Getting ready to go
NEW ORLEANS — As the Hornets hit the stretch run of the preseason, it’s time for coach Byron Scott to start looking ahead to the rapidly approaching start to the regular season.
“The last two preseason games I like to have the guys in the rotation play their regular minutes,” Scott said. “I’m trying to get them ready for (the season opener) October 31.
“I want the starters to get used to playing the minutes they’re going to play. I want the backups to know about what time they’re going in so they can look at the clock and start getting themselves mentally prepared. And I want to get myself accustomed to using guys the way I’m going to use them.”
New Orleans (3-2) plays at Dallas tonight. Then come the dress rehearsals for the regular season — against Atlanta on Wednesday in the New Orleans Arena and against Charlotte on Friday in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Scott’s starting lineup is set with guards Chris Paul and Morris Peterson, forwards Peja Stojakovic and David West, and center Tyson Chandler.
