No one will ever mistake Monty Williams for Rex Ryan. They coach different sports. They use different styles. They are certainly in different weight classes. But I think, in the midst of our second longest winning streak of the season, Monty Williams needs to pick up the phone and get some advice from the New […]

The title here is from the oft-quoted I Have a Dream speech.  I feel this line gets too little play. Far too little. This is some of the best advice that has ever been given. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. In honor of the day, I suggest that we use this […]

I am proposing a new basketball system: The Leidenfrost System, or Leidenball, as it will be known.     Walking on coals, water dancing on a pan, and sticking your hand in molten lead . . . these are all related physical phenomena.  They are all made possible by the Leidenfrost effect.   Let’s start with […]

The next new great-value ticket plan out is the Harrah’s 5 Game Draw Ticket Plan. You can pick 5 games, all at gate pricing, and you get a Harrah’s value add ($25 gift card per seat – non gaming). Choose any 5 games starting with the 1/3 game versus Philadelphia and ending with the fantastic finale versus […]

“It’s sometimes easy to do well on a team that’s not good or not that great.” Chris Paul on Marcus Thornton.   Well, it looks like the Hornets haven’t been consistently good or great this year, CP. After tonight’s Sacramento game, Marcus better be playing, Monty.

While reading Steve Gellar’s article where he’s explaining the futility of telling local people that the city of New Orleans can support two major-league sports franchises, only to be told that this region is a football-only town, I came to the conclusion that if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Here’s what I mean: On Sunday, December […]

My fellow 24/7ers, I am currently working as an intern for the Hornets in the Ticket Sales Marketing Deparment. I am working with a ticket salesman named Ryan. I really love this blog and all of its readers. I personally have not missed a blog, journal, or forum post since I found out about this site […]

I’ll keep this short and to the point. Yes, we have lost 6 of our last 8 games. There are many frustrating issues that need to be fixed before we can consider the Hornets “contenders” of any type. 13-7 is not where we imagined being 20 games into the season after going 11-1. But the […]

I just listened in on the press conference and i thought id chime in with some things that were said. Basically the same things were said that we already knew but i felt some reassurance and hope in hearing David Stern say that he felt the best possible chance for the Hornets to stay in […]

it’s 1:56 am in the Philippines. I just finished studying my notes, and i’m feeling unfulfilled. Usually, after a hard day’s studying, i feel fulfilled because i know i’ve accomplished something. But today, i can’t shake this feeling of hot boiling emotion which i don’t know how to put in words, hence the title. So […]
