    usually right after a firing their team plays inspired B-Ball for a couple games. Trying to prove the can was justified. Hopefully, we still smash the living hell out of them.

    Guess we will be facing an inspired Hornet team tomorrow.

    NO Hornets fire Byron Scott

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4648162

    You knew this was coming. It should be interesting that their first game, post-Scott, will be against POR. They'll either come out extremely motivated, or sluggish. Hard to predict.

    It happens every time. The GM fires the coach as a buffer to save their own bacon. The problem there is the players, not the coach.

    How is their record a reflection of bad coaching? Their team is terrible outside of CP3/David West/Omeka.....Peja isn't productive anymore, Posey is old, no backups at any position...Who are they going to hire that is better than Byron?

    So, the obvious thing to do here is to trade Travis Outlaw to NO for Chris Paul. Travis can be their player-coach, and take over Peja's starting spot. I think it works for both teams.

    Sounds good!

    Travis 1st day coaching: "Ok everybody, were going bass fishin!"

    Chris Paul: "Coach we have a game tonight".

    Travis: "That doesn't matter, that's how I prepare for every season. It should work great on a day to day basis.".

    NO is Shallow and Pedantic. Sorry I had to do it. I love that catch phrase and was surprised you didn't use it already on this thread.

    CP3 and Scott did have a pretty good relationship, iirc. I wonder how he feels about this.

    Inept management/ownership fails to put together enough talent on the roster, coach he liked gets canned, losses piling up, etc, etc.

    He's the current era's KG.

    I am praying to the dark ones for that to happen, as long as he comes here, of course.

    Hmmm, looks like it would take a huge chunk of casholla and cap space to get it done. Do we even have enough contracts to make that work?

    CP3 + Peja for Oden/Miller/Blake/Outlaw/Webster. It works after Miller's trade restriction thing subsides.
