that at some In n Out restaurants, if you’re really really hungry, want a challenge, or want to clog your arteries for an early retirement, you can order the 100 × 100 which is like 100 slices of cheese and 100 patties of beef.

I’m not sure if it’s rumor or if you can actually order it but here’s a pic of someone who actually ordered it (and it only cost them about 97.66 dollars):

It’s the sign of a true SoCal gourmand!

It’s not that those players are mind-blowing good; it’s that Armstrong and Simmons were unbelievably awful in comparison. Brewer ranks annually as one of the best perimeter players at finishing at the rim, and does a decent job at the defensive end. Sefolosha is a solid defensive wing with a lot of upside. Boone is a decent backup center, Balkman is a good energy guy, Smith is an awesome low-post scorer, and Millsap goes without saying. If NO had a modicum of front court depth in their ‘07-’08 series against San Antonio, they probably beat them.

Have to agree with Ollie. Nobody complained much about Byron when he won Coach of the Year 2 years ago and the Hornets went to the Conference Semis. Chris Paul wasn’t exactly a household name likle he is now, either.

Suddenly the Hornets are 2-6 to start the season, and he’s the worst coach on earth. It’s interesting how quickly people’s perceptions change.

Sure, we had a rough playoffs last year, but hey, at least we did make the playoffs, and that with basically no bench at all and in a conference that was one of the strongest in recent history.

Fact is that, besides Chris Paul, it’s unclear what Byron Scott really has to work with. David west is the second best player, but he’s a marginal All-Star. He’s basically a tweener, stuck between small and powerforward whose rebounding numbers have been declining for a number of years now. Third best player? I suppose that would be Okafor, a player who used to be considered the corner stone on a team that sucked terribly. His offense and rebounding is sound but his defense is suspect to say the least—if you don’t believe me, check out the oppoinsg starting center’s stats for the first 8 games, they’re probably shooting close to 70% against him. And he’s an upgrade from Tyson Chandler—I bet Tyson, who used to be cosnidered a massive busy, will now repeat the stats that he had 2 years under Scott, which will be by far his best year ever. Peja is getting up there in age, and so is Posey. Thornton can put up points on the board and he has promise, but what do you think his defense will look like, as a 6’4" rookie shooting guard. Bobby Brown is putting up nearly identical stats that J.Pargo did 2 seasons ago. People seem to remember Pargo’s hot shooting nights, but tend to forget his 2 for 10s and how he struggled most of the time to keep his FG% above 40%.

In short, Byron still doesn’t have all that much to work with really. And this season, the Hornets have to contend with having 2 new starters. A rough start could be expected, certainly.

Why did Byron sit CP3 out for so long? I guess you guys may have missed how he played CP and David West over 40 minutes a game night and and night out to close the season and how those two players looked by the time HO made the playoffs. There’s a background to all these things that you have to keep in mind. Yes, the HOs would have been more competitive if Byron had played CP for 43 minurtes a game, but that woulds have been just plain stupid cosnidering what happened last season. Either the Hornets other guys can get their act together, or they can’t, and if they can’t, making CP3 play for 40+ minutes just so that the Hornets can squeak into the playoffs won’t do any good at all. Last season showed that.

I think the headline post fails to take a lot of these factors into account and therefor lacks some perspective—though I’ll readily admit that the Hornets looked poor last night and they have many issues at the moment.

I missed the Hornets game so I am making my opinion based on his body of work rather then recent misery.

Scott’s lack of patience and foresight with yougsters is a common coaching mistake. Something about ex-players as coaches = “welcome to the bench high school superstar”

J.R. Smith is still a headcase. Karl has benched him in big games as well. Brandon Bass has only come into his own in the last season and is still pretty raw. As for Bobby Brown getting minutes, well that’s his Prerogative so Don’t Be Cruel in your criticism. yuk, yuk, yuk, :)

but I stopped short because I did not want people to go apesh!t over the idea. JVG can inspire that in people due to his outlandish announcer comments. He could work out well and the super high salary he would demand would not be a factor for Jerry Bu$$.

Phil is a master at handling superstars and replacing him with a rookie would be a disaster. Byron Scott is no rookie and has shown competence in coaching and playing with elite players.
