Reflections from a Night of League Pass (3/3/08)

Hornets at Knicks

Wilson Chandler and Randolph Morris both FINALLY see action for the Knicks. Chandler actually got about 20 minutes and scored 6 points while grabbing 4 rebounds. Maybe he will finally get some minutes down the stretch as the Knicks play for ping pong balls? Morris plays in his third game of the year. What does Isiah have against the D-League? Well, there's this...

For the Hornets, Jannero Pargo could probably start for a number of NBA teams even though he's perfect coming off the bench for the Hornets. He's a natural point guard with a lethal pull up jump shot that he can create for himself if the shot clock runs down. I love when the Hornets play Pargo and Paul at the same time.

During a two minute stretch, Walt Clyde Frazier praised Chris Paul for finishing with his right hand while asserting that he was left-handed and then continued to praise the Hornet point guard for losing excess weight on his hips since coming into the league. I really love Walt but is he really losing it?

As for the game, the Knicks looked good but fell apart at the end. Shocking.

76ers at Clippers

The Clippers look horrible as they get blown out by Philly. Al Thornton leads the Clippers in scoring with 20 but also ties the franchise record for turnovers in a game with 10. He's a natural scorer but he brings so little else to the table in terms of rebounding (unless he's chasing his own missed shot), passing and defense. He kind of reminds me of Antoine Walker except that Thornton actually can jump.

Louis Williams is going to be a player in this league. Philly actually has a lot of talent in Williams, Rodney Carney and Thaddeus Young but they are too inexperienced outside of their starting back court to really be taken seriously. Unfortunately for them they are in the East so they should make the playoffs and miss a lottery pick.
