My brother said Monta Ellis loves NEW ORLEANS, right next to his home Mississippi. Has also said Monta is frustrated in MIL.

Not sure about other carriers but with Cox, up until last season if you were in the viewing area, it would be on Cox but blacked out on NBATV. On the Hornets schedule it has Fox Sports NOLA listed as the local station. My guide on the channel that I THINK will be FSNO is saying they'll be showing a Mavs @ Jazz game. :idoh:
Hopefully if Charter don't have their act together by then Charter viewers will at least be able to watch it on NBATV.
This sounds soooo doggone promising. How nice would it be if this guy can stay healthy?Quote:
"He looks better every day," Williams said of Gordon. "His body is strong. Probably not in the kind of game shape he wants to be in, but you couldn't tell it by the way he played today. We ran a few plays for end-of-game and he knocked those shots down. He was dynamic in pick-and-roll and he was giving guys a lot of trouble on defense with his pressure.
He needs to get into game shape though.
NBA TV normally just shows the feed from the local network. Also if you are in the range of the local network it would be blacked out on NBA tv for you. So yes if you lived in the region and you had charter, you would not be able to watch. As your NBA tv channel would be blacked out.
Ill have to go back the old connect the computer to the tv trick. Bringing me back to Dish Network days.
I think Gordon is one player who shouldn't have to practice. He is straight glass I would hate to lose him for the season because he gets injured in practice. I mean no walk throughs or anything just let him watch. Just long as he's healthy for the game I'm fine with that.
New Orleans Hornets taking cautious approach toward injured forward Jason Smith

The New Orleans Hornets have not ruled out injured power forward Jason Smith from playing in Wednesday night's opener against the San Antonio Spurs, but they continue to take a cautious approach because of his strained left shoulder.
After missing seven of the eight preseason games because of back and shoulder injuries, Smith went through most of Monday's practice, Coach Monty Williams said. Afterwards, Smith's left shoulder was heavily wrapped but he had no trouble moving his arm.
what theQuote:
Eric Gordon @TheofficialEG10
In two days it's on and poppin'.
i dunno what game monty is playing by saying he may not start or play EJ at all. EJ seems to be excited to get back on the court and I doubt he'll let anyone start ahead of him when he knows he can play 100%.
Man I hope Gordon plays. I wanna see a full lineup.
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
@NOLAJake Two-part answer: the knee is why he may or may not play. Conditioning is why if he does play, his minutes will be reduced
7m Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
If Gordon plays, Monty said his minutes will not be in usual range of 35ish. If Gordon is out, it remains unclear who 5th starter will be
10m Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Asked about the much-discussed Duncan-Davis matchup, Monty said "They're not matched up. Robin (Lopez) will be (guarding) Tim Duncan."
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Jason Smith (shoulder) will play vs. Spurs. Eric Gordon (knee) said he is a game-time decision. EG on status: "It's hard to say right now."
Excited about JSmooth :coolg:
I must've deluded myself. Took hearing he plans on playing on him being guaranteed to get some minutes. At least he's practicing.

"It feels good; it takes me a long time to warm up but I'm here two hours before practice," Gordon said, "trying to get it warm and get it ready. It's tough. I feel pain when I play and of course it looks good to the coaches and everybody here that the past few days I've been playing well and looking well. But it's hard to deal with, especially over an 82-game season.
"It's always going to be an overall (decision. You never want to leave the organization out of what's going on. I tell them how I feel every day. That's just going to be the process, and then we'll develop a process within that."
Gordon insisted he'd be able to play with pain, if necessary, though he expects some minute restrictions early on.
"It's just seeing how much I can handle. This is the start of the season. And it's going to be a long one," he said. "Probably when I get back playing, definitely there's going to be limited minutes whenever I get back. But it's all about me just getting better and rehabbing. As far as limitations, that will be something between me and the coach and definitely how I feel."
Seems like we said, he doesn't have a high pain threshold.
This won't go over well on TD, I bet. Or for many on here. No guarantees...gonna get treated like his knee fell off.
Last night he seemed optimistic on twitter. Is it him, the doctor or Monty saying he should wait?
Difference between playing hurt and playing injured.
This isn't news...
I'd be shocked if he does play... this is no surprise to me for some reason.
Puddin' living up to his name. Take a lesson from Kobe Bryant or hell even your teammate Austin Rivers Mr Puddin'!
hate to say it cause i like EG but come on man... you got paid. NOW MAN UP AND PLAY BALL!
(yes i am getting frustrated with this)
Just to reiterate, no guarantee is NOT the same as saying he's not going to play.
That was scary to read. It seems like he was saying he's going to be in perpetual pain. A la Brandon Roy...
How can Rivers play basketball his whole life and never have gotten a sprained ankle before??? How is that even possible???
I'm expecting to see him on the court for a few minutes tomorrow, that's it.
This is a bit of a suprise to me. I thought he was just waiting for the regular season. Not really sure what to make of this recent bit of news.
To be honest, I really don't understand this.
Is this pain a residual effect from the previous injury/surgery that will eventually wear off, or is he still injured?
Telling you how early he comes in so you won't be mad when he only plays 35 games this year. Book it.
I think it's all mental with Gordon at this point. If you want to feel pain, you'll feel pain. Plus, he's a professional athlete and he's not a teenager anymore. He's not going to be pain-free at all times anymore. He tried out just fine for the Olympic team simply because he actually wanted to play. Hopefull Rivers's attitude towards playing through pain rubs off on Gordon.
Yeah but I've never seen a tough player become soft that way. I think it's far more common in professional sports to become comfortable with the idea of playing through pain than for someone to be a tough guy then suddenly say "This bruise hurts too much. I can't play."
We win games and he'll be fine
