NBA media day is next Monday, October 1st. That means handshakes and photographs and smiles and perhaps even some free sandwiches for everyone wearing sleeves. It also means that training camp starts the very next day, which by my calculations would be Tuesday, October 2nd. Given that, now would be a good time to get […]

Wave goodbye to that lame-ass Microsoft field or whatever other crappy wallpaper is currently infecting your desktop. The uber-talented Dariusz Ejkiewicz has your brand new wallpaper, and man is it funky. There's two versions of this wallpaper; the first has the Hornets 2007-08 regular season schedule, while the second is pretty much the same thing […]

When the OKC-based HornetsCentral stopped posting almost three months ago, here was me thinking I had the Hornets blog market cornered. So I lay off the posts a bit, started taking more naps and drinking whiskey in the morning. Every now and then, I worried that I might lose some of you fine readers. But […]

It seems the dog days of the offseason are almost done and the newsworthy stuff is getting more newsworthy every week. Here's the latest shizzle, some of it old, some of it new… Chris Andersen was busy getting his name misspelled in the Boston Globe on Sunday. The important bit… Anderson has been working out […]

Make way for your newest New Orleans Hornet, a 6-10, 261 pound chunk of momma-didn't-love-me. Yes, the Hornets announced today that they have signed free agent Melvin Ely. Melvin, everybody. Everybody, Melvin. Terms of the deal were not announced, but I'm pretty sure Melvin's gonna be making more money than me now. Big timin'. I […]

If you haven't yet, I suggest you go read the Q&A with Hornets' director of communications Michael Thompson over at HornetsReport.com. Christopher "Harvey Hornet" James asks the tough questions and Thompson answers them with words and stuff. I'd pick out some highlights for you and throw them here, but the whole thing is a funky […]

Hiyo, it's Hitley. Lots and lots of nothingness still going on, so excuse me while I blow the insignificant out of all proportion. Drop your socks and grab your cocks, we're going to a party… Some birthday wishes to get this rolling: The newest Hornet, Morris Peterson, celebrated his 30th on Sunday last, while David […]

So Tyson Chandler made his national team debut yesterday. Team USA's big and massive 112-69 annihilation of Venezuela (recap | box) was just one of four games to open the FIBA Americas Championship in Vegas. The Hornets big man failed to score against Venezuela, but busied himself collecting and rejecting during his ten glorious minutes […]

There's not much Hornets news these days and I've got nothing to tell you guys, so how about I ask a bunch of questions instead? Great. Glad to have you on board. The theme for this dose of trivia started out as "Family," but since that idea yielded very few questions, I kinda drifted off […]

With the official announcement of Jannero Pargo's new deal yesterday, it looks like the Hornets' are pretty much done putting their roster together this summer. Jeff Bower and his cronies will probably look to add a couple of Jacksons before training camp starts, but it looks like our extended rotation is already in place. Let's […]

The NBA today released the complete game schedule for the 2007-2008 season, meaning we now know when and where the Hornets will be playing their 82. The first two games on the Hornets' schedule will be played in New Orleans. The opener on Wednesday, October 31st, brings the Sacramento Kings to town. If I remember […]

Since there's nothing much going on with the Hornets these days, the plan for this post was to discuss the 24 women chosen as the 2007-2008 Honeybees. A large part of the plan was to pick maybe a top three or a top five, based on a variety of factors, from dancing ability to likes […]

So as the Hornets get ready for their super-fantastic return to New Orleans, we've got some new faces to welcome aboard the teal wagon. In no particular order… Morris Peterson (!), who officially signed his four-year, $23 million contract on Monday, and will likely be strolling on court as part of the Hornets starting unit […]

People, people, people. How we doin? Summer League is done and the Hornets did pretty good in Vegas. Well, apart from losing all five of their games that is. Hilton Armstrong and Anthony Roberson were the studs for the Hornets, averaging like bundles of points and stuff. Full scores and stats are available here. I […]

Hell yeah, Morris Peterson agreed to sign with the Hornets today, which rocks my world just a little bit. More details here and here. Apparently dude is on vacation and he'll sign a deal worth $23 million over 4 years when he gets back. Kudos to Jeff Bower and his magic head shine for tempting […]

It's been a week since the NBA Draft, and to celebrate this fantastic occasion, here's some Hornets-related questions on zee topic… What color is Julian Wright's bowling ball? Which of these guys was NOT drafted by the Hornets: a) Tim Pickett b) Alex Garcia c) Lee Nailon. How many times have the Hornets had a […]

So I was laying in bed last night wondering how birds have sex, as I often do. When I was done with that, I started to consider our 2007-2008 New Orleans Hornets. My thoughts… Six guys from last season's roster — Desmond Mason, Devin Brown, Jannero Pargo, Marc Jackson, Linton Johnson and Brandon Bass — […]

So the draft is done and we ended up with a pair of dudes nobody expected us to end up with. Julian Wright and Adam Haluska. Were these two players the best we could do? Will either of them contribute significantly next year? Do the picks leave the Hornets with some work to do in […]

Hey, I just got back from the draft party, and I must admit it was the best damn party I've been to all day. When all was said and done, the Hornets ended up with Julian Wright from Kansas and Adam Haluska from Iowa. Wright wasn't expected to be available at 13, so I guess […]

Righty, this whole post will be mostly me thinking aloud and trying to figure out which guy the Hornets will pick in the Draft tomorrow night. As stated before, I'm way out of the loop with this stuff, so pardon my ignorance as I stumble to a conclusion. First thing I did (yesterday) was go […]
