At last, the Hornets are back in New Orleans. It's been three weeks since I've seen a game at the Arena so I'm all revved up for this one.
The Clippers come in with a bad record and worse health. Zach Randolph (bellyache) and Chris Kaman (brain freeze) are both out, Baron Davis (being himself) is day-to-day and Ricky Davis is busy serving a five-game suspension on account of his penchant for drug use.
No excuses: we should be bouncing back strong from Wednesday's loss.

Let's hope Peja can get his groove on!

He didn't have his shooting stroke with him on the road trip; forgot to pack it. It was lying on his bedside table for a week.
Should be all good tonight.

They better have JuJu Active for this game. We need to get into trash time somewhere in the 3rd and let the reserves all get some PT.

I'm with Juncti. Even though I'll be watching Celts-Cavs, I'd love to see JuJu and Bowen get some time tonight
I'd love to see: Daniels-Peterson-Bowen-Wright-Hilton in garbage time. Marks and Brown need not leave the bench area the entire game.

Not in attendence for this one, as I'm packing for my army duties. Again, I'm not interested in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th quarters. The only quarter I'll be really watching is the 2nd.

This is a home game, so why isn't it full screen on CSTHD?!

Butler 4/4 from deep and 2-2 from the line in the first!

Rasual's got his groove back. Who's this Jones kid for LA? he's not listed in the program.

This is going pretty good. 62 points at halftime. We look pretty soft inside and Novak is being left open a little too much, but methinks we're winning this one easy tonight. Nice work by the bench in the second.

When the Clips played the Mavs earlier this week, they only dressed 8 players (the minimum). I would assume Jones was a quick sign to have a more balanced back-up.
Daniels has a 6 (3-3 shooting), 4 AST, 1 STL game in 5 minutes.

oh yeah, Fres Jones, right? Did y'all see the story? He had a try out and didn't even pack clothes because he didn't expect much. Only they offered him a job and a fresh uniform.

Talk about a good call. That statement popped in my head as I was watching.
Stick a fork in JuJu. You go into a game pretty much knowing you're going to have trash time, and don't dress him. If that's not a sign I don't know what is.
