Tempus Fugit
Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase translating as “Time flees,” but is more well-approximated with the familiar “Time flies.” It’s been just over a year since the Hornets were taken over by the NBA, forever changing the course of the franchise. The past year has been turbulent for other reasons, as well, but now we […]

Hornets Come in Second in Second Suns Game
I’ll pick up the recap since this one, I suppose, is too odoriferous for those with a more delicate palate . . . The Hornets failed to score at a record number race according to Rohan from At The Hive. The box score and recaps all seem to agree that the defense was on and […]

Holiday Road
As Christmas does a continually worsening, comically poor job of sneaking up on the present recipients of the world, I’m left with nothing to do but dive into my own head in an effort to maintain decorum as the yuletide behemoth gracelessly knocks the lamp over while trying desperately sneak around and deposit the season’s […]

Hornets Defeat Grizzlies in Meaningful Meaningless Game
We won. That’s all that matters. Ryan would stuff me armless into a culvert if I recapped a game like that, so I’ll continue, but entre nous, you can stop here and go get some ice cream. On the court: Playing this game without the new troops seemed like a daunting task, but the Hornets […]

Game On: Hornets @ Grizzlies (Preseason)
Hornets are up after 1. If the bench (nearly our whole team) is better than their starters after 1 period, what will the 2nd be like? Check hornets.com for radio affiliates (106.1 local) and the journals for online options (106.1 site). Carry on. Not you, point guards!

Tur-dunkin’
Renewed rebirth talks are springing up all over HornetLand. I have theories on why that is, but I’ve stuffed some soppresata in my mouth in an effort to keep this on topic. The topic, of course: A Traditional Louisiana Turducken. For those who don’t know, a turducken is a dish, not an animal. The basic […]

The Indiana University product was originally signed as a free agent by the team on […]

With a Hammer
I have almost no idea what continues to perpetuate the Chris Paul situation, and I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen in the end. The latter is way too hard for someone in my position to figure out. Staring at twitter or news feeds and hoping that `the answer’ pops out is hopeless; […]

Dell Customer Support
For a hundred reasons, I’d be surprised if any of us sees Dell around today or tomorrow if the reports of the NBA killing the proposed trade for Chris Paul to the Lakers are true, even if something he thinks is better replaces it, which is doubtful since he would have taken that deal to […]

What Game are We Playing?
I thought this was a team in a basketball league, but I’m questioning this most fundamental assumption. For two successive offseasons, fans have celebrated the possible arrival of a player as if they had won a title. This seems so contrary to the basic nature of sports to me that I have to ask: What […]

Point: Chris Paul is the Problem
Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. — Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V, William Shakespeare Yeah, I said it. Chris Paul is the problem. He doesn’t have to be, but he is. Maybe. It’s not his offense, his defense, his size, […]

CBA Framework Established, More Work to Do
Details will follow over the course of the next few days, and this thing can be derailed by a number of factors, but a CBA framework has been established. This means the BRI split and major system issues have been agreed upon by the negotiators. The lawyers, antitrust folks, etc. weren’t in on this. This […]

Christmas Has to Come Now or Never
I’ve been complaining all week and more about the extension of Christmas into the Rhineland and on towards the Paris of Thanksgiving’s season. This is not because I could possibly care less about either holiday . . . I could not . . . but because it is just pure subjugation of the season to […]

I am Not a Number . . . I am a Free Man!
In both the spirit of the NBA lockout and the spirit of being a contrarian, I’ve decided to end a lockout even if I can’t end the lockout. So gone are the days of being the prisoner trapped inside a numbered cell. No . . . I’ll leave that to the other arenas of my […]
