12-6, Baby

I don't have a ton to say today. Enough has been said about that 21-game losing streak the Hornets snapped on Saturday anyways. I'm a little tired of it.

What do I want to say?

We got two more wins and now sit at 4th in the Western Conference, and what's best is Chandler is looking like his knee has finally recovered. Before the Atlanta-Dallas games, he didn't really go up and get those rebounds. He's exploding off the floor again. Peja is also continuing to expand his game from being a spot up shooter. He's getting in the mix for rebounds, running the floor and dribbling a little bit. It's great to see.

The bench, though, not so good. Bobby is apparently playing with a strained groin - which explains his output, but the rest of the 2nd squad is not doing so much. West can't keep playing 40+ minutes a game.

At least Byron is playing Pargo exactly the way he should be playing him. He puts him in, once he's made any combination of turnovers and misses that adds up to 4, he's pulled. With a streaky player like him, that's best. Limit his damage on his bad nights, and let him roll on his good ones.

Oh - and according to one of the comments over on Ron Hitley's blog, Michael Thompson, the Hornets Director of Communications, is leaving the Hornets for the Charlotte Bobcats. I wish him the best, he was instrumental in setting up Ron and I with the Bloggerview with Chad Shinn, and I can't thank him enough.
