Did Derrick Rose really have an “MVP Season”?
By now, most know that Derrick Rose became the youngest player in NBA history to win the MVP. But lately I’ve pondered whether his season was really MVP worthy compared to some past seasons that didn’t reap MVP trophies. So, like any Hornets fan, I will use Chris Paul’s 08-09 season as the measuring stick […]

Who needs the off-season of 2010?
As we all know, the 2010 Free-agency was the most-action packed free-agency in history. LeBron permanently destroyed his reputation to join Bosh and Wade in Miami. Carlos Boozer went to Chicago. Amar’e decided he had had enough sun and went to the Big Apple. We saw Teams overpay players drastically. (coughTorontocough) Then there’s the 2010 […]

My review of the season and moving forward
Here is my take on the season and the Hornets awards. While everyone would agree that Chris Paul is our best player, David West was our MVP this year. Time after time, he was the go to guy on offense during crunch time and more often than not it ended up positively for us Hornets […]

Down but certainly not out
As the NBA season sets upon the skyline of Lousiana, I can’t help but be proud and depressed at the same time. The New Orleans Hornets, a team i’ve supported since Jordan left the Bulls, took the 2 time defending champions to 6 games. That is not an easy task, in actuality, that is as […]

What the Hornets got from this Season
It’s over. The Hornets season ends on a postseason loss to the Lakers. A season that was filled with ups and downs, and arguably the most drama in the NBA. I, personally, was never a die-hard NBA fan, until this season. For any doubters, for anyone who thinks that this season was not a success, […]

How Okafor helps us by getting into foul trouble! But Unfortunately [for us] the LA Lakers do not understand this. Somebody needs to tell them.
Okafor getting into foul trouble Sounds like a diaster that we saw in Games 1 and 2. Ironically the Hornets won Game 1 and had a decent chance to win Game 2. When Okafor wasn’t in foul trouble in Game 3 and 5, the Lakers flat out murdered us. when Okafor gets into foul trouble, […]

The Game That Made Me a Hornets Fan
It’s all about the playoffs right now, I know, but as the Hornets prepare for game 6 at The Hive, I thought I’d share something a bit different. I’m an 18 year old Australian. In non USA countries, people have a whole range of reasons for their various team alliances, as we obviously don’t have […]

Chris Paul Better Than Derek Rose? Huh??
A note from Joe- So this guy is responding to the 5×5 on ESPN where I answer a question about Rose. 5. D-Rose was supposed to confirm his MVP status. So what happened? Joe Gerrity, Hornets 247: At times it appears like he’s trying to prove himself so much it actually hurts the team. Why […]

Game 3 advice for the New Orleans Hornets – Let Kobe be, let Kobe score
So far in this first round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers, the New Orleans Hornets have held their own very well even without one of their leaders in an injured David West. The Bees took Game 1 in LA and then barely lost in Game 2 even though everything seemed to not go […]

The New Orleans Hornets (1-1) left Los Angeles after Wednesday night’s game with a tie in their playoff series with the Lakers (1-1).

Stung: Turnovers, free throws, bad calls help Lakers even series with Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets (1-1) went into Los Angeles to face the Lakers (1-1) in a series that no-one really gave them a chance in. After stealing the first game of the series on Sunday, the Lakers knew they were in for a much bigger fight than expected. Even with a game two loss, the […]

After I analyzed and broke down the tape I throughly dissected it. Here’s what I believe could happen.Game 1Willie Green goes 18 -for-18, […]

Edbballin504’s take on how the Hornets can beat LA…
If anyone can take down a giant, it’s New Orleans. From bouncing back from Katrina, to winning a Superbowl with the Saints, to cleaning up the huge oil spill that could have devastated our local economy, we have survived. New Orleans is the definition of perseverance and beating the odds. Yet here we are again, […]
