Hornets 247: Game Previews
As Hornets ambassador, I keep tabs on their blogs (Hornets 247, At the Hive, Hornets Hype), and I came across this game preview.
1. He doesn't like Aldridge, saying his lack of any post game makes him David West-lite.
2. Says he doesn't think the Blazers are that great, even with Oden.
3. "Pritchard's hallmark has been skill with the press, a willingness to spend millions of his owner's money on typically low-reward draft picks, and extreme activity. His draft night binges remind me of that line from MacBeth. No, not 'I dare do all that may become a man', I was thinking 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'."
Seems to me with out KP, we would have Telfair, Tyrus Thomas, Przbilla, Martell... the list goes on. We would have likely had a worse record the year of the draft and missed Oden as well.
He really isn't as high on the Blazers as everyone else. I don't think they'll get the win on the road, but they should get the Hornets at the Rose Garden.

No post game?
Although I always yell at the tv telling aldridge to get in the paint, this seems like a somewhat ignorant statement by the hornets guy. I love Aldridge’s progression and continuing improvement and I can’t wait to see this game. Did he watch the miami game? That first quarter was real nice, with Aldridge playing a huge inside role.
"His game right now is so smooth, so confident and so pure that it translates into a palpable nastiness. It's almost as if his game now carries this aura of an Assassin. Roy is oozing confidence and I think more and more people are finding out there's a grit and toughness to him."

Who has no post game?
Not a real flattering preview.
He does say a few positives, but that down on LaMarcus? Wow.
As official ambassador you need to have a sit down, warning of a potential blogger confrontation. I am picturing the stereotypical, crusty, old Soviet ambassador giving thinly veiled threats coated in smarminess.
“We have read your blog. Your blog is….ummmm, good, yes, very good. You are very gracious with your words. Your words are very big. Not so much as our words are big, but let’s leave that to the bloggers. I just know that our words are very, very big. We could show you some words. Now, of course, that would not be necessary, but yes, we could show you some of our words. Remember that.”

The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers
This is Kevin Pritchard...
Mr. Hornet,
Tell me what you would have done differently if you were in charge
during my tenure. Then point out a mistake I have made.
That is all.
I was interested
in the fact that Bayless is defending for “large portions of the game.” Bayless fans certainly don’t see it that way.
But it was interesting to read someone who doesn’t care much for the Blazers. I’m sure the better we get the more of those we’ll see and we’d better get used to it. Kudos to the BEdgers who wrote comments which reflect well on the Blazer fanbase.
"Another win! If this keeps up, where are we going to put them all?" "We will need to get an extra room for them. That extra room is called 'playoffs.'"- Dave & Q.P. 11-12-08
Hey guys, first post
Ive been reading everything on her for the past few weeks, some great discussions
Anyway, there is a link to tysonchandler.com on the right of that game preview page, and there is a pretty strange video about his “alternative” workout techniques. Maybe he could be using that time to work on his jumphook?
