The Hornets have fired head coach Byron Scott. Scott was just not getting the job done for the Hornets this season who were off to a very disappointing 3-6 start to the year. Scott coached parts of six years for the Hornets compiling a regular season record of 203-216 (48.4%) and he was 8-9 (47.1%) in the post season with the Hornets. The Hornets will replace Scott with general manager Jeff Bower who has never been a head coach in the NBA. He will lean heavily on Tim Floyd who will be his top assistant. This will be interesting to watch as the Hornets have a very talented roster.

The Hornets allowed the Suns to hit 55.4% of their shots from the floor and they were outrebounded 45-29 and those were two big reasons for the loss last night. The Suns ran out to a 75-56 halftime lead before taking it easier on the Hornets in the 2nd half of the game. Chris Paul led the way for the Hornets with 25 points and 6 assists. Emeka Okafor scored 13 points and he grabbed 4 rebounds in only 25 minutes on the floor. James Posey pitched in with 11 points and 2 assists in only 20 minutes off the bench last night. The Hornets are now 3-6 on the season.

The New Orleans Hornets have been very pleased with the play of guard Bobby Brown off the bench so far this season. He has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Hornets so far this season and he is averaging 18.8 minutes, 8.1 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The Hornets hope that Brown keeps up the good work off of the bench the rest of the way this year.

The Hornets took out all of their frustrations for a slow start on the Clippers last night as they led 94-63 after three quarters. The Hornets shot 50% from the floor in this game and they outrebounded the Clippers 45-36 which were two big reasons for this win. Devin Brown led the way for the Hornets in this game with 25 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Chris Paul did a great job of running the offense for the Hornets last night as he scored 24 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, dished out 10 assists and he stole the ball twice. David West also had a good game for the Hornets last night with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. The Hornets are now 3-5 on the year.

The Hornets only shot 36.5% from the floor as they were shooting bricks all night long and you can’t beat the Lakers that way. Chris Paul led the way for the Hornets in this game with 15 points and 9 assists. David West had a rough time shooting only 4 of 11 from the floor as he finished up with 11 points and 4 rebounds. Emeka Okafor was solid around the basket in this game with 10 points and 14 rebounds. The Hornets are now 2-5 on the season.
