POTD 1/6/12: Carl Landry Reverses On Birdman

The Birdman left the door to the baseline open, allowing Carl Landry to slip through and go reverse on his dome… Honorable mention to Al-Farouq Aminu.  Nice, strong finish by him, but a better one by Landry, who extended his right arm and whipped it hard over the shot blocker.  I should probably note that there was an unposted POTD on Wednesday: Brandon Bass on Mehmet...

Caption the Photo: New Hornets Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and Al-Farouq Aminu

This looks more like a mugshot than an introduction. The Hornets have some talent and they won’t be awful, but call me crazy but I think the guys would prefer to be back in LA. I could be wrong though.

Don’t the Newest Hornets Players Look Absolutely Thrilled to be Here?

Just looking at the expression on the faces of Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu as they show off their new Hornets jerseys makes me terribly depressed.  Have you ever seen a picture more full of sad in your life?  It’s like they need to be on suicide watch or something. Is New Orleans that bad of a place to play, or are the guys just butthurt because the three...

FEELING NEW ORLEANS?

New Hornets players look thrilled to be there

No really, they're ecstatic.  I've seen prisoners happier to get their jumpsuits.  If you photoshopped a newspaper into Al-Farouq Aminu's hands, you'd get a hostage photo.  How about a little enthusiasm fellas? [follow]

Chris Paul Traded (Finally) to the Clippers for Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-farouq Aminu and a Draft Pick

A nice haul for the Hornets, but I would have taken Bledsoe over Gordon.

The Los Angeles Clippers need more production out of the small forwards in 2011-12

The Clippers need more offensive production out of the small forwards in 2011-12.  22-year old Al-Farouq Aminu might get a shot to be the full-time starter this year.  He played in 81 games (14 starts) for the Clippers last year and he averaged 17.9 minutes, 5.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.  Aminu only shot 39.4% from the floor and he’s going to need to...
