New Orleans March 16th, 1:00 PM

TV - ABC

Kudos to ABC for picking up this game between the Pistons and this very good NO Hornet team coached by my pick for Coach of the Year, Byron Scott.

The Hornets are coming off two strong wins against the Spurs (100-75) and the LA Lakers (108-98). They are led by their MVP candidate Chris Paul - what did he do in those last two victories you ask? how about a 26.5 point per and 17 ast per game (he had 37-11 in a loss against Houston a few days before). David West is an allstar and Tyson Chandler has become a rebounding and shot blocking fiend.

Let`s hope the Pistons coming off a big win of their own against the Spurs don`t get caught in this "Hornets Nest"!

It's at Det. then Nuggs at Det. then at Cavs. We might sacrifice the Nuggs game as Cavs need our full attention.
Hornets 9.1 DR. If we try to defense them too much we lose 90 to 88. If we let it flow we win
105 - 99

So who is our best guy to contain Paul? Flip plays AA for 25 minutes and Paul scores 0 points and zero assists. I watched that game yesterday in my dreams. When i woke up, i came back to reality... Flip = no AA

You have to face reality. Flip will never be an AA fan. AA just doesn't score enough. They should trade AA to san antonio, Pop will know how to use him.

According to 82games, the Hornets are #1 in the league at the PG position while Detroit is #2. They basically take production by the PG minus production by the other team's PG. Assists, rebounds, steals, etc all count toward that production.

They are #4 at the PF position and we are #14 (our weakest position). We have a big advantage at the other 3 positions though.

Billups is going to play 30 minutes against Paul. I'm not sure Dixon can guard him.

Early start today! I'm almost ready!
