Spurring Some Heated Discussion
With the 2013 NBA Finals on our temporal doorsteps, with the present and past colliding like fists two Chuck Norris fists, with silent power and grace slamming into furious flash, with the Obi-Wan battling the Anakin, of course all I can think about is the New Orleans Pelicans. All Pelicans, all the time . . […]

Hornets win back-to-back games for second time all season with 95-88 victory over Spurs
Led by Eric Gordon’s 24 points (including 8 in the game’s final 8 minutes), New Orleans held off San Antonio at home to hand them just their 10th loss of the season. In a game which the Hornets never trailed after the midway point in the 1st quarter, that lead never quite seemed safe until […]

Game On: Spurs @ Hornets
The Hornets return home for the first of three games in the New Orleans Arena this week for a match-up against the Southwest Division leading Spurs. Fresh off of a three point overtime win in Dallas, the Hornets have no time to enjoy their hard-fought victory with the Spurs coming to town. San Antonio has […]

The Spurs dominate the Hornets
I’m not going to mouth platitudes to you like “That’s what a real championship contender looks like” because that isn’t. The Spurs are a contender, but for this game they combined their ridiculous depth and talent with just one of those nights that happen to every team a few times each season. (Remember the Hornets […]

Hornets and Bulls Headline All-Improved Teams at the Midpoint
Each year I like to go through a little exercise to tell me exactly how the league’s NBA teams have improved. Now, I’m sure some of you would just point to the standings and say “Duh! Look there!” but you have to remember that I like statistics even more than I like playing at least […]

Don’t you agree? I worry about Karma with this sort of gloating, but this image was priceless.

Hornets Beat Down the NBA Best San Antonio Spurs
I was proud to be a Hornets fan tonight. In the third quarter the team played the best basketball I’ve ever seen at any time in my entire life. They were absolutely on fire on both ends of the floor and there was nothing that San Antonio could do to stop them. The Hornets absolutely […]

The Spurs crushed the Hornets
Chris Paul came to play. I’d like to leave it there. Or maybe go to the “Both Teams played Hard” standby that Rasheed Wallace went to, but that would be a lie. The Spurs played hard. The Hornets, for the first seven minutes of the game, didn’t play hard. The middle two quarters of the […]

Game On: Hornets @ Spurs
Before I get to the game, I wanted to address one thing. For those of you who aren’t aware, there are rumors flying hot and heavy that the NBA could be purchasing the Hornets from George Shinn at any moment. Yeah, the NBA, not Chouest or some other buyer. Crazy, eh? Questions, questions, questions. Are […]

The Hornets beat the Spurs
Three. And. Oh. Before the season started, I was hoping for 2-1. I was expecting 1-2. I’m having trouble containing myself. This team has shown depth, resiliency, and the ability to get defensive stops when absolutely necessary for the first time in two seasons.  Tonight the Hornets built a sixteen point lead and then held off […]

Game On: Hornets at Spurs
Tonight is a battle between the San Antonio Spurs 1.0 organization and the San Antonio Spurs 2.0 organization. Demps vs Buford. Williams vs Popovich. Paul(Wake Forest) vs. Duncan(Wake Forest).  The Spurs have only played a single game so far this season, and they won that one handily 122-109 vs. Indiana. (Side note: Collison went for […]

The Hornets link to the D-League and San Antonio continue to grow stronger as Hornets GM Dell Demps has traded a 2nd round pick to the San Antonio Spurs in return for Curtis Jerrells, a former D-league point guard that played for him for three years on the Austin Toro’s.
