Primarily, our coverage here will focus on the City of Seattle’s attempt to bring the NBA back to Seattle.

No stopping Hornets Paul
Posted by Eric Williams @ 05:17:55 pm

New Orleans point guard Chris Paul has been a one-man wrecking crew so far for the Hornets.

Paul has 14 points and six assist at the half, as the Hornets lead Seattle 52-41.

Seattle is getting beat down the floor in the first half. The Hornets have a 10-3 advantage in fastbreak points.

Kevin Durant leads Seattle with 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting in the first half. Wally Szczerbiak has 10 points off of the bench.

The Sonics are settling for jump shots and not aggressively attacking the paint, which accounts for their 36.6 percent shooting from the floor.

New Orleans also holds a 30-10 scoring advantage inside the paint for Seattle.

Seattle needs to attack the basket and turn up the intensity defensively of they want to get back into this game in the second half.

Tough loss. The difference in quality of play between Chris Paul and the Sonics point guards is pretty jarring.

Eric,
What did you think about Ridnour's defense?

Seattle played zone most of the time Luke was in. I think more important is Luke seemed to move well when he was out there. It will be interesting to see how his leg feels tomorrow during practice.
