Hornets Will Draft One of These Four Players
Prior to the NCAA tournament, I posted a couple of profiles on guys that we all should look out for. I did so because I love the NBA draft and I am blessed to have several friends in the NBA, most of whom work in various scouting departments. They are a close knit group and […]

The Offseason
Now, im going to start this with a bit of background just to give you, the discerning readers, an easy way to obliterate anything i write. So. Here it is: I live in London, England – another foreign basketball fan like one of the esteemed writers of this site, though im not quite dedicated enough […]

Making the Hornets a Contender
I realize this is 4 days late, but I was unable to login until now. Serious: The Hornets have many interesting trade options. They should first trade James Posey to Denver for Chris Andersen and Renaldo Balkman with the idea of improving interior defense. Balkman may seem to be a throw in but has […]

The Hornets X-Factor, or should I say sympathy factor.
The Hornets may just be one great player from making history and this team needs someone special. Someone that is huge in the clutch. Someone named, Reggie Miller. When I look through NBA history I think Reggie Miller would be the best fit for this team out of any player I have knowledge of. So […]

For Championship Hopes to Soar, the Hornets Need a Bird
The cliché goes that putting together a title team is like putting together a puzzle. To that end, it is all about not only having enough pieces, but pieces that fit together; that compliment each other. If it were possible to go back and grab any all time great to add to this roster, we […]

A Sidekick for Chris Paul
Going back throughout the annals of NBA history it seemed a daunting task to discover who could best align with CP3. It proved much easier to take my current knowledge of survivor results and apply it to a profound Ryan Schwan post of three months ago that will surely go down in basketball history as […]

A Positive Possibility Part #2
After my journal last week on how it might be possible to get Chrish Bosh and Andre Iguodala I thought I would back it up with a small briefing of how the roster was to work. I also recieved a large number of comments over the last week that had other possible trade ideas. (Danny Granger and the Jarret Jack with Bosh […]

Tom Thibodeau is the best candidate.
…At least in my opinion, but I figured I would explain myself a bit. I hope they consider Tom Thibodeau SERIOUSLY, and he is available. We all know the Hornets biggest concern from a coaching standpoint is for rapid defensive improvement. He is a guy who all his past players respect. So the request by […]

A Positive Possibility Part #1
It’s no secret that the hornets will be looking to rebuild a new stronger line-up for the 2010-11 season. The names Andre Iguodala and Chris Bosh have been mentioned several times on this blog and nearly everyone would have to agree that it would be a dream come true to see them both in hornets jerseys. But is it possible […]

Thornton Not ‘Just’ a Thunderous Player!!
Here’s an incredible experience I think many of you would enjoy hearing. Of course, as the creator of the ‘Thornton’s Thunder’ sign, that I hope many of you are familiar with’, we constantly marvel over the incredible things Marcus Thornton does game in and game out. We followed him @ LSU, and felt sure that, […]

Priorities of Work for Hornets Front Office
Now that the Hornets front office can shift from prospective playoff mode to guaranteed early-offseason mode, there are some decisions that will need to be made to ensure the team gets better for next year. Here is my short list for the Hornets priorities, feel free to interject your own. 1. Extend Collison’s and Thornton’s […]

Prospects for Next Year
Many people have been writing about how the Hornets will be back in contention next year. With the way Collison and Thornton have been playing, there is plenty to be optimistic about. However, let’s not get too excited just yet. I would advise caution in expectations for 3 reasons: 1- The Hornets still have severe […]

An Appetizing Offseason
As upbeat as I like to be about the Hornets, our chances to make the playoffs and do any damage are just about done, and if not done tonight, will be done in the next week or so. Not because we are going to tank, but because unless all the teams in front of us […]

Chris Paul’s Surgery Could have Long Term Effect.
This comes from Bill Simmons post from a while ago, “The trade value list: No. 40 to No. 1” a quick excerpt: Intrigued, I asked Will Carroll (the injury expert for Baseball Prospectus and Basketball Prospectus) for his thoughts. Will pointed me toward a piece he wrote about meniscus removal a few years ago. The key […]

The State of the (Hornets) Union
I realize that this late in the season, when the hornets desperately need to make a playoff push, so this entry may be poorly timed. However, I have gotten so sick of hearing of hearing that the team is in irreversible financial doom that I decided to compile some of my ideas from the comments […]

Marcus Thorton – The evolution of buckets.
Marcus Thornton Draft night came, and I eagerly anticipated who we would select with our first (and only selection in the draft. Really I was hoping for a banger like Dujuan Blair, only because I saw the man, absolutely abuse the 2nd overall draft pick a few months earlier and I had a little […]

Okafor v Chandler: Another look
One of the Hornet’s biggest moves of the off-season was swapping Tyson Chandler for Emeka Okafor. Looking at their respective playing times, the winner of the deal is a no-brainer: Okafor has started every game for us, while Chandler has spent significant parts of the season injured. But because half the fun of being a […]

Analyzing Tyson Chandler’s Impact
Hello, here again with another analysis. After the Bucks game, I started reading comments about how people miss TC. And I remember distinctly, a certain someone implying that TC has a bigger impact on the team than CP3. Now Here are the things I was able to compile… Tyson Chandler split stats(W – L profile) […]

Hornets Broadcast Drinking Game
After watching the Bees get destroyed by simple jump hooks and one step moves in the paint all night against the Bucks, I thought to myself just how nice it would have been to be drunk. I mean really smashed. After hearing what my brain computed as the 400th pun from Gil and Bob tonight […]
