JSwoll

I'm tired of people saying that JJ is just a KID. He is 21 years old, he is not a kid. There are tons of 21 year old men in the work force and if they had done what he did in the off season they would have lost their jobs. He was just lucky to be put back on the team as far as I am concerned. Playing college football is a privilege its not a right.

I don't understand the whole JJ is better than Lee thing either. The offense just looks a lot smoother when Lee is in there, with the exception of the Alabama game. However if you throw a pick and then don't play again for a hour and a half to two hours I wouldn't think you would be in the groove on your first pass back in either. I think a lot of us are looking forward to next year because there will be NO JJ and no Hatcher finally. I am still really hoping we win it all this year even if I do have to keep watching JJ go brain dead on the field.

I would have rather seen Monty go and us keep Thornton. Monty is limited to coaching only one way and that is his way and not adjusting to the situation. When Okafor went down everyone could see that we couldn't defend the paint or really rebound. When you can't stop a team from scoring the only way to beat them is to out score them and that is what Marcus could have helped the hornets to do but Monty is to proud to adjust. I really wish we would have gotten Tom T instead of Chicago.

It has to be LSU. The reason is the Saints are the Gulf Coast Team because MS and AL don't have pro teams. LSU is Louisiana's team.

I was offered by D2 schools, then I tore my knee up with 8 games left my senior year. Smith's feelings weren't the orginal point the point was how do you think it looks like switching to Lebron's agent and then seeming to have a diva attitude. Do you think since Lebron's been in his ear does he feel more intitled or that he deserves more?

I was the star on my team expect when I went and played with the D1 guys that went to LSU. I played point guard so I completely understand CP3's importance. He is the most important player on the floor because everything feeds off of him. All I was say is you can get on your teammates thats fine anyone who has ever been a leader has done it. Just try not to make them look bad in front of everyone. How would you feel if your boss bitched you out in front of everyone when he could have done it just between you to and still got the point across. Don't take this as me not liking Paul he is my favorite player in the league and I think he is a great guy.

My Observations from the game and I was at the game:

CP3: He is an amazing player that I love to watch play basketball so don't get me wrong with this next statement. Since signing with Lebron's Agents it seems he may have become a diva. He got knocked down to the floor and Smith was not looking at him and CP3 was waving for him to come pick him up off the ground like he was pissed off. When Smith came and picked him up he jumped his arse for not coming get him up sooner. You really shouldn't do something like that to one of your teammates.

Marco B: He seems to feel the place that Peja once did but he is better at getting to the goal and passing to teammates.

Ariza: Did what they traded for him to do with the expectation of making 3's. He played good defense, rebounded, hustled, and got to the hoop well. He just needs to shot the 3 better.

West: He did what he does. He makes the jumpers and works well with CP3. Then he does the West defense if someone gets a step he fouls. He needs to work on sliding his feet to keep his man infront of him and away from the goal.

Oakafor: He rebounded well and defended ok but no shot attempts for your starting center when your backup center has 10. That does make any sense.

Pops: He didn't do to much but foul.

Mbenga: I can see why the lakers didn't play him to much he just takes up space.

Peja: He's old but he can still shoot. They should play him some with CP3 so he can get some open looks.

Bayless: From game 1 I can't believe we traded a first round pick for this guy but I guess every team needs a guy to come off the bench at a time out and high five everyone and say your doing so great. Other than that he looked ok as a backup point not really any mistakes.

Thorton: I understand his foots hurt a little but the 2nd most dynamic player on your team is your 11th man I don't think so. When he came he played well and did some good things but the coach is hampering him by playing him at the 3. He is already a little undersized to play the 2 and he puts him at the 3 so Bayless and Green can get some time. Play him with CP3 and get him so open 3's.

Green: Thorton should be getting his minutes unless you need another defensive guy out there because his shot was off.

Smith: He look terrible early but got a little better as the game went on but he should not be taking 10 shots and most of them were jumpers. I have always hated to see a 7' center shooting deep jumpers your 7' foot get your butt on the block. I also don't want him playing much at the end of the game like he did last night.
