This doesn’t seem too far-fetched and looks like the best path to the Western Conference Finals. What’s your bracket? #1. Lakers#8. Mavericks #4. Jazz#5. Spurs #3. Rockets#6. Nuggets #2. Hornets#7. Trailblazers

National pundits, so-called “experts”, and fans alike are left wondering what’s wrong with the Hornets this year. The West is as competitive as ever, but our Beloved Bugs just seem to be a step behind the other top teams in the West. Last season this was the team that was neck-and-neck with the Lakers down the […]

Dont forget that TODAY, the Honeybees face off against the hated, unattractive and untalented Laker Girls in the NBA Dance Team Bracket!!! In case you have trouble remembering: Laker Girls have no talent and are men in drag Honeybees make Abita Beer, beignets, and are the secret leaders of Mardi Gras.   VEAUXT BEES! http://www.nba.com/dancebracket/2009/ […]

Hope the hangover has passed and youre ready to do it again for your birthday!

…is it just me, or does the opposing team start going on large runs whenever Posey is in? It seems like the only way to stop the bleeding is to put in four starters with him, or take him out of the game. No idea why, I’ll have to look at the numbers later.

At the end of this last frustrating Saints season, it suddenly occurred to me that never had I heard a single Hornets fan say, “Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Hornets!”  In fact the thought had never entered my mind after any satisfying Hornets win, although I’m always glad to shout it whenever the […]

I’ve been babbling about how bad James Posey is now for over a month, with little or no agreement or encouragement from my fellow Hornets fans.  It’s been going on so long now that I feel like that crazy guy who sits in the corner, picking imaginary fleas out of his coat.  How does nobody […]

Dr. John has a phrase that he uses to describe the feeling you get when you are forced to comprehend something almost unimaginably bad.  Traumaticalized is his word, and that’s the way it felt in New Orleans today as a sports fan, with the announcement that Deuce McAllister was cut by the Saints and Tyson […]

I try not to get bogged down in speculatory nonsense, but with the up-and-down roller coaster of a season that the Hornets have had so far, I have given in to that temptation. Yesterday, I decided to play the NBA Trade Machine, while thinking I can, in some way, help Jeff Bower through these difficult […]

As soon Posey hit the free agent market last summer I was beyond excited that we could be the team to sign him. I’d watched him make clutch shot after clutch shot and play D as well as anyone on the floor during crunch time on two different championship teams. His ability to play 3 different positions […]

It’s been a marathon year for our superstar guard.  He’s been jet-setting around the world picking up the maximum bling in Beijing, pre-season games in Berlin and Barcelona, leading every Hornets practice, playing with fire and creativity at a level that has left the NBA in awe at his routine brilliance.  Chris Paul has become […]

I went to the broadcast of Hornets Sportsline last night, as I do every Thursday night. Last night, Gerry V’s guest was James Posey. As you may remember from a previous post, James is the only member of the current roster I have been unable to shoot when the opportunity presented itself. He has been a […]

This is the first picture entry of the upcoming series of journal entries with Hornets dialogues. If you will like those there will be more for sure 🙂 Some of the ones that I made so far can be downloaded at Ejkiewicz.com

Remember the period of time when the Hornets ran Anthony Mason at Point Forward?  At the time, I thought it was awesome but then again, I was probably 13 years old.. feel free to share any of your random Hornets memories

My League Pass almost always shows the broadcast for the team opposite the Hornets, so I’m going to make note of some of my favorite bits from the announcers here. (Note: All my journals will be late as I’m almost always watching the game the following morning. I perform live comedy most nights in Austin, […]

Let’s see… Golden State, 14 wins, pretty much a lock to score a useless #8 pick in next year’s draft and waste it on some magic beans.  A roster bogged down with fantasy flash but very few real players — the obvious exception being the Baltic Beast starting at center who shoots like 90% from […]

Gerry V’s call in show will be conducted live tonight at Hooters on the West Bank. According to reliable sources (my previous sources werent very reliable), there will be a Hornet player being interviewed. What: Radio show with Gerry V Where: Hooters at Belle Chasse and Lapalco (Grenta) When: 7 PM Thursday January 29 Why: […]

Not so far ago in a galaxy not so far away… Ok seriously it’s not that kind of a story, but anyone who was abroad for a while or just lives outside of the USA knows how hard it is to live without the Live Nba Games. I was one of those people for many […]
