Late Night Thoughts on the Hornets Season So Far and What’s to Come
With each passing game that the margin between wins and losses widens, the reality that the Hornets aren’t under-performing sets in for me. Worse yet, Gordon’s return probably won’t fix anything considering the likely timing of it. Regardless, my spirits remain high.

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 […]

Offseason Targets: Small Forward
Last offseason, the small forward position was overhauled as Trevor Ariza was brought in via trade and Quincy Pondexter was selected with the 26th pick of the NBA draft. The two brought athleticism and a much needed defensive mentality to the position, but were suspect at times on the offensive end. Ariza shot under 40% […]

The Hornets trip the Pacers
The Hornets handled the Pacers without much issue tonight, handing out a 108-96 drubbing (Box Score) that was actually a twenty-five point lead before the Hornets scrubs came in and let the Pacers cut it to pieces. If I was a Hornets sub, I wouldn’t want to be near Monty’s office tonight. He looked royally […]

Why you should appreciate Ariza
This play from Friday’s game against the Wolves just stuck in my head. Maybe two months ago, I was on the Podcast saying I was done with Ariza. This play is a perfect example, however, of why I should have swallowed my tongue, and appreciated our starting small forward. Ariza is the guy who chases Beasley […]

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 […]

The Thunder beat the Hornets
If a Marcus Thornton shot is Goaltended, does a referee see it? Apparently, after tonight, the answer is no. Seriously – this one wasn’t even hard to call like the Phoenix game. You could see it in full motion. No, it didn’t matter to the outcome of the game like the last one, but come […]
