    After that great start they are playing lousy ball, got hammered by Philly today, as a team for the whole game they had FOUR, yes that is just four assists! CP had 3. Welcome to the up and downs of NBA head coaching Monty.

    Of note Darren Collison is doing just "okay" as a starter for Indy, avg only 4.2. per game. Was he over hyped?

    ***3 assists for a regular season game is the record for fewest, 4 teams gave done it, last time was way back in 1976

    Tough for Monty, but damn do I hope the Hornets take a nose dive and make that draft pick look they owe us worthwhile.

    4 total assists!?

    Did Philadelphia play insane defense? I think this is going to be a long season for the lower dwellers, (the non LA, San Antonio and Dallas teams).

    Monty Williams used to be a genius, but now he's all washed up. It happens to everyone eventually.

    I knew they'd come back to earth. They won't win more than 35 games.

    You started a thread saying they'd be a top 4 seed.

    Chris Paul had a decent game. The Hornets are indeed skittering now though.

    Monty brought something new to the team, and now they've been scouted. Change and adapt. React to the adaptation. It's how coaching goes.

    I think the trade they made getting rid of Bayless is what did them in. They messed with the chemistry.

    Of Coarse! Bayless was not even there long enough to make any chemistry! It is funny though that the losing has all come since that trade.
