30 minutes ago?

19 minutes for Davis tonight. Can't complain too much because he was rather awful but damn.

Wrong!!!!! Lol

He got 20. Sadly I'm not surprised. I bet Davis learned a lot tonight from playing less than half of the game.

Head to Motown.

well that was lame

Only offensively. He was rebounding well at least. Hell, Vasquez only outrebounded him by a single board.

Davis just needs to bulk up.

I've seen so many times guys back him down and go right around him because they push him off his spot.

Off-topic but what do y'all think Eric Gordon's trade value is? good player + 1st or 2 1st etc.?

Unless a team thinks he'll return to health with that contract, he's gonna be tough to move. Unless Demps finds a GM that likes taking risks.

Yea. I like him but I don't feel like our franchise needs to go through the risk. I think he is worth a top 5 or 2 mid-late 1st. Just me though

Gordon's trade value probably isn't very high.

With injuries no but when healthy and playing normal i think so

His injury history will always be with him.

Yea i know. Too bad though

His trade value has basically gone from a good injury-prone player on a good contract to an inconsistent injury-prone player on a bad contract. Not so good.

Not saying he can't turn it around, but that's where he's at right now.

Is there anyone who thinks he won't turn it around?

yo I didnt watch the game but why did Gordon have 6pts and 6TO? Doesnt make sense why this guy keeps turning the ball over.

about 3 of those turnovers should of been assists, Aminu fumbled two really good passes.

If he stays healthy he will. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

Why has Darius gotten any minutes recently? I mean he got 26 one game when he got back and then drops to end of the rotation again?

I'm skeptical too since he really hasn't proven alot in this league, but I do think he has the talent to be a very good SG if he stays healthy. The team needs him long-term. If he doesn't pan out, it will set the franchise back.

It all depends on what you consider turning it around means. Is he going to ever meet the expectations of what hornets fans thought he would be when he got here ? I'm not so sure. We're those expectations a little high to start with? Probably.

we tend to go way out of our way to support our own and find the silver linings (and there is nothing wrong with that).....however, the honest truth is that Gordon's numbers have never been overly special....he possesses the traits to be one of the really good ones, but he will never get to that point until he gets physically right and his head on straight at the same time....and we are pretty much at his mercy for the moment anyway and thats a shame....

Wow I thought AD had a bad night, D. Lillard was 1\16 against the magic:eek:

Something has to happen with our bigs because we don't have enough minutes to go around.

Its gonna take Davis bulking up and moving to center because the team is more invested in Anderson than Lopez.

Some episode tonight huh?

Oh yeah, it's going to hit the fan next week I feel.

At first Gordon when came back he looked fantastic, but now he looking like a slightly above average SG, which isn't why he is paid the max. He was passing the ball good now it seems like Rivers decision making has passed his on some plays. I have a hunch Dell is looking to move him and either GV or Lopez just to get a good deal.

Do you think Monty picks up the box score after some games and is surprised by what he sees?

Like what do you think his reaction was when he saw Davis got less than 20 minutes tonight?

How come there is two Eman's on Hornetsreport? Is there something going on that i don't know??

I think its a Poster of the Month benefit :)

What's the excuse for the franchise scorer this time? Scoring at least 10 points is asking too much of him?

We are a young team growing, and because of his ability to coach players I am at a good place with Monty. But next year if he is around, and he still has these brain dead rotations I could see him getting dropped like a hot potatoe. Ain't nobody got time for that!
