Damn....did you guys catch what happened to the queens....the score was 91-80 the queens were up on NY...then I look at the final and the Knicks won 114-111....damn, I gotta see those highlights.

It kinda makes this loss, much more bearable....anyways....the countdown to the Bulls record begins...1 loss is in the books...8 more can be given up for the entire season now, if we want 73 wins.....Damn...we need to start clicking.

It's over man, the Hornet's get first blood. We're mortal, it showed tonight. Lets just hope this is a wake up call for us, if we want the title back we gotta work for it. This shows other teams not to fear us that much, and that is NOT good.

Fatigue was really a factor in this game it was evident that perhaps our lack of speed and bench depth hurt us. Barring a trade I don't see us getting much more than our starters can give us. The second squad is horrible, we don't have any one guy to depend on other than Fish. People like Rush, Grant, Pargo must step up, they have been a real disappointment so far this season. Don't even get me started on Russell he needs to get over his confidence trip of he'll find himself takeing the same path as the recently departured Lindsey Hunter.

No big deal.

They were obviously tired and played like it.

It's way too early in the season to get frustrated by this. The Hornets were out for blood and they got it.

They'll learn from this loss and move on. If you thought they were going 82-0 you were thinking foolish.

New Orleans 114-95 FINAL

YUP...we can certainly learn from this loss, although I thought that Phillie would use the bench more...too bad though...them guys deserve a break...and just torturing their <censors> with the likes of Baron Davis and PJ Brown ain't gonna help that...the bench was lousy again, Fisher had 11 though, a bright spot, but everyone else blows...hey! Horace and Russell both scored at least 5 points today! Red Alert!

What this game needed was a madson spark, oh well. He's too busy kicking the sh.... out oe the magic

You're finally seeing that Rick Fox is very vital to this team. He is where the defense starts and ends and without him the Laker defense is a shell of what it can be. When Rick comes back these shellings the Lakers are taking from the likes of Redd and Ginobli will stop.

The second unit will also be better with George coming off the bench with them. All will be o.k.. It's early in the season and no team is perfect.

Danny Ainge · by **Danny Ainge** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 7:43 pm

Well Joker, offensively we've been able to hold our own but on the defensive end we've simply been out hustled. Playing defense for 24 seconds seems to be a reoccuring problem.

TOTALLY...Rick Fox can really be vital, maybe even Jamal Sampson, giving us some raw agility and defensive ability against the younger generation of centers. I have yet to see what Cook can do, but I hope he can contribute one way or another. LUUUUUUUUUke needs time, but it just goes to show you that back-to-back games may cause trouble with this team, especially if it's taken to double-overtime. :jam2:

crucifido · by **crucifido** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 7:45 pm

Rick Fox will cure that

Do we need to raise the issue of dumping our bench AGAIN!!! Come on hardline Rush and Pargo fans, give it up already!!! :man2:

#1_Kobe_fan · by **#1_Kobe_fan** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 7:58 pm

does not look good... it looks like our first lost is coming tonite

crucifido · by **crucifido** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 7:59 pm

It's only the 6th game of the season! RELAX!

Once again, Rick comes bac and Devean goes to the bench. Then Medvedenko comes back and the bench gets even stronger. Cook comes back and the bench is stronger yet again. Just be patient. 5-1 and you'd swear we're the Cavs the way some people are freakin out - it's no big deal. They weren't goin' 82-0.

Guys and Gals, we cant get down over this. We played A game and an extra quarter last night. We were tired. The Lakers arent going to go undefeated. Things will get better...

WE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :man6:

o well

by **Guest** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 8:41 pm

Who ever though the Lakers and Mavs would switch places, with the Lakers big offense and absolutely no defense, and the mavs with their slow start..

Send Rush and Pargo back to the Middle school basketball team or trade them for some new players.

BoogieKnight · by **BoogieKnight** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 9:15 pm

Noooooooooo!

We're not gonna go 82-0?

Damn you Bill Walton for jinxing us.

Yes, wongy, our bench needs to go. Pargo needs to be the first thrown to the curb.

rydjorker121 · by **rydjorker121** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 9:21 pm

JAMAAL MAGLOIRE next year...lets rip him from the Hornets and give Pargo to the expansion draft Charlotte Bobcats!

crucifido · by **crucifido** on Fri Nov 07, 2003 10:17 pm

You guys are far too overreactive when it comes to personnel.

Come a month from now when the bench settles into their rhythm I expect all of you to apologize to the Lakers and admit that one loss is no big deal.
