This should be a good game! 2 of my current favorite players going at it! Richie Frahm and Dan Dickau!

Hornets 94
Blazers 90

New Orleans- 99
Portland- 71
The Hornets are going to own this game. If the Blazers really don't have Derek Anderson, Damon Stoudamire, Theo Ratliff, Nick Van Exel, and Zach Randolph in there starting lineup (and since they are way out of the playoff hunt they won't force any of them to play in pain) then the Hornets will obliterate them.

Damn, bad game of us, a nine point loss vs. the blazers, but they had stoudamire back...But their main man in offense was Shareef Abdur-Rahim who really had a good day!

Head Coach Byron Scott
(on trying to get the ball to Lee Nailon late in the game)
We tried to get him in a couple o positions or areas where we know he can be effective. It’s just understanding situations. You go through a lot of trials and tribulations when you have a young group of guys out there because they just don’t understand clock situation, they don’t understand game management. Those are all of the things that we are trying to teach them. In the process, you are going to have some hard times.

NOT ENOUGH: The Hornets did not have a starter make a free throw until 1:06 remained in the third quarter when P.J. Brown made two. The Hornets finished the game making 12-of-16.

LOW SCORING: For the third time in four games, the Hornets were held to 16 points in a quarter. They were outscored 20-16 in the third quarter by the Trail Blazers and trailed 70-60 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Last Tuesday, Atlanta held the Hornets to 16 points in the second quarter. Last Friday, the Hornets scored 16 points in the second quarter before losing to the Utah Jazz.

PROBLEM SOLVED: The Blazers had lost their past nine road games by a 13.4-point average. But Sunday against the Hornets, they never trailed after Travis Outlaw's dunk with 6:15 remaining in the second quarter gave them a 34-33 lead. In the third quarter, Portland led by 16. Entering the game, the Trail Blazers had lost 13 of their past 14 games, including 10 straight on the road.

QUICK SHOTS: The Hornets are 0-25 at home this season when they trail after three quarters. . . . The Hornets have lost eight consecutive games at New Orleans Arena. . . . Backup center Maciej Lampe tied a career high with seven rebounds. . . . Forward David West has made 10 of 17 shots and has scored 26 points in the past two games.

MOST IMPROVED? The Hornets are promoting guard Dan Dickau for the league's Most Improved Player award. Dickau has improved his scoring average by 11.6 points since last season. After 61 games with the Hornets, Dickau is averaging 13.4 points.

Dickau for MIP???
