Keys of the Game:

- Make Chris Paul a scorer rather than a playmaker. Mo and Boobie have their work cut out for them.
- Tyson Chander might not play. That makes them weak defensively in the paint. Make West and Armstrong work on the defensive end.
- Let Lebron be a facilitator and not force him into a scoring role.
- Don't leave Peja open if you can help it. Have Wally shut him down.
- DO NOT ANGER DEVIN....we all know what kind of damage he can do on the offensive end! Oh wait, he doesn't play for us...nevermind.

The Hornets logo is very lame.

Their secondary logo is a ****in' masterpiece though.

Should be a good game, let's go CAVS!

 

[roozy]

Wally defending Peja? wow that is a nightmare waiting to happen.

 

[Mdog1]

Can't wait!!! GO CAVS

Wally defending? wow that is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Fixed

 

[Josh Criiiiibbs]

Wally defending Peja? wow that is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Luckily for us, Wally will end up guarding David West instead

The Hornets logo is very lame.

That's the classic Charlotte Hornets logo. I don't think they've changed it since the franchise moved. Until this year that is.

Their secondary logo is a ****in' masterpiece though.

That one with the Fleur de Lee I think is going to be the more used look. It's more relevant to New Orleans. I like it too.

 

[Chris]

Scary game for us. We'll be lucky to come out with a win... :/

 

[Mdog1]

No such thing as luck. If we win we played better if they win it's lucky lol.

 

[TAS]

Mo is going to have his hands full with Chris Paul

 

[johnny]

This should be a good game to guage where we're at right now.

Chris Paul will have a monster game. I say we win in a close one though.

 

[3 Da Hard Way]

As should Chris Paul with Mo Williams

Honestly i think the Hornets are a tad bit overrated. We'll see

If Chandler is out their bench becomes very shallow.

I actually would be a bit wary of Devin Brown. He does have the ability to get hot and he has a good understanding of the Cavs defensive system...luckly the roster has been modified and bolstered.

The defensive tandem of Peterson, Posey and Brown could be enough to slow Lebron down, so like I said, he should look to be a facilitator first.

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

If we win this game, I will be very impressed. Hopefully Ben can shut down David West and hopefully Chandler is out. It these 2 things happen, we should win.

 

[Numbers Guy]

Peja just twisted his ankle so if things are on our side he'll miss this game and with 2 key contributors out.. we should win this game.

 

[Karma]

Peja didn't return to the game so i doubt he suits up. Chandler is unlikely so no better time as both teams are backing up. Hilton Armstrong will start so we should be attacking him as much as possible. They'll likely start Rasual Butler and keep Posey as the 6th man. Either way both are solid defenders and can hit the three ball.

Tough game, but we are meeting them at a good time. If Wallace and Williams do a decent job on West and Paul we can take this thing.
