CP3, You A BADDDD Boy

Posted by Jake on January 22, 2009

The pesky Indiana Pacers, just like they always seem to do despite being 15-27 and second to last in the Eastern Conference, hung around with one of the NBA’s elite all game long and answered everything the Hornets could throw their way. The Bees would pull out ahead, the Pacers would close the gap and just when the Hornets seemed to escape with the win, Granger hit a highly contested step back 3 pointer to tie the game at 100 with 2.5 seconds to go.

But as it has been seen before, at least for the past two seasons, you don’t leave the Hornets shooting offense any where near 2.5 seconds to get up a last second shot, especially when CP3 is practically begging for the coach to give him the ball. Final play: Posey pulls the trigger, inbounds to CP3, always a good decision, CP dribbles around the arc, finds his spot and just like Granger, pulls up and shoots a long, contested 3 ball at the buzzer that drew nothing but the inside of the net. The Hornets won 103-100 and improved to 25-13 off of that shot. They are 3rd in the Western Conference, 2nd behind the San Antonio Spurs in the division, who occupy the 2nd spot in the West.

Tonight the Hornets will face Byron Scott’s old team, the New Jersey Nets at the Hive.

Saints Pass The Pile of Compost To Gregg Williams

Posted by Jake on January 17, 2009

The man seen to the left will be depended on to revive probably the biggest liability in New Orleans Saints history. Gregg Williams has had a history of producing some pretty solid defensive units with top 10 defenses in a couple of seasons with the Washington Redskins, however, just like all the other coaches and players that always seem to be available to the Saints there are those pesky quwershtion marks. (yes I meant to do that) Williams, although proving he can possess a solid defense on staff, he also headed a 17th ranked defense, info courtesy of the Chicks, and never really improved without the aid of Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs. So, hhhhhhhhmmmmmm, perhaps we shall wait and see, dammit, just like all the other got damn times we hired another staff member. But hey, at least he couldn’t possibly dash the high hopes of a who dat nation foaming at the mouth waiting to see what this guy can do. They may be foaming at the mouth, but only because the defense couldn’t possibly suck as bad as it did before. Sure, our linebackers arent the most physically fit and our safeties are washed up and our corners are just dumb, but at least we know that the montrosity of the play calling will not repeat itself, right. The whole LBs five yards back from the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 1 thing, you know. Or on run formations again, LBs five yards back. I think Gary scary Gibbs was gettin high, what other reason could explain the unprecedented phenominom? I’ve never even seen a Saints coach call defensive plays quite like the way Gary D-Bag Gibbs would. Workin that play chart like a bucket of rotten tomatoes.

Gregg W. doesn’t have to do sh*t as far as I’m concerned. Just put on your New Orleans Saints sweats, get in your car with a little bit of rest on Sunday, and come to work. The results of this effort can and will be seen on the field, and our 11th ranked defense will tickle everyone who fills that Dome so much, they’ll be laughin all the way to the second round of the postseason.
