David West has a career-high four blocks, FWIW.

Yeah that's a fair comparison.
Both are those high-energy players and run the floor well.
I like Madsen, but Vroman's a better rebounder.

Hopefully Byron will continue to feed the kid minutes.
I think he's already got a good mentor in PJ Brown to help his development.

Re: 4/12 New Orleans Hornets @ Phoenix Suns
good effort, just not enough to pull out the W. It sure is a shame that this hornets team STILL isn't playing at 100%, they have been absolutely injuury ravaged all season long.

Re: 4/12 New Orleans Hornets @ Phoenix Suns
The Suns were just teasing the Hornets. Sorry to get everyones hopes up but they have been doing this all year. They're fourth quarter killers.

 dont "kid" yourself bro, the hornets held in by limiting their turnovers and playing unselfish ball, phoenix didnt "toy" with them for 36 minutes and potentially put themselves in the situation to lose the game. Unless their really that stupid, which I sincerely hope not.
Just out of curiosity, what exactly do they do differently to constitute them simply toying with a team, since its pretty well known that they dont play that well of defense anyway, do they just slack off even more? do they take ill-advised shots? Did they slack off against golden state the other night and the plan just backfired? please o'wise one, enlighten me

Re: 4/12 New Orleans Hornets @ Phoenix Suns
Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread! It was also a good game of the Hornets, who really kept it close for 3 quarters, J.R. Smith with 23 points but bad shooting! David West and PJ Brown also had good games!
Boxscore
Recap
Quote:
Smith scored 23 points and P.J. Brown had 15 rebounds for New Orleans (18-59), which had a three-game road winning streak stopped.
"They just executed better than we did down the stretch," Smith said. "That's the type of team they are, they get up and down the court and execute."

Bad shooting. We've been in a shooting slump for a while now. Defense affects our shooting of course but our offense doesn't melt just because the defense is tight. It's more because we couldn't hit our shots. We've won plenty of games against good defense team. Oh well... a W is a W. I'll take any.
Hornet was pretty tough though. I really wanted a blowout early so Nash could rest more. sigh.
