Howard plays smart and hard D.... Love how he plays.

Might want Howard to take these free throws.. I think he's 18 for 18 this year?

He missed one tonight, to make one miss for the year, but your point is still valid.

Burks the first off the bench to give 5 to his teammates. Good to see.

A win is a win..

Damn, I was starting to dream about the Jazz getting a #1 pick.

CJ gave his all for the hornets tonight, all for naught.

Ghost of Deron defeats ghost of CP3

One thing I truly hate about the NBA... You just can't "cut" somebody without paying for it... Literally...

You can't trade Raja (because he isn't worth a bag of chips), and you can't take away his minutes because then he might turn into a cancer...

Stuck between a rock and a hard place... Maybe we can just "give him" to somebody??

Good clamp-down D at the end. Finally they stopped Jack

Nice game from Howard.

Burks was sure rewarded for his good 2nd quarter. Bell gets one rebound. That's his stats for the whole game. At least he only got 13 minutes....as his minutes keep going down...down...down...down

I agree. He hasn't played much in the last couple years so there's bound to be rust. Usually that's on the offensive side. Although, tonight he seemed a little better. Give him time. He'll become one of the fan favorites.
