Oh, and the Hornets have beaten a conference leading team in two straight games, first the Suns and now the Hawks. Hornets will struggle to make the playoffs still, but the two terrific rookies suggest a not so dim future afterall.

In fairness to Scott (or any coach that doesn't play rookies), we don't see what they are doing in practice day in, day out.
Some of these rookies may have nice starts and then collapse once the league has film on them. That said, NO was in serious trouble early and every minute Devin Brown plays is a minute too much, so maybe I see your point.
