I attended this game at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, so I have fewer thoughts than normal. However, in the midst of the spilled tears and sadness at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks, I have couple of thoughts.
- Marvin Williams is really holding on to his starting job so far. This afternoon, he hit 5 3’s and had 3 blocked shots. Pretty solid outing for him, and he is the leading three point shooter on this team so far.
- I know that real sports writers like Zach Lowe have commented on the Hornets color scheme and court design already, but it really is amazing. The beehive court combined with purple and teal really is one of the great color schemes in the League. Unlike the Hawks new unis, which are atrocious.
- It is always fun to be in an arena. The players look more athletic, the noise drives you to hysterical levels, and some dancers are better than no dancers! (My wife refuses to be the timeout dancer for me)
The Hornets have started out 0-3, and Coach Clifford talked after the game about players being organized and having to know what they are doing on the court at all times. There are definitely some large negatives with this team, but the season is still young, and the hope that this team will gel and become a team that can legitimately win games against talent still lives on.
