What We Need for the Playoffs
As 100% of the Hornets community should know, the NBA playoffs are nearing. This playoff run means more for this franchise than any other franchise in the NBA. These series of games will determine the future of the Hornets, and will inevitably lead to further success in the near future, or doom of the […]

Playoff rotation
It is getting to that time of year where it is time to speculate on playoff rotations. On most cases, playoff rotations get shortened to 8 or 9 men simply because of the increased magnitude of the games as well as the long layoffs between games. Since Monty is a rookie head coach, we have no […]

You have all been duped (A Williams and Demps Tale)
Ok, so the 10 game experiment that I was looking forward to with Marcus Thornton has come and gone. I gave Marcus 10 games as a King to see if last year really was his ceiling and if his game had really devolved since his rookie season. I know 10 games isn’t exactly a ton […]

Playoff Matchup
Lakers or Mavs? Mavs or Lakers? These are our most likely opponents. Normally I try to avoid speculation when so many things could happen between now and mid-April, but this scenario is too juicy. Imagine the following: 1. You are Monty Williams. It’s Wednesday morning, April 13, the day of our final regular season game […]

Is Ariza the worst shooter of all time?
http://nba-point-forward.si.com/2011/03/10/is-trevor-ariza-the-worst-shooter-ever/ …probably But hey, it’s always good to be mentioned in the same sentence as one of the greatest point guards of all time, right?

How the game was won, from a near-courtside perspective
I was at the game last night, and I filmed everything starting with the Hornets’ last possession. Great watch if you want to get a feel for how the fans were reacting to this.

10 Players to watch next year
Looks like Hornets fans werent the only ones who recongnized Thorton’s potential We’re getting to the stretch run and pretty soon all of our focus will be on the main players on the contending teams, as playoff positioning and award races dominate the conversation. Before we hit that point, we have time to […]

NBA Ownership of Hornets is affecting our ability to compete
Even though I’m a staunch Hornets fan, I rarely comment on the blogs and I never write anything of my own. But I just felt I need to get this out. Either the NBA needs to do something to level the playing field, or we’re all wasting our time. There’s an article on the NY […]

Why CP3 Will not be a Knick, and the Impact of the other NBA Trade Deadline Moves on the Hornets
The final days before the trade deadline have made for the most active deadline that I’ve seen since I started seriously following the NBA, which accounts for about a decade. Tons of moves were made, and although only one of them directly involved the Hornets, many of these deals will indirectly affect them. Highlighting this group of […]

The Hornet’s season in 5 statements
1. “Yay, we’re 11-1!!! We are a serious contender!! Look how good these bench guys are!! Monty is the greatest!!! We can play defense!! 2. “Boo, we lost 3 of 12…. We’re not making the playoffs!!!!!! We overestimated our talent!! No way we can do damage with this lineup!! Why isn’t Monty playing him!!!!! We need […]

The New Chris Paul
With the Hornets mired in a slump going into their longest road trip of the season, there is a simple equation as to what’s wrong, and we as Hornet fans aren’t used to it. We are getting beaten soundly at the starting PG position. While knee-jerk reactions will abound, there have been signs of a change […]

Hornets Drinking Game
The podcast discussion about “Jack Off the Hornets Bench” got me thinking about a comprehensive drinking game that might be fun to start while watching the away games. So, here’s my stab at it. Feel free to add rules that you think are a must. . . 1. David West says, “And One!” 1 drink […]

My Final Marcus Comment
Everyone knows that I am a big supporter of Marcus and I wanted to watch a couple of games with Marcus and Landry on their new teams respectively. Yes I watched all 3 marcus games and all 3 Landry games on their new teams. I am sorry that many will disagree with me but how […]

Bee-Voltron
Throughout the season, we have seen our team mixed and matched more times than Mark Cuban’s stock portfolio. We made several significant trades, changing our lineup, rotations, and roles on the team. Each one of our guys has individual skills, and it has been Monty’s job to evaluate each individual talent and utilize them to […]

Grading the Demps deals
Acquired Traded Marco Belinelli Julian Wright – This deal for me is a no brainer. We get a player with one proven talent for a player who has no one discernable skill. Marco can shoot, that much we know. Although he may be madly inconsistent, at least we know that he shoots 39% from 3 […]

Best 1st Round Matchup
As of today, the Hornets sit at the 5th spot in the Western Conference, but they’re only 2.5 games ahead of the 9th spot as well. The Mavs will be impossible to catch for 2nd in the Southwest Division, so our obvious ceiling as far as playoff seeding goes is the 5th spot. Assuming the […]

Bill Simmons grades the Hornets Trade
In typical Simmons Fashion… ANY TRADE THAT RESULTS IN A MARK CUBAN TIRADE: A-minus When New Orleans (owned and operated by the other 29 owners) traded Marcus Thornton for Carl Landry and absorbed $2.24 million of additional payroll, Cuban rightfully flipped out, wondering, “There’s no way, with their payroll, having to dump salary before they […]

CP3 could lead the Hornets to the promise land.
Let me start off by saying; I live in Atlanta, but I could careless about the Hawks. I’ve been a Hornets fan for 8 years now basically since they moved to New Orleans. Without a doubt mt favorite player in the league is CP3. His leadership and determination is what set him apart from the […]
