Game On: Hornets @ Kings
I have wrote about it, tweeted about it, and talked about it numerous times on the podcast – tonight’s game is huge when it comes to lottery implications. But as much as some of us think about the May 21st Lottery, that is the furthest thing from the minds of Hornets players. They are trying […]

How Marcus Thornton Becomes a New Orleans Hornet Again
Update- Apparently what I said about Paul and Thornton not liking each other is flat out wrong. I heard it, and after I ran it through my head a dozen times last night I convinced myself that it made perfect sense. The reality is that it isn’t true, the two actually are actually pretty decent […]

CP3 on Marcus Thornton
I was re-watching the Kings-Hornets game from March last night to get my CP3, Thornton and West fix, and heard this gem that made me laugh out loud. “Yo! C’mon! You know he’s goin’ one on one every time! You know he ain’t passin! Get back and help get in front of him! Every time!” […]

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 […]

Chalk Talk with Gil McGregor
Before the Hornets played the Kings on March 12, 2011, I sat down with a small group of season ticket holders in a Q&A session with Hornets television announcer, Gil McGregor. Harold Kaufman, Vice President of Communications, assisted on some questions that fell into his bailiwick. Before going on with the details of the Q&A, […]

Hornets beat Kings behind Paul’s explosive return
The Hornets entered the fourth down one, 84-85. Five minutes later, they were up 102-88. Sure, it took another seven minutes for the Hornets to win 115-103 (Box Score) but the game was over at that point. There isn’t really any surprise as to why it happened either. Okafor had been in foul trouble all game, […]

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, […]

Farewell Marcus Thornton
When the Hornets began taking down signs featuring their nearly homegrown star, Marcus Thornton, most of us knew that it was time to start letting go. Sure, we pretended that it was just a coincidence that the Hornets only homegrown player was no longer a part of their marketing to a fan base who regarded […]

Redfish Talk with Dell Demps
The Hornets had an extended Chalk Talk scheduled for about 50 season ticket holders at the Bourbon House. Â I went with my girlfriend and bumped into a couple I know from around Hornets-town. We both got the redfish, but the crab and corn bisque and the chocolate chunk bread pudding were the real show-stoppers. Â Great […]

Hornets close in on Carl Landry
Tonight, Carl Landry was held out of Sacramento’s game against Miami due to significant trade talks involving him. Multiple sites are now reporting that it is the Hornets that are close to acquiring him in return for David Andersen and Marcus Thornton. I’m a fan of Landry – and though he’s been down a bit […]

It Doesn’t Matter Who Starts, Only Who Finishes
After Marco Belinelli tweaked his ankle in last night’s win against he Orlando Magic (status still uncertain for Friday), 32,476 Hornets fans all had the same idea. “Now Marcus can start!”, everyone thought. Now I’m not saying that he shouldn’t start, or that it’s unfair if he doesn’t, or even that he deserves to start, […]

The Little Things
It seems to me that almost everyone agrees that the greatest area of need for the Hornets is among the bigs, yet far more bytes have been spent on talking about the `littles’ of late. As a result of this seemingly paradoxical behavior, I’ve compiled a little data to generate some structured discussion of our […]

Belated Holiday Post
I’m an altruistic guy, so instead of wishing for things for me, I would prefer to wish for things that will benefit all the New Orleans Hornets fans. That includes wishing that every player gained certain skills because of whatever December holiday they acknowledge. The magical idea of Santa Clause/Flying Spaghetti Monster is in no […]
