    Notes:

    Seattle lead the season series 1-0, with a 91-80 win two weeks ago, in New Orleans. The Hornets are fighting for homecourt i n the East playoffs, while Seattle are out of contention in the West and looking towards next season. New Orleans stars Baron Davis and Jamal Mashburn are both injured, while Vladimir Radmanovic is on the injured list for Seattle, while Jerome James is unlikely to take the court.

    I think Seattle will win this... Baron and Mash not healthy and thats never a bad thing for the opposing team. Ray should ball up on Wesley and Pot has been playing good so he might be able to trip up Magloire. I'll go sonics by 4.

    According to nba.com the Sonics are absolutely crushing the Hornets 80-57 at the end of the 3rd.

    Seattle 96 New Orleans 88

    Last quarter was not too great, but the first and third periods really set this one up, and with a 23 point lead after three you can afford to slack off a little bit, which Nate did by giving Sesay and Ridnour some minutes. Ray and Brent were both fantastic again, while Lewis and Calvin Booth made it four out of five starters scoring in double figures. The other, Reggie Evans, had 12 rebounds. Flip was good off the bench with a dozen, while Luke Ridnour got some playing time, and had seven points and five assists in around about 20 minutes.

    Held the Hornets to only 35% from the field, however let them shoot in excess of 30 foul shots. Rebounding was very even, but in reality the only significance to come out of this game was Milwaukee winning, hampering New Orleans' chances of getting home court in the playoffs.

    I sort of expected some type of comeback in the 4th...didn't think it would be such a big one though. Take what you can get, the team played well for at least 2 quarters. Not bad.
