Messy Win, but a win is a win (1 Viewer)

[slowmotion]

That was a tough game to watch. Good thing Mo Pete came back to life, I had actually already given up on him.

I truly hated to see God3 miss those two free throws at the end. He just flat-out didn't have it tonight.....and he's still pretty amazing. What, 19 pts, 12 dimes, one or two steals.

I'm slightly concerned about his shooting in the last few games. More have to get to the bottom of the net come playoff time.

Good points, Broadmoor.

Here's the key stat for the game: "New Orleans outrebounded Orlando (...having the advantage of Dwight Howard) 51-30."

And offensive boards was something like 23-2.

I agree, CP shooting has been off especially for this road trip. Usually he is money when he has an open 3, and he used to perfect on those floaters. Hope he gets his shooting back on track when he gets back home.

For most guys 19 pts 12 ast is a career game... for CP3.... it's an "off night"... relative I guess... he can't be Jesus in sneakers every day of the year... a win is a win... especially right now.

BTW, Dwight Howard is freakishly big. His shoulders are enormous, its like he stuffed basketballs under his skin.

It was the rims - Turf's ugly cousin.

 

[GUTTA NATE]

Besides that Indiana game, CP has been shooting pretty below average from the field on this road trip. He'll get it straight though.

Chris Paul, a TRUE savior...

Yeah, I think I cussed more while watching that than most other Hornets games. I'm really surprised we came back and got it. My TiVo ended about 10 seconds after the buzzer, too. I almost missed the ending.

Let's go Mo! I hope he catches fire and takes it into the post season.

No doubt. Talk about somebody that just physically exploded over the course of about 3 years, he was considered too lanky just before getting drafted.

Of course the downside to his freakishness is that the Magic can't stay healthy because of it since he keeps injuring all his teammates in practice. He bruised Jameer Nelson's jaw, broke Brian Cook's finger, and ended Tony Battie's season with a shoulder injury.
