I know its still very early in the season but the Hornets have lost 3 of their last four, including a loss to the Bobcats. This is a team which is meant to be a contender so what's gone wrong so far? Any ideas.

No support for Paul is whats wrong. West is not playing up to his normal standards... Chandler is very much the same.

Teams have worked out form San Antonios lead you cant stop Paul you have to stop Peja on the perimeter then but a body on West and you shut them out as Paul cant win it without help.

I agree- the L has sort of figured them out a little re don't try to stop Paul, just shut down the others.
Quickly- name a Hornet other than Paul that can beat a guy off the dribble? That can create offense with no help at all?
hmmmm....
The other issue i beleive is the defense of Chandler is slipping.
He needed to continue his steady improvement, but instead has taken a slight backwards step.
Dude should be getting way better than 8 pts and 10 rebs. If he was getting closer to 12 pts and 14 rebs hornets would be very happy.
He is blocking a career high 2 shots a game this season, but that is still below where he should be, dude is 7'1 and agile with great springs... The extra block a game (he averaged 1 per last season) is also costing him an extra foul per game...

Chandler is a joke, or should that read he is the punchline?

Incorrect. He has talent to burn, just isnt putting it together. Showed last yr he has what it takes to be a quality centre.
