Mavericks Vs Hornets: Game 25 Preview

pictures! YES!

Now, onto the devastating hypocritical helpful slating tips

In my 1280×1024 resolution all pics are resized, which highlights a prob[lem] :uneven and extra vs-jpgs that need to be created. If you take a look at, say poundingtherock, they use a nice template. Something similar or totally different comes to mind. But by the black background with leftoverspace, you gain no points for Cuban’s Powerpoint Presentation Team.

PG&SG
Without Paul, the Hornets actually played decent this season. 4-4, while beating Pho and Atl….
Of course, that had more to do with Byron “Talk to me when you got a ring, Stackhouse” Scott whom the team [outside of cp3] quit on during last year, highlighted by 121-63. That said, Paul looked a bit less spectacular since his return (shooting wise) from ankle injury.
I’d be surprised if Kidd would defend CP3.

Expect that job to go to the starting 2. And vice versa if Howard will still play the 3-spot instead of the 2. Barea will make you cry and sigh as well as some assists.
Oh, and Terry, it would be nice to miss less than you make, k? Thanks.

Nice spank with the porn stars, but provide the links next time you dirty …
No open threes for Peja, no problem here. Marion takes care of his ankle.

West has been struggling to start the year, but actually worked a little during Paul’s absence. Dirk is Dirk, give me 1 block and 10% missed FTs and i’m good this game.

The Hornets wanted to dump Chandler. He has 0.035 offensive game. Thanks Chris, for that fat contract. Now, Okafor is a better player(11 and10), but almost a black hole on offense(13 ast allyear) as Drew Gooden(4 ast). Since he won’t shoot threes or 20footers well, Damp’s the choice. But watch out for those p’n’r plays..

Coaches, maybe? Carlisle is 25-6 in games decided by 5 points or less. And draws some mean out-of-timeout-plays. Jeff Bower has a mean mustache. Even?

Bench: Earn some Garbagetime, will’ya!?
Beaubois would be a nice test against Chris P.(defensively), but let’s not kid ourselves.
Streaky Jet practiced free throws, so that’s safe…
NO has some interesting rookies and a Posey beyond expiration date.

A blowout would be nice, but the Mavs are even more nice at home and let everyone and their dead greatgrandparents come back in the game. Since you predicted double digit margin, it could very well be 2ot, 1 point game. As long as Dirk doesn’t foul out, Rick’s cool with that.

Keep working on it, Phil :)

this nola.com article, i have to say, byron scott might have even been worse a coach than advertised.

Since taking over, Bower’s record is 7-6 and the Hornets have a 10-12 overall mark. Despite a lopsided defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers and a road loss to the rebuilding Sacramento Kings, Weber said he likes where the team is heading.
Weber said he sees a system that is starting to take root, where players have more information and are better prepared.
“It’s unbelievable to see how detailed he is, he breaks down every game,” Paul said of Bower. “He prepares as well as you can, knowing guys’ tendencies and different things like that. Going into a game if we don’t know what a guy is going to do, it’s our own fault.”
Bower, who retained all of Scott’s assistants and added Floyd, conducts practices as if they are teaching sessions. During shootarounds, players are grouped and seated by their position with each one of the assistants assigned to a group to discuss details about the game plan and the opponent.
“We take the team that we’re playing against and the day before we’ll go over their top four or five plays,” shooting guard Devin Brown said. " Really before (with Scott) we were coming to the shootaround to just stay in shape with all the stuff that we were doing. "
“Now whatever coverage we are calling, it is just one way to do them, and I think that was a little bit different from before. Everybody knows really what their job is now and you go out and do it.”
Brown said he recalled a game last month against Dallas when Scott was still the coach and the Mavericks started Rodrigue Beaubois, a rookie shooting guard from Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe.
 " He was never mentioned to us before the game and he came in and right off the bat scored nine points, " Brown said. “We were in a 9-0 hole and we didn’t even know who that was. So now we go over every individual. It’s a lot more emphasis on scouting reports and guarding individuals and knowing what they do.”
One of the criticisms West had about Scott’s offensive sets were that they had become too predictable.
“The last thing I want is for our team to become predictable and become boxed into a certain set or style of plays,” Bower said. “The schemes we are running now may be totally different in a month or so. We’re emphasizing fundamentals, spacing and knowing where everyone is going to be.”

What’s that? Scouting report? A list of all girls lining up tonight, with Photos, i hope?!

I don’t want to see horrendous D on NBA TV.

hope CP3 doesn’t make me regret it.
