A billion other games on the NBA schedule tonight. Most relevant to us Hornets fans is Phoenix at Golden State (ESPN, 8pm Central). If the Suns lose and we win, there we'll be alone atop the Western Conference.
I'll be checking in with some amazing comments during the game. Stay tuned, kplztnks.

Hmm, Chris Paul didn't warm up. Apparently he's feeling a little under the weather but he'll give it a go tonight. It would really suck to lose this game. Tough schedule after the break.

63-60 at the half. Crazy game. Bobby Jackson just hit an insane triple at the buzzer. Let's hope we can play some of that defense stuff in the second half.

We have problems on defense, and what is up with our offense too!? It seems like we're playing differently than how we did during the winning streak. Also, is it just me or is DWest afraid to shoot anymore?? All he does is hesitate!

Yeah, I've been noticing that about West. He's a lot more hesitant on his jumper these days. Pity. He's money with that. Maybe he just doesn't want to be called Fluffy anymore. All tied up heading to the fourth. Still waiting for some defense. Our guys need to focus. Techs on CP and Peja now.

hey ron instead of calling peja serbian or croatian i hope you know technicaly he is yugoslavian just happens that his grandparents were serbia before the countries merged so lets just call him a yugoslavian?

Is that what he prefers though, Emir? I'm all for it, but he introduces himself as a starter saying he's from Belgrade, Serbia.

Besides - Peja is a Greek Citizen, and that's where he resides in the off-season. Good ol' Balkans.

Yeah, I think he played professionally in Greece for a while before coming to the NBA, so I'm betting his Greek is pretty good. A man of many talents our Peja be.

he went to school in serbia he was born in croatia but at that time it was part of yugoslavia but since his family was serbian after the war he naturaly took that country as his home country just like my cousin was born in croatia but after the war he changed it so he was bosnian because thats were his parents were from basicly if you grew up in the ex yugoslavia countries like i did you could tell who was a serb croat or bosnian without even talking to them i gues he'd perfer serb just because thats what he really is but id rather not have people argueing about it like the two up there did
