Kobe Bryant has long been considered among the NBA's best shooting guards. It's more recently that Chris Paul has joined the same discussion regarding point guards.


Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers visit Paul's New Orleans Hornets for the first time this season on Wednesday, when two of the Western Conference's hottest teams each look for their fourth straight win.

Bryant had 28 points the last time the teams played, in Los Angeles on Nov. 6. But it was Paul's 19 points and career-high 21 assists that led the Hornets (23-11) to a 118-104 road win.

That was one of Paul's 19 double-doubles this season. He's third in the NBA with 10.3 assists per game -- behind only Steve Nash and Jason Kidd -- but he has more points and fewer turnovers per game than both those players.

I'm not 100% sure on West but we should know more by morning. The only thing I've read is that as of Monday he's 'probable'.

I watched the Lakers dismantle Memphis last night and I realized this is not the same team we played at the beginning of the season. Nevertheless, I'll be in the arena tonight, hopefully cheering our team to victory.

Ely is back and in the mask...I'm kind of surprised that Scott sat Paul down...Aside from him hitting shots or dishing the hornets didn't do anything in the 1st...They certainly didn't play the sort of defense you'd like them to either

Chris Paul is playing very well...shocking.

David West is also playing extremely well, and he always seems to against the Lakers. I hate it.

I guess this is the night when Peterson,Peja and the entire bench completely disappear...Hopefully they won't disappear for more than one night...God it's so frustrating that this team can't rely upon those guys to even play like NBA players most nights.

We just gave you guys a gift by deciding to not play defense for the last few minutes of the quarter. 7-0 run by the Hornets to end the half, and it's now an 11-point lead.

This was a terrible defensive effort tonight...I hate to criticize Chandler for just being too skinny,but he got abused inside tonight.Aside from Paul,West and Chandler the rest of the team only made 7 of 36 shots all damned night.Again we lose when we shoot horribly on treys(1-11) although it wasn't so decisive tonight
