    Paul didn't touch the ball til he got to halfcourt. I never understand why defenses allow teams to do that when it's as simple as running the guy at him for a second and backing off. Blake gets away with it a ton.

    Are you referring to when they had in-bounded the ball but Paul hadn't picked it up yet?

    Oden has posted his man up several times and the guards haven't been able to get the ball to him. Sergio certainly couldn't a couple times.

    I'm pissed if I'm Oden.

    I've notice a lot of times there is a bad angle between the player with the ball and Oden, I don't know if that's Oden's fault or the rest of the team, but many times it would be a sure TO to force it in. Of course many times he's wide open, but I wonder why the angle is so bad a lot of the times.

    Did he just let it roll? I thought he was dribbling, but I was looking ahead and at the clock so I'll take your word for it.

    I wish Oden wasn't so unselfish and wouldn't kick it out auto when he sees a double team coming. It'd be nice if he'd just take it up quickly instead a lot of the times.

    Rice is right.... Brandon with two points and Greg with 3 FGAs in the first half are both equally as bad.

    And that was a crappy foul on Greg.

    Did that one Greg post up fill Nate's quota for him for the rest of the game? Geez..
