It's been a while since we did this and now's a good time with a gap in the preseason. Get smart… Who the hell is Jack Manson? Mo-Pete is wearing #9 in New Orleans. Who was the last Hornet to wear that number? How many playoff games have the Hornets won this millennium? Which former […]

Below be the linkage for ye olde Southwest Division blog previews. Note how the link to my preview has a slash in it. I'm not sure how I feel about that slash. It bugs me a little bit, but then it bugs me even more that it bugs me at all, you know? San Antonio […]

The Hornets take on the Pacers tonight at some arena in Indianapolis in the hopes of improving to a whopping 2-0 in the preseason.

Aw, yeah! The Hornets beat the Rockets in their preseason opener yesterday, 94-92 (box | recap | photos | video). The result means nothing but I'm reveling in victory just the same.
