Dear Chris Paul: Leave New Orleans the Right Way
Dear Chris Paul, Although you’re not my favorite person right now, that doesn’t take away from the reality that you deserve a ticker tape parade for what you’ve done for basketball in New Orleans. Without you, it’s a very real possibility that we wouldn’t still have a professional team anymore. Save maybe Drew Brees, I […]

Chris Paul and Some of the New Orleans Hornets Media
This afternoon at the first day the Alario Center opened for player workouts, Chris Paul stood in front of a group of 20- some odd members of the media and took some time to answer questions. As everyone gathered around Paul, the guy on the front of half the NBA sections on the planet, it […]

In this edition of Hornets Beat we examine other teams free agents with a focus on who would be a good fit for New Orleans. If you’re hoping for talk about amnesty, you’re going to have to wait until next week. We won’t open that can of worms until we have a better idea of […]

While Chris Paul’s Crunch Time Numbers Fell Off Last Year, The Hornets Remained Clutch
With the news that the lockout ended, I started getting back into looking at stats and whatnot from last year. One thing I noticed, which I’m guessing a lot of us probably suspected, is that Chris Paul didn’t bring his usual excellence to crunch time last season. His numbers were down drastically from the previous […]

Complete Speculation: Players and Owners Will Agree on a New CBA Shortly
I can’t help but think the Players Association headed into today’s mediator led meeting with their number one goal being getting a deal done in principle. That definitely looks weird when I put it on paper since one would think that this should have always been their intention, but the history of negotiations makes me […]

ESPN Writers Rank David West 45th
Longtime Hornets power forward and current free agent, David West, is the 45th ranked NBA player according to ESPN’s team of basketball writers. ESPN recently asked every NBA writer they have at their disposal to rank every single NBA player in the game. Ryan and I both participated, and the results have been tallied and […]

New Orleans Hornets Scoring Big on Sponsorship Deals Despite Lockout
Since the season ended the New Orleans Hornets front office staff has been kicking butt and taking names. They haven’t made any personnel moves that will propel the team to the title whenever the next season is, and there still isn’t an owner in place, but what has happened is arguably the best NBA news […]

Family Fun Day Provides Family Fun… and Ticket Sales
The Hornets Family Fun Day took place on Saturday, and hundreds of local fans both young and old showed up to partake. From a ticket sales perspective was a big success as well, with the team selling 26 full season tickets. That brings their total firmly within shouting distance of 9,000 full season tickets sold. […]

Broadcasting Still a Major Concern for the Hornets (2011-2012 edition)
On the B.S. Report, David Stern mentioned that the Hornets are negotiating a new TV deal. Since their contract with CST runs another year, it’s a safe assumption that the negotiating being done is with them at this stage. I can imagine that the team’s number one priority is secure as many greenbacks as possible, […]

The Red Team Wins!
The red team dominated the competition this afternoon, and frankly it wasn’t even close. While other colors tried to break into the fight, the red team clearly gave 110% and the result was a sweet, sweet victory. This is from today’s Red Dress Run, which benefits local charities. As you can see, I’m taking my […]

Fiending for Some NBA Action
(This is in the spirit of Holly MacKenzie’s very nice piece over at Hardwood Paroxysm, only I’m doing 36 things I miss because the Hornets have six players and there are six of them. Don’t you get it? It’s science.) It’s Thursday morning. Roughly 8am. I shouldn’t be awake yet. Last night as I sat […]

Some More NBA Lockout Thoughts
I’m back in American soil, and not surprisingly, the lockout is still in full swing. According to David Stern the NBA and the Players Association are “at the same place” that they were on July 1st. Billy Hunter says there is a better than 50-50 shot that there won’t be a season at all this […]
