    Came down funny on his knee after blocking a shot. Looked really bad. He was in alot of pain. The guy was having such a great season and I really hope it's nothing serious.

    On a side note. I watched the last few minutes of the game, and the refs were terrible. There was something going on here. I am a Hornets hater, but there had to be a fix in for this one. The Hornets shot 39 free throws to minnesotta's 21.

    I can understand a disparity but cmon 39 free throw attempts? That is surreal. Its not like they had any playmakers on the court either.They were officiating the game like Sean Marks was Shaq or something. It was a joke.

    Wow, I hope he does feel better because he is the future of the Wolves. Without him, they are just god awful.

    Al Jefferson has had a beast year as well and should have been an all-star. Feel better Big Al. Feel better.

    Wow we can't catch a damn break today. Hornets managed to win without CP3. Phoenix is about to win.. Our only hope is GS.

    According to Cuban's rating this shouldn't be a major loss since Randy Foye and Sebastian Telfair are the two best players on Minnesota.

    He never said they were the best players for Minnesota. He said that it reflected the players that are being best put in a position to succeed and delivering for their teams.

    Anyway, I hope the injury is not as bad as it looked.

    it's hard to imagine how the hornets are managing to win without cp3. he's pretty much the whole team right there. and you have sean marks almost getting 20 points?! ridiculous.

    That's sad. I feel bad for the kid....he's by far the best player not playing the All-Star game this year, and he will be in plenty of ASG's for years to come. He's also one of the nicest, most humble players in the NBA.....if I recall, he signed a deal worth nowhere near his market value because he felt like he didn't deserve it.
