Scott says Hornets will turn it around
Monday, November 15, 2004

MILWAUKEE -- After their first six games, the Hornets have
clinched their worst start in franchise history.
Unable to win on the road or at home, the Hornets (0-6) and
Chicago Bulls (0-4) remain the only winless teams in the
NBA going into the third week of the season.
The Golden State Warriors lost their first six games but
ended their streak Saturday night with a victory against
the expansion Charlotte Bobcats.
For games this week against the surging Phoenix Suns and
the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Hornets are expected to
be without starting point guard Baron Davis, who leads
the team with a 24.6 scoring average.
Davis is expected to be out for seven to 14 days to recover
from an inflamed disc in his lower back.
But point guard Darrell Armstrong, who will assume Davis'
starting spot, believes it's just a matter of time before
things begin to turn in the Hornets' favor.
"I feel that we can win on the road and at home," Armstrong
said. "We're starting to get that feel. We've been only
blown out in one game."
The blowout came in the season opener when the Dallas
Mavericks shot 53.8 percent and cruised to a 106-91 victory
at New Orleans Arena.
The Hornets have lost twice by one point. In Saturday night's
94-91 loss at Milwaukee, New Orleans had a chance to send the
game into overtime but guard David Wesley missed a desperation
3-point attempt with three seconds remaining.
Despite the latest setback, Coach Byron Scott was encouraged
with the effort.
"We still have a lot of work to do," Scott said. "But we're
headed in the right direction. I feel we should have a few
wins; we played the last five games and been right there.
Things are going to change around if we keep improving."
Several of the backups still are trying to figure out their
roles. At times, forward David West and guard Alex Garcia
looked unsure what they were supposed to do in Saturday's game.
"Sooner or later, it is going to click in and the guys are
going to understand what we are trying to do with the offense,"
Scott said. "If we can have patience on the offensive end and
run it and let it work, then we'll be OK."
最後這三段看了有些小擔心,球員在場上還會無所適從.這樣的狀況應該
在季前熱身賽的時候就解決吧 Q__Q
