Byron Scott is Unimpressed With Hornets

Coach Scott is questioning his team’s mental toughness: “That was probably the worst half I’ve seen us play in a long time,’ Hornets Coach Byron Scott said, after his team’s preseason record fell to 2-5 with one preseason game remaining tonight against the Clippers. ‘Mentally I think we are a fragile team. We’re mentally weak. We can’t be that weak-minded. Chris and David are probably our two toughest-minded players, but that’s no excuse for the way we played.”’

    I thought Posey and his ring meant instant mental toughness? Was Chandler tougher than Okafor?

    “Chris and David are probably our two toughest-minded players, but that’s no excuse for the way we played” – did he really connect those two sentences?!?! brilliant. so did he mean to say “if CP3 and DWest are the two toughest cats on your team, that’s a real bunch of pussies”…

    i’m not disputing CP3′s toughness, it just seems a strange pair of statements. i don’t wanna be punched in the balls – he said it, not me.

    The Hornets are unimpressed with Byron Scott.

    LOL at SAB. Somewhere, Julius Hodge crossed his legs when he read your comment.

    P.S.- A new coach would be nice too.

    Scott to me seems like other ‘tough-minded’ coaches (Karl, LBrown, Skiles…) who get young teams to focus for a year or two before the team gets tired of them. Trading/not trading/then trading Chandler & paying too much for Posey didn’t help either.

    another long year for the best point in the league then huh…. chris paul just leave cuz it ain’t gonna happen for u in the big easy or just cry like kobe and demand help then cry again once they bring u some help man. i’m out like kobe’s top spot hahahahaha

    Statements like these are usually made by coaches who are about to get fired.

    Agree SAB, kinda wierd.

  • Yesse

    Should not have traded Tyson.

    I feel like the Hornets are going to be the new Timberwolves (KG era). A team with a player too good to have the team be bad, but without him they are arguably the worst team in the NBA…

    Coach Scott’s comment are raw, dang.
