5 Reasons Why Melo will Be A Hornet in 2011.
First Post, So I hope it is a Good One. 1. Peja and Posey’s Contract will Be gone. This will give us a chance to grab a big name and a not so big name, while relatively loosing nothing. 2. Thornton’s Emergence. We have the top PG. We have a good PF in David […]

The Hornets Will Surprise In The WEST
Anyone else tired of the ESPN rumors about cp3 or tired of hearing him talk about winning now, well i believe were not that far away. We have 2 all-stars in DW and cp3 and DC and MT5 who will help in their second year. Another thing is if Chris Paul realized that he is […]

Paul Hype
I can’t understand the Chris Paul Hype. He is a fine athlete. He may have been ruined by Byron Scott’s Nagin-style non-coaching: “I let Chris do what he wants to.” Kobe Bryant is by no means my favorite player, but he is very good–and he does know how to play on a team instead of […]

How Much Help Does Chris Paul Need?
Before I start, I want to say that outside of those in his immediate family, I believe I am the biggest Chris Paul fan in the world- both on and off the court. I have played basketball at relatively high levels since I was six years old and I have never seen a combination of […]

Teams Spending Money in 2010 Might Soon Come to Regret It
“If you put a gun to my head right now, I would say yes. Yes there will be a hard cap under the new CBA.” These words came four days ago from an Eastern Conference executive that has quite a bit of knowledge regarding the upcoming labor talks. He went on to state that he […]

draft night winner?
here’s a pretty flattering article by austin burton of dimemag.com on the hornets draft . First impressions can be misleading if you don’t wait around for the conclusion. Ask anybody who’s been swindled by a con artist, or watched the promising first half-hour of Jeepers Creepers before enduring the colossally terrible rest of the movie. […]

Gotta Support the Team . . . .
This is a post I made edited into my first journal entry. Enjoy. Writers have been saying for years that New Orleans is not a pro sports town, and that we won’t keep the Saints or the Hornets. Some even say we don’t deserve them. I’m sick and tired of it. You know who can’t […]

Analyzing the Draft Day Trade
Pattrick Patterson was set to be the pick at 11 after we initially turned down OKC’s first offer of 18 and 21. But after Utah selected they called back and proposed 21, 26, AND that they would take back Mo Pete. For the Hornets, this was a no brainer. First of all, Hornets officials […]

Why We Shouldn’t Be Upset if Patterson is the Pick
I am not saying Patterson will be the pick, but let’s just say I have a very good feeling that he will be a Hornet tonight (unless Aminu falls, at which point it is up in the air between the two). If my “intuitions” are right, then I have a feeling that there will be […]

E.S.P.N.: CP3 open to trade
So as hornets fans all of us have seen CP3 play over the past five years and its obvious the passion he plays with. He trys to win every game no matter its significance. His number one goal as a player isnt to make the money, but to win. This is a great quality for a […]

My Very Sad Hornets Day
When I first heard the news today I thought the only way to deal with this was to eat a really big lunch. I thought about ordering some hot wings and a giant stuffed pizza because I love hot wings and I love giant stuffed pizza. I decided to order all of the pizza left […]

My Personal Take on Bower
I don’t know the man personally, never met him. I know people who have worked for him, but hold no biases. This is the way I see it: The man was the best GM in the league in 2007-2008 and built our best team ever. Yes he overpaid for Peja and gave Mo an extra […]

2010 Outlook
It seems like everyone is expecting us to have to really fight for a playoff spot, but I have a hard time believing we are anything but a playoff caliber team. Some thoughts to ponder.. 1) CP3 should be healthy again. Anyone that watched the end of last season knows that Chris Paul was […]

Are the 4 “Front Runners” for the draft our best options?
Hey guys this is my first journal posting so I’m not sure how accurate my information is but I’m basically doing this to spark discussion and hear other people opinions. I’ve been a hornets fan for over three years now and the same as all hornets fans i LOVE Chris Paul. He grew up right here in Winston-Salem NC […]

Concerning Collison
Up front: I want to keep Collison until at least the trade deadline 2011 due to the fact our expirings become more valuable, i think more quality players will be avaliable (see Houstons work last year) and paul may get injured again (balsphemy i know) and he is the best insurance around. I am going […]

Who is the Ideal Trading Partner for Collison?
Some will argue Collison should be traded this summer, others will claim that doing so would be lunacy. Let’s table that discussion for now because each camp has legitimate points in the argument. Instead, let’s just assume the role of Hornets GM and imagine that we have already determined Collison must be moved this summer […]
