I was in the New Orleans Arena tonight for this debacle. I can vouch for the fact that the score is correct. Denver is playing really well, but they were fortunate to draw an imploding, crippled team in round one. Even if you put the worst team in the NBA against the best, if it gets beyond about 25 points then there is some quitting involved. So you can do the math on a 58-point loss at home in the goddamn playoffs. The Hornets are a mess.
It was interesting to hear Bill Simmons on his podcast, before the playoffs started, essentially picking the Hornets in this series. Neither he nor his guest had any idea how serious Chandler's injuries are. I find that to be the prevailing national opinion (judging from the completely laughable, uninformed reactions after the aborted trade). It's the only thing that gives me any hope that MAYBE we can find a gullible team to unload this lemon on in the offseason.
