It Doesn’t Matter Who Starts, Only Who Finishes
After Marco Belinelli tweaked his ankle in last night’s win against he Orlando Magic (status still uncertain for Friday), 32,476 Hornets fans all had the same idea. “Now Marcus can start!”, everyone thought. Now I’m not saying that he shouldn’t start, or that it’s unfair if he doesn’t, or even that he deserves to start, […]

Hornets Survive the Magic in a Thriller
In a game that will surely be remembered by everyone in attendance, the Hornets survived a barrage of threes by the Magic late in the fourth quarter to escape with a much needed victory. MVP goes to Emeka Okafor, who despite being outplayed by Dwight Howard, did enough to get his team the victory. The […]

Saints Loss Bodes Well For Hornets Attendance
With the Saints out of the playoffs, and no chance for Lombardi Gras II, it is quite officially basketball season in the Big Easy. People might not want to hear it, but when the Saints are playing, the Hornets play second fiddle. It’s a sweet fiddle, but the second one nonetheless. With first fiddle out […]

The Hornets need to average 14,933 fans throughout the course of the next five games against Orlando, Toronto, Memphis, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City. Those are the cold hard facts.

Hornets Get Revenge on 76ers
Avenging their previous loss in Philly, the Hornets withstood a late charge by the 76ers to escape with their 21st victory of the season. While not the Hornets best performance, the 76ers apparently carried some of their energy over from their previous loss to the Lakers (as many, not me, expected), and gave the Hornets […]

Belated Holiday Post
I’m an altruistic guy, so instead of wishing for things for me, I would prefer to wish for things that will benefit all the New Orleans Hornets fans. That includes wishing that every player gained certain skills because of whatever December holiday they acknowledge. The magical idea of Santa Clause/Flying Spaghetti Monster is in no […]

Are Chris Paul’s Stats Really Worse?
Some are claiming that Chris Paul is having an off year, but is there any truth to it? John DeShazier of the Times-Picayune recently wrote that “The numbers say not everything is right“, referring to Chris Paul. To get a bit more acquainted with the new software I made a video talking about CP3’s stats. […]

A Sneak Peek at the CP3.IV
Chris Paul’s new shoe is launching in January, so the Jordan Brand made sure that all the sneaker heads were in New Orleans to check it out ahead of time. Thanks to the TrueHoop Network my name made it on that list so I got to check out the CP3.IV a little bit earlier than […]

Hornets Whoop the Jazz
The Hornets destroyed the Jazz 100-71 to even the season series at 1-1. It was a game that left little doubt that the past dominance of Deron over Paul is over, and might just get those still talking about it to reconsider their position. No, Paul didn’t do anything statistically incredible, but he did exactly […]
