Push for a Championship, a wish list for the summer
With a young core and budding superstars, a solid young coach and a great systematic style of basketball, the Hornets are on the upswing. Assuming we can stabilize the ownership situation and have the freedom to make moves, we should be players next year to sign some free agents and make a run at a […]

Why the Marcus Thornton for Carl Landry (and every Demps trade) makes perfect sense.
No one was a bigger Marcus Thornton fan than I was. I think I literally jumped two feet out off of my couch when it was announced that the New Orleans Hornets traded with the Miami Heat in the 2009 NBA Draft to receive the rights for the LSU star. Being a former high school basketball player, […]

Chris Paul Appreciation
I was looking back at some of Chris Paul’s achievements and highlights through the years and felt like posting my first journal on here. High School Chris Paul West attended Forsyth High School in Lewisville, North Carolina. Though he only played two seasons of varsity basketball, he still was named a McDonald’s All-American. In the […]

Emeka Okafor’s Importance to the Hornets by the Numbers
To get straight to the point, I’m a pretty big believer in Emeka Okafor’s role as the key to the Hornets’ success on defense. Below, I utilized four key statistical categories to demonstrate just how important Okafor is; not just to the defense, but to the Hornets’ overall style of play. Thanks to Hoopsstats for the advanced […]

Hornets poor drafts contribute to lack of depth, cap space
Okay. We all know that the Hornets have had some poor drafts in the past. Names such as Hilton Armstrong, Cedric Simmons, and Marcus Vinicius come to mind. Oh, I almost forgot Julian Wright. However, there are other ramifications of these picks than just a wasted roster spot. There are the good NBA players that […]

Our 4-headed center monster
I wanted to analyze how DJ Aaron Andersmith has performed since Oak went down. I have been less than thrilled with what I have seen from him in these past 7 games, so I crunched some numbers to find out, in the words of H Jon Benjamin, “Does this look as bad as it looks?” […]

A Piece to Our Puzzle?
With the NBA Trade Deadline slowly approaching, and with the recent article from Dell Demps ( http://hoopdat.blogspot.com/2011/01/q-session-with-new-orleans-hornets-gm.html ) in regards to what the Hornets are looking for this season, I decided to take a look at each individual team, and what types of deals we could potential muster this season. In the article, Demps is […]

Jamison a Hornet to BEE?
UPDATE: ESPN’s Marc Stein chimed in on Jamison and the Hornets in Tuesday’s Daily Dime, writing that New Orleans “has a level or interest in [him].” But Stein writes that sources “expressed skepticism that a suitable deal can be assembled before the deadline.” Further, Stein reports the Cavs may not see much benefit in buying […]

Get Better, Emeka!
Although Jason Smith and David Andersen are playing well offensively in the absence of Emeka Okafor, they don’t have the same presence in the paint as Mek. As long as Okafor is out, we will still be lacking that force in the paint that other teams fear. Emeka plays such a huge role for this […]

We miss you Trevor.
When Ariza went out against the Thunder, I knew we were going to lose. He means so much to our defense and can make the clutch plays when needed. He always hustles and performs exceptionally well in the clutch. He never complains or whines and just Does his job. We <3 you Trevor and will miss you […]

Here. (A Get Well Card to Emeka Okafor)
Hey, Emeka. Right now, you’re here. You’re there because you were here. With you in the lineup, we were here. Without you in the lineup, we’re here. And we don’t want to be here. We want to be here again. And here. And here. Before you were injured, you were almost back to here. […]

Get well Emeka and bounce back stronger!
It is unfortunate that you were injured against the Phoenix Suns when the Hornets were making a big push in the West. New Orleans will miss your interior presence in the paint. I always believed that you had it in you to be one of the better centers in the Western Conference and you have […]

Going into the Q&A, we both were excited for the opportunity to hear […]
