Hornets from New Orlean noted really bad start of new season, so far they lost 8 games with only 4 victories, and their rank in league is really miserable. Board didn't like it and fired previous leader Scott and replaced him with previous general manager Bowen. I wouldn't say it changed a lot as team is still playing fairly poor. They won with Clippers but before that quite clear loses to Blazers and Hawks. Crappy performance in both matches as far as I remember. Phoenix on other side is playing really solid basket, and I don't think even the matter of own field and home crowd will change the fact that Suns will shine tonight. Especially that Hornets just lost their most important player Chris Paul, who is pausing for over a month because of injury. Besides New Orlean is not the team that was a thread to anyone anymore. They are far from optimal or even average form. Suns are right now on top of the table with 10 wins and only 2 loses and I think they realize that Hornets without Paul will be even weaker and they can take really precious away win tonight. Steve Nash is leading the Suns team well and lately he is in great form, he assist, throws and spread the havoc on field, I really enjoy watching his game this season. If other Big Guns of Suns like Barbossa, Richardson, Frye or Dudley will cooperate and play like they did in last matches I think it will be a massacre of Hornets who lately really struggle with right game rythmh. Good Luck!
