Hornets choked

The Hornets are a Tier 2 team. The Lakers and Celtics are Tier 1.

bengals defense for getting me 35 points on Sunday, good work guys!

Those frickers are just fricking up their draft pick status now.

They need to lay the frick down against KC this weekend.

A team can only CHOKE when they lose to an inferior opponent, or lose a game they had in hand.

The Hornets are not as good as the Lakers or Celtics. Their only chance to win it all will be if those other teams suffer major injuries.

You can't choke when Peja doesn't play. Granted, we aren't as good anyway, but when you have Mo Pete play a lot, that's not a good thing

agreed or a major trade

the hornets were never in the game, so how did we choke? because we had a lead in the 1st quarter? peja wasn't playing either. granted the refs were all over kobe like kobe was on that colorado girl, they obviously didn't lose the game for the hornets. lakers are a much better team and in the triangle offense, hornets can't stop anyone on the defense, particularly gasol and bynum. and the hornets couldn't shoot at all so there was no chance. hornets are a much worse team than the lakers. they will be lucky to win a series or two.

I think they hype themselves up (at least West does) and end up losing focus. Doesn't change the Lakers being better, but that's my explanation for why they played AWFUL against them both times.

This trade could and I think should happen. I think J Bower should package JuJu, Mo Pete, and maybe Peja to Golden State for Corey Maggette, Randolph, and B Wright.

celts and lakers>>>>cavs and rockets>>>rest of nba
